Was Hyouka a masterpiece?
No.
In the visual department perhaps.
someone post the pasta
It's because you chose to not engage with the show that you claim the writing is bad and can't even bring to mind all the visual storytelling that goes on at every frame. Hyouka is a production that undercuts a dialectic between the theatrical and mundane. The main thematic motif of the show is an Evangelion-esque study of relationships and empathy depicting subjective experience above all else, perhaps the reason for the Bach music parallel. It uses abstract Shinbo-esque colors, paper cutouts, experimental angle shots, spatial layout designs, meticulous character acting and long lasting continuity of quirks to establish consistence of performance, framing motion specifically tied to the edge of the frame and BGs to elucidate its fullness of vision of space. One shot of Mayaka's bedroom had more visual storytelling and characterization than the entirety of the Kenono Friends series.

Easily.
Literally poor's man Haruhi.

A masterpiece at making people sleep
Mastered the art of making me fall asleep, which is something not a lot of shows manage to do. And I watch a lot of quote on quote drama and SoL. What usually puts me to sleep are really bad action shows but somehow Hyouka managed to do so as well.

Just like this thread.
>>156199660
No.
The disconnect between Hyouka's grandiose, self important presentation and the inanity of what is depicted is what makes the product feel even more amateurish and juvenile.
Slapping a classical score and fancy camera work on a shitty romcom just comes off as a desperate move to try to persuade the audience that they're watching something deep and meaningful.
Unless Kyoani were really convinced they were making High Art, in which case the whole deal it's just pathetic.
If it went for a more low key approach or for a playful tone like Tatami Galaxy it could have been watchable.
The visual presentation being an expression of the character's worldview isn't an excuse when there's no intermediary between the character and the viewer, when the director doesn't distance himself and takes a stance regarding the character setting a specific tone to the narration.
The depiction of the internal world of a stupid person without filters can only result in a stupid product.
The problem with Hyouka is that it tries to do both and the result feels inconsistent and unsophisticated. One minute it's grounded in reality and uses mundane objects as symbols, the next it's Bakemonogatari. The unwillingness to commit to either makes the most abstract attempts stick out like a sore thumbs, like an attempt to glamorize otherwise dull material.
And that's without mentioning the characters, laughable caricatures that feel like what a mediocre middle aged writer that has long forgotten his youth would imagine teenagers are like, and the dreadful, unnatural dialogue.

Is Oreki narcoleptic?
It's the best anime Kyoani ever worked on.
>>156203040
Isn't narcolepsy when you fall asleep randomly?
Oreki just needs to take his vitamins.Or his meds.

Finally someone who isn't retarded.Clannad still sucked though. bump it down
>>156201641
It's not. I have no idea why there's a ton of shit-flinging over Hyouka all of a sudden.
I thought it had awkward dialogue and could have been more engaging in parts but had good character development and excellent production and direction. Solid but not "masterpiece" (the only KyoAni show that can argued to be that is K-On).
