Score: 8/10

I watched this anime last year so don't remember everything clearly. But overall I was pleasantly surprised. The animation was decent and the characters were enjoyable to follow. The slice of life style of the anime made it particularly enjoyable to watch. I would definitely rate this 8 out of 10. While the animation was pretty good, it was enough to serve the story and the characters well. I found the characters to be particularly well developed and engaging, making it a joy to watch. The comedy and lightheartedness of the anime also made it an easy watch and I very much enjoyed it. ... All in all, this is a solid 8/10 and worth watching if you're looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable comedy slice of life anime.

"When you think "high school life", the word "rose-colored" comes to mind. And when you think
"rose-colored" comes to life.
Well its relatable to all of us right. Hyouka describe high school life as rose-colored and i really like the fact that they do that. It was enough for me to get hyoed about this show and it didn't disappoint me.

I will talk about four things and i will talk about the first the story, character, animation, sounds amd than i will tell you it's negatives and positives from my experience. And a final verdict and i will also give you some alternative recommendation ... for it. So without any delay lets jam into it.

Story:- The story was good I won't say its bad but story isn't the best thing about it. The main protagonist Oreki Houtarou is a type of person who conserve energy and tries to avoid doing things that he doesn't need to do. Well that's not the case anymore after he met a girl named Eru chitanda, a girl who gets curious about anything. By the request of his sister he joined the classic club and from there the story starts. After joining the club oreki's two friends also joins the club what happens after this you will see in the anime. Though the story is slow paced at the start but gets better later at the story.

Characters:- There are four major characters in this group first the main protagonist of the story Oreki Houtarou than the ever so curious Eru Chitanda and Oreki's two other friends being Fukube Satoshi and Ibara Mayaka. Characters and the character development are one of the better things of this show. I really love the characters and they are fun.

Animation:- Kyoto Animation did it's job here the visuals are awesome the animation overall is great and sometimes it left me speechless. Well you will expect this from Kyoto animation. Right?

Sounds:- Well when it comes to the sound they were overall great. I really like OP1 of this show and EDs too. I don't have anything other that this to say. Don't think that sounds are bad btw.

Positives:- I really liked everything about this show. Especially the characters (especially oreki and Chitanda lol) and the animation at first i felt a bit bored about it but than it became better. You will really enjoy this. The characters are awesome and the animation is spectacular. The characters are relatable too. You will really enjoy this. For those high schoolers you will be relatable with the characters and those of you want to enjoy a series without any supernatural things than this is good. The high school life here in this show is said to be rose-coloured and i really like this thing.

Negatives:- Hyouka is not for everyone. Maybe some people will think that the mysteries are not good, yeah true  the mysteries doesn't include cri.es or something you think. Well everyone will not like the mundane mystery here but i like the way they present it more than the mysteries itself. The ending too im not saying that the ending is bad. It was good and satisfied. But it left me with a curiosity about what will happen later at story. The story and mysteries maybe something but the characters and how they represent the mysteries were more than enough to make up for it.

[u]Final Verdict:-[/u]
This anime may not be for anyone and from what i said here you should know now that if this anime is for you or not. I really like this show or i should say i love it. It just what it is. Since people has different tastes some people may not agree with me. No offend for those who thinks hyouka is just an ok anime. But if you would like to watch a calming series with beautiful animation and just enjoy the your time than please give it a shot. Its a shame that many people don't appreciate it. But this is a really great show.

For alternative recommendation : Watch "My teen romantic comedy" if you want a same type of character and a calming series or watch "Gosick" if you want a mystery.


So that's it guys you now should know if this anime for you or not. If you like this show and want to know more about the story and characters than i will recommend you to read the novel from the start i recommend everyone to read something from the start if you are reading a novel. But if you want to continue from where the anime left than start from Volume 5 of the novel. Hope it helped you and you liked it. Stay frosty.

This is my first time writing a review but i will try my best.
Well so first what i wanna say that since everyone tastes are different so some people might not agree with me. But its okay. Naruto is a good anime. Many people hates it and many people loves some people think that this anime is average. But i actually like it. I talk about two things here that's the negatives and the positives and at the end of the review a final verdict for it. First a quick summary. I will try my best not to give any spoilers.

[size=90]summary[/size] :- The main character ... is Naruto Uzumaki. And the story is simple he wants to be the leader of his village means hokage because he wants the villagers to recognise him. Everyone in his village thinks he is a monster and see him as nothing but a brat.

Story:- Well Naruto is an overall good anime. For me its one of my top anime i ever watched. It was my first anime too. I already wrote the quick summary of it so you now have a bit of knowledge for it. The best thing i found about Naruto was the enjoyment. The enjoyment it gave me no other anime entertained me that much. It has its own positives and negatives i can't deny that. I found the story of it quite simple but it was enjoyable. I wouldn't say that it has the best storytelling but its still good many other anime does this better. Some people complain about the flashbacks well True but i think flashbacks are necessary here. The story is connected with their flashbacks there are character who has their own tragic backstory and if you want to understand them you have to watch the flashbacks it goes for villains too and why the villains became villain you need to know their backstory and than you will understand the story that's how the story was created theres a villain (antagonist) behind a villain. And that villain is the one who made the other villain a villain well it cofuse right but that's what it is you will know that when you watch the anime. I found almost every flashbacks good my favourite are [spoiler]Itachi's and sasuke's [/spoiler] story. Other flashbacks were also good but i felt a bit bored in [spoiler] obito's[/spoiler] backstory but it was still good because he was one of the villains. You might say what connection does the main story have with flashbacks like i said before if you want to understand the maim Story you need to watch the backstory. Every backstory connects with the main story the same goes for the main character he has a backstory too.

Character:- Well characters are not great but still they are good there is a lot of characters but all of them doesn't get enough screen time and one of the main secondary characters is pretty useless and was almost the whole series but became a bit useful at the end of the story the same goes for others all of them has decent character development. But i didn't focus on the secondary characters that much because i didn't think that was necessary if i know the main story and female characters many people says the female character were annoying maybe some of them but i didn't find them annoying or entertaining they just weren't boring. But when it comes to the main characters they were great and entertaining

Sounds:- Sounds were decent except for some OST's and OP, ED some of them are my all time favourites.

Animation:- The animation was good. I won't say that it was great and top tier. Because Naruto never fucused on animation it was action anime so the fight were absolutely one of the best in all of anime.

Positive:- The positives are its fighting. And the overall enjoyment. Its doesn't have the best animation or the best sounds well hear me out first its sounds aren't the best but they great. But it did good at what it should its fighting the fightings are easily top tier nobody can deny. The characters are overall good and i think you will enjoy almost every main secondary characters except one because she was useless almost the entire story. But others are great and their personality too.

Negatives:- Well it has a decent amount of negatives too. Its fillers and its flashbacks also the amount of time the other characters get. It has good amount of fillers but if you don't wanna watch it than just skip them if you are like me who only cares about the main story than you can skip it. Now the flashbacks well yeah as i said before you won't quite understand the main story if you skip the flashbacks more importantly the antagonists. Almost every antagonists have their flashbacks and the flashbacks shows why the turned villain. And the flashbacks are connected to the main story. If you skip the flashbacks than at the end of the story you might think why did this villain did this and you might won't understand some of parts of the main story. It has some plot holes too but if i talk about it than i have to give spoilers so that's entirely a different thing. And for the characters just don't care about them.

Final Verdict:- After reading all of this you might say that why did i rated it as 10/10. Well true. But that's because enjoyment. I never watched any anime that gave me as much enjoyment as Naruto. I watched Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. Hunter x Hunter has better power system than Naruto and a better storytelling too. Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood has a better storytelling than naruto. But all of them are nothing compared to Naruto when i think of enjoyments. Maybe im being biased here. Since Naruto was the first anime ever watched so its nostalgic. But im a person who cares about personal enjoyment over anything else. Because of the enjoyment i never noticed all of the other negatives and mistakes. Some people also compare about the fact that sometimes Naruto talks with antagonists, tell them that what they are doing is bad the shouldn't do it and nicknamed this as talk no jutsu. I didn't care about this actually because i don't care about such if it was entertaining 😅. If you are someone like me who only cares about the main story then skip the fillers. Some people might not have same opinions and tastes as mine but that's okay. That was all i had to say. Hope you enjoyed stay frosty.

For alternative recommendation:- Watch bleach, Hunter x Hunter.

So that was all i had to say guys. It might be a bit big. But i had to make it big to tell you the reason's why i like this show. It was my first review so i hope you enjoyed this. If you read the full thing than thank you very much.
(Sry for my bad English.😋)
