Energy-conservative high school student Houtarou Oreki ends up with more than he bargained for when he signs up for the Classic Literature Club at his sister's behest—especially when he realizes how deep-rooted the club's history really is. Begrudgingly, Oreki is dragged into an investigation concerning the 45-year-old mystery that surrounds the club room. Accompanied by his fellow club members, the knowledgeable Satoshi Fukube, the stern but benign Mayaka Ibara, and the ever-curious Eru Chitanda, Oreki must combat deadlines and lack of information with resourcefulness and hidden talent, in order to not only find the truth buried beneath the dust of works created years before them, but of other side cases as well. Based on the award-winning Koten-bu light novel series, and directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto of Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu, Hyouka shows that normal life can be full of small mysteries, be it family history, a student film, or even the withered flowers that make up a ghost story.

_"I don't care if no one likes me. I wasn't created in this world to entertain everyone." -Oreki Houtaro_ It’s been a while since I’ve had such a lighthearted and chill anime like this one. The overall storyline was composed of a number of mysteries that a group of friends had to solve, but the rea…
Read full review on AniList →Hyouka is an anime of tastes. Either you love it, or you hate it. There is no midway. Dubbed by /a/ as the most boring anime ever, it is obvious that it doesn't quite have what it takes to be at the top. Still, /a/ has gone to **** so taking its opinion on anything is pointless. In which case, it…

Read full review on AniList →When It comes to the slice of life genre, I feel there are two main appeals(aside from straight moe/fanservice). The relaxing vibes or the rich character dynamics. If Yuru Camp is the golden standard of the former, I think Hyouka would be my pick for the best of the latter. A show that is carried so…
Read full review on AniList →Sinceramente, Hyouka é um anime muito subestimado, talvez por compararem com slices of lifes atuais, cheio das coadjuvantes peitudas e ecchi e todo o resto de fantasia, as pessoas deixem de aproveitar o que há de mais belo nesta história: a juventude. Hyouka é um anime simples, sem cores saturadas,…

Read full review on AniList →(a little background before I start) I watched this anime four years ago, but I didn't fully understand some of the mysteries in it in great detail at the time, as it was my first time watching an anime, let alone the "mystery" type of anime.

Read full review on AniList →Hyouka is one of those rare shows that makes excellent use of its dual genres, blending them together seamlessly creating both an excellent mystery and a character slice-of-life show.
