Well it depends, the anime is mostly about solving different mysteries and it’s kinda a slice of life. So if you enjoy that kind of stuff then you should watch it.

One of my favorite shows! I do think that it’s worth it to keep going. It might seem redundant at first but trust me, there are so many layers to it, it’s awesome.

it's about the protagonist changing his life by joining a club and solving mysteries, the starting May feel slow but it's worth watching

Yes, it's probably one of the best anime from KyoAni.

it all depends on how much money it made in japan
also its about nothing, it really is about people walking around finding daily life mysterious and worth exploring
sort of feels like detective mystery show but its not

They solve mysteries that no one cares about in their school club. It bored me to death and by the time I dropped it I made up my mind to give up on anime for a few months. And that's just what I did in favor of a couple of novels.

Hyouka is basically a super slice of Life, the anime is about the 4 four friends and what they do in the literature club, the mysteries are no big deal at all, but is kinda cool

if you like slice of Life, is worth to watch

Very slow, chill and purely slice of life show. I suggest occasionally watching an episode or two instead of a binge through.

for these types of anime "if you have to ask if it's worth, then it probably isn't"

in other words, it's good. but only when compared to other anime in its own genre (which is the only correct form of comparison) but if you go beyond the genre you can find much better stuff.
so watch it if you like the genre and don't if you don't :)

Yes it’s pretty amazing seeing realistic observations skills coming into play. And how he tries to solve everything quickly just so he can have time to be lazy XD His motto is “I don’t want to do anything and if I have to then I’ll do it ASAP”

If you have a mystery fetish with schoolgirl fetish with light hearted rom com fetish then it's the perfect anime to binge on a rainy Sunday evening with some snacks ofcourse.

I really, really enjoyed it. The first mystery was my least favourite. I think the second mystery is about the one about how the school-made horror film was going to be finished. If you watch that far and still don’t like it I’d drop it. Otherwise I’d watch a bit more.

if you are patience, then watch it. try cooking eggs with charcoal, the taste outcome will be depending on your cooking skill which is irrelevant to my advise.

Honestly its not even a question. I truly think it is one of KyoAni's best works, despite seeming like a cutesy show about a stoic/lazy dude solving mysteries with a cute girl on the surface.

I think it has genius subtextual refencing from episode to episode, with clever camera shots and shrewd, yet appropriate dialogue to really emphasize on this. There are hidden/implied meanings scattered all over various episodes that eventually weave and intertwine to generate a sub-narrative of sorts, which provides a genuine insight to the personalities of certain characters, their idealogies and their deeper thoughts, especially in the MC - all of this in the midst of a larger, probably even more captivating narrative about solving mysteries, using calculated detective techniques and deduction skills within a school.


Long story short, just watch the fucking show.

if its not up your alley, feel free to drop it.

Took me some time to get into it. Started watching it, got bored, left it for a few weeks then tried again and finished it.

I think it is worth it. The animation is stunning, the MC is relatable and yeah the mysteries are the core of it and you just gotta follow it.

It does seem super random and that makes its difficult to grasp what the story is about.

It's interesting and the aesthetic is rather soothing. Chill but still curious.

If you're not into mysteries then I'd say watch it with patience

It's really enjoyable at the moment but I'll be lying if I said I remember any of it. I don't. What I recall is a relaxing and comfortable feeling when watching this anime.

It would help if you included your likes and dislikes, or at least what you are looking for. As you can see that lots of people like it and a few dislike it.

it's definitely worth watching, but if you don't like the premise then it might not be for you

Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you.

I suggest you keep watching; "Hyouka" is unique and well worth a 2nd season, if enough material. I started reading the light novel (for more details) after finishing the anime.

Personally, I really disliked this show and wouldn't recommend it.

The show is extremely slow paced and there isn't much show until the end of the show. The characters are blander than wheat bread and have no defining traits other than the one girl has an annoying catchphrase repeated 1772 times per episode. The dialog is extremely unnatural and the „conflicts" aren't even trivial. Frankly, the only things this show has are the fact it's a KyotoAni work and its beautiful art.

Yes. It's probably one of the best work of KyoAni. If you like mysteries and if you want a chill show to watch then you should definitely give it a try.
