Review of Hyouka

A very beautiful anime and one of my personal favorites. Subjectively speaking I consider it a very well-made anime characterized by a deep story and well-detailed characters. It is obviously not an action anime and it mostly deals with different aspects of Japanese culture, the story is surrounded by various mysteries that Oreki Houtaru must solve because he is spurred on by Chitanda Eru (or rather because he is initially annoyed by her curiosity). The beauty of the story is that it manages to go on building characters with truly extraordinary care. Both the secondary and the main characters are kept in the spotlight and areevolved in an exceptional way.
Besides being in love with the story and the drawings that have a unique charm, I also fell in love with the soundtrack that uses pieces of classical music to be able to build peaceful atmospheres worthy of a moving poem. The settings are very immersive and I have to congratulate the way in which the relationship between Oreki and Chitanda was managed.
We already know that the two are practically in love with each other, but the best part is that the anime does not become trivial, trying to force an unnecessary romantic plot.
The relationship between Satoshi and Oreki is one of the most interesting. Satoshi is one who knows so many things. He considers himself a living archive. He has different notions of different types and he is also fun, lively and loves to socialize. In short, he is the exact opposite of Oreki. Yet he is jealous of Oreki. Of course, he knows a lot of things but he can't reason like Oreki. He can't understand him. He can't emulate him. Oreki, who is always alone, who is always silent, who never socializes, who does not like to study and who is not a lively type, is able to reveal the most complicated mysteries only with the use of simple reasoning, logic .
Chitanda Eru is a lively girl, very curious, who loves to know things and loves to solve the darkest mysteries. But looking at her from the outside, she looks like the perfect girl. She is a beautiful girl, with a well-formed body, with the highest grades in school and with a very rich family. Already the series makes us understand that she is very good at socializing, has many friends and knows how to make herself loved. And yet, from episode two, we understand that she doesn't consider herself perfect. Indeed, she does not even believe she is particularly intelligent. Why? Because, as she herself says, she is very good at learning things and studying them, but what she wants is to discover the origin of ideas. The origin of thought.

From the beginning of the series, Satoshi and Ibara, treat Oreki as a lazy boy who doesn't want to do anything and who is boring but then they come to respect him more and more for what he is, but it's not that they begin to consider him a god who came down to earth.
This is an aspect that I found very beautiful. In many similar anime the protagonist is treated as a loser who suddenly turns out to be cool and then at that point all the girls in the universe gravitate around him. I'm glad this didn't happen with Oreki, making him look like a boy like many others. He's not a perfect boy, but there is no denying that he's special.
I advise you to look at Hyouka, if you have never done it before, you might like it just like me , I can guarantee you that Hyouka is an anime that must be seen at least once in a lifetime.
