Let me say don't stop watching it by experiencing first or second episodes. You should comment it after completing whole episodes. I wasn't confident enough to watch this show at the very beginning.But it turns out to be an exceptional anime with slow paced scenes.Most of us might be expecting a lot from it, but the case is, only the patient ones will only enjoy Hyouka to the full extent.If you are Sherlock Holmes fan I highly recommend it.I HOPE FOR THE NEXT SEASON...
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
"If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick." - Houtarou oreki
Hyouka is a story about a high school boy who would rather not exert energy on everyday school life. However, after being urged to join the Classic Literature Club, but gets swept up in a girl's desire to investigate the simple parts of life.
Hyouka revolutionizes the slice-of-life genre by diving deep into it's characters and pins down what makes them tick. No detail is left behind and every primary character is a changed person by the end of the series. The protagonist, Oreki, is a masterfully-crafted character and captures the sense of a apathetic high schooler perfectly. He also contrasts well with the other 3 main cast members who are very lively compared to him.
As expected of Kyoto Animation, the animation is unparalleled. The musical score flawlessly mixes classical pieces with the up-beat ones.
All in all, Hyouka is not only a well-oiled machine, but a innovative one at that. It's rare to see an anime have a plot so well-written while being consistent, two things which Hyouka does in stride. There is no doubt that anybody who watches this will become instantly attached to the Classic-Literature Club and their endeavors involving the everyday high school life.
Although the mysteries of the anime are intriguing and I had a lot of fun following them and trying to solve them, over time, you realize that the anime suffers from the lack of a story line. The solving of the mysteries does not take the characters anywhere and does not evolve the plot, thus causing a certain lack of interest in continuing to watch.
If it wasn't for the beautiful art, the good opening and ending songs and the good character development, hyouka would be just another anime about the daily student life of its characters that I would pass by and wouldn't have finished watching, because, let's be honest, there are many similar anime of this type.
