[Anime] Hyouka Discussion Thread

It's funny how coconut husk dude thinks him and satoshi are competing head to head, while satoshi's really competing with oreki.

also, ep 15 was great. love the character development.

Double irony since Oreki doesn't care about competing with Satoshi. This makes Satoshi seem like a jerk with his inferiority complex to Oreki and superiority complex to Coconut Hair.

You think Satoshi will beat Oreki to the mystery? Provided that you haven't read the novels/manga ofc.

Haven't read the LNs, but I don't think Satoshi will beat Oreki to the mystery.

Satoshi is such a shithead. He treats Coconut Head with contempt, but the moment Coconut Head gets info that he doesn't have, it's time to get all up in his face. And he starts depending on Oreki and causing trouble for him despite being able to do shit by himself. Hey Satoshi, maybe you'll catch the thief if you continue to do really obvious things that a dozen other people have already thought of doing. Fucking useless conclusion-making database. Chitanda continues at failing at doing things by herself, and Mayaka continues to be a miserable wreck.

this series doesn't stop at making vocaloids the villain

i agree being Satoshi a douchebag, still its funny that he went all that trouble while Oreki just sits there then come up a better idea than him

Chitanda's weirdly effective memory was demonstrated again, in the part where she compares a page from the manga to a cultural festival poster. I'm starting to think that oreki's sister is involved in this juumoji incident. Also curious on why chitanda thinks she met oreki's sister before.

I'm liking satoshi's and mayaka's character development.

Just thought maybe Chitanda met her before waaay back, and in this ep she vaguely remembered it.

Everyone is getting really tense/frustrated except Oreki. Everything Satoshi did has been worth nothing except bits of info which he lacks any insight to make use of. He looks a bit jealous of Oreki because Oreki hasn't done anything yet has a better grasp on the situation. Mayaka has turned out to be the bigger miracle in that she probably wants to beat the shit out of some manga society members and yet she hasn't even raised her voice or glared at anyone. Eru continues to be Eru and gets nervous too easily which leads to her mistakes.

Oreki continues to be the laziest person ever and keeps his cool at all times.

Wow, the Manga Society is full of complete bitches. If I was Mayaka I would've had to choke a bitch by this point. And damn, I know it's an anime, but all these high schoolers with their insane manga drawing skills is making me jelly. Makes me realize how hard I fail at art. Looking forward to next weeks episode. I'm guessing Oreki's sister is somehow involved in all of this.

Oreki just blew away Satoshi. Its amazing all that info just came to him and the entire Kanya festival he sat there. I think the Empress got 10 copies twice and sold them at half price and Oreki blackmails 30 of them. I feel bad for Satoshi because he put so much effort into it only to end up as part of Oreki's solution.

Its similar to how the artist to "A Corpse by Evening" was just doing it for fun and it turned out great and "Juumonji" put lots of effort into drawing but couldn't compare.

1000th post. Obligatory

No IB thread though.

And it turns out that everyone is angsty except for the Oreki siblings and the Student Council President. Sorry Lelouch, but your plans just got blown up by Schneizeleffort. And blackmail, too. Of course, Satoshi has to poke Chitanda into irritating Oreki at the very end... because he is a sad, grudge-holding, excuse-making bastard like that.

I thought they would solve it publicly to increase the sales, still everything went well than expected
