I feel like the girl that came to get them at their club's room is the writter of the story and that she is merely trying to test the classic club with her piece.

They acted awfully, but it's funny because it's hard to see bad acting in an anime.


They acted like how 14-15 yo without much talent would, I think that portrayed quite well how amator movies that adolescents make on their own for fun look like.
Other than the basketball guy that was obviously nervous and the bad scream the rest of the movie clearly wasn't that bad for people their ages.

That episode felt really, really short to me for some reason. So much that I watched it twice just to make I didn't miss anything. The whole episode was pretty much set up to the next. Oh well, I hope that means the mystery will be good and interesting next episode.

Episode was plain. The voicing even if its an amateur filming just sucked hard. I couldn't stand listening to them screaming there voices louder than they should have when talking on film. The film IMO was a waste of 5-7 minutes.


They do this for comedy effect.It also seems more realistic because the actors are amateurs.If the filming quality is as good as the anime,hyouka itself,I think it will feel like sb is recalling his or her memory but not acting.

NO!!! Damn you two parters! >_> Now i have to wait til next week. Seriously, couldn't they have at least picked a better cliff hanger to leave it on? I feel like this episode dragged on a bit more than it needed to. Also, this episode lacks more Chitanda and Oreki moments >=O!

Off-topic, Am i the only one that thinks Chitanda looks so much prettier with her hair tied back?

There's a word in spanish which reminds me of Chitanda in every single episode: Metiche (meddlesome).
Srsly, she drives me crazy sometimes. But everything else is okay I guess.

That black-haired senpai freaked me out, by the way o_O

This episode was just STUPID.

Their film was so stupid, actors have spoken too loud and they haven't expressed too much emotion. Very alternative film.

stupid.

Hyouka gets worse.
The author of the screenplay for the film has fainted. So what? Hasn't she woke up? Has she die or what!? NONSENSE! Irisu denied. So why they don't just go to her and ask her about the ending?

stupid stupid.

Chitanda and her eyes slowly begins to annoy me - it seems that I have great patience.

Only Houtarou "humph" when they showed tarot cards has made me laugh a little.

Half of me was expecting the ever cool Houtarou to save the day again but in the end my other half is glad that we 3 interesting newbie detectives to appear in the next episode, in addition to Fuyumi who set the stage. I'm not sure what Eba's role will be in this whole thing but her little conversation with Houtarou and co felt like it was full of clues to solve the mystery. Overall it was a nice introduction to the mystery. Hopefully it'll fold out as good.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

Kaitou isn't dead, maybe he wanted to make the trip rememberable, and supplied a fake limb, and some blood. then hid his arm in his shirt.

also, there is something going on, everyone of those guys tried to get something out of houtaru, it is therefore obvious to me that they were told something about him going in.

I believe his sister was also responsible for getting Iris to enlist the help of the classics club.

I also believe that something bad happened to the scriptwriter.... perhaps something unmentionable... after all, why do they seemingly not dish out information on her? she isn't Sick, she's therefore either DEAD, or Gone, Coma?

Anyways, there is more than meets the eye and if you concentrate and go back and look at the last couple episodes, you'll start to see things you didn't before... if you think there is something there to see, if your paranoid enough to think there is something there, like I was going into them.

how do you make a good series great? subtle foreshadowing.

Yeah i was laughing so much on the fact that they portrayed the bad acting by complete amateurs.

As about the murderer. I'll just go with the silent black hair girl since she pointed at the house and she seemed to know quite a lot about it. She went alone when they split and showed complete lack of surprise at the murder scene(that could be because of being bored of the movie but anyway). Probably there's a reason behind the keys and blueprint of the mansion and stuff but am do bored to seat and decipher the blueprint. It did seemed that the room might be connected to another there at the end though.

The one writing the story seems to be a mystery too. If she is so diligent as her friend said then what kind of sickness does she have that would stop her or make her unavailable to even tell them the killer. It seems more like she's unwilling to continue but why?

That was the point. To show that this are schoolkids that know nothing about acting convincingly. A little like the acting in porn movies that have some supposed plot.

LMAO when the girl screamed when she saw the dead body xD the whole film was so bad, but it was one of those 'so bad its funny' I like the whole 'whodunnit' thing so I think this will be a nice little arc...

Also the three detectives at the end look interesting, specially the girl. Loving the anime though, growing on me so hard!

Wow, animation really improved for this episode. I mean, they took so much effort to make it look like a Blair Witch type movie.

Anyhow, I wonder what sorta sickness the author of the mystery movie has... and why they didn't do an outline of the plot before they started, if not doing the whole script before they even started filiming, I mean, I guess even in professional movies they re-write the script sometimes during production but isn't the norm to finish a first draft at least? So you can schedule the photo shoots according to scenes, you first gotta have all the scenes and locations!

Well, whatever, it was interesting and I'm looking forwards to more... have no idea who did it...

So many names and facts unrelated to each other and also the new characters, which stands for tar Irisu now, seen the mysterious interview at the beginning of episode. The movie club was really pitiful, I'd like to know who is the goat who has directed such great trash! XD Technically it is fabulous, only the main characters would need more space to make note of their growth. The case, however, is more complicated and there is also more space in the narrative to show the school!

I'm gonna have to change my outlook on the show. If I don't think of it as a slice of life then it's going just fine.

This mystery was better than the last two. My interest is back up so let's hope it stays there.

Oh, the Classic Literature Club are going to be the "observants" to find out the unfinished film script, oh this is going to be interesting. Can't say no to Chitanda when something comes up XD. Irisu is pretty though.

I don't know why I laughed when the movie is badly acted, even the murder scene where their voice were faked XD.

Mmm, it's an interresting setting. Though that movie was fucking shitty xD
Dat acting :O

Poor Houtarou, always doing things he doesn't want. But he end up having a bit of fun so I guess it's winner-winner :P

I have no idea who the killer is, but I'm sure it have a link with the master key they left behind.

Man Irisu sounded SO familiar ... she was in so many things no wonder! Code Geass, Amagami, IS ... woah O_O
Anyway, so yeah, that movie ... well, I suppose you can't expect too much from high school students eh XD So the original writer got sick before finishing the script and the Classics Club has to try and figure out who the criminal is eh? This should be interesting ... a little dull, but I guess it was mostly set-up for next episode :P Maybe Irisu has a plan for this? The three members of 2-F look interesting XD

This show definitely has it's ups and downs.... and this was one of the downs.

Overall uninteresting episode, but not quite "bad".

You know, I really wish that during these mystery adventures there is quite a bit more character development. It's romance, more emotional exploration, or something. Way too vanilla of an episode.

Ah, going with a semi-cliffhanger now, huh?

Hmm, Irisu-senpai... I was wondering when someone with sapphire eyes would show up.

Since the 1st 2 episodes, I noticed each character had a distinguishing eye color that really stands out in the usually watered down scenery, especially when Eru becomes curious. Her eyes are of course amethyst, Houtarou's are emerald, Satoshi's are amber, & Mayaka's are ruby.

Actually Hyouka has done an amazing job at portraying how these high school productions usually are. They even included the, shaky cam, actor-that-sucks-at-emotions, and overacting-fanatic.
