====== Hyouka ======

===== Review =====
[{{ https://files.catbox.moe/xdut7a.jpg |Living a rosy life.}}]\\
Hyouka is about a guy named **Houtarou** who spends his time unwillingly solving inconsequential mysteries. He does it at the behest of **Chitanda** who is very curious.\\
It's a fairly standard slice-of-life with mystery elements. Although, it does keep hinting at supernatural happenings... but nothing supernatural happens. This came to annoy me more over time, but never enough to "//ruin//" the experience for me.\\
Some thematic elements also annoy me. <wrap spoiler>Such as during the Juumoji arc, which is largely about talent... but since I //fundamentally// disagree with how they view it... yeah, I'm not the biggest fan.</wrap>\\
The mysteries are fairly interesting... although I hesitate to call them "good" because a lot of the evidence is revealed last minute or //after// it's solved by Houtarou, making them hard or impossible to solve (an issue I observe with many mystery series).\\
The //emotion//, characters and animation all keep it afloat though.\\
While this review may make it seem like I dislike the series... I do enjoy it a lot and recommend it. I dunno, these things just annoy me.
