It didn't quite have the same vibes as last episode, but damn all the shots of Oreki looking Chitanda up were killer That PV at the end... was that Virtual-On?

To reiterate, the show will be having 22 episodes in total, which adds up to the BD count (11 BD, 2 episodes each). The final episode is apparently airing as normal as well on the 16th.

I think this episode confirms that Eru is actually quite cunning under that naive exterior of hers, and that goes back to at least the hotsprings episode, and maybe before. I more and more think at least on some level, Eru knew that her ability in even the first episode to get Oreki to indulge her curiosity went beyond exasperation, and involved his physical inability to resist his attraction toward her. Part of her hyper aggressiveness before was just her quirky personality, but it seemed to also be a convenient way for her to get physically close to Oreki with some degree of plausible deniability (which I think she's still too bashful to do without)--ep. 19 was the most spectacular example of that. But the kimono scene showed her relying not so much on masking what she wanted to do with her eccentricities, and on a more straightforward form of flirting. And I think it's clear Oreki is responding well to it. Him carrying things for her was a nice touch.

I can see why a lot of people see it differently, but I simply see her offer of using her obi as just what it is. She simply try to provide the last option. It's not like she'll be completely naked if her kimomo comes off. It does, however, shows that she trust him enough to rather let him see her wrapped in a loose kimono than letting the rumor spread. Or she just value her family's image more than her dignity. Or both. |

Well that was a slow of me. I only noticed up until now that Kaho's VA is the same as Ayase's VA(Oreimo). No wonder she sounds familiar.
On a side note it's too bad Kaho didn't get much screen time in this series. Both her and Irisu are the ones I consider to look really good. |

Eru's not doing it on purpose, at least not on any conscious level, but I think that Hyouka as a show is pretty deliberately scattering these little tidbits for shipper consumption. |

Oh god. The ship-teasing is reaching unbearable levels. This is especially painful since we know that it won't be going anywhere.
Other than that, a wonderful episode. This is likely the closest we've gotten to a true slice-of-life series (please bear with me for using the term) in, maybe, a few years. The portrayal of Japanese culture and tradition, particularly that of New Year, in this episode was just excellent. There's just something in shows like these that allow you to appreciate the world around you. All-in-all, I'm glad to see the episode pay attention to the little intricacies in the nature of Japanese society. It really gives you a feel of how far away their world is from ours. That aside, I also enjoyed it for some golden interactions between Eru and Houtarou.

From what I remember of my own teenage years, there was a lot of awkward obliviousness to the flirting I did, but I still did it, even if I didn't fully realize it. |

Man, Chitanda kimono was out of this world! When they got locked in the shed I was hoping that Chitanda and Oreki would chuddle up with each other to keep warm
Only one episode left

You know what also struck me about this episode, now that I think about it? Chitanda's social graces and polish. When she has to (i.e. when representing her family), she seems more than capable of fulfilling her responsibilities, even though her "normal" personality at school is so different. I know a lot of people were negative on her character starting out, since she seemed to be there just to be cute and zany (I honestly would have been fine with that), but I'm impressed how the writers have fleshed out her character considerably. For me, the writers started to show more explicitly that she had real smarts during the film arc, when she played such a crucial role in figuring out the real story behind the movie script. Chitanda is clearly not some autistic savant who has a photographic memory but can't analyze the raw data in a coherent fashion. And in ep. 19, she really does help Oreki out with her questions and criticism when they're figuring out the counterfeiting case. Last edited by Aquifina; 2012-09-05 at 19:40. |

It would be nice if they gave Kaho more development and screen time. She gives off a unique elegant vibe and comes from the same society as Erisu and Eru minus being manipulative or ditsy moeblob. What makes her unique is how she can tease or you could take it as flirting. Maybe she hides a mischief personality that you couldn't tell just by looking. Satoshi did state that Kaho "is too much for him to handle" and she made Oreki show a face reaction we haven't seen him do before. I think i rewatched that scene over a few times lol
Also she is a Meganekko and looks cute as a Miko XD Last edited by Pen3; 2012-09-06 at 16:47. Reason: Excuse my grammar i am typing with my phone. |

Kaho-san already caught my eye during the Kanya Festival as a cute fortune-teller but seeing her in her full miko attire was delightful! It must be said that KyoAni has a great talent for drawing pretty girls. Even the mob characters during the Kanya Festival arc were such cuties!

I found it curious how Kaho asked about Satoshi by name but couldn't remember Mayaka's easily, too bad I don't think we'll be given more details on how they are related.
