Just finished this. >only meaningful/interesting arc is the

As a fervent kyoani fag I can tell you that the characters are indeed very weak, Satoshi is the only interesting one and that's towards the end. Having said that, I loved the mysteries and everything else.

The "talent vs hard work" theme gets thrown around a lot in anime, but I thought Hyouka did a good job addressing it.
Oreki being changed (or at least carried along) by Chitanda and the literature club as a whole is an interesting overall arc. Case in point, Oreki at the beginning of the series never would have confronted Satoshi as aggressively over the Valentine's chocolate as he did.

I thought the movie mystery was interesting, but overall they're not really the point, so I'm willing to overlook how weak they feel.

I'm not going to call you a faggot for not liking it, but that's why I enjoyed it.
