Ep 5
Very good episode. The fact there was no opening and ending songs made it more effective. Rather than dragging it for 10 episodes more, Houtarou expressing his feelings and having doubts about the gray/rosy life is excellent character growth. I believe the whole mystery is essentially simple: guy got expelled for taking the blame. But the way its presented (loved the quick flahsbacks of the librarian's life!) along with the metaphor of rabbits and dogs and the pun, in addition to the importance of family status earlier displayed and how this could shame him made Sekitani Jun's actions a "sacrifice" with a powerful impact. I don't know the ice cream song, but I admit I paused for a moment and thinked about the pun, only to yell loudly "It's I SCREAM!". In the room. By myself. This show made me proud of myself.

It's pretty amusing watching people get "......are you serious?" vibe with this arc's revelation.
It's the same as the reaction I had when I read that part of the novel. On a side note I have already watched that last scene for quite a few times now. Can't get enough of the atmosphere it had. The BGM for that part really complimented it well. I really really can't wait to get my hands on the OST. I just hope they don't do it ala Nichijou where it's bundled together with the LE BD/DVD. |

The show is scheduled for 21 episodes. I'm assuming there will be different mysteries in the coming episodes. But I think there's a chance that eventually, it might revisit this mystery. There's still the fact that the uncle has gone missing for 7 years in India, and the missing first volume...

Ep 5 was very well done.
I must admit that as a whole I thought the adaptation of Volume One of the novels in the last 5 eps was also very well done. It neither felt too rushed nor too slow - KyoAni has done a very good job thus far, and the series has unexpectedly and in an unlooked for manner suddenly launched itself into my most anticipated series slot. I only hope they can keep up the pace!

As to thoughts on the episode itself . . . I liked it. It used all those guns put upon the mantle from clear back in Episodes 1 and 2. The animation, as always, is hard to describe without using breathless superlatives. Sekitani Jun's flipping of the bird across the generations with a bad English pun was pretty awesome too.

Seems like they are going to do 4 novels without volume 5 then. Amazing how they can make 5 episodes from a slightly over-200 page book, and in such a classy manner. And to top if off, it has such a great OP, I usually skip the OP, but no longer.

Kyoani have really shown here their quality in their own animes. I have to admit I was impressed.
I reckon the actual novel is actually quite wordy and Kyoani managed to bring all those backstory to life, specially the librarian's past. Now I am a little fuzzy but can someone explain to me why Chitanda cried at her uncle's reply (and what was it exactly). I get the "I scream" part but I can't link the two together. |

My understanding is that if you wanted to translate "hyouka" 「氷菓」 from Japanese into English, you'd probably say "iced desserts" or "ice candy." But if you wanted to reverse things and translate "ice cream" from English into traditional, non-westernized Japanese, "hyouka" is probably the best option, since there really is no non-western Japanese equivalent. So if Jun Sekitani wanted a way of saying "ice cream" without saying "aisu kuriimu," "hyouka" seems to be as good a translation as any. Last edited by Upscaled; 2012-05-22 at 10:51. Reason: grammar |
