Synopsis

High school freshman Houtarou Oreki has but one goal: to lead a gray life while conserving as much energy as he can. Unfortunately, his peaceful days come to an end when his older sister, Tomoe, forces him to save the memberless Classics Club from disbandment.

Luckily, Oreki's predicament seems to be over when he heads to the clubroom and discovers that his fellow first-year, Eru Chitanda, has already become a member. However, despite his obligation being fulfilled, Oreki finds himself entangled by Chitanda's curious and bubbly personality, soon joining the club of his own volition.

Soon enough, the club's membership grows to four, as Oreki's friends Satoshi Fukube and Mayaka Ibara join. Driven by Chitanda's insatiable curiosity, the members of the Classics Club solve the trivial yet intriguing mysteries that permeate their daily lives.

So... imagine you're watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Except you get rid of all the supernatural elements and make the characters incredibly generic. That's what this show felt like. A "mystery" show about a class club that goes to the ends of the earth to solve the world's most mundane and nearly nonexistent mysteries, all because... well... the girl "just had to know"... A lot of the mysteries involve Japanese wordplay and writing structures, so its very difficult to follow along if you don't know the language.
