| Their meeting reminded me of my own meetings. xd We always do things which aren't related with the main thought of the meeting LOL. Nice episode. I like Houtarou's view. |
 |
| Great episode.... This anime is really different from others (Y)! |

| This episode was so clever. I'm glad Houtarou took some time with a break as well to think things through |
| mediocre what high school would that kind of shit happen at anyway |
| I like how the guys dress accordingly to their personality. Flamboyant Satoshi with bright neon colors and Your Dullness(lol) with neutral shades. So far so good. I hope they keep up this momentum. |
| Only thing missing from this group is a large great dane.... |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Haha, I see a lot of people assuming that Oreki either solved the mystery or believes he solved it. In my opinion, I have a feeling that he just came up with the conclusion on the spot so as to have something to actually present, and doesn't actually believe in his own hypothesis. Looks like there's a bit of dialogue between Oreki and Satoshi next episode, and seeing how they're on their bikes, my guess is that it takes place partially on their way home after the meeting. Topic of the discussion? Holes in the theory Oreki presented that Satoshi simply decided not to point out. Just a guess, seeing how Satoshi is smarter than he lets on. |

| Up until before I was mostly watching the show for the character interaction, unsure what to think of its plot, but the last episodes are starting to pick up on it. Still not really sure what to think of it all, though I have absolutely no problem watching it all ^^ |

| Chitanda just achieved waifu status. |
 |
| I am really enjoying this show. Each episode reminds me somewhat of the Hardy Boys mystery stories I read as a child. The only thing that does bug me sometimes is the over-use of shiny effects! While I realise that in the graphics arms-race you have to look better than the last guy, however, the op especially puts the BBC news graphics department to shame with their visual screaming of 'Look, we got a brand new shiny computer with a dreadnought sized graphics card' Still, that's a rather petty niggling. The meat and bones of the show is interesting. Im curious to watch more. |

| Wait why would protesting a simple rule change get him expelled? I think they are missing a giant part of the story here and I don't see how they can all say that it is settled. I think they need to figure out what he did exactly to get expelled rather than just saying "well he protested a rule and got expelled". Also, if he won the fight wouldn't he have been able to nullify his expulsion due to the fact that the principle conceded to him? What made the principle say alright we'll keep the 5 days, but you are expelled? EDIT: sorry for the typos, I was a bit tired. |

| He's probably not completely right, since Chitanda still doesn't know why she cried and because the anime would be done with 4 episodes otherwise. |
| He is a genius.. |
 |
| Those two should just kiss already. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I personally LOVED it. Hotarou's incredible mind and cute-ass face and personality never fail to amuse me. The fact that he was able to come up with such an answer in a bathroom in less than 30 minutes... wow. Respect, man. Respect. |

| Hotarou's voice calms me but Chitanda's annoys me to no end. I like how he took something from everyone and made his summary in that little time. And I loved Chitanda's house and Hotarou's face when he accidentaly entered Chitanda's room heh. |
Confucius said: Those two should just kiss already. Too much energy for Houtaru |
| Okey episode changing my speed to 1.20% pass is just way to slow... either way let's see what's next! |
 |
| This episode seemed alot like a meeting with my writing professor over an argumentative essay I have written with they way the questioned the logic in an orderly fashion... Bleh. Going to guess that wasn't what happened although who knows, maybe they are gonna get blind sided by the school after posting this for exposing something they shouldn't have. |
 |
| Wow Chitanda's house is really something!! There surely are a lot of analysis in this chapter, but it seems like the mystery is not as simple as that... I really like the animation that goes along as they tell their theories! |
 |
| lot of dialouge here, really had to concentrate which did take away some enjoyment but its obv we havent even scratched the surface |
| I just don't give a shit about the boring ass characters or their shitty mysteries retarded shit is meant for retarded viewers I suppose (no disrespect) |
 |
| and now the true arc begins :D |
 |
Cratex said: I thought it went well. As I understand it, this is a show about four kids becoming friends and solving a mystery. They're nibbling around the edges regarding the core, what Eru forgot regarding what her Uncle told her. I'm fine with the pace and development so far. Pretty much this. Good series so far. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| A lot of dialogue. Most of it I didn't find interesting, was having trouble caring about all the talk about what happened to her uncle 45 years ago. I'd find something more relevant to the 4 more interesting. Also would like to see more character building, them talking to each other about more personal matters. 3/5 |
 |
| ugh... nevermind. |

| Let's go bowling. |
| 5/5 Episode One bit pretentious, when it relates to the timing dedicated in solving the case, they were a little too dilated time, but the episode due to the different context and technical perfection is pleasant. Too bad discover that the links between the actors seem to have already been decided. |
 |
| That was a lot of dialogue, simple conclusion but brilliant all the same :) |
| It was a boring episode. |
| it's definitely the end of that mystery! |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Again, Oreki managed to think of a conclusion again. Oreki = Conan I want this anime to get darker. It's kinda boring but I still like this show. I see that everyone complains about the ED thing. I can see the point. |
 |
| Damn, Oreki's explanation just made my brain hurt, a freaking genius if you ask me. He some up other people's theory into his own words and still got it. This guy is something probably my favorite character of all time. At least we get some explanation on Chitanda's uncle for his motivation. Still cute when demanding Oreki an answer XD. |
| this episode was really compelling, I never thought it could be soo interesting! |
 |
| Oreki's theory is very plausible. Except I have a feeling that it wasn't the whole story. I mean, I could have understood if the students protested because the festival was going to be shut down for good, but to protest because it'll be shortened? Well, maybe that's possible too. Anyway, I still have that feeling that there's more to the story of Chitanda's uncle. Like she said, why would she have been shocked and cried at her uncle's response? I hope we get to find out. |
 |
| haha well there they all supply the information for him =P |
 |
| Mmm, that was a really good question from Chitanda at the end. If Houtarou explanation was right, then where was the sad part or the part that would make her angry? In any case, I can't believe how fast he can reach conclusion. Watching this anime make me feel so dumb xD Houtarou explanation was clever, as always. |

| Satoshi is a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy his character!! |
| I love how happy Satoshi is ... "a database can't draw conclusions" eh? :P I really like his friendship with Houtarou :D Man Chitanda's mansion sure is huge lol O_O So we hear everyone present their research and theories ... pretty interesting to see what everyone else thought. Hehe, Houtarou didn't really have anything but still managed to combine everyone else's information into a pretty cohesive theory ... I'm impressed! :P Though kinda like Ibara said, it would've been cool to see someone else figure it out though ... So it seems like Chitanda's uncle protested against having the cultural festival shortened ... makes sense with regards to what everyone else found, but I thought it'd be a little cooler lol XD Oh well ... loved the animation as always though. Especially with Houtarou thinking and with regards to everyone's theories :O True though, I wonder what made Chitanda sad then? o_O Also that preview ... OK then, just the bikes and clouds :P |
| It somewhat bugs me that there's no one else besides the club members in the mansion. Is there a reason for that? Did I miss something? The way the characters putting their heads together & how they interact with one another was what made this episode IMO. I had to rewind so many times to appreciate the beauty of the animation & understanding what they're saying, lol. |
