This was hilarious.
As soon as he asked where the library was, i was expecting him to say Chitanda's catch phrase. Hearing him say it was a good laugh.
I'm glad this was the "Houtarou got curious." episode. I knew it was coming eventually, and i quite enjoyed it. I realized the truth behind his teacher earlier than i thought i would, and it was quite sad to learn the people were found dead.

Overall this was a good episode for me. Nice character development for Houtarou. Maybe Houtarou x Chintanda as well.

unpopular opinion: I actually find Chitanda’s “kininarimasu” thing EXTREMELY annoying and getting old

I love Houtarou so much and I realize she’s helping his character development, but still she comes off as completely bothersome & even selfish.
The other female characters have a lot more substance IMO (Irisu, Mayaka, Sawakiguchi)

There was definitely some interesting developments for the characters; I found it easier to focus on that aspect since the mystery was a relatively trivial one.

However, I was generally bored by the episode and while the Oreki is an interesting enough character by himself, I still feel that we know little about Chitanda.

Still, the mystery really put me off; the characters are great and all but the mysteries have been nothing but underwhelming for me during this whole show. Time to see what they do with the remaining episodes.

Houtaro felt guilty about nonchalantly said the teacher like helicopter, when in reality, helicopter is the one thing the teacher never wish to even see... (no rescue heli = no stranded climbers)

The episode it's just that simple.

Kinda like, I wouldn't want to say "Kevin love buses" because he takes the bus everywhere, when in fact, Kevin's mother was killed by a bus and he actually don't like buses... Something along that line.

"I hope I'm not right about this"
Indeed Houtaro... Indeed...




nice way to put it

Not at all. This was a key episode that helped enhance more development in Oreki along with his relationship with Chitanda.

godlike reactions when oreki said he wanted to do something and then when he said he was curious.

i thought it was going to be a boring episode at start but it ended being really good.

The case about the English teacher may not be interesting, but Oreki and Eru's development made up for it.

It was adorable to see them both of them together alone, and learning something new. Seeing Chitanda blush a little proves it might not be long before she grows romantic feelings for him. But will it happen when they're only three episodes left?

Seems like more Oreki x Eru developements next episode.

Oreki is one of that godly MCs, he can put up with everything. It's not like he cared that much in the first place.

Oreki being curious about something? What is this? Everyone's reactions, especially Satoshi's, were great.

Lots of Chitanda and ChitandaXOreki this episode. Can't ask for much more. Some might call it filler, but there was some really character building this episode. And relationship building as well. The preview makes it seem like those 2 might actually be getting together by the end of the series. We can hope anyway.

With only 3 episodes left, I know i'm really going to miss this show. Hoping for a 2 episode mystery, then a final episode mystery that will somehow be really fitting way to end the series.

I repeated the part where Oreki said he was curious like five times. Loled hard.
So, what did Houtarou did at the end? He said he owe her one but did he actually guided Eru otw to her home?


I doubt he did. Probably helping out next time or something :o hope to see that.

Replayed the episode like 3 times. I love the characters so much ahaha.

This episode really gives me something to look forward to in the last few episodes.

I hope that Hyouka will end with Eru and Oreki coming to understand their feelings for each other. It does not have to necessarily conclude with them being a couple though.

And also I hope that something will happen between Satoshi and Mayaka that will enable them to become closer.

Well this one was easy, I think the only mystery in Hyouka I figured out right. I was just hoping that when he went to library he wouldn't find an article about the teacher's death that all.

Liked it how the others reacted when Oreki expressed his interest into going to the library to find out more. Yes Oreki, it is that weird to see you interested in doing something xD

Epic moments when Oreki thinks of the scenarios regarding the bike ride and ends up just walking to the library by foot.

Kind of a step down from the previous case but still entertaining nonetheless. Chitanda seems to be more aware of her feelings towards Houtarou now.

Damn the lack of romantic development between Oreki and Chitanda.
I'd enjoy this at least twice as much if this was a School, Mystery, Romance.

It only bothers me when there's teases at romance but absolutely no delivery.

She can get away with that for 3 reasons.
1. She is extremely cute.
2. She is genuinely excited and not doing that to annoy Oreki intentionally.
3. Oreki likes her.

Stake useful to show a hidden side of Oreki, and it also starts to talk about the relationship between him and Chitanda. The mystery was not compelling, but I'm enjoying visiting the city with them.

Oh, Oreki was curious on why the teacher likes helicopters and being struck by lightning three times. Not his productive move but got him motivated. I really like Chitanda and Oreki's interactions in here, and somewhat tried to confess something at the end.

LOL Those bike illusions of what Oreki is thinking, with his boring face XD.

I wonder what Chitanda wanted to say at the end.

So the teacher was an alpinist that probably lost friend and when he thought an helicopter would bring them safe, he brought two dead men with him.

I heard somewhere that the record of the guy that was hit by lightning the most was 7 times, and then later he killed himself. What a sad fate.

Well, a lot of HoutarouxChitanda moment. I hope we get a proper clossure on this relationship! xD

Hmm, so a bit of a chill episode this time ... somehow they get talking about their old teacher Ogi who likes helicopters ... or does he? Turns out he was just into mountain climbing and was glad a rescue team was on the way ... shame it was too late :(
Though really, I guess this episode just built up more of Houtarou and Chitanda's relationship ... TBH, I was hoping this series wouldn't really have that much romance :S Of course, nothing really has happened yet, but they're definitely hinting at it. We've got Houtarou slowly changing ... and now HE'S the one that's curious! Boy, Ibara and Satoshi sure were surprised eh :P Oh well, hope to see the latter two more next episode though :O
