Why does everyone hate Hyouka?

I honestly thought I was the only one who did?

Hyouka is pretty well-regarded. It was generally disliked during the first story arc, but quickly became more liked afterwards.

everyone on /a/ says it's boring :(

People don't hate hyouka, people can't help but appreciate the fantastic visual direction, the colorful cast of characters, the loveable female lead and the interesting male protag. The entire story's premise is art. The unique take on adolescence as the characters grow closer, the very relaxing and soothing music the zzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Because it's shit.

Incredibly fucking boring, gave that shit 8 episodes before dropping it

>>150331786
BecauZzzz

It wasn't interesting. While the characters had huge poential, the actual episodes where characters talking around a table about uninteresting mysteries that could hardly be solved by the audience. All the attention you might pay to it becomes useless. The fact that the first mystery was solved through a smell the viewer couldn't identify truly set the tone for the rest of the show.

I'd say the only episode I truly enjoyed was the pool OVA since it focused on pure SoL. Great visual direction and music does not make a show. Hyouka was very uninteresting.

>>150332324
Pretty much. I just don't understand how can /a/ praise Hyouka so much. After 13 episodes the show wasn't good, and then people tell me that at that point is when it gets better. What's this? FFXIII?

Too short. I wanted more Houtarou.

Watching a mystery anime for the chance to solve the mystery before the solution is presented is like watching K-On for serious advice on forming a band.

It's consistently highlighted as Kyoani's peak.

>>150333176
>Watching a mystery anime for the chance to solve the mystery before the solution is presented
Is the basis of any mystery fiction
Not to solve it, mind you, but to see the elements that helped the characters to discover the solution and to be surprised by clever foreshadowing.

>>150333266
Hyouka has that

>>150333292
Not really
Also if it has anything, it's only presented through dull conversations and not elements in the story

>>150332073
Why?

>>150333308
and every Agatha Christie novel is solved through some character confessing right at the end, get over it

I really have no clue why I don't like it.
I usually gobble up moeshit, but something about Hyouka made me hate it.

It's the only good thing Takemoto has ever done.

>>150333308
If you think the conversations are dull, I think that says more about you and your tastes than it does about the show. Which isn't to say you're wrong for not liking them, or that I'm wrong for liking them; it's just not your cup of tea.

>>150331786
Because it's a boring version of oregairu. Different genre, mind you, but similar character concepts done well.

>>150333251
That's K-on. But Hyouka had nice melancholical vibe.

>>150333387
You mean similarity between the MCs?Oreki is nothing like Hikigaya. He is not bitter just relaxed.

>>150333387
I dunno, the character types weren't that similar.

>>150333340
Agatha Christie is not very good.

>>150333352
probably because Hyouka isn't a moeshow

>>150333409
Both of them doesn't give a fuck about the world until something catches their attention, be it the I'm curious annoying girl or the requests made by character of the day.

Thing is, Hikigaya is way more interesting and shows development as the show grows. Oreki stays the same and never went out of his frame.

>>150333462
>Oreki stays the same and never went out of his frame.
He doesn't stay the same. The change is subtle, but it is there.

>>150333443
It is, though.
Just a moeshow with good directing and animation, as well as a 'plot'.

>>150333318

Is there any reason to like Chitanda? she is annoying to the core.

I unironically watched it because of the sleep meme. It wasn't bad at all, pretty decent really. I just wish Oreki and Chitanda had more development together.

Holy shit

>>150333443
It's a moe show. MC himself is very moe.

>>150331786
Because it's by Kyoani, and because Kyoani is shit.

In 2009 Kyoani's executives and marketing department invented "moe," a genre of anime where cute girls do nothing except drink tea and flash their panties (or was that ecchi? Or is that the same thing? I don't know), and because this was so successful they have never done any other kind of anime ever since (they literally copy-paste K-On and change some colors, and the stupid fucking otaku scum haven't figured it out). The TV executives who control all anime paid $2 billion to a consulting company to focus test moe, and they determined that NEET otaku hikikomori pedophile niggers will buy literally anything that's moe and spend thousands of dollars on them, so the executives forced all the studios to make nothing but moe. And thus Kyoani killed anime and that's why Hyouka is shit.

>>150333478
I don't know, I only remember the other boy as the only character that showed changes. Maybe Oreki needed a Hayato to have a push here and there, or from somewhere else.

>>150333539
You should explain why she is annoying.

>>150333462
Oreki develops the most.

>>150333559
It's nothing groundbreaking; he's become a bit more willing to expend energy on things. Like I said, it's subtle change, but it is change.

>>150333559
He became more outgoing later on

>>150333508
What are your criteria for a "moeshow"?

Anything less edgy than Bunny Blender?
Anything more upbeat than Texhnolyze?

>>150333559
They all did; it was just subtle.

>>150333572

All she does is requesting stupid shit to oreki do even when he clearly doesn't want to, she waste peoples time with irrelevant bullshit and act like a spoiled brat just because "muh curiosity".

also, moe is for faggots.

>>150331786
I liked it so much that I'm considering to rewatch it next weekend

>>150333610
Moeshit=anything that doesn't have blood, violence, or some form of combat (it doesn't count if cute girls are doing the fighting). Half of /a/ unironically believes this, but then again half of /a/ only comes here for shounen anyways.

>>150331786
It was one of the IRC crew's targets for shiposting. So because
1: A lot of people on /a/ just repeat what they've seen others write
2: Writing zzz and posting epic meme images to prove that they were there when it aired (same as some people blatantly lying about watching CG with /a)

>>150333645
Do it.

Second viewing was much more enjoyable after being acquainted with the vibe.

>>150333635
Meh somebody has to be curious otherwise the mystery elements wouldn't come out.
>moe is for faggot

>>150331822

>>150333764

>Meh somebody has to be curious otherwise the mystery elements wouldn't come out.

I know that is for the sake of the plot, but she still annoying tho.

It's the thinking man's anime, don't expect braindead ADHD riddled underage morons who watch juvenile dross like Kill La Kill & Tokyo Ghoul to be able to enjoy this masterpiece.

I finally understand why people dislike kyoani, they are literally too dumb to follow the hardly subtle clues and need everything explicitly stated. Do you think K-on lacks character development as well?

>>150336273
Oreki really doesnt develop outside of "muh grey life... no energy" to "muh slightly more colored life... I use a bit of my energy because bitch always asks me to"

>>150336925
It's not like this kind of standard half-assed development is any good though. It essentially is "make your character lazy - make him do stuff reluctantly - ok good enough". If the stuff he'd do was interesting at least I wouldnt say, but how are those mundane mysteries supposed to represent anything?

For real? Why is that?

I literally tried twice and couldn't get past the first episode. The pacing was horrible as well.

>>150340969
It gets better during the second half because the episodes are more SOLish than full-on mundane mystery nobody gives a shit about. I wouldn't say great, but it gets somewhat interesting.

Your daily reminder that Hyouka is a masterpiece and among KyoAni's top three television anime series (with K-On! and Nichijou, Chuunibyou S1 is fourth).

>>150341237
There's not a single right word in this post

>>150341237
>KyoAni's top three television anime series
1. K-On
2. Hyouka
3. Nichijou
4. Hibike
Chunibyo sucks.

>>150341370
1. Clannad AS
2. Haruhi
3. K-on!!
4. Nichijou - Hibike

My favorite Hyouka arc is Chitanda's vacation to Mexico to investigate Irisu's swollen belly.

>>150340969
Because the first arc was slow but the rest are more engaging

>>150333635
Chitanda is also important because she needs to be there to offer a more "human" point of view to things. For example, at the end of the movie arc, Chitanda was concerned about what Hongou felt, instead of just the script.

>>150341237
Kyoani doesn't have three good television anime series, unless you count K-On! as two shows.

>>150343066
What? KyoAni has perhaps the best good/bad TV show ratio of the industry. Only 2 of their series are objectively mediocre, but not bad.

>>150343066
b8

>>150343151
Is that a fact? Obviously I disagree.

>>150343151
Clannad 1 and Phantom World are pretty bad.
K-on1 is mediocre I'd say, too close to the generic 4koma structure of the original.
Don't know about KnK.

It's my favourite Kyoani anime.

I think it gets a lot of shit because Kyoani fans dislike it because it's not cute girls trash like the majority of their other stuff. I enjoy how relaxed and mundane it is compared to other shows and I loved the style and characters.

Fuck that final episode bait and switch though.

>>150333462
>Both of them doesn't give a fuck about the world until something catches their attention
Not even Hikigaya's character. He is very literally your "deep misunderstood teenager who just wants to be loved" type MC in a show dressed up in fairly unique premise that the series drops halfway through S1 anyway.
