Review of Hyouka

"When you think "high school life", the word "rose-colored" comes to mind. And when you think "rose-colored" comes to life. Well its relatable to all of us right. Hyouka describe high school life as rose-colored and i really like the fact that they do that. It was enough for me to get hyoed about this show and it didn't disappoint me. I will talk about four things and i will talk about the first the story, character, animation, sounds amd than i will tell you it's negatives and positives from my experience. And a final verdict and i will also give you some alternative recommendationfor it. So without any delay lets jam into it.

Story:- The story was good I won't say its bad but story isn't the best thing about it. The main protagonist Oreki Houtarou is a type of person who conserve energy and tries to avoid doing things that he doesn't need to do. Well that's not the case anymore after he met a girl named Eru chitanda, a girl who gets curious about anything. By the request of his sister he joined the classic club and from there the story starts. After joining the club oreki's two friends also joins the club what happens after this you will see in the anime. Though the story is slow paced at the start but gets better later at the story.

Characters:- There are four major characters in this group first the main protagonist of the story Oreki Houtarou than the ever so curious Eru Chitanda and Oreki's two other friends being Fukube Satoshi and Ibara Mayaka. Characters and the character development are one of the better things of this show. I really love the characters and they are fun.

Animation:- Kyoto Animation did it's job here the visuals are awesome the animation overall is great and sometimes it left me speechless. Well you will expect this from Kyoto animation. Right?

Sounds:- Well when it comes to the sound they were overall great. I really like OP1 of this show and EDs too. I don't have anything other that this to say. Don't think that sounds are bad btw.

Positives:- I really liked everything about this show. Especially the characters (especially oreki and Chitanda lol) and the animation at first i felt a bit bored about it but than it became better. You will really enjoy this. The characters are awesome and the animation is spectacular. The characters are relatable too. You will really enjoy this. For those high schoolers you will be relatable with the characters and those of you want to enjoy a series without any supernatural things than this is good. The high school life here in this show is said to be rose-coloured and i really like this thing.

Negatives:- Hyouka is not for everyone. Maybe some people will think that the mysteries are not good, yeah true the mysteries doesn't include cri.es or something you think. Well everyone will not like the mundane mystery here but i like the way they present it more than the mysteries itself. The ending too im not saying that the ending is bad. It was good and satisfied. But it left me with a curiosity about what will happen later at story. The story and mysteries maybe something but the characters and how they represent the mysteries were more than enough to make up for it.

[u]Final Verdict:-[/u]
This anime may not be for anyone and from what i said here you should know now that if this anime is for you or not. I really like this show or i should say i love it. It just what it is. Since people has different tastes some people may not agree with me. No offend for those who thinks hyouka is just an ok anime. But if you would like to watch a calming series with beautiful animation and just enjoy the your time than please give it a shot. Its a shame that many people don't appreciate it. But this is a really great show.

For alternative recommendation : Watch "My teen romantic comedy" if you want a same type of character and a calming series or watch "Gosick" if you want a mystery.

So that's it guys you now should know if this anime for you or not. If you like this show and want to know more about the story and characters than i will recommend you to read the novel from the start i recommend everyone to read something from the start if you are reading a novel. But if you want to continue from where the anime left than start from Volume 5 of the novel. Hope it helped you and you liked it. Stay frosty.
