Hyouka is another in a long line of Kyoto Animation shows that is impeccably animated, and reflects a certain storytelling sensibility that I always have to adjust to. It's a slice of series wherein nothing much happens. There's a school club that meets after school everyday and we spend time han...

If you'd rather listen to this review over reading it, theres a video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXZuZBC7fc Hyouka is a 2012 anime by Kyoto animation, it's a school slice of life (WHAT OMG SO ORIGINAL KYOANI HOW U DO DIS MIND=BLOWN) but in all seriousness this show is actually...

When my friend asked me what genre Hyouka was, it was a bit difficult to answer at first. I ended up telling him it was mystery, but it really is so much more than that. Hyouka is a story about how four friends who, upon entering high school, join the Classics Club and undergo a series of adventu...

Review for Hyouka (Hyōka) =============================== The first anime that has recieved a full 10 / 10 from me and in my opinion truly deserves it. "I don't do anything, I don't have to do, What I have to do, I do quickly" The motto in which our main character lives by. This is probably the f...

For anyone planning to watch this who are college and above, Hyouka brings a sense of nostalgia to high school life. Obviously, this has been created with the Japanese high school and culture setting in mind. Yet, it does cover universal themes which I believe happen in just about any high school...

I've always wanted to see a great anime with alot mystery. Something that would keep my brain thinking and puzzling over things. Well Hyouka did not disappoint. The fact that they solved little or big mysteries without involving something serious was amazing. When an episode ended I would I alway...

When it comes to Kyoto Animation, I just get super excited because I love the other shows I've seen them do. So you can imagine my sadness when Hyouka failed to invoke that same love. The story: 6/10 I don't mind the mystery genre, but the way Hyouka chained the characters to their high school re...

Hyouka: One of the animes that made me like almost every bit of it! If you're reading this and haven't watched the show yet, this will somehow show you that the show is really a MUST-SEE!! If you're reading this and have already watched the show, I'll appreciate a comment :) I have conventionally...

I know it seems lame to give something 10's across the board, but Hyouka left that kind of feeling with me. The anime summary was a deterrent for me at first as it makes it seem as though the entire anime is set with the one goal in mind. This only lasted a few episodes in though. If you enjoyed ...

When this anime first came out, I didn't give it a second glance, to be honest. I read the synopsis - didn't find it interesting at all. Then, about a month later, I started seeing gifs of it (of Oreki), then I said: "He seems like an interesting character, okay, why don't I give it a chance."; t...

I usually get involved with series when i like the music, and even when the big part of it is not original, it still fits perfectly. You can read a synopsis and think "this is just another school's day anime", and even when that's true, it is not. Why is true? Because it's the story of four young...

Mystery, romance and drama in a mature anime? Hyouka is one of the most aggressively pleasant and enjoyable "grown up" animes I've had the pleasure of watching. It's not profound, it doesn't take itself too seriously; it's just smart enough and wholly enjoyable. The episodes are fun to watch and ...

Reviewing another KyoAni series....*sigh* This better be good. What am I talking about?! This is a great KyoAni series. One of their best series to date. This anime is basically "Sherlock Homes: High School Version". [Story]: (9/10) Oreki Hotaro is a high school boy, who always acts passively. On...

This show was great! If you or anyone you know is a fan of mystery or slice of life shows, this is a great show to watch. Story - 8/10 The story focuses around four characters in an afterschool club, called the Classics Club. Small mysteries pop up in their club activites and they all set out to ...

A fictional, supernatural mystery can be exciting and thrilling, but what about the ones that may occur in our daily lives? Hyouka decides to take a spin on the general mystery anime by having our main cast go through more minor mysteries, that sprout from simple questions. This creates a complet...

Hyouka is such a wonderful show, it's absolutely full of charm and a really fun watch. I loved just about every aspect of it from the dialogue to the animation to every mystery they tackled. It never feels like it's forcing anything plot-wise and the characters are all so realistic and lovable it...

They sure don't make anime like this anymore! It actually took me a couple of episodes to notice why I was so in awe of what I was looking at, and it amazes me how so many reviews here completely miss it: The production values are simply through the roof! Every background is a work of art. The de...

All right, look, the animation is amazing. I love watching Hyouka AMVs because they make it LOOK like it's a great show ... but it isn't. I saw all the glowing reviews so I tried it and had to give up 9 episodes in because the story was so half-assed and boring. Then I saw some AMVs and they made...

Everyone loves a good underdog story, a story about some gritty protagonist who overcomes their disadvantages to climb to the top through a combination of superhuman effort and sheer force of will. "Hyouka" is not one of those stories. It's the opposite: a celebration of the sort of genius that b...

Seeing as how this is my first review, I'd like to welcome feedback from anyone who would want to give some. Hyouka is somewhat unique story that follows Houtarou Oreki throughout his very average day-to-day life. He's a simple guy who more than anything hates to waste energy if it's not absolute...
