killerinsidee 14 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The "Chitanda knows her" thing could just be Chitanda realizing that she looks like Oreki. Could be, but the fact is that Chitanda is kinda dumb about random shit. For an example, she can't remember where she saw the art style from the manga book and she goes into "watashi kininarimasu mode", while she saw that poster yesterday. Or maybe I'm just reading into it too much. The question remains why is Oreki's sister's face hidden, maybe she has some distinctive facial feature which Chitanda recognized, it's kinda of a stretch though :> .

Dan. 11 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 There's probably no real reason to hide her face. The only reason I could think of to hide it from the viewers would be if there was a photograph or something that we'd seen before with her in it that could give something away, but I don't remember seeing anything like that. Maybe there will be something later on in the show, or maybe it's just pointless face-hiding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
killerinsidee 14 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Ep 17 - A pretty good conclusion to this arc, Oreki was pure win in the first half of the episode. Doubt I can ever get bored of listening to Nakamura Yuuichi rant about random stuff. The only crap part of the episode was the manga bullshit, I'm glad that's over. Nothing else to say about it. Next ep will either be filler or it will start off the final arc of the show. Edited August 13, 2012 by killerinsidee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The next ep will probably be filler. There are 7 episodes left, and I think the normal arcs are usually 5 eps, so there will probably be a filler ep, a normal arc, then another filler ep that serves as a conclusion to the series, or a 2-ep filler and a normal arc. http://i.imgur.com/YlRrn.gif Watashi, kininarimasu!

desi 53 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think there are 4 episodes left, if i'm not mistaken. Still need to catch up with episodes 15-17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan. 11 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 hmm... ANN says it's 24 eps; MAL says 21 If it is only 21 eps, then it will probably be original content for the rest of the show, because the only novel left looks like it would take more than 4 episodes.

killerinsidee 14 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hmm, strange stuff. I personally trust MAL more then ANN, but I guess we'll find out in a few weeks. Though I would like more episodes then less of course :> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though I would like more episodes then less of course :> In my experience, MAL is usually right about how many episodes are in a series when ANN isn't, but that's because ANN usually only has the ones that have been announced (so they usually have fewer than MAL). In this case, since ANN has more, I'm not sure what to believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desi 53 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The Hyouka wiki says 21 episodes, as does wikipedia. Using these trustworthy sources, I predict that it will be 21 episodes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desi 53 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Just finished episode 17. Good conclusion to the arc. I'm satisfied with the way they wrapped up the Jumanji Mystery. It's also hilarious to see the effort Oreki puts into preventing Chitanda from being disappointed. Looking forward to the Satoshi villain arc where he completely snaps and kills everyone.

killerinsidee 14 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ep 18 - The predictable filler before the last arc. It had a bit more laughs then usual but still, filler is a filler. The mystery was kinda uninteresting to me. Only significant thing was the slight change of Oreki's behavior, but it was to be expected by the end of the series. Also, it's soo good not having any manga club bullshit anymore. Last arc next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan. 11 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Like you said, the mystery this ep wasn't very interesting, but they never are in the fillers. Everyone's reactions to Oreki being curious were pretty funny. I'm guessing that the arc starting next week will be an original arc. The title doesn't correspond to any novel, as far as I can tell. The title for the week after is "akemashite omedetou," which means "happy new year." It doesn't seem to have anything to do with next week's title, and it didn't seem like they were anywhere near january 1st in this week's episode, so it might just be fillers for the rest of the season, which would suck.

Dan. 11 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Okay, 19 was another filler ep, and it looks like 20 probably will be too. Filler for the rest of the season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desi 53 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Caught up with episodes 18 and 19 Episode 18: Mostly filler. I have to say, the ending was pretty awesome from a character development perspective. Episode 19: Mostly filler again. So Damn Close. Looks like Chitanda is getting tips from Mayaka with the glares. I thought that was pretty funny. Last two episodes might just be about the relationship buildup between Chitanda and Oreki. I'm going to be a bit disappointed if it's just more teasing with random fillers for the last 2 episodes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan. 11 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Last two episodes might just be about the relationship buildup between Chitanda and Oreki. If they're using stuff from the books, then it probably won't be. Most of the Chitanda/Oreki romance stuff is not in the books. Like all of the Chitanda being really close to Oreki and Oreki getting embarrassed - none of that is in the book. They added it to the anime to get more viewers. But they may have just made up the last 2 episodes, so it could very well be about romance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
killerinsidee 14 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I just finished watching ep 19. Looks like it's gonna be filler till the end. I personally don't think we'll see a kiss or anything like that, just more teasing. Though this ep had a lot of teasing. Nothing much more to say about it apart from that.

Zaig 10 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 *shields eyes from the spoilers* I started Hyouka yesterday but should be caught up sometime this week (on episode 9 at the moment). It sucks I missed out on such a great anime while it was airing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but at the rate I'm going, I'll run out of episodes today or tomorrow, so I'll be joining the waiting game soon. --------- Random Episode 12 Thoughts Because Not All of Us Are Awesome Enough to Be Current Oh…oh my god. Chitanda jumping up and down in excitement while clapping her hands at watching the dancers was so incredibly cute. It made me sad when she suddenly stopped and said in a serious tone, “This isn’t the time to be doing this!” and ran off. Damn it, get back here and continue what you were doing! ...Although, even without that scene, she was pretty cute throughout the entire episode, getting all distracted. Get it together, Chitanda! You can do it! EDIT: I've now officially joined the waiting game. Edited August 29, 2012 by Zaig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
