Review of Hyouka

Hyouka is basically a detective's story, but instead of real detectives, the "detectives" are high school students. Characters: Hotaro: 9/10 I mean it's great and all that Hotaro has brilliant deduction skills, but he can come up with a theory for almost everything. It's almost like he should be the Classic's Club's president instead. Eru: 0/10 Eru is cute and all but she's a poor example of a club president. First off, she's always trying to have Hotaro solve all the cases. She keeps saying "I'm curious" without getting shit on her hands, relying on Hotaro all the time. Satoshi: 5/10 Satoshi has a great sense ofhumor, but sometimes it gets a little too overboard.

Mayaka: 10/10
The perfect example of a critic and friend, and the ONLY one who actually tries to be romantic herself.

Sound: 0/0
I didn't really care for the music.

Art: 0/0
Didn't care.

Story: 4/10
The last episode was rather pathetic. Instead of Hotaro attending a party for nothing, why don't the writers have him solve a extremely hard mystery that even the police have considered a "cold case." Oh wait. That'll make Hotaro OPed and it would lower his character rating I have for him to 0?!

Overall: 7/10
It was ok. The show involved solving mysterious that only a seinen mind can solve. But the fact that these mysterious only last for about an episode or two, really defeats the whole purpose of the show. I mean why not have all the previous mysterious connect into the final episode?

But I liked the show overall. I probably won't recommended you this show, but it is a good watch.
