| Probably the first school festival that looks good...in other anime, these looked like shit :D |
 "The other side of the other side of the other side would be the other side" |
| Ugh i dunno why people say "nothing happened" and things like that. It's not like the ghost episode and the first 2 eps of the last arc were any better. Anyways i liked this one. It had lot's of funny moments and I'm actually curious (first time in this show lol) to see if they will sell all the copies or not. It doesn't really seem possible but oh well. Also the new ED is really awesome. |
 |
| new ed is so cute) and btw I don't think that this ep was boring or a "filler-like" :/ |
 |
| FINALLY CAUGHT UP! 2 episodes in a row. Wow this is the festival that is the most realistic of all the other ones I have seen. I was into it a lot. This episode essentially showed a lot of Eru MOE whom I loved of course. The most being the photo shoot. Eru my maid and Eru my cheerleader basically. About the new ED, I really like it. It shows a good parody of Sherlock Holmes being Eru and Watson being Ibara. Another thing is the following GIF,  (bigger size here) Not only does it show nicely Eru and Ibara with their expressions it also shows a foreshadow of the show. Perhaps as mundane it may sound but it would be by Satoshi and Houtarou. For what reasons? Not known but clearly Satoshi and Houtarou being shown as villains may imply they may become bad not as in anything serious of this show but one of them committing a real crime and some drama might get things going TBH. Surely I am thinking something is up with the ED other than being a parody itself. Might edit later but I might put in the club. So much shit to do in life. HOWEVER! I share my take of the ED in the spoiler |

I take it in manner of relationships - we already know Ibara is after Satoshi, and whether she realizes it or not it's obvious to me Eru is already into Houtarou. The scene in the gif is a 'joke' in which the girls are trying to 'catch' the guy they are interested in while the guys are trying their hardest to not get caught up in a relationship. I guess that's how I see this show as a whole. It's about the growing relationship between these two pairs - the school and the mysteries are just a vehicle for the main theme to ride on. Actually, your gif misses the most important part. Right before the two girls discover their prey has escaped they get this look in their eyes that communicates piles of romantic intent. Without that, your gif is missing the entire point. |

| Chitanda was so cute in this episode ^.^ Liked the Vocaloid cosplayers and the new ED is nice! |

Cratex said: Yeah, that's a good clear. However the mysteries really went out in the last episode.

Yumekichi11 said: Thanks! I'd appreciate it!If I have time to change it. Thanks for suggestion of this. |
|
| Chitanda got caught in all the joys of the festival.. just like how I'll be in two days.. COMIC CON!!!!!!! woot woot!!! |
| Nekomimi~ |
Cratex said: I just did but it still proves that the guys will not get caught in the girl's lust for them on your side while on my side well I took a little too serious, I will stick more on your version but it still does not deny a foreshadow of our boys becoming bad boys. Surely there is a insane amount of possibilities open. Yumekichi11 said: Thanks! I'd appreciate it!If I have time to change it. Thanks for suggestion of this. |
zeroryoko1974 said: I will concur with this. That is exactly I had in mind in the spoilerSwordWielder said: who was the other cosplay standing next to miku? the one looks like samurai with a sword. Nakaruru (sp?) from the Samarai Showdown (and I imagine KOF) games. It was well done. Same with the Vocaloids Also if I am correct they had all 3 vocaloids in there. |

| I like This episode very funny, Chitanda's curiousness just got an overload hehe |
| I love this episode too :D Simple but entertaining! New ED theme is so cute~ |
| Frol from They Were 11. I knew I've heard the name before. Definitely the most interesting character from the manga, but quite the obscure character to cosplay. As for the episode, I liked it, relatively. As I labeled this show as an average mystery and slice-of-life, this was an above average episode of the latter category. |
| All those complaints about the lack of action on the first page...forced me to facepalm. Seriously guys, if you want something filled with lots of action...don't watch schoolslice of life at all. Pick some mechashounen then. I liked this episode. Nope, i loved it with all my heart. Probably, this is one of the best episodes so far, and I hope there will be even greater ones. Why did I like it, even though it was a trivial school festival? Because, KyoAni (and all people involved in creating this particular episode) really coped with capturing this atmosphere of "bunkasai". It was almost like I attended that festival myself. As you know, you can find episodes focused on festivals almost in each school-themed anime, but, i doubt they are as picturesque and vivid as this one in Hyouka. Tsugi...Cosplaying Vocaloids... As a faithful fan of Miku, of course, I, simply, couldn't overlook those few frames with Miku and Co. I am always glad to see Miku, and hope she will appear sometime and somewhere as a main protagonist. And the finale - ending (or opening, who knows) was also brilliantly made. Now, what I really would like to see further is some romance between Houtarou and Chitanda, Mayaka and Satoshi. It's not like there is absolutely nothing happening between those couples right now, you can still notice some hints (or what? don't know the right word) that sparkle here and there, but I really would like to see more. |

| Nice Episode. Chitanda is so cute and getting caught up with all the festivities |
 |
| Loved the ED sequence! Ep was fun enough to not yawn. |
| I think Chitanda is doing a good job "unknowingly" spread their Hotenbu's name around. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I liked the episode. Some funny parts and Chitanda is very fast distracted lolz |
| Damn. I wish we had school festivals in Canada... Anyways, this episode felt extremely weird to me. It wasn't bad, it was just different. It was like it wasn't even Hyouka anymore - it felt very slice of life-ish. I usually hate moeblob characters but Chitanda IS pretty fucking cute. The ED is decent too, but I thought the first one was animated better. Oreki made me chuckle a bit too. But I don't get the point of showing this. Will there be a mystery next episode, or at least some PLOT? Oh, one thing that bothered me; Mayaka acted extremely out of character this episode. Even if she was sorry about ordering extra copies she was still really... awkward and shy. And she's usually not. |
| "Galaxy!!!" *breaks planet* "Aah, my Saturn!" Oh my god, my stomach hurts. I don't know how many times I replayed that part. xD Chitanda kept on getting sidetracked by everything on her way to and from the executive committee. Satoshi was nowhere no be seen either. Houtarou actually made an effort so smile when he sold his first anthology. What a sight! The customer even took his pen in exchange for a backstage pass. I wonder how that'll come into play. And the new ED is awesome. Both animation and music! |
 |
| I guess KyoAni turned up the slice of life for this episode. I really hope this arc is going to be Mayaka-centric. She seemed to be depressed the whole episode about the Hyouka copies and the Manga club. Oh, and what's up with the cosplay member talking behind her back like that? :o Mayaka in her cosplay costume: HNNNNNG! |

Onjouji said: goemondojo said: I think this show has been missing a proper ending, now it has one. this is a solid end sequence that the show has been needing. A proper ending? Hyouka is still airing, though. ;-; Curious about the pen, though. I believe he was referring to the new ED being a proper ED for the series. I personally loved the first one, for the words if nothing else. (Really, it wasn't for the Eru in lingerie... Honest!) However, the new one is very clever and makes the relationship dynamics in the show patently clear! (The girls are trying to solve the mystery of how to capture the guy's hearts. It is obvious to me that Eru already has, if the two of them would only act on it...) egoplant said: Worst episode yet. Nothing happens, and that's saying something for this anime. But is was such fun nothing! Really! I loved it! Not every episode has to be plot driven. This one was about character dynamics and Eru being too cute for words! PikachuXD said: So pretty much the only interesting part was the ending. This only covered like the first chapter of the third novel. Next episode looks like both chapters 2-3 will be covered. Thanks for the info! I really should read those sometime soon! :) Meg-nyan said: no real plot for the most part, but chitanda's little adventure was so cute. i wanted to see houtarou's sister's face! If I remember correctly, her face was shown in Episode 11.5, which is where she came back from her trip... (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... The resolution was so poor, I might have been mistaken...) Zhou said: amc9988 said: Nothing much happen this episode, and did anyone else watch ep 11.5? Chitanda's shiny eyes + boobies, Not a combo that Houtarou can say no lol Yup, she was hot, the horrible video quality ruined it, though. ^That! Cant wait for hi-res! :( CrimsonPhantom said: I guess KyoAni turned up the slice of life for this episode. I really hope this arc is going to be Mayaka-centric.

jiroupuun said: and the "Why didn't she asked EBA" is now gone. Wasn't it the name of the mystery show arc and an obvious reference to Agatha Christie's "Why didn't they ask Evans?" novel? It's time for a new arc, the festival one. It was a really nice episode with some laughs here and there, a really festive atmosphere and though I missed the opening (watching every time and loving it), the new ending is way better than the previous one. I mean the song was nice, but the half-naked girl was simply WTF, totally didn't fit. This one is fun, has bright colors and the WORLD'S MOST BORED-LOOKING VILLAIN EVER in it. I'm really curious (lol, a joke) whether the "corpse" in the next episode is going to be a real corpse or is it just a metaphor. I'd be fine either way. A real murder would definitely force a lot of emotions and development from the characters. |
 |
| Made my day! Good episode, lots of fun. Cosplaying Eru is so cute! Lol @ Vocaloid cosplay. Why Vocaloid? I haven't seen anyone cosplaying characters from other anime in anime, it's always Vocaloid. Whyyy? This scene made me laugh my ass off so hard :D. Oh, Satoshi, you never fail to make me smile. Haha, Oreki's so creepy here xD. Oh boy, I'm getting better and better at capturing useless shit and animu stuff. I should get a life. I thought the inserted song when Eru was scouted by Photography Club sounded familiar, and then I remembered I heard it in "From Up on Poppy Hill". I like new ED way more than the first one, it's really ingenious and charming. |
| Can't understand all the hate for this episode. This is what started the entire series; the Kanya Festival, which is what Chitanda's uncle was expelled for, the original Kanya incident, in the first place. And isn't their Hyouka anthology meant to be a summary of that entire chain of events? I understand it's moving away from the typical 'mystery' that the show revolves around, but it seems like it will follow the same formula how small details all entwine and solve the mystery/issue; in this case, how will they sell all the Hyouka copies. Simple guess, the pen leads to the winning badge at the fashion show, leads to Chitanda's photo shoot and general slacking/being distracted, leads to copies selling. |
| Fun episode, feel refreshed for whats to come. Wasn't a particularly interesting episode to say the least but it helped me get over my disappointment of the previous episode. New OP is nice, enjoyed the whole sherlock holmes theme |
 |
| This new ending <333 |
 |
| Oh lol @ this ep. Mayaka looked great in that outfit! And I laughed so hard at the new ending animation. Slicer22 said: After 2 seconds of watching it I closed the window and decided to wait for the BD. I can't remember seeing such bad video quality of an anime in a long time.Yea i couldnt take that video quality will have to wait for something better cause that 11.5 video was just abusive. Wordsmith said: You mean the ultimate trick to get people buy a BD/DVD?On a side note, just watched 11.5 .... I WANT THIS EPISODE IN GOOD QUALITY I mean, having to watch ERU IN A BIKINI IN BAD QUALITY, that's the ultimate trolling. bakuramariks said: I would have loved if my high school had such a tradition though, but I guess Dutch students aren't motivated enough; rather the opposite, but I'm not.I... I totally loved this episode. I felt like i'm in high school thought we don't have festivals as tradition o.O xD. shadowtsunami said: That's not necessarily the case, I've often seen that an opening is cut out and that the ending is just the new ending, especially mid-season. And taking at look at the MAL page already makes it clear. First eps are another story.Except for this is going to be an opening 2 and not an ending 2. If you noticed we didn't have an opening song. Usually when you see a new opening they put if at the end and then show it at the beginning |

Ajunky said: AH! The title was never translated, that makes much more sense however it still does not deny our boys becoming bad boys in the future at the very least as a plot thingy. Cratex said: I also think it's more something like that. Additionally to what you said, the song's title is "kimi ni matsuwaru", basically translated as "the mystery around you", which reinforces the idea of the girls being interested in these guys...Yumekichi11 said: Hmm. That's not how I take it. I take it in manner of relationships - we already know Ibara is after Satoshi, and whether she realizes it or not it's obvious to me Eru is already into Houtarou.

Surely I am thinking something is up with the ED other than being a parody itself. After all we saw last episode Houtarou defending himself rather well to the point of NOT BITCH SLAPPING IRISU. Instead the punched the poster. Cause he knows if he did he would have lawyers up his ass. But yeah that part was the first of Holmes stuff. From there one it could get more ugly. |
| @Yumekichi11 This show actually goes deeper than you think on the surface doesn't it? Also Houtarou has unexpected sides to his personality, as do the other characters. |
| Wow that was boring and Chitanda is an airhead. |
Ovindel said: And that's what I am afraid off. Let's hope Eru and Ibara actually do handcuff them before they do something stupid aka keep them in check from trouble. If Eru was there with Houtarou back in #11, things would not be that RAGING to him to say the least. @Yumekichi11 This show actually goes deeper than you think on the surface doesn't it? Also Houtarou has unexpected sides to his personality, as do the other characters. In fact I think Eru can pretty much whoop ass in serious mode in terms of speech. |
| Notice ! A cappella music club lost “Apple juice”. A case has already begun. |
| The only good things that happened this episode were me falling in love Mayaka and Satoshi's swag Saturn outfit. |
| DAT new arc -this will be interesting to see how it goes DAT new ending -SO MUCH AWESOME!!! the song is very nice, animation/story in it is very nice. and seeing them in those outfits were awesome, especially oreki and chitanda. DAT curiosity -I feel like chitanda will explode due to too much interesting things goin around her all at once and also, DAT PEN -i have a feeling once the punk guy asked for it, that they were gonna do that thing which involves trading an item for another item, and than have that item being traded for another, etc until something good happens. Kurimu-chan said: Apparently I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed this episode? I know nothing really happened, but for some reason I enjoyed it much more than previous episodes :> i actually enjoyed it a lot, seems like a fun start for the new arc SwordWielder said: who was the other cosplay standing next to miku? the one looks like samurai with a sword. thought it was reimu from touhou, but it might be from a side fighter game..tekken maybe. shadowtsunami said: RiukixD said: Except for this is going to be an opening 2 and not an ending 2.

     |
| Hey where is my new OP????The ED was great with Chitanda and Ibara as Serlock and Watson XDD... As for the epi.: Good and someone please hold Chitanda away from the other clubs XD I loled with Fukube's Saturn costume hahahaha...He is amazing!!!(I want a costume like this too *-*) And Oreki saying:''Don't speak with that costume'' Lol... |
| I liked the pen -_- |
