Here is yet another review for an anime i have watched and enjoyed. I hope people appreciate the fact that most of the time it is hard to write a review on shows that are usually bursting with small pieces of information to write about.. I could easily do so but i would rather write about the general aspects of a show to entice other people to actively watch it than simply read about everything that happens
Please enjoy and consider watching any anime i review, Thanks
Synopsis
At the request of his sister , Oreki Houtarou joins the classics club , a club dedicated to literature . It is on the brink of being disbanded and with the help of a few schoolmates they get it up in running again . However this club hardly focuses on many literary aspects , fellow club member Chitanda Eru starts it all off with a request to help her solve the mystery of Hyouka .
Genre 7
For the most part this is a soothing slice of life anime , but the main focus of it is mystery . They have concrete inciting stories that pull you in and try to solve them along with the group . This is no Sherlock Holmes though , the mysteries are pretty tame . I think maybe one mystery was a bit boring but they do not last very long seeing as this anime lasts 22 episodes . It is not a major factor but there is also a little bit of romance in between it all . There isn't much excitement, but keep in mind this is a slice of life , as for myself I enjoyed the mysteries .
Story 8
As I said the mysteries are a bit tame but they make sure to cover all grounds with what they use . They do not keep you worrying that you are missing some detail , they lay it out pretty smoothly . It all comes together quite cleverly in the end . Something else to admire is the growth of the characters , Oreki in particular. He starts out as a very dull person with no motivation , not willing to do anything he does not have to do . You see him grow as a person for the better though it is very gradual which seems a bit more realistic to me . As a whole , it is fun to watch these characters interact together and see them with all their quirks and big personalities . Though I would not go into this looking for a good romance , it falls short of that pretty harshly.
Detail 10
Once again I have chosen another production from Kyoto Animation . Their art is as always superb and beautiful to see , Hyouka being in my opinion one of their better pieces actually . I feel like I could just talk endlessly about how much I appreciate their style so I will keep this on point and short . They are known for making things cutesy and they do maintain that here as well but they do not slack on anything else either . The smallest things you do not even notice are done with care and made rather realistically .
Sound 9
Another trend I notice is I always enjoy the music selected for anything Kyoto Animation makes . The opening and ending at the beginning of the show are fun but the second half of the anime has such a clever OP and ED . As always , the background music is well placed and adds character to the scenes and this being a mystery you generally notice the music change to set the tone and mood of everything .
Addictiveness 7
This definitely is not something for everyone and even I could not watch it all so quickly . A few episodes here and there were a great pass for me . The most addictive part of it is once you start a new mystery you want to see it through to the end , just you get sucked into the story of it . Luckily it is pretty blatant when a story ends so you will not have to worry about accidentally starting a new one .
Over-All 8
I enjoyed how neatly and pretty everything was made , it is something I always enjoy . The mysteries although not very deep they have meaning and purpose and it is fun to see how it all plays out . If you want more out of your mysteries I would not recommend this . I enjoyed watching the characters and the relaxing yet intriguing feel of it all so if you want something to sit back and watch unfold at a slow and steady pace this would be the one for you .
Thank you for reading this review, It means a lot to me x
