| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Certainly this episode screamed Oreki x Eru LIBRARY TIME! Well in a most romantic fashion from how I see it. What are interesting would be the book references in the spoiler About the beginning, the start has some rather interesting elements. In fact there are 3 of them I liked. First one is a rather peculiar interest towards that guy and the helicopters in the spoiler The second element is Satoshi and his rich facial expressions in the spoiler  Along with the spoiler Third element is Eru in the spoiler About Oreki’s imagination, so despite the nice clean up in the spoiler  Now that is by far more amazing. I loved it that Oreki of such passionate romance on a bike. It’s so lovely to see it. The visuals clearly show love and guidance by a Lovely Angel whom can be seen as the Goddess of Love herself. Notice the rose? That being said the end impresses with its scenery. Might edit later. |
| So cute |
 |
Reminds me a little of this: |
 |
| Interesting. About the teacher during junior high felt saying certain thing? lol @ the bike imaginations. lol~ the guy saying Chitanda's phrase!! And that action made Chitanda wonders, too. Thunders, helicopter, mountain climbing... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| hahahahahahaha |

Nowhere,everywhere.  |
| The mystery itself wasn't that interesting, but Houtarou himself was acting funny. Houtarou x Eru time was sweet. |
 |
| After he said "curious", I completely lost it! :D Anyway, great episode! |
| character/relationship building episode. Mystery was definitely back seat. Tantalising...lets see how far it goes ^^ |
| Was definitely weird seeing Oreki being curious about something. He's been around Eru too much! ( Which is a good thing :P ) I loved everyone's reaction lol. Especially Eru. She's so moe! All in all a great ep. |
 |
| Oreki's Curious = Minds being blown XD |
  |
| Eh. Filler. Interesting to see Oreki turn Chitanda-ish, though. Only three episodes remain. |
 |
| Well it does will feel a little embarassed sitting at the back on the bicycle when a girl is cycling. Today episode didn't feel that interesting, was about some old english teacher. It was fun to see they reaction of Oreki want to do something! :D |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Lol, his imagination was the best xD Im wondering if, since there's only 3 more episodes after this, they going to make a 3 episode arch or just keep the last few filler-ish as this one and just focus on character/romantic development. I wonder if they'll make a second season... |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| I love Oreki's reactions xD Seemed like a random episode though. o.o |
  |
|
| I'm so happy their starting to spend time together just the two of them....such a cute couple.. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Fantastic episode! Despite the episode feeling a bit less lively than the exceptional festival arc, the direction, artistic flourishes, and quality animation were as impressive and masterful as ever. Said incredible direction was especially evident throughout the final scene, particularly when Oreki looks upwards toward the helicopter; such an artistically striking composition. The excellent use of music was, yet again, extremely effective in setting the tone and illuminating a plethora of scenes in a rather beautiful fashion. There was some really terrific character development during this episode, particularly with Oreki realizing his own curiosity. The two segments that accompanied Oreki's trips into his imagination were wonderfully animated. Satoshi's reaction to Oreki stating he was taking a trip to the library was hilarious, as was all of their reactions when he noted his own curiosity. The small bits of relationship development between Oreki and Chitanda were especially great, and certainly a bit more obvious than in previous episodes. Once again, this episode was a visual feast and a storytelling delight. This show continues to be highly enjoyable, and I can't wait for the next episode; hopefully the romance will be hinted at even further, which seems very possible judging by the few seconds of the preview. |

| Loved the focus on Chitanda/Oreki. OTP OTP OTP. The preview was also very OTP OTP OTP. I highly doubt anything will come out of this and KyoAni is just trolling but whatever, they're still adorable. |
| "Owe her" my ass. Oreki, man up - you enjoyed spending time with Chitanda. Blackbird said: Well, no, this episode wasn't about the old english teacher. It was about Oreki and Chitanda.Today episode didn't feel that interesting, was about some old english teacher. |
 |
| soo did Oreki end up giving Chitanda a ride home in the end? |
| they're like husband and wife |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Oh man, those reaction when Oreki said he want to go check the library. |
 |
| I repeated the part where Oreki said he was curious like five times. Loled hard. Seriously, He needs to man up!!! Why he no ride bike together with Eru :( The romance continues on developing... a little ._. I wonder if 3 episodes is enough for the rest. So, what did Houtarou did at the end? He said he owe her one but did he actually guided Eru otw to her home? Oh man, I wanna read the novel, I wish they can translate all the volumes asap. |

I actually found it interesting since it showed that Oreki has changed slightly since the start of the show. |
| i love this show, i love this show sooo much |
   |
| Oh man Oreki continues to slowly change, was a nice episode if you look at the facts that it was a Oreki x Eru focused. though i wonder what Eru was trying to say at the end there i kinda have a good guess but i'm not sure lol |
 |
| Houtarou finally scored a date with Eru, but why the library of all places? Still this story has by far been the most "sentimental" one, that has appeared in this series. Anyway it looks like we are going to get some development between those two in the coming episodes, dare a hope a kiss? |
| Quite cute episode, liked it overall. The mystery this time was easier to figure out. I also don't really see Chitanda and Houtarou as OTP, they're cute like this, and I don't think it needs to go further... at least I don't feel Hyouka is this kind of series. |
ftghb said: i like how we're getting to see more of oreki's character development after seeing the last arc be so satoshi and ibara focused driven.....i still can't really figure out chitanda, we havent really seen her thought processes and what makes her tick like we have of the other 3 characters.... i thought the end was kinda cute, where oreki was going over how he didn't ask chitanda to accompany him.....that he owed her one, lol cant really see it with a oreki x chitanda ending tho.....i think kyoani's just giving us little moments, but i cant see oreki growing a pair and confessing (he cant even admit it to himself!), and chitanda's interests sway wildly from oreki to dung beetles, so i dont know if they are 'OTP' status I'd hope not.....I enjoy the series and everything but if it were to end like that then.....I could really see no point in having watched it...... |
| Lmao, Oreki is curious! xD prediction about end of the world in 2012 was right after all. ChitandaxOreki is just a perfect couple.They fit sooo much to each other. 5/5 amazing ep. |
 |
| Man 3 episodes to go :(. Hopefully we get a another season. |
 |
| The reactions when Houtarou said he was curious XD |
"Now's the time for you to run towards the day you awaken from this dream." ~Boys be Smile |
| The mystery is quite boring this time but I love the development between Eru and Houtarou, and looks like there's gonna be more development between those two based on next episode preview!! |
| Guess 2012 is going to happen since oreki is curious. Lol that bicycle scene made this the best episode ever :D |
| oreki: watashi kininarimasu! others: mind blown LOL |
| Oreki curious on something?! What is this blasphemy?! Love the reactions of everyone else... also the never gets old Chitanda Eru "I'm curious!" Also, I didn't expect Oreki to be the one who establishes the mystery this time. Unfortunately, the bike scene I was looking forward didn't happen in reality. Chitanda pedalling while Oreki is riding at the passenger seat is awkward... Oreki peddalling while Chitanda is riding at the passenger seat takes a lot of work... Thus he didn't do it! All's well that ends well. He finally knew why Ogi-sensei reacted this way when it comes to helicopters. |

| "Why did our teacher say he liked helicopters that time!? We must discover the truth!" ...Like, seriously? Who fuckin' cares? 2/5 |
| Kind of sad that were won't be another major mystery arc before it's over. Wouldn't mind seeing some Houtarou/Eru development in the meantime, but it seems like Houtarou has a hell of a long way to go before he's ready to admit to liking someone. |
| Hmm this is the one time I am confused here...can someone explain to me exactly what happened with/to the english teacher? I thought he was one of those stranded and wanted to see a helicopter so he could be rescued..but then it said the 2 stranded people were found dead? And where did the lightning occur, while he was stranded? :S |
 |
| Boring episode tbh. But Oreki WAS curious. The biggest plot twist that could ever happen in this series passed right by my very own eyes. That's all. |

And where did the lightning occur, while he was stranded? :S it seemed to me the english teacher was just worried about the stranded people seeing as how in the newspaper it says that he wanted everyone to understand the rules to protect fellow climbers from life threatening dangers, so he most likely was relieved when he saw that help was coming to save those people (but at the time he didnt know that they were dead or else he wouldn't be smiling) the lightning probably just occured during his climbing adventures, it was a clue for Oreki that the english teacher was a mountain climber (Oreki explained that the town didnt frequently have lightning because the mountains block atmospheric currents so he deduced that his teacher had something to do with the mountains which he confirmed with the article that Chitanda found) |
