| Loving this anime, the mistery was kinda predictable.. It could be something worse, but then they had to really call the teachers. About the volume they need, i bet it's at that small temple that Eru was looking at first episode. |
| f*ck.... another awesome episode |
| art still keeping this show alive for me... |
 |
| Yo, that was so sly blackmail haha, she call's oreki weird, in comes satshi dressed as a sunflower XD haha so funny, enjoy this got some of the plot which is nice. |

| Why did the smoker get so angry with hotaru? He was letting him off the hook (for smoking a cigarette, which I guess is terrifying in Japan). |
EOTW said: Why did the smoker get so angry with hotaru? He was letting him off the hook (for smoking a cigarette, which I guess is terrifying in Japan). He got caught, so he's more or less panic and frustrated, and Oreki's look rather... disrespectful, plus Oreki look as though he was threatening/scaring him into doing what he wants. (Which in a way is true) He ask for Oreki's name afterward. Which means the acknowledged Oreki as a capable person. Oreki added that he felt bad about what he did, basically trying to say "no hard feelings" and pretty much assure him that nothing will leak from him, and he wish to avoid any future repercussion. Again, it's pretty much him panicking over Oreki as a threat. |

| Sigh, Maybe I'm just spoiled with some great mystery animes, but I just keep expecting more. I like most of the characters, the setting is nice and even the Uncle thing could come out interesting. But I get the feeling that this anime is just going to keep falling short of greatness. Like it reaches for it, might brush a finger against it, then falls flat on it's face. I hope I'm wrong. |

 DAT EYES !!! |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| This series is a bit of a change for me, but I'm liking it so far. Now that the beginning of the plot is starting to fall into place, I'm highly anticipating Ep. 4. Oh and, wtb more of Chitanda's adorable glowing purple eyes. |
 |
| Smoking is really bad for a student especially if he belongs in a family with good reputation. Even yawning in public could be bad for them. Remember that Chitanda was there? Toogaito didn't want a Chitanda clan member to know that someone in his stature is doing something illegal inside school grounds. Also, wonder why an energy-saving person like Oreki does all these things with such enthusiasm? It's because he's doing it for Chitanda. Yay for potential romance~ :)) |

I would think he would be relived once Hotaru said to leave them in the room, but I guess he's afraid that Hotaru might blackmail him or maybe he feels disrespected by Hotaru. |
| I thought that guy was going to be doing some harder drugs than just tobacco. |
 |
| Why wasn't the senpai voiced by Daisuke Ono? That would have been awesome. Oh and I also thought he was hiding a girl in the room first xD |
| Houtarou's composure while solving the mystery at the old classic club room baffles me. Only a detective with the experience of Colombo can annoy a suspect that way. |
| I think its the return of Nagisa Father , Akio . They sounded exactly the same . Gawd, all the clannad cast are having a gathering . Note:Potential of romance -1 |

| If qaovxtazypdl said: http://imgur.com/a/EJY76 >Itoigawa Youko >Kouriyama Youko Cannot be a coincidence Got sense, and it happened 45 yrs ago, maybe she's a member that time. And if you remember the last episode, when Itoigawa return and Satoshi ask about the anthology of kotenbu she acted weird. |
| LOL |
| She's so goddam moe!! |
| No. |
| Loved Houtaro's reaction to Eru's suggestion. For energy saver like him searching the whole school must be worse than death. xD As for mystery, I guess that somebody died. But Eru's uncle was regarded as a hero so maybe not. But still whatever happened, it affected her uncle quite a lot. |
| No 'watashi kininari masu' in this ep :( thats what i like about the show the most XD BiddingGortonio said: 1lau said: Houtarou's composure while solving the mystery at the old classic club room baffles me.

zorapup said: Lmfao same here, that immediate change of heart haha. THE WHOLE SCHOOL!? This ain't a goddamn joke.My favorite part was probably when Oreki wanted to leave and Chitanda said "But otherwise we'll have to search through the entire school" Oreki: <oh F**k that!> "Give us the damn books now." I am just loving everything about this anime. The characters are all so great, especially Eru's extreme moeness and personality. This mystery is pretty interesting too, seems like something big happened back then. Wonder if she's going to tell the other two about this next episode, or does she want to leave it between just her and Houtarou for now. |

| Once again - the reason the smoking itself was so bad was because: Kid was part of a wealthy family. Said wealthy family is famous for Secondary Education. Said family is located in Japan. Said kid was smoking in a Classroom. Said classroom was on school grounds. Said event took place in the middle of the day. Something like this would be big for the family, and damage their reputation and business pretty badly. If it was pot, he would have gone to jail, and it would have been 10x worse, but either way, him being found out would have been a very bad thing for him and his family. |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| This was without a doubt my favorite episode. The coffe scene was great, Though I don't quite understand what the preschool eru was for, If someone can clarify what it symbolizes help me out, as all I could guess was it being Hotaru had to look out for her or something. The mystery. I wasn't thinking it would be anything much but I was pleasently surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. even though I caught on it was drug related, Hotaru sold this scene for me completely. Completely stoic as he broke down the third year mentally by simply catching onto his dirty little seceret... fu fu fu... everyone wants it to be pot. XD Throughout the scene I remembered a joke from 'The other guys' Movie and how one character thought the case was drug related. His partner reminded him "this isn't C.S.I. Miami, not everything is because of drugs!" or something along those lines. I'm pretty ok that it was tabacco though as its pretty realistic and like BRSxIgnition stated: he was from a family of well reknowned scholars. Maybe if he was a random chump it wouldn't matter, but we can assume that for screwing with the family reputation his ass would be torn up by his folk. Satoshi had me cracking up with the flower scene and I'm all the more interested in how the rest of this mystery will unfold. I expect a fun viewing experience here, even if it bombs later (which I hope it doesn't) I can still enjoy this eyegasmic artwork! 9/10! |

I'm glad someone point out about this in detail... -_-;; |

That part was so funny! Houtarou reminds me of a young Sherlock Holmes. He should be a detective when he grows up. The show's interesting so far. I'm still waiting for something BIG to happen. |

| I feel like some plot is finally brewing. Man, Eru sure is moe. Especially in a ponytail. |
| Will that mystery involving her uncle continue till the last episode or will this arc end soon? |
 |
| still a flat line anime, it really hasn't gone anywhere |
 |
traittrait said: . I hope soahmed_great2005 said: Will that mystery involving her uncle continue till the last episode or will this arc end soon? Mystery with her uncle ends in volume 1 of the original novel. So, it will end in, probably, episode 6. Well, trust me or not, but I remember someone said that vol.1 is less interesting compared to others. Will see. |
| Houtaro is one perceptive son of a bitch. He sees everything! He really blackmailed/manipulated that guy good. So they finally found the anthologies, but now the one they need (the first) is still missing! |
 |
| Thus "the niece of time". OK, Hyouka is off to a really, really good start after the first 3 episodes. That's really clever mystery mixed in with some of the best direction I have ever seen in an anime series. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Nice episode, though the mysteries and to easy to predict imo. Looking forward to more, just watching it for the quality of the animation is a fun thing to do. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This episode isn't bad. Venture to say that this is the best episode so far. It's going better, I guess. |
 |
| Talking about background music, does anyone knows what the name of the music that start playing at 21:26 when Oreki take the Anthology with Chitanda? XDD |
| this show is sooooo good ! don't know why but I have haruhi vibe from this my favorite this season now ! I think that Oreki's sister want him to solve some mystery for her XD |
