Chitanda thinking it was a mixed bath and being okay with it... Oreki perfectly recreating a mental picture of her getting into the bath...
...Huh? What? Oh yeah, the story for this episode is good as well, tying together both the main mystery and the subplot about siblings. P.S - I'm surprise Oreki didn't make a crack about little sisters not always being cute...

Eru's face thrusts on Hotarou are almost into self-parody territory now. And the elder sister Rie had a face thrust of her own. Eru better watch out, someone else is encroaching on her territory.
Also, about Hotarou being at least a bit infatuated with Eru: I thought he popped a boner there when she touched his face after he passed out in the bath. Hence why he curled up in the fetal position. |

I like how they have Mayaka next to Eru and have a face that seems to say "I know Chi-chan's face and eyes will work on you, but let me just add mine to make it really certain." It would be perfect if they made Mayaka gave enthusiastic nods as Eru said that. We also have plenty of their relationship development this week. While it may not be down right in love yet, Houtarou is now clearly conscious of the fact that he has a girl who're very close to him. We also see that Eru start to understand more about Houtarou's behavior. On their second walk to the onsen, she noticed his eyes casted down a little and kept quite. I interpreted that as she came to understand that he was already thinking. So she didn't press him any further. Next week, we'll finally get to the next big arc? Looking forward to it. |

That's actually a pretty typical rural onsen ryokan. I stayed in one in Hirayu (about an hour from Takayama, where Hyouka is based) that reminds me a lot of this one.

Do wonder if Houtarou becoming much more aware of Chitanda is going to factor into the bigger mystery of this arc or not. The last two episodes have seemed to make it more noticeable after all.

Obvious Oreki x Chintanda shipping is obvious .
Anyways, this was a significant improvement from the last episode. Perhaps it was my expectation, because honestly I was just expecting a fanservice ep. Oh we still got fanservice. No doubt for that since Oreki fainted at the imagination of seeing what Chintanda was like naked in an Onsen. Lazy prick aside from aside from when it comes to pleasing Eru with her satiation for solving mysteries and ahem... perving eh? Apart from that, quite enjoyed the ep. The mystery was decent and of a similar calibre from previous eps and the visuals and attention to detail were excellent per usual. Although I am still dissappointed chooses to be limited in what they do in terms of diversification, I do appreciate that they are genuine with this series. They don't pretend it's some deep mystery series that's supposed to blow your mind. In other words, it's as far as pretentious as you can get. I also appreciate it isn't (aside from Chintanda herself and her DEM PURPLE EYES and KIMI NI ARIMASU running joke, which to be honest is getting really old now) exaggerated in its moe or how it portrays its comedy (it isn't slapstick). However, I read your full blog post on LiA too Guardian and I have to disagree on your comparison to Shinkai. Shinkai aside from having excellent visuals invokes a really mesmerizing melancholic and bittersweet atmosphere which I cannot be said in any way (aside from the Hyouka OP, which I still believe is very inappropriate) for Hyouka. Hyouka is genuine, light-hearted, but if I had to criticize it of something other than "lacklustre" mysteries (which I think I'll stop criticizing it from that point from now on because now I believe this series isn't meant to be one, like K-on isn't supposed to be a music anime) is the lack of purpose and lack of a central conflict. Really, in the end, what is the point of Hyouka? In the case of Shinkai films, they all revolve around the theme of distance. In other big name slice of life in the past season such as Hanasaku Iroha the central theme was of Ohana coming of age. In Ano Hana, it is about letting go of the past. In Ano Natsu, it was about relationships. Natsuiro Kiseki it's about friendship. Hyouka? I still have no idea what the series point is. Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2012-06-04 at 07:01. |

Welp, there's no more doubt Houtarou is attracted to Eru now. Nice fantasy by the way.
The animation quality was top notch once again. The attention to details is amazing (you can see Houtarou's ribs when he leans over). Everybody's always talking about Eru's eyes, but her hair is the sex as well. That ponytail (*´Д`)ハァハァ There's her voice too... I really can't blame Houtarou for being mesmerized by her. Not much to say about the mystery. It was run of the mill once again and I figured most of it out as soon as I saw the girl in her yukata.

I thought the show made it quite clear that its about the growth of Houtarou more than anything else, and the mysteries are vehicles for the character's growth. The OP itself is pretty blatant on the whole "Houtarou in the rain looking pissed off as hell but eventually the clouds clear and he sees 'the light'" symbolism coupled with Eru pulling him out of the club room to do stuff as a club.
And my guess is his character development certainly doesn't end after the events of the whole uncle thingy. As the last few episodes have indicated he still have uncertainties and issues to work out such as his low confidence. With the next "big"(hahaha) arc looming by, I'm fairly sure more of it will be addressed. Episode 7: - I expected rays of light or heavy steam throughout the episode, then I remembered from Fumoffu and Haruhi that they don't do that. In the end fan-service of Eru was pretty mild, and there was none of Mayaka. Houtarou and Satoshi on the other hand both got to show off the curves of their body, which I'm sure played a part in the DVD-preorder rankings spike. - And as I expected, there were plenty of homosexual lusting on the guys side. I have heard rumors before that Takemoto is gay...

OTP.
I figured out the shadow as soon as the yukata showed up, but everything else completely flummoxed me. Especially the windows being opened. Well played, Hyouka. Also, I have to say my favorite moment, just because it's my kind of humor, was Chitanda briefly uttering a hint of disappointment that the baths weren't mixed, and then immediately dropping the subject. WAIT WAT? |
