THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This last episode really closed down on peaceful relationships. Ibara in the following,

Considered what happened last episode sure made up nice with Satoshi. I really liked that.

About Satoshi x Ibara, like mentioned above I was very pleased to see how the reaction went in the spoiler

whom Ibara and Satoshi seem to be enjoying themselves and smiling. It looks like all seems to be cleared. I can only hope he overcomes his stupid ideological point of view towards love. That being said I enjoyed in the spoiler

seeing Ibara come to terms and smiling back with a good blush towards Oreki. Hoping Ibara x Satoshi will just get better after this.

About Irisu, I was glad they showed her one last time in the spoiler

with positive good features as such her face and smile. Those looks really made impression and nice last words there. Hopefully Irisu does not continue to manipulate people like she did to Oreki. Even his sister did not like that part of her. So it says a lot on whom needs to change of her that being her character a little.

About Oreki x Eru starting part, it’s the part the translates into what is the end of this series and episode. The first thing to catch my eye is that Oreki in the spoiler

was waiting for Eru and not the other way around. That was nice. Moreover lovely expressions of MOE from Eru. That blush was nice.

As thing progressed within that part, the hand writing in the spoiler

was not only romantically corny a little there but funny. Both characters looking at each other and their expression were rather very excellent for me.

Finally Oreki explaining his side of things in the spoiler

regarding the festival comes out rather nice reaction of MOE value from Eru during that part and good recollection from the festival part. I noticed how nice Eru’s fingernail are done with a pink shade around that part.

About thee end, BLOWN OUT! MAX IMPRESSED! Strong shouts indeed for the following,

Eru all in pink Sakura flowers was breathtaking. I registered that to my neural S.S.D. in my brain. Eru was so breathtaking it’s amazing TBH. Basically it shows that Eru is THE ONLY LOVE and pink of Oreki’s life and perhaps a foreshadow of their romance coming closer to fruition.

Apart from that the start of it in the spoiler

started out nicely in terms of the background being pink the colouring reflecting. Oreki was essentially seeing that PINK he is missing in life and perhaps Eru being the one who emits it.

Comes the sad mood and sky in the spoiler

now that part got into some deep thinking and was taking a rather huge emotional toll from the thinking itself. Eru’s face were not so cheerful at all. This part was kind of ruining the PINK flow from before it. Till it does clear. However they did make Eru’s facial good there and the sky colour.

Comes the realization in the spoiler

that was very remarkable with how a gust of wind blows Sakura petals like a fresh insight. Whom also made Eru recover into a very nice smile and positive face.

About the conclusion, it was rather Eru facial rich and satisfying in the spoiler

that is to say the PINK shade was a nice touch up to continue this segment’s PINK notions. Ultimately finishing nicely with a hint of romance sparking off much more than before. Oreki’s blush there was pretty nice.

Other than that some final thoughts of the episode follow.

About the beginning, at first from the looks of the spoiler

I was thinking Oreki was getting April Fooled there but I was wrong. It could have been hilarious if he did not know.

It became quite fast the opposite in the spoiler

as he got yelled most likely for the troubles with Eru of that last shrine visit. Nice collection of dolls. Those are the Russian ones I think.

Oreki’s Shrine visit, already the start of his outgoing in the spoiler

shows out a Sakura tree itself. A PINK hint from the start. Got to admit it must be damn cold inside that place but yet it’s lively as a event is about to unfold.

As the crazy ass person in the spoiler

comes with a rather outraging expression and the talks continue I found it rather hilarious a little but perplexing as things went on and that crazy person bowing towards Oreki. Well guy sure has some attitude. In general the staff interactions was nice to follow.

About the planning, it was nice in the spoiler

to outline the trail and Oreki was most likely well logical around it. I noticed the highlighter is PINK in colour too.

The dressing of Oreki in the spoiler

gave me WOW O_O Oreki looks clean and nice like that. It goes well with him despite making him look a little strange from how I am used to seeing him dressed.

About the parade, the start of it in the spoiler

showed just how rich the dresses are and how nice the colours become. The red/green demon costumes were intriguing. Irisu is spotted rather easily with her eyes but what comes really blown out is in the spoiler

ERUUUUUUUUU! She looks great. A true beauty. She can easily become a Geisha if it was not for her clumsy attitude not panic attacks over some situations.

So the parade goes on in the spoiler

and obviously the best part of it was Eru x Oreki moments and the Sakura tree along with the colouring used there. The atmosphere and setup of this segment impressed and was finely done.

Finale thoughts about the series in general in the spoiler

since it’s apart from the episode itself.

BTW Art from a CM of this episode in the spoiler

hilarious how all are flying on carpets.

It was a decent episode, but I was hoping for a better end for this series. I wish it would get a second season but chances are, it won't. :(

Boredom got me here. Boredom will get me out of here. Damn, I really am bored.

No but I heard of a movie maybe. If another novel comes out they can do a 12 cour easily to conclude or expand upon 22 episodes again.

As far as I know, movie or other continuation is mere speculation. The fact that there is a 5th novel published that has not been adapted yet suggests that they would be idiots if they failed to capitalize on this very popular series, but we won't know until they make an announcement.

Personally, there are things that I would prefer to see Shoji Gatoh (script, series composition) work on before they do any more Hyouka. (FMP season 4, for instance!)

I agree and that's why I mention a 6th novel should be awaited for.

Yeah they can do you stuff in the meantime.

Decent? I thought the ending was perfect for the show. It was about Oreki and his growth, and this last episode really showed how much he grew, in a really subtle way. It could have ended with him confessing his love, but that would be really out of his character and feel out of place. Plus, it would be too drastic of a change, considering this was such a slow series to begin with.

I liked the episode overall, although I'd like a slightly more specific ending. The ending suited the show really well, but I believe it could have been better if we got more detail on what will happen between Chitanda and Oreki. Great anime overall though. ;3
