| good episode:) |
| This series just took a level in awesomeness with the characters' development. So far we only had Oreki slowly getting slightly more proactive (very slowly and very slightly). Now the rest of the characters joins with their problems and their not just your usual stuff. So Fukube is jealous of Oreki, who's clearly more talented in the mystery regard and has better results without even trying. But they are friends, so it can get pretty ugly if they don't confront the issue. Chitanda of all people has difficulties dealing with other people, specifically she's afraid of being a nuisance (unlike with Oreki, huh?). Also a problem - she can get blamed for not doing what she was supposed to do - ask for various favors. And finally Mayaka. Her problem I don't clearly understand, to be honest... It seems like a silly argument about whether manga can be a masterpiece or not, but it's clear there's more to it. Also it looks like she wants to be self-sufficient, being unwilling to ask Fukube for help and being angry (at first) for Oreki who helped with the cooking contest. I don't usually add a series to my favorites until I watch the whole thing, but f*ck it, Hyouka's too awesome not to be on my FavList. Had to replace Summer Wars, too bad... |

| Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) |
 |
| Mayaka's costume is from 「ひみつのアッコちゃん」（Himitsu no Akkochan） It is a very famous classical anime in Japan. Akko-chan always has the magical compact, she transforms herself with it. When Mayaka gave a compact to Houtarou, he pointed it was very important for Akko-chan. |

| i personally think that this festival part is more interesting than previous part |
 [/URL] |
| finally an episode i liked since the festival arc started. LOL at satoshi being so focused about beating oreki and then showing oreki not giving a single fuck. |
| Gotta love Satoshi's determination to beat Oreki to solving the case. His development is going quite nicely. It'd be interesting if he could get ahead of Oreki just this once, but lol yeah I doubt it. Y'know what they say, jelousy in friendship is usually a sense of admiration. |

Ksa said: Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) Ooooo good theory.. I like it. :) pretty good episode + I'm glad they are 100% looking for Juumonji. |

| This episode was meh, it was a lot of fun to watch but nothing really happened. Next episode should be the end of this arc. Ksa said: Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) This is possible, I wonder if it's the case. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Oreki never ceases to make me laugh. In the beginning all he wanted was to enjoy his lunch but instead he's caught up in solving the case of the School Festival thief. I'm really enjoying this arc and its great to see more character development for both Satoshi and Mayaka. "I'm curious" to see if Satoshi can solve the case before Orkei can. On a side-note, the Vocaloid cosplayers were jerks. |

Hummm, I think a nice panty shot would be nice in this angle. |
Nasty001 said: Hummm, I think a nice panty shot would be nice in this angle. Not a good idea... I like that this anime has a lack of fanservice. |
| I know I repeat myself but this arc is great and what I was thinking this Anime should be like throughout. Chitanda was so adorable again.. <3 And it was so clear that she fails with her clumsy way when talking to the Newspaper Club guy. :D There was also a lot of development between Satoshi and Mayaka when she was out there to "get some fresh air". But I don't get all that ranting against Mayaka in the Manga Club. But it starts to annoy me that she just can't open her mouth and say something to those mean bitches. I can't stand it when people aren't able to open their mouths. Not to forget Tani-kun. I don't get that lame characters purpose but he starts to piss me off. But maybe that's exactly his purpose? Satoshi should just open his mouth and say what he has on his mind as well.~ And Oreki kinda confessed when he said he just can't ignore Eru. hihi Still a great episode. But jeez, we're now already at episode 15. Time's flying by.. |
 |
| This episode seemed to off with Oreki He talked so much! (for a change) I feel so bad for Mayaka, seems she's been treated like an outcast in her Manga club The mystery was fun to follow, Chitanda doing cute things again around the festival. My guess for the culprit would be from the last club in the ABC order or a club that was dissolved due to low members |
| Another great ep, that ED was special~ but lol Oreki never fails to impress me xD "Oh? They're selling stuff online too?" Just like him to be soo laid back while everyone else is really tense and working hard during this episode xP |
Ksa said: Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) Nice job if that turns out to be true. And yeah, Satoshi won't solve the case lol. |
| I was constantly interrupted while watching this episode which really brought down the enjoyment. ._. I'm really loving Mayaka and her voice actress. I hated her as Inori from Guilty Crown but now that she's voicing a character with emotion it's really great to hear. |
 |
| I'm really liking the character development that a lot of the main cast (I can't really say much for Chitanda - I haven't seen much growth in her) has been getting. This show has really improved from the first episode and I'm glad I'm still sticking through with it. Next episode looks like it'll be interesting as well. I wanted to cry for Inaba. Those girls need to keep their mouths shut. Hopefully something happens where they'll get put in their place next episode. 5/5, can't wait to see what next week'll bring us. |

SakuraRainbow said: Nope. I thought that too, so when Fukube went to the Magic club trying to catch the culprit in the act i was on Oreki's side that the culprit wouldn't take items during performances.Am I the only person who thinks that the culprit has already stolen from the Classics Club and everywhere else they were planning? The Classics Club doesn't really have something worthy of taking other than their anthologies and now that mirror given to Oreki. If the culprit already took something, it's probably something small if none of the members have noticed and would have had to have been taken before Oreki started his post, otherwise he would have noticed. Most of their club room consist of uninteresting objects aside from that cactus that oddly stands out. However, the note they left is pretty noticeable, so i began to doubt this theory because no one has found one yet. Ksa said: I had this theory as well. Her missing manga has been brought up so many times that you can't just ignore the possibility that the thief behind her manga is behind all of these other stolen items.Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) It makes me wonder in what order these items are being stolen though. The culprit could be taking them randomly, since at one point if was a juice box that just went out of someone's sight after they put it down. For other items, however, the culprit could have easily taken the items without being noticed, and the clubs might not have realized until they needed them. My dumb theories aside, this was a great episode. Intense, unlike most of the time. Oreki had some kick in him this time around when it came to Chitanda. |
porkypink said: The director must really hate vocaliods. This made me laugh. Interesting way to look at it. |
Ksa said: Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) Wouldn't that belong to the manga club though? I don't recall it ever being in the Classics clubroom. |

And yeah, Satoshi won't solve the case lol. greenmush said: yea..Vocaloids vs Mayaka :D Satoshi go and solve the mystery for once ! im sure Oreki will be happy LOL |
| There's a lot going on, it's getting pretty serious. Mockman said: I was thinking of this too, but as Mockman said; didn't she have the manga at home? Isn't it technically from the Manga Society? I wonder if there really is a link between the mystery and the missing manga.Ksa said: Satoshi will fail. IMHO, Juumonji already stole something from Kotenbu. It's Mayaka's favourite manga - Corpse by the Evening (Korupusu etc.) Wouldn't that belong to the manga club though? I don't recall it ever being in the Classics clubroom. Meanwhile everyone except Houtarou is bothered by something. Those bitches in the manga society keep picking on Mayaka and it's wearing her out. Good thing her upperclassmen aren't that bad. Speaking of being worn out; Chitanda is getting a little tired of running around asking for favors. I wonder if Satoshi will solve this one. He's getting a little jealous of Houtarou's knack for solving mysteries. |
 |
| I liked everything in this episode! |
 |
| jelly Satoshi is kinda kawaii :PPP |
| Not that impressed with the episode. But I love the mystery coming back. Damn, I wish I was Japanese. Then the ABC letter thing would make more sense to me. LOL Ooh Satoshi's gettin' angry. XD DAYUM Masashi's hot. |
| While I did find this episode a little more dull than the usual Hyouka episode, I found it to be a pretty good transition episode just from the emotional standpoint. Outside of Oreki who hasn't done a whole lot during the festival, I get the sense of tension felt by the other club members. Mayaka is really struggling with her relationship with the other Manga Society members, Eru is struggling trying to communicate and persuade the other clubs to sell their anthology, and Satoshi is REALLY starting to get jealous of Oreki's mystery-solving abilities. Understanding this is a transition episode, I can live with it being kinda boring because the setup for the next few episodes looks VERY good. |
| I have very mixed emotion about this arc so far... I just want to see the four of them smiling and solving a case together again. The atmosphere is quite heavy with the other 3 going through serious character development while Oreki is... trading items. |

| Love it how everyone was so concerned and caught up in events at the end, and Houtarou's just shopping online. Everything's set for a good conclusion, looking forward to seeing it unravel nicely. |
| WTH?! I was almost finished in my comment and I accidentally closed it. Tsk. So again. :D Argh! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I like this episode.. I think it will urge up to show more feelings from our three characters. Of course Oreki is out of that . Haha. Though he will be involved in Satoshi's case. I think.. Satoshi.. hmnnn~ i think he will kind of act alone.. He was like on friendly competition with Oreki on his own.. It'll be hard to admit it though. Go for it. :D Ibara. :) woooahh~ why don't you shut them up? I know you can! :) *sigh* demo, I also like that part of her. :0 her troubled face was cute too with that cosplay. Hoho. Chitanda Eru. LOLOLOL. giving all her best to follow Irisu~senpai's advice.. Nyahaha. i think it was still not the right time for you. :) She does have her own technique though. One that can't be resist by others especially with Oreki-san. Haha. Oreki. Akshhhhh! Too much love. :) Haha. Despite the three of her friends thinking about the case, the first thing he noticed was that Chitanda was somewhat kind of tired. What the?! I love this side of him .. Another one was when he mentioned that: "The problem is she is someone I CAN'T ignore." LOLOLOL. I almost shouted from joy in this part. Nyahaha. Glad that I controlled myself. :D nyaha. :D I like Ibara's laugh there too. :)) He is in love with Chitanda and he knows about it but He just doesn't care.. -- my perspective. :D Nyaha. About the Case. Hmnnn~ I think its somewhat connected with the Manga Society.. |
| Looks like everyone's not in a good mood, with them having their own troubles. But still, good episode in terms of story progress. Liking this school festival arc so far, pretty light hearted while still keeping the mystery part of the anime in it. Hyouka's one anime that's simple but still so good =D |
 |
| Database taking action! |
 |
| A bit less of a good episode but still rather decent, I wonder how long it's going to take until they find the culprit! |
 |
| Probably another 1 or 2 episodes left in this arch however I look forward to it. |
 |
| satoshi's determination at the end was interesting.... but Oreki will always be superior.... |
| damn i hate those girls for being so mean to ibara |
 |
| I really don't like the tension that is building up :( I want them to just laugh together and solve cases D: I hope Fukube will forget that stupid jealousy of his. He doesn't need to be Holmes, especially because he is still awesome as Watson, especially with his database skill. I can understand him, but still :( Mayaka should just ignores those bitches. Finally Chitanda, well, I'm not sure if being tired of 'doing favors' is just a little temporary thing for her or something big building up :/ |
