| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The episode did brilliantly in the expected fan service with decent and very moderate exposures as known of the weakness of the studio in that field yet they show it much more strongly than other studios in perhaps light aspects. However that is in the first half of the episode. What really catches in the second half are the young girls in the following,  MOE OVER 9000 *dies* ....*is back* Oh that was so much MOE. Both are adorable however one of them looks like Ibara a little. So I think only one looks like Eru's sister? Except she is not and in fact related to Ibara’s side. Seems that they tried to make a mini Ibara/Eru play with the looks of the 2 sisters. But oh my they look adorable. Coincidentally the end also offered a rather very charged up rich and intriguing art usage in the following,  Notice the LOVELY shades and how that part really enchanted Eru as a dark figure enshrouded with fiery curiosity of perhaps a deeper love developed. Remember she touched Houtarou’s face in a way perhaps and in the setting that was never done before by her. Setting meaning Houtarou in the bed. About the fan service, the studio was never known much farther than its “B” Grade fan service being very light and never really crossing the border and perhaps only a artistically way. This is exactly what charmed me in this episode. Take example of the Eru’s part in the spoiler That being said IMO they fan serviced out more for the girls Houtarou and Satoshi. A total win for them and of course a good thing for there are far too many anime girls exposed and not enough males for its female viewership. As such Houtarou and Satoshi in the spoiler About the beginning, a rather nice depiction of Houtarou here starts out for me things. While the episode gives out a nice Houtarou x Eru beginning with their faces and walk in the spoiler About Houtarou’s collapse, oh dear! ROFL! Where to start OMG I never though Houtarou was so lame like that. Let’s take the parts of the segment in the spoiler About Eru’s visit to Houtarou while he is weak, that certainly would explain the following spoiler About Houtarou’s vision, a rather strange and intriguing journey in the spoiler The morning meeting and little sister to the rescue! Certainly a nice sight to see of the little girls in the spoiler One of them being at start with Ibara in the spoiler It was rather charming the part where Ibara started to talk of her time with Eru in the bed in the spoiler Now I have to admit that Eru’s faces were charming in the spoiler I find the part with the young girls in the spoiler Finally within this segment, it was finally good to see Satoshi back in the spoiler About the last walk, this last segment for me had a few parts of high artistic value and notion. Such as the spoiler The second part of this segment in the spoiler However what really got my MOE OVER 9000 is the siblings with how they made Eru react in the spoiler About the preview, looks like the gang shall see some movie and we have a new female in the spoiler |

| Ah, the onsen episode. Saw this coming from a mile away from last week's preview. Also lol'd @ the scene in the room, somehow, some way, an image from the Steins;Gate OVA popped up in my head. |
 |
| Field trip to onsen. The guy got carsick easily. Short hair girl's sisters. One of the sisters is voiced by Toyosaki-san!! Another is Yui Ogura? The way to onsen with the girl, who is jealous of having siblings. He got sick in the onsen sensing and imagining about the girl?! Kaidan by the girl by Toyosaki-san next room, about 7th room. lol @ his friend sleeping next to him so near in the morning. And short hair girl saw something like that kaidan that was mentioned. So the girl saw, too. To the investigation. There's festival, and rain. It was to dry the yukata?? Older one has her names on everything, but not the younger one. The girl feels sad about siblings not getting along to the extend that borrowing is not allowed. Watching a film that sempai filmed? next ep. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| You missed the twist, it turned out they do get along. |
[right] |
| Ahh...siblings can be fun and troublesome sometimes. Another mystery solved |
 |
| Lol Eru looked a little upset that it wasn't a mixed bath |
 |
Gorou said: So she will be in the next ep? What does TWGOK have to do with this show? Though she looks like the girl almost from the preview for next episode. |
|
| Lol at Oreki's reactions to Eru "I'm glad we took this trip" "i wish we hadn't"; they really are opposites, but there is always that saying about opposites :P Also lol at when Oreki's eyes lost color due to shock after Eru said she went to Morning radio exercises till the second year of middle school |
 |
| is there some growing feelings there? 0_o |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Obligatory fanservice episode. Does Houtarou not wear underwear or something? Can only imagine the chafing that goes on while going commando in jeans. And Chitanda being ever so.... annoyingly pushy. |
 |
| Haha, Chitanda wanted to go in a shared onsen with Oreki, she is one hell of a girlfriend. XD Pretty interesting mystery and not as much fan service as I thought there would be. At least there was still a decent amount of smile service from Chitanda. ^^ |
| finally the next arc :D !! but it was a very enjoyable episode ^^! |
| . . . y o u f o u n d m e ♥ : icon's credit : |
| lol houtarou's really got the hots for chitanda. blushing left and right around her, and then passing out at the thought of her bathing in the onsen x] can't wait til those two start getting serious <3 once again, houtarou never ceases to amaze me when it comes to single-handedly destroying these mysteries. really love the way houtarou busted this "ghost" story |

Gorou said: At most a look alike, however what would Hyouka gain from a fusion with that reference?So she will be in the next ep? |
| Oreeekiiiiii! He's way too adorable! ^-^ I'm rooting for Oreki X Chitanda now! They are so cute together! Nice episode! It was fun to watch! :D And yes, it's not that amazing good to have a sibling. XD |
| Can't get enough of Chitanda's curiosity. Dang. I didn't figure it out this time. I am losing my edge to these mysteries. But nice episode. Oreki passing out, LOL, and his morning bedhead. He is developing feelings for Chitanda. He can't help but not reject her request! I am rooting for you Oreki. |

| Lol, poor Oreki, he couldn't enjoy the ride.. Good episode overall. |
| Shit, I ship Chitanda x Oreki like mad now. |
| Well, I can't blame Houtarou for passing out after having "those" thoughts about Eru naked at the onsen. She's got lovely skin and the water enhanced that. And those eyes... |
 |
| Oh, hell. I was so busy laughing at Oreki and his "problem" that I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the mystery. |
 |
| great episode. definitely better than the last I don't know, but I find Hyouka is becoming more enjoyable episode by episode |
| NIce episode the Mystery was small but had a twist at the end but i was to busy enjoying Oreki X Eru for it to matter to much And has no one mentioned Yui's VA cameo?! not that it was a surprise that she would be in it seeing as Ritsu's VA is already doing Eru wonder if the rest will show up!. |
 |
| Gotta love the interactions between the characters, Oreki and Chitanda were great. YUUIIIII, god, did I miss her voice. |
Cratex said: Oh, hell. I was so busy laughing at Oreki and his "problem" that I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the mystery. ^This. Totally funny reaction. As for the mystery... oh well nobody watch this series for the mystery anyway so it doesn't matter. The obligatory onsen episode. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Droplet said: Shit, I ship Chitanda x Oreki like mad now. Never doubted i would ship anything else myself. I really liked this episode; it was obvious it was the sisters but i thought they were trying to test him because of what mayaka had said. Not really close XD |
| Most of my ships are not the main protagonists. I guess it applies to Hyouka too. I want some Satoshi and Mayaka. Good episode. The interactions of Oreki and Chitanda had more impact to me than the mystery this episode. Listening to Yuuichi Nakamura ranting is pleasant to the ears~ Also, nice BGM. I'm sure I heard Bach's Air on the G String towards the end. |
| Oreki!! Holy crap you're getting more adorable by the episode. Especially that blushing!! That totally killed me!! <333333 I'm so jealous of Chitanda. ;A; |
| I realize the slow pace of this series isn't for everyone, but WOW the art is phenomenal! For a weekly TV series, this is quite impressive! Chi looked great in this ep too! |
 |
| Its very bold of Chitanda to want a mixed bath, and Oreki getting dizzy at this own thoughts was funny : ) I love seeing those two together, hopefully there's more development btw them in the future... And Chitanda, that's just how siblings are..not always perfect, but still love them.. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| This was an excellent episode. As always, I am extremely impressed with the quality of the animation, especially lighting. (Chitanda looks so much better with her hair tied up, I wonder why the studio shows that so sparsely.) The music was also great. But more than that, it was great to see Houtarou getting turned on by Chitanda, his passing out in the hot spring was priceless. The mystery part was good too, it's always fun to try to figure things out before Houtarou does. The best episode yet IMO, by far. |

| This episode was so much better than all the others in my opinion. I really enjoyed watching it. And wow I ship Oreki and Chitanda so hard holy shit It's kind of obvious that Oreki's starting to like her a lot. |
魔法少女★グレイシー |
| I wanted some more Chitanda fanservice. /disappointment |

| Kayo and Rie are so cute. They are so close as sisters but they do have their sibling rivalry! :D |
| Lol'ed at Oreki passing out from imagining Chitanda naked. Actually, they would be cute together. This episode's mystery was actually quite intriguing. And is it just me, but I really don't like Mayaka's character. She seems really dull and there's no depth in her character. Same with Satoshi, kinda. |
| Houtarou, Oh man. You need to pull some manly things. |
 |
| This anime is bad for my heart. Too much HNGHHHHHH. |
    |
| Oh, Chitanda why must you be so cute and innocent and put a smile on my face. XD Oreki passing out in the hot spring. siblings trouble and awesome at the same time |
| Oreki x Chitanda supporter here!!!! And really this is a pretty good episode. I really can't stop watching this show, it's amazing :) |
  |
| Chitanda is more daring than I thought. She so wanted that mixed bath. |
So, mystery of a hanged ghost. Well, it was pretty amusing. Oreki passing out lol. Well anyway, looking forward to next mystery. |
|
| I was hoping for something supernatural but the conclusion was just as satisfying without it. And I'm glad to see that those two do get along. Can't wait for next week! |
He obviously jerked to the side to hide his growing erection. Oh Houhou |
| Eru x Oreki. omg Gogogogo! That shining blushing face of Eru! Too cute! I wonder who will be the seiyuu of the new girl next episode. Wishing for more development of Eru x Houtaro! |
| Loved it! I always like out-of-school trip episodes and this was no exception. Interesting mystery and a lot of adorable moments. Oreki's undoubtedly starting to fall for Chitanda very quick. I wonder if there will actually be a romance aspect to this series some time. So far I don't really think it would fit the series, but I hope so. |
