    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

    Hyouka unravels curiosity

    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...

    In memory of the 35 Kyoto anime studio employees who have lost their lives in the tragedy <3

    It's so devastating that the Kyoto Animation studios was attacked by a disgusting human being yesterday. I can't get over this tragedy like 35 talented Kyoani employees lost their lives because of him.

    I decided to watch Hyouka today because it was the first made-for-tv anime adaption the studio ever did and boy they did a great job on it. Now I have to say the storyline wasn't exactly the best but the whole anime was well done. The animation and voice actors really hit the spot of me wanting to watch more of the anime. When the teens go around the cherry blossom areas, man you'd honestly wish you were in Japan!

    It's so hard for me to type a review like this, my thoughts and huge condolences go out to the victims families as well as their colleagues. It's a very sad time to lose a large group of people who have worked their butts off in supplying the best animation out there. May they rest in peace <3

    Intriguing at first, but then...

    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.
