Oreki's got a bit of an attitude in this OVA, and more of an attitude than usual. They never really explain WHY he's acting so weird, but they acknowledge it enough that there should be some kind of explanation. The fan service in this kind of bothered me as well. I love me some good fan service, don't get me wrong, but the boob close-ups in Hyouka just feel... wrong, somehow? I can't put a finger on why, but this show feels like it should be above that. Maybe this OVA is just their chance to let their hair down and take it easy.
In the end, I'm glad I watched it. It feels like it may be inconsequential to the whole series, but I'm glad I got one last story. The wait until September's going to seem like forever!
