Sorry couldn't help it lol

Well, Houtarou did imagine Eru with a tail in an earlier episode, and then a spirit in another, so it sort of fits ;)

There was like pretty much no fanservice here even though it was a hot spring episode. Chitanda did get more moe this episode though.

I think I detect some romantic feelings brewing up for Houtarou.

Finally some fan service of the boys! :P

It's hard to say whether Chitanda has feelings for Oreki. She seems rather touchy but apparently only to him. Perhaps she's the stubborn one.

Again, simply beautiful and brilliant animation. The mystery was a bit trivial like the last time but I can overlook that by the amazing execution. I was sure that it was something related to siblings. Still, I could never analyze things as far as Oreki does! The best part is surely Oreki's imagination going wild. It's always great to see more explicit Oreki x Chitanda moments; it's usually very subtle, which is quite beautiful in its own way.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

I totally miss the mystery for this episode. I thought it was Satoshi, who played the "hang man" to scare/tease Mayaka. Oh well, good episode overall, it really fooled me!

First Hyouka episode I would say was excellent. Beautiful art and an intriguing mystery for once. Also the dialogue was spot on and a lot of nice character moments. Amazing ending too. This show is starting to grow on me...

It was an okay episode (plot-wise), though the colouring was gorgeous! And fan service of Houtarou and Chitanda's bodies? XD

I am seeing more of Houtarou X Chitanda now! I am guessing the reason why Houtarou fainted was partly because of Chitanda? XD

Whilst I was watching the previous few episodes, I was thinking "wow, a good anime with no fan service". I mean, even in shots which could have been easily fan-service, like Chi-chan bending over, they chose angles and wardrobe to make it not seem ecchi. That alone set this anime apart, that it felt so confident that it totally ignored the ecchi card (take that, horny otakus! we're Serious Business!).

...but then along comes the onsen episode!

Surprisingly though, they did nudity without being ecchi. I mean, even when he passed out thinking about the girl, it wasn't a noseblood scene. Also, it was interesting that she apparently wanted it to be a mixed bath.

The story was good as usual and his "luck" at figuring things out holds true.

Very fascinating series, I can see why this flavour of ice cream is so popular...

Good episode. Though I think it's kind of depressing that I'm seeing some people write off this episode as a "fanservice episode" when you actually saw very little of that and what you saw wasn't particularly obvious. What we got out of this episode is that Oreki is becoming increasingly "aware" of Chitanda and her wanting a sibling. I loved the scene at the end there, btw.

I liked the first 10 minutes before the mystery part came in.
There definitely wasn't enough fanservice in this episode.
With art and animation this beautiful I'd like to see more fanservice.
No ecchi shows look this good.

Also, those two need to kiss.

So, this is the episode with the fujoshi director and her forced yaoi fanservice. It's sad that the fujoshi tarnish even the purest anime with their rotten tastes.

They put cheese in their cheesecake in japan? Thats disgusting. You are supposed to use some sort of fresh cheese for that (different ones depending on region), and those don't have a cheesy smell at all.

Thats as dumb as mixing up the smell of milk and cheese!

Stake less compelling, the mystery is not so difficult, or at least from the plot and the narrative does not make the story so fascinating, at first I thought that tar the two girls there was a bond of blood, because I do not even know I. Technically well made and directed his moves no mistake, for these reasons, no maximum grade

One thing I forgot to comment on was the OP. The singer has an amazing voice!

I really trying to reserve judgement here but I hope that there is more development between the characters. Another rather boring mystery and if they keep going to different places like this onsen and next ep the movies, they should at least interact more.

Dat timing when Oreki is getting undressed.

This time he's getting doubled teamed into the mystery hahah.


ruthless.

Also, I don't really understand the short sentences at the end of every ep, like, "The little bird remembers" at the end of this ep. Whats up with those?
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

That's a good fanservice for you.
Thanks to the studio - the fanservice was very moderate and did not really expose anything too much...
Again, detective Oreki solved the case.

Oh, a development for Chitanda and Oreki, this is getting interesting XD.

So telling a ghost story made it look real, until another misunderstanding where Kayo wants to wear Rie's Yutaka for the summer festival. Well that sums about right. Yet again Oreki still manage to solve the case, and being close around Chitanda :D.

Ahhh, the classic onsen episode anime can't escape. But surprisingly, it's normally the episode were the anime director put all the fanservice he can, but there wasn't that much fanservice. Not that I mind much.

It was a great episode. Again and again, looking at the story backward make the msytery look so obvious :P

Houtarou hormones are flowing hard xD
That was too much energy for him, it litteraly K.O.ed him :P
Having those wet dream... Well, everyone would have some with a girl like that o.O

Ooh, really liked this episode! Cute meeting Ibara's little sisters, and the "mystery" was solved nicely. Seems like Houtarou's starting to like Chitanda too eh? Oh dear ... I wonder how this will play out XD Typical Chitanda thinking having siblings would be all fun and joy, but nice moment at the end when Rie was helping Kayo after she hurt her foot :3

Eh, Oreki and Chitanda should just hook up, KyoAni teases us with a romance that will probably never happen -_- Unless... we'll see.
