Review of Hyouka
Maybe this anime will not transfer you in to the romantic atmosphere where music and romance merge into one without words, as this year's Anime Kids on the Slope, but will definitely make you smile. Only body language and atmosphere worth a lot. Sarcastic jokes made me positive all the time. Art not only nice, but just cinematographic! Yes, not all the stories were very interesting, but for the atmosphere, feelings and characters - highest rating. In a few words: charming, juicy, slow and rich series. When I heard in background slowly passing Sebastian Bach (Air on the G-string), and a stunning scene in front ofmy eyes, as if went back to Mushishi, I felt that something was trying to go under my skin. This combination with classical masterpieces was fantastic, probably the most beautiful anime of 2012. Anime about everyday life with a detective + mistery spices, and who could think that this work can win some of the audience's hearts.
If Oreki - sleep, laziness, apathy, so the first and true friend Chitanda - movement, fire, passion, curiosity, eternal engine, bursting enthusiasm, flaming projectile. Unbelievable how it was displayed during the show. And our character Chitanda even did not noticed how magical and enchanting powers her ayes are. As a couple, they will surely suit each other, balancing on a tight string and completing each other.
Theres no end to talk about the details and what is behind them and only blind can not see that this is what lies behind them - absolutely fine. They're graceful, precise and charming, like a Swiss watch. There's only one problem - the clock do not work. Those details - only the tools, but their performance should not only admire, but they have to serve something and be a part of something else. But here details - independently of each other and the story tells us as we should take it by our own.
I heard a lot of comparisons. Yes, this anime have something similar to K-on, because of almost the same voice actors tram and character design, but thats it! K-on fan-service and empty, but Hyouka have characters, atmosphere and some original flow. The only anime with which I could compare - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
- Goodbye, peaceful days of energy conservation...
- May I spend this year living a perfect low-energy life!
- I dont want to see what happens if Ibara finds out her chocolate was stolen. Im not a fan of horror stories.
- My low-energy lifestyle is in mortal danger.
