| I am aware that, just like with any other show, there will always be people who won't like it, no matter how wonderful it may be for others. This show appears to have been created with a specific audience in mind, and thus not everyone will be able to appreciate it. As someone who looks up this anime, nothing is more annoying than seeing someone who is likely unable to comprehend the plot, can hardly even digest it, and then proceeds to mock it. (Without a proper critique) they act as if they have superior taste, when in fact they simply lack attention span. (I'm not generalizing anyone who doesn't like this anime, just those who I described.) due to a bunch of normies who mistakenly believed this anime was a romance-core and ended up finding the story boring. I can't help but wish this anime never got as popular than neccesary. (Apparently, there will always be trolls who mock any show that can be considered overrated.) I advise any people who have this anime on their list to not mistook it as romance. I swear, it won't satisfy you. |

| most of the LN adaptations are better in the forms of book imo. Hyouka anime was a great adaptation but it's better as a novel |

| Indeed some shows are highly esoteric and only aimed towards those who can process their minds while watching |
| If you want to reply to my posts, come up with valid arguments instead of ad hominem HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS ONLY |
| It's still boring, though. Almost falling asleep during rewatch. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |

Oremonogatari said: Implications do exist, surprisingly. You said the show is made with a certain audience in mind, but isn’t that most shows? You attributed the dislike of this show to their short attention span. You called them normies. By attributing negative characteristics to the people who dislike the show, you remove the possibility of those characteristics to those who do enjoy it, like yourself. It pains me to see a good series with such a pretentious fan stinking it up. Didn't I say I'm not referring to everyone, just those who I describe? Besides, those types of people can be annoying not only in particular series but also in all anime in general. |
Oremonogatari said: It pains me to see a good series with such a pretentious fan stinking it up. A lot of what you said is pointless anyway, as such is the case with pretty much any series. by time many people said the series is boring, its already been degraded. its not like i can do anything about it. |

Besides, those types of people can be annoying not only in particular series but also in all anime in general. If you mentioned the proportions of those people in a given audience compared to Hyouka’s, it’d be useful, but you did not. Besides, you’d be hard pressed to find actual data proving your argument. Oh well though. It's not like I'm writing a research paper to present statistical data, lol. Actually, I wouldn't post it in this forum if I was just assuming things up. Obviously, many people who find this boring are just like those I described, and there are many of them. How can I say? because it's obvious. especially that one time I saw a meme degrading this series with 10k+ reactions, and the comments really did fit on the description I made about them. if you find this post as useless, then go ahead.You'd be surprised at how many useless things you can find on the internet. Besides, this post was not an argument to prove a point. I'm just trying to inform people who are planning to watch it. |

| I went in actually thinking it was going to be supernatural/suspense based. Especially after the gorgeous visuals in episode 1 (IMPORTANT NOTE: I try to go into shows knowing as little as possible because I think not knowing what you’re getting yourself into is more fun, so I knew nothing about this show other than it being Kyoto) I think the main problems for me though were the animation and the story/pacing. The animation was fine but I admit I got my hopes up after figuring out it was Kyoto and after the first episode. It really felt like they used the whole budget on episode 1 and the end of the last episode and were just trying to scrape by for the rest. The story really has that “villain of the week” Disney channel or Cartoon Network feel and it took me 20 episodes to realize that I’m not the target audience because that’s not my thing. I also found the main girl absolutely unbearable but I can’t blame the character because I watched it in English so maybe her Japanese was easier to deal with? If you bothered to read this I’ll conclude with: I gave the show a 3 or 4 I think because I really didn’t like it, but I also totally get it’s just because the show wasn’t made for me and my preferences are elsewhere. Thus concludes this rant and review lol |
| Why would any of us care? Anytime I see some dumbfuck talking crap about it I ask them kindly to go fuck themselves. I'm not responsible for people's stupid braindead mindset for not understanding Hyouka's greatness. |

3piXJ4y said: That's my take, but may I ask if there is there a peculiar incentive for this post? If it's just a rant, then I don't see much reason for this. I see lots of posts pointing out their great dislike for this show and how dull it was. (Again, I'm not referring to anyone who didn't like the series, just those specific people mentioned.) In fact, if you look back on the past forum posts on this series, you'll see one as well. So I figured I'd do the same, in order to refute it. I just feel like it's important to emphasize that this show isn't something that everyone will enjoy. Actually, some people making fun of this show isn't that of a big deal for me. (I've seen a lot of it for the past years ever since I watched it) It only annoys me, but I won't go as far from that. (I'm not that of a die-hard fan) But I just thought it needed to be here at the very least. So, yes, it could be a rant while also informing future audiences about the anime. |

| Ignore other people their opinions... Like what you like and hate what you hate... Don't try finding confirmation from other people (especially strangers on a forum or social media) because you're going to have a bad time. |
| Well you got that right. This really was only meant for a particular audience in mind, rather than trying to please as many as possible. Because damn, it was quite boring. Mad respect to those who did enjoy it though. They must be of a superior species with high IQ and long attention spans. |

| It's objectively a decent show. School setting must be relatable and loved, unless you only go to school to get bullied because you're a nerd. Little bit of romance between handsome and beautiful characters is romantic, unless you're ugly and never have a bf/gf. Looks good feels good, easy on the eyes, unless you only watch edgy anime to compensate your goofy ahh personality. Always have mystery to solve is exciting, unless you only have 2 digits IQ and can only watch action genre. Tl;dr don't blame a decent show, blame your parents to give birth to you. |
