I agree with ahelo about Hyouka being layers upon layers of characterization. It has a clear direction to go, abeit very slowly. I know you didn't label Hyouka as "just" a slice-of-life, but I always feel a little strange when someone called Hyouka that. It's like when someone call Evangelion a mecha show I guess. It is, but not quite.
