Oreki wild conclusion was correct a the end.
He was lucky?

My thoughts exactly. Kiss already! That episode had many levels of epic to it. And I agree it was hellishly teasing.

Dam, Oreki is genius for deducting that case from just two piece of evidence.
If he is in Deathnote, he will probably bust Light in 4 episodes.

Dunno bout the end, but the song in the very beginning is from Bach. I only know it as "THe Cello Song", and only because of "The Piano Guys"' rendition of it.

Nice Photoshop, whoever did that. And I SOOOOOOOOOOO do want that.
Damn, I love the tension between the two of them rising.

All I need is for them to kiss. Just a little peck, or even an accidental one. Then this show would be best of season for me.


Also, I loled at Oreki failing. Failing to prove that he's no fuckin' genius, that is.

Ohmygod. This episode is so A+.
Totally nice to have an episode with just them. Animation was also quality.

I really love this episode. ChitandaxHoutarou moments. ;)

Now I also want to see some Satoshi and Ibara development :D

Wow. This'll end in two weeks. O_O

I really like mysteries about deducing everyhting from nearly nothing, they show how much your detective-character is especially well. This episode, while lacking in Classic Club's members, was great. Just like every other one. Because Hyouka is simply fantastic.

And no, it did not feel like a Joshiraku episode, what are you talking about? Nobody shouted or hit anybody.

Ahh, Oreki never fails to amaze me.
I absolutely loved this episode. There wasn't much going on, since it's just about two high school students sitting together and trying to solve a mystery (even though they took it as a game, or at least only one of them did), but the whole mystery in itself was appalling, and the deeper the two dug into it, the better it got.
Loved the part when Oreki changed his voice to fit Students X and Y. And that smile at the end was just fantastique~

So we only have two episodes left? I wonder how it will all turn out in the end.

I have to say, of the 3 seasons of anime I've watched so far this, this one is one of the best I've seen. I love how it's able to take some of the most simple and mundane of life mysteries and make it interesting. On top of that, we're seeing a slowly-building relationship between Eru and Oreki, which I am completely fine with. There are a lot of relationships that are built around a slow-building friendship. What's even more interesting is seeing how both characters are progressively changing and warming up to each other. When these two first met, they were fairly polite and didn't really say what they were thinking. Now you're seeing Eru make faces, get in Oreki's face (uncomfortably close...and Oreki not really minding it :P), and *gasp* Oreki smiling!

This is a really good series. Only two episodes left so I'm interested in seeing how they play this out.

Chitanda and Oreki stood out as a couple again

A theory that has gone so farfetched, but still was legit at the end
I would have bet on Lost and Found instead which the item hasn't got a personal id at all, but the customer was in school uniform to point in that direction

5 minutes of babystep discussion to conclude that it was probably about a crime.

Then they contemplate back and forth because of a holey theory. For the rest of the episode. Until Oreki manages to tie the available strings together into one sufficient theory. Because he read the news posters that morning.

It would be a complete dead end if he hadn't read that news poster.

"I wonder what that announcement was about..."
"I remember reading about counterfeit 10,000 yen bills in the news this morning. Maybe a high school student used a bill like that and got in trouble."

Gawd, I wish I had an intellect like Oreki, he would seriously make a splendid detective~ Chitanda's pouting and Oreki's nonchalant acting were just moé<3

And as much as it would be nice to see, the only situation those two would ever be able to kiss in now would only be an accidental one =/

I reallly hope we get to see Hotarou nee-chan's face before it ends, that mystery is still killing me Dx

Well you need to be aware of your surroundings i guess.. but yea the whole theory was a bit bizarre.

About the Cello Song:

It is a variation of the prelude to Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G. The Soundtrack of Hyouka features quite a bit Bach (and Fauré).

I think the source of the counterfeit money is really not from the lending situation Oreki explained.
but what really happened on the 31st is that when the student X went home after school ...
Student X was forced to use the counterfeit bill By the 22 y/o gangster.
The police found out and student X pointed out the real culprit :D

What do you guys think??

Not sure if its was forced.
Maybe student X didnt know he was using fake money until the news came out that there were fake bills around ? sadly at the beginning of episode its not said when the news came out that there's fake money around so i cant be sure xD
And when he found out he felt guilty of using fake money or felt responsible of letting the store know the money was fake?

It could have been force but it could have depended on the relationship X and Y had. If they were friends, i doubt he had written the letter unless he was a very very honest person.

If forced then when found out, it could have been X fault and they had arrested him, resulting Y to be found out too, so they would have take such a risk ? did they even want to be found out to begin with? xD

haha just guessing :P your theory can be true (because why would have high school student went to elementary school store, maybe really it was force, or maybe cause of a younger sibling or something ) just added my opinion

The ending song was Bach's 'Air on G String' (by far my favourite classical piece) and it is also the same song that was heard at the end of episode 7.

Great directing here. As for the case itself, I love speculating myself, so it was near perfect for me. It felt a bit faulty though, in how they could go on without doubting their theory. I was just waiting for a "someone forgot something" to prove Houtarou wrong.

He does have a talent. His own game in which he tried to write it off as luck proved that. A whole episode just for a fake mystery with Houtarou and Chitanda, yet I really enjoyed it. Just the whole theory and the expressions and emotions it unleashed (especially with Chitanda) were great!

Looks like we'll see more Chitanda and Houtarou together next episode. I'd like to see more of the others too though...
