with how the anime is going rite now, it feels it will just end without any climax or super mystery, last episode will probably have them doing whatever, and than it just ends out of no where.

I don't know about "doing whatever". It might not end in a crazy high-suspense climax, but that doesn't mean it can't close the anime in a satisfying way. Oreki's character development has probably nearly finished anyway, and it doesn't really need a huge mystery to change that.

It might end with some self-realization on Oreki's part and a confession

. We might get something like episode 21, except much more low-key. I can't imagine a huge conflict on Oreki and Chitanda's side after all, as opposed to Satoshi and Mayaka's side where there were some latent issues that needed to be resolved.

This anime has yet to really disappoint me, it's a masterpiece in terms of everything that isn't the script or plot, and even in that regard it's in my opinion a standout of its genre. The degree of subtlety some dialogues and episodes can achieve far surpass the anime mean, which is far more theatrical, and I find it to be extremely fitting for this kind of low-key, ambiance relying show.

Surely the ending won't be bad. It may not be the greatest possible outcome, but I'm sure it will be at least as entertaining as the better episodes of Hyouka.

I only started watching it last night but im already really enjoying it. Cant't wait for more!

Finally, someone released a translated manga. Some crucial clue has been left out though. Probably a mistake from the mangaka. But really, Houtarou was so grey back then.

Can anyone make a basic timeline of when each ep happens?

I only can figure out these

1st ep - around April
ep 21 - February the next year
ep 22 - March 3rd

This timeframe from the eyecatch by ultimatemegax (hope you don't mind me posting it) will be a great guideline:

No problems here. I was shocked that no one was commenting on the timeframe of the series. Once I saw that episode 22 was in March, I knew instantly that this anime was composed to only cover their first year. It's very fitting IMO. I also like that the short stories span the year as well in novel 4 (1.5, 6,7,19-22). It's important enough that the JP wiki mentions the solar term in each episode's eyecatch.

Never thought of it until Oreki mentioned about the incident in April, and then I realised Girl's Day is in March.

Not sure if these have been posted before (or if there are better pages), but here are two pages of photos of "holy places" seen in the anime, and a Google map.

How are the DVD/BD sales of Hyouka doing? I kind of want to know so that we can know if there's a chance Kyoani will do something similar to this. This series is a treat.

Averaging close to 10k on Oricon sales (which are not 100% of total amount sold). Easily a profitable show. One can wonder how it would've sold if Kadokawa decided against their 2-episodes a disc practice.
