    A great work of art and story as it is always

    I've just watched this series in this New Year Day through an introduction of my sister, and I jumped right here after finishing it. The story is really great, maybe because I am an introverted person and I really find myself through the main character, Houtarou (not the investigate part, for sure :D). The way it got the viewers into the mysteries along with the series is just so exciting, though they are all just some a bit more-than-ordinary-stories that happened in a high- school student's everyday life, and all of their beautiful, innocent emotions. Also the work of art is just so good comparing to all manga anime I've watched. If you want to find sometime to relax and get some good-old-memories from your student time back, or even you are not, this is sure a good series to watch. Enjoy :)

    Full of mystery

    This anime might be one of the best mystery anime I've seen. This is really something wish there were season 2. But there aren't enough material so no chance. It make you want to see more by each episode. This is a must watch anime.

    .. A masterpiece

    "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick." - Houtarou oreki

    Good story

    Story is awesome MC is cool and it takes a pretty good start but somewhere in the middle of the series it getsb little boring but keep watching and at the end you will love it.

    Absolutely masterpiece

    One of the best slices of life animes i have ever seen. The blue air hyouka with its sad yellow tone make its different from other slices of life animes. The protagonist :Oreki Houtarou with his motto of having peaceful school days become opposite to Eru Chitanda:The fool....Every scenes are so warm and lovely from the genres... Simply love this show<3
