Review of Hyouka

I'm warning now there may be slight spoilers ahead. Hyouka is an anime I started watching because of the art. It is unique in its style and simply put adorable. The animation is an eyecandy most of the time. The sound went well with the atmosphere of the anime and the soundtrack fit in excellently. Personally some OSTs it would make me smile and thats a great bonus for someone who likes their shows to be driven by both the characters, plot but also the soundtrack. As for characters I love how eccentic yet normal they are. Take our main duo, Oreki who lives on the basisof conserving his energy reservoir and whom I felt reflected a part of my personality, thus I was both annoyed and attracted to this character, and Chitanda who comes from a well off family and showed a diversity of traits ranging from her curiosity, probably due to her strict lifestyle it might have been fueled to soar when family matters are not involved, her responsible side is also evident from the cases involving her family. Most of all its a lovely blooming relationship between these two, it is obvious what their feelings are for each other by the end but that i will leave up to you to conclude on your own. Satoshi and Mayaka are both interesting in their pattern of thought and their relationship with one another just like Oreki and Chitanda are. Satoshi is a self proclaimed human database who has given up and also has to yet give up being something more while Mayaka is a passionate girl in what she does and her love for Satoshi who is scared to obsess about her will get them in a pinch at one point. Satashi himself has said a 'database cannot derive a conclusion'.

I personally enjoyed the series and the characters being a patient yet curious soul. I found it quite interesting. You should also know that the anime is set in arcs probably following the novels, its starts out with introducing the characters followed by the Jun Sekitani arc, Independent film arc, kanya festival arc, english teacher episode, Valentine day episode, and the Doll episode (named by myself and possibly i might have mixed the order). Its a nice watch for someone who feels like something that won't take too much of your strenght to follow which is why I loved it in both its simplicity and sort of not hard to follow but sentimental dialogue.
