Oreki's "teehee" made my day XD. One of my favorite episodes of the series. This is what I wanted Hyouka to be ---- a good slice of life show mixed with comedy and romance. The mystery episodes really doesn't interest me much, probably because they feel too unimportant for my liking. On the other hand, I feel Hyouka does a great job with developing its main characters, especially Oreki. It's just impossible to not like him!

One episode remaining... gonna miss this series =(

Goodness, I loved Oreki in this episode. And Chitanda was just simply gorgeous.
Mayaka, too! I thought she looked pretty with the hair extensions(?) and those shrine maiden robes.

Thanks to the fact that both Satoshi and Oreki watched the same drama that afternoon, Oreki and Chitanda were saved (too bad nothing much happened between those two in the shed). Great minds think alike.

So, I think there is about one episode left? I wonder how this series is going to end.

If the last episode is half as great as this, I can die happy
Oreki's reaction to Chitandas kimono was perfect ^^
And their little alone time in the shed was incredibly cute, even if they didn't cuddle to keep warm like I had hoped

Best part:



This is just too funny!! So sad that we only have one more ep..

Oreki, you kill me xD


Only one more episode though ;w;

Very nice episode, I'm in love.

Chitanda looked absolutely stunning in that kimono, and I liked how they put so much detail in her look, too.

This week's "mystery" was "how to get out of that shed w/o too much ruckus"
Oreki solved this one as well. :D

As much as I would have liked to see Chitanda with her clothes coming loose, that would have meant satoshi would have found them like that - Oreki would have NEVER heard the end of it.

And last ep will be a V-Day episode?

You know, with all those relationship hints, if nothing in that direction (however faint it may be - neither oreki nor chitanda are assertive in that matter) happens, I WILL feel trolled.

...What? That was it? That was the episode? What the flying fuck? Really? Really? So I guess I'm the only one that was headdesking at this whole episode, yeah? I mean, it was just so fucking ridiculous. "herpa derp what if people were thinking we were doing indecent stuff!?" Then... I dunno, you can like... explain, yeah? Pretty sure that Kaho chick would cover for them easily since she sent them on an errand. Hell, Houtarou could've just instantly leaped at the door when it got closed and nothing would've even happened.

Good grief, I'm not sure which episode was worse, this one or the math teacher one. And judging from the preview, looks like the show will end with a fizzle and more Oreki/Chitanda tease.

lol how come many ppl expecting chitanda hug oreki when chitanda even forbid him to yell for help, where is your brain ?

this episode as always has a very decent artwork,
but....I really dont understand at first place why oreki decided to use handkerchief first, and then wallet,

- only by handkerchief Ibara will thinks that Chitanda dropped it
- empty wallet and she will thinks Oreki is careless

why not just put chitanda handkerchief inside houtarou's wallet, coz it will looks suspicious enough to Ibara ?

and the four ways to out by breaking wall, roof, door and digging, I think oreki just kidding,. a saving energy guy like Oreki wont do something that waste much energy, especially by digging the ground lol

the most effective and Oreki way actually yelling, and then Chitanda hide in the dark coz they said it's dark there, so I think ppl who help them will not notice if one of them is hiding , so after oreki or chitanda out, he/she can just come back in few seconds and open the door again :DD

that's my logical idea, but I know, anime is anime,
and the reason they didnt come up with my idea is because anime supposedly not boring like my method ^^

Nice episode.... Eru and Oreki trapped in a shed on a cold new year day..... (I was really longing for a HUG <3)

Seems like all the episodes after school festival are for EruxOreki moments.....

I'm having thoughts that next week may not be the last episode? I've seen theories floating around online. Apparently the title of next week's episode shares it's name with the second-last section in the 4th volume of the light novel. Would be strange to end the anime at that point, wouldn't it?

i.e. next week is 2nd last episode, final episode will be BD exclusive??

Well everybody expected from Houtarou and Chitanda to as least hug in the cold, myself included, but if we look at it realistically, this series doesn't have the romance tag (sadly to admit) and so you kind of expect for nothing to happen.

To me, possibly the best episode thus far. Seriously, the author of Hyouka really is creative in his ways. (What with the 'trapped like a rat' thing)

It was almost like romance was completely unnoticeable until the previous episode and this episode. I wonder if it will reach the climax at the finale.

I still think they should have dug a tunnel underground since it was faster and it won't destroy anything from the shrine.

It was a nice episode just too see Kimono Eru ,Shrine Maiden Mayaka and Kaho.

Chitanda would probably make the first move if something romantic is going to happen between the two of them in the last episodes.

Oreki just doesn't have the initiative to start something or do something regarding his feelings for her.

Chitanda also probably wished for Oreki to be by her side forever when praying and ringing the bell. I'm calling it.

I really enjoy watching this show, but sometimes it doesn't make much sense to me.

In this episode, Oreki met a girl who is in his class and is named Juumonji. After the whole Juumonji incident, it seems like the writer(s) wouldn't put in a character with that name unless it meant something, yet nobody mentioned the incident in this episode. Similarly, if Chitanda already knew Juumonji Kaho, why didn't she mention her when they were trying to figure out who Juumonji was?

The Juumonji incident itself didn't make much sense to me, either. It turned out that a character we didn't know was secretly taunting another character we didn't know about losing a thing that we didn't know existed. How is that a satisfying conclusion?

And on top of that, in the first episode, Fukube mentions the "rising power" family names that start with 十 (10), 百 (100), 千 (1000), and 万 (10,000). The first one was Juumonji. Nobody has talked about that since. I think I remember at least one other character whose name started with one of those kanji, too, but I'm not sure. Anyway, was that information really just useless trivia? It seems like it should mean something.

Am I overthinking this? Am I missing something? Or am I supposed to be confused and waiting for it all to come together in the final episode?

Thanks.

So looks like the mystery this time was the question of how they were going to get out, without causing a commotion for the shrine visitors and/or misunderstanding towards them by Chitanda's family and family's friends which are the shrine caretakers.

Although I still think the fastest way out with the least damage (at least considering Oreki's initial destructive ideas) was to shout and call for help, and then explain the situation later.

I can't tell if Chitanda's too considerate or not: not asking Oreki why they were at the shed before entering, to considering her family's relation with the shrine's caretakers if rumors were to spread amongst the people around who hear of this that were not explained about the situation due to a simple mishap.

After thinking about it some more, perhaps Chitanda's idea to hold Oreki back was a good one after all. If they shouted for help, the commotion among the shrine visitors would definitely arouse rumors (of the only daughter of a wealthy family having improper relations with a man--unbecoming of a lady). And even if their situation were to be explained to the shrine caretakers, it would normally stop there and not explained to anyone else, which would most definately affect Chitanda's family's business with their business partners in the management of their farmlands.

...although I don't think Chitanda would have though this far ahead in that short time right before she covered Oreki's mouth.
