    The opening of Hyouka is so well done. Still sticks with even after all these years. It’s a complete story and the characters are fantastic, would have wished for a continued series but it just makes this so much more special

      Same here, I think it would be awesome to see these characters again but the way they ended it was just so good

    I just finished up my first viewing of Hyouka and I was completely blown away. Not only are the visuals gorgeous to look at but the characters are entertaining and compelling to watch. Chitanda is definitely best girl material. Looks like I'm on a Kypto animation run as I previously watched Beyond the Boundary right before Hyouka. Perhaps a little Violet Evergarden is next up, followed by some Haruhi Suzumiya and K-ON. Once I finish a series I tend to see what is on CZcams for that show so I will definitely be checking out all your other videos once I'm done.

    This. A video excellently encapsulating why Hyouka may not be the best anime, but my favourite.

    Your anime videos have been extremely impressive. Your scripts are phenomenal and well written. The editing contributes to the overall video by being interesting and entertaining, and adding to your spoken message. The final product is full of passion and detail. Take as long as you need to find content you want to write about, and write scripts that you are satisfied with. With high quality content like this, your audience will find you. Thank you for the videos, and (I can't remember the last time I said this) thank you based CZcams algorithm for leading me here.

    Ik this video is two years old but its still amazing. I love to search up my favorite animes and search stuff like the meaning of the anime the point yk. Usually I get video's that are amazing. Over time I have managed to find a couple that hit me and make me even more depressed than the actual show, and so does this video. I saw 1 or two videos explaining somethings pretty well but this video hit me right where it should of hit me. I'm the type of person that has ideas yet can't express them because if I do the ideas will come out un-polished and will make others avoid my opinions. This video is exactly how I felt, granted a few things are different of course since we're not the same but you hit it. The way you expressed/described the color palette and other things like how Hyouka teaches that importance of stepping out of your comfort zone. Like you said "Not just when it comes to deciding what I'm going to watch tonight but with life in general". To , if you can fight back against a gray colored monotony , to if you can try to break the unrealistic expectations you hold for all in your life then maybe you to can find a way out of this bland color palette and acquire a rose colored palette. Now that's altered because that's my way of saying how I view this so I don't copy you. for my own sake. Thank you again for making this video. I must say this anime is a Rose-Colored Gem but not just the anime, the characters, the color Palette, and other things alike but also this video. This video along with Hyouka is also a Rose-Colored Gem.

    Your video helped me clearly see the subtext and themes of this show. It is written as complicated as the literature that inspires it, you really have to pay attention and think a little. Also lmao at chitanda being voiced by ritsu's voice actress
    The second end with the Sherlock Holmes imagery was 10/10 I never skipped it once
    Def one of the best anime out there for those that appreciate layered writing inspired by classic literature and ofc it has arguably the best style in terms of directing color shot framing animation etc. It's on par with disappearance imo ( on a technical level

    I'm still annoyed at myself for dropping it the first time after 4 or 5 episodes, only to come back a few months ago and have it be one of my favourite shows. I really hope Kyoto animation decides to make a second season for the show, as there are still 3 novels that aren't covered in the anime. Also, I hope a publisher decides to release the novels in English at some point.

    The festival arc is best for me, The message about expection and reality is just hit like a truck, and it really age well. Especially it reflect the state that happened to the original novel now, its really ironic. Yonezawa himself is now doing what kogayama is doing, like wtf man..he could resolve this story in like 2 to 3 years with at least two more books, but for whatever reason he choose not to touch it again..
