Hyouka

Most people don't like taking risks.

Why isn't Hyouka fucking licensed in the U.S. yet? Do they actually think people won't watch it, or is it Kadokawa being jews?

Now THIS is a great Hyouka bait thread. Really pushing past the typical "Hyouka is a masterpiece," "Hyouka is boring shit" cliches we've had in almost all Hyouka bait threads for years. Keep up the good work, /a/non.

I really thought that OP was too obvious to get these kinds of responses, but /a/ continues to surprise me with its gullibility.

Is there a good mystery anime?

That's ridiculous. Also, Valentine's Day ep is obviously the best ep of this show by a large margin.

I won't claim it's the most entertaining arc in anime, but it's easily the best portrayal of a school festival in anime.

>>152578075

The helicopter teacher episode was the best, followed by Valentine's Day.
Cultural Festival is objectively the best arc.

So fucking wrong.

The finale was a huge disappointment. Sure it had >muh visual metaphor, but it was still just an awkward mid-story end to the show, and most of the ep was inconsequential. The faux-confession scene was nice, but the rest of it had very little impact.

The helicopter episode was nice because it felt dramatic and almost had some stakes to it, like it had a little bit of teeth because the danger was real even if it was already in the past. It did a decent job of portraying how Oreki's opinion of himself had changed, and it was probably one of the best Oreki/Chitanda eps even though they're generally weaker characters. All that being said, it's just not as good as Valentine's. It makes some subtle statements about the characterization and has a nice little self-contained plot, but it doesn't do anything outstanding.

The Valentine's Day ep was the show's peak. It's the best execution of the show's central idea, which is to portray characterization through a mystery plot. That idea never works better than it does here. I would say that every element of it is better than every other ep of the show except for probably the visual variety, it's very static and sort of locked-in-a-room. The root of the genius of this episode is that it's presented exactly like a murder mystery, but instead of the crime being the taking of a life, it's pain being inflicted on Mayaka. The tension of a murder mystery is applied to a situation which in theory is much more mundane, and therefore the emotion in the episode is communicated far more effectively. The betrayal, the heartbreak, the years of tension. The way that Oreki describes Satoshi breaking apart the heart in the same way one would describe ruthlessly dismembering a corpse is the crowning jewel of the series.

The show is not some 10/10 masterpiece, and the idiots in Hyouka threads who think so are delusional. But the Valentine's Day ep was as close as it ever got.

If that's what you got from my post then you're actually retarded. I agree with the general point you're trying to make, though.

i like boring anime

hyouka was comfy and nicely paced and being mystery-based made for a more interesting world that exists outside of the characters

real good stuff to watch while dissociating

Seems like too much harem LN adaptations fucked up your cognitive functions.

Hyouka is a detective mystery show with a high budget. It is not art house or experimental.

Hyouka was literally a casual filter. If you didn't enjoy it, then you need to watch better anime.
