Hyouka Review

I recently watched this anime known as Hyouka and it's nearing the end of October and I usually do at least one review every month, I'm doing a review on this. Hyouka is Mystery, Slice of Life anime with a touch of romance. Hyouka was originally a 2001 novel written by  Honobu Yonezawa and later a manga. It was adapted into a 22 episode anime (plus 1 2013 OVA) in 2012 by none other than Kyoto Animation. This review will be fairly short as I don't have much to say about Hyouka but I did find it rather interesting with some pretty good characters.

Summary
Houtarou Oreki signs up for the Classic Literature Club at Kamiyama High School, at his older sister's request. Oreki is then dragged into a series of mysteries. Fellow club members Satoshi Fukube, Mayaka Ibara, and last but not least Eru Chitanda accompany him on his cases. Houtarou Oreki is usually energy conserving, unemotional, and uninterested if its none of his business, but a new side of Oreki will show, a very intelligent clever side of him.

My Conclusion
I would give Hyouka 4/5 stars or a 8/10 score. While it's not exactly my taste it is an interesting anime and did teach me about solving mysteries in my own life. One thing I learned is looking at the little details. This anime definitely had some pretty good character development especially with Oreki. In My Anime, The main character Takeshi Hachuu will definitly share many characteristics with Oreki, particularly his intelligence and cleverness, though Takeshi will be more athletic, emotional and caring. Additionally many people think of Oreki and Chitanda together as a couple. While this isn't confirmed in the anime, it is hinted Chitanda does like Oreki in a romantic way.
