I would really love it the show gave some backstory as to how Hotarou came to practice his "energy conservation" lifestyle. If not, a nice soliloquy would work just fine.
It would do wonders for his character's credibility, I believe.

Considering how active his sister seems to be, you could maybe look at that as an explanation if you want to guess at why he tries to conserve energy . |

I think someone purpose this theory before. From his comment about his sister in episode 7, I think his energy conservation lifestyle and his insistence on "I'm average" may come from the fact that he was constantly overshadowed by his sister when he was younger. Because there is nothing he can do better than his sister, he think he's average and give up trying.

Have to say the latest episodes have certainly ramped things up in terms of showing Houtarou's interest in Chitanda. That impressive ability to visualize things burned him in the hot springs. Can debate on romantic interest, but at the very least have a necessary attraction there .

At the moment, Houtarou holding romantic feelings towards Eru is debatable, but it certainly seems to be headed in that direction. With a 24-episode long anime, I'd be disappointed if this issue isn't addressed sooner or later.

Seriously, if Hotarou was of the other gender, there'll be people calling him/her a Rei Clone. |

I make the remark of Rei-Clone, because early on, quite a few leveled the charge of Generic Harem Protagonist at Oreki. Which he is not. Far from that in fact. Nor am I calling Oreki a generbent version of one. But he is a male Kuudere (outwardly of course, not in his internal monologues) - or rather, his internal thought processes are a plausible one for a Kuudere. |

Male Kuudere... fascinating idea. Outside of a handful of bishis, I haven't seen a lot of that. And it's very rare to see a narrative from a Kuudere character-perspective, be it a male Kuudere or a female one.
Yes, I have to agree, Oreki is like a male version of a Kuudere.

He's gaining popularity as one of the most liked male characters - enough to spark crossover pairings with him.
Those of you who trawl all over the Internet will get what I mean
