Don't go for the bad score, give this manga a try, it is really breathtaking!
I can't deny that it has clear defects, but still I think the experience of reading this manga is worth it. There are two flaws that stand out: the end, it doesn't represent how good the story went and the introduction of a villain who doesn't have an ounce of charisma. Regarding the first defect, I think the author did well not to take the most obvious path, but there was a lack of progress, the final fight was not as exciting as others and the characters did not have the ... emotion that was expected. About the second defect, I didn't really like this villain, but he served a purpose and was true to himself at all times, everything in this work and even he fits in with the plot.
The characters, the construction of the world and the revelation of the mysteries for me are strong qualities of the work, especially the characters, the protagonist for me was the best female protagonist I have ever seen, including anime, she performs very well the duality of a protagonist who fights for the good of others and at the same time is someone dangerous, who grows exponentially while still being the same character you met in the beginning. There are 3 other characters that I got attached to, they don't need to be so well developed, but each scene they appear in has an impact, and they are just cool, really cool, really really cool. This story is a lot about it, cool characters doing cool things in extreme situations.
This manga made me scream with euphoria at various times, it is stupidly fun and is a sensational work in terms of action, without a doubt it was marked as one of my favorite manga

The anime is funny and have charismatic characters, a great production and beautiful scenes.
The best thing in the anime is the characters, they gonna make you watch until the end, have some "mysteries" about the past, but isn't a great contribution to the anime., the biggest point here is the comedy and how the characters react to each other. Don't have a big characters contruction (just a little) but the characters fby himselfs are cool.
The biggest fall of the anime is when he tries to be serious, cause he can't, YOU can't see that story and really get serious, mainly because the Deus Ex Machina ... thing, or just because is a bizarre plot.
The anime is cool, but sluggish and don't have great plot. So, this is a kind of anime with a deliberate non serious plot, so if you want have some fun, watch it.
8.2/10

It's impressive that in so many years, still the most fun anime that I ever watched.
I'ts bizaree, it's strange and shows the most purely comedy.
The production of KyoAnimation helps a lot to make the scenes more ishocking, what is awesome, cause is shocking to be a joke. At all the animation makes the anime something fluid, and you laugh and laugh with the stranges situations.
The anime is just about the daily of a school, but the situations and how the characters react to them is what makes funny. Perhaps then sense of comedy it's something relevant for yourself, I think is pretty hard to ... you don't smile with some sketch, cause the anime make fun of everything and makes a long way just to finish with a joke.
I though awesome cause the comedy takes me, so I recommend to everyone watch, just for curiosity. Worth it.
It's a 10 (9.6)

Moe animes gonna ruin the anime industry, I hear a lot of this in this last years, but I still expect that the "moe" wave is just a tendency to attract consumers and that don't matter to make a anime good or bad. Blend S it's a example of that, the anime have a lot of "moe" and "ecchi" but that doesn't affect the anime at all.
The plot is pretty simple, but it's a recipe that worked in the past with another anime, to be honest, it's a mixtape of all we already had seen in another animes about a job. I like a ... lot of the art and the characters design, the soundtrack suits very well the setting of the anime and the animation is seemly to a comedy.
Isn't the kind of story that gonna change your live, don't gonna give you a new philosophy, but is good to give a enjoyment, have a kinda of comedy, a kinda of romance and do what he tries to do (comedy sense is your criteria).
It's a 8 (7.8).

Re:Zero is a anime of ups and downs.
Some episodes have more ups then downs just like the opposite.
What I recommend to do is marathon, the anime have four arcs, so if you see one at a time you probably gonna have a good experience.
I don't have claims about story, art, sound or characters. I think Subaru is one of the most humans characters, he fails, he's not perfect, he tries to be "The Guy" but he's not and the anime show this cleanly. At the same time is good to see how he grows up over time, have sometimes this is gonna be extremely boring, ... and the only thing you gonna think is "Bull....". As I said it's a anime of ups and downs.
The first and third arcs are the best for me, the last is fair, but wants more then can do and the second is horrible and unnecessary. The construction of the main character it's good, but fail in the constructions of others and some things are flimsy.
It's more impressive then good, but isn't all a bad work, so I give an 8.
Give it a try, you might like.

This is one anime that I can describe like "It's funny".
It's really funny.
Looks like just another generical comedy anime about a college club, but the comedy and how the anime follows works very good.
Don't have a great history, I don't like when he tries to be serious, because the best thing here is the comedy. I know, I constaintly talking about the comedy, but is the only thing that caught on the anime.
Have a lot of good and insane characters, ends very well they sequences and the great point: the direction, because the director have a good time for jokes (what a surprise), have so ... many scenes that can make you laugh high and this is the shine of this anime.
It's a anime above average and works good what tries to make.
If you want a good comedy, watch it.
My note is 7 (almost a 8).

The quality of animation is awesome, I think this is the most beautiful art make by Bones and one of the best in all animes. Congratulations for studio Bones, they make a greatful job in all technical criterias.
All characters have a indescribable charisma, this is worth to Atsushi Ohkubo (manga autor) that makes the work so great.
This is one of the best enjoyment in a shounen anime that I've seen, the comedy, the actions scenes and the story works perfectly at least until episode 30-33 when the fillers started.
Trust me, this anime is the most example of how fillers can crash a anime and ... this is what makes me sick about it. If the anime follows the manga could be a top 10 anime, but unfortunately this don't happens.
The anime is not so bad, the fillers are better then much original anime ends, but when you read the manga you see how disappointing is the anime. I don't know why this happens (and I don't wanna know).
For me it's a 8, just for the first half of the anime, what I recommend is read the manga

All KyoAnimation animes has a great quality in the art, soundproofing and fluency, but Hyouka for me is the best in this senses.
The story is very simple, a lazy (and very clever) guy being dragged to solve mysteries by a girl's stubbornness. That's all the anime needs to be a good story.
Off course, isn't just about it, have a little dose of comedy and a good romance.
The way certain scenes were directed enhance the work, for example when Chitanda and Houtarou met for the first time. The four mainly characters have their own charisma, and the relations between them are whats makes the ... anime works.
The mysteries and how they are solved is very cool, the way then Houtarou arrives at his conclusions make the work something more intellectual than just a slice of life.
The enjoyment walks slowly and this follow the story.
It's a cool anime.
My final note is 8 (7.8) and why is a "low note" for something I said so wel.........



[SPOILERS ARRIVED!!!]l

The end is broaching. Sorry, this is the only word to describe what I feel about the end of Hoyuka. You watch all the anime and see how Houtarou is falling in love with Chitanda and the minimum you deserve is a declaration of love. And you see that, but it's just him dreaming and he chooses not to do this, Chitanda and Houtarou is the couple that I twisted the most to happen, it's absolutelly my favorite. The anime don't have a close end and if had probably should be my favorite romance and anime, but still a good work, so I recommend to watch

A work with a lot of potential, but that was thrown in the trash by working a protagonist without charisma, deaths without purpose, a heroine who does things without meaning only to show how a yandere is (the fact of being mentally disturbed only shows how the author don't know how to work a character) and a climax that ends up leaving something to be desired.
I don't saying thats a bad work, but isn't too good yet.
Impresses a lot when you are starting to watch animes and it's a good start, but you will find better works.
It's a 5 (5.5).

The technicall quality is excellent (thaks KyoAnimation), the dubbing and beauty of the caracters, the right point of jokes, the "fights scenes" who humiliates many shounens around here and the construction of striking scenes.
It's funny mainly when you watch and think "Oh God, I've Chu2 when I was young", not just for that, but the anime is really funny, i think that once a time you gonna laugh with Rinka or Dekomori. I freak love the ending (because i love when the seiyus sings).
The anime walks in just a comedy and for nothing makes drama and that caught me off guard, today is not great ... thing, but I've cried with Dekomori words because like I said I had chu2 at 9-12 years old. The anime works and make Chu2 something great.
The couple of the work is one of my favorites, i think they're really cute together, the "another couple" it's cute too and make the anime more funny.
My note is a 9 (9.1).
