Synopsis

It's another regular day, with Houtarou Oreki sitting at home as usual; that is until his sister Tomoe ropes him into working as a lifeguard at the local swimming pool. Upon reaching the pool, Oreki coincidentally meets the other members of the Classics Club. Eru Chitanda notices that a white object that was on a woman's ear a while ago suddenly disappeared, which leaves her curious about the mystery behind it.

Hyouka: Motsubeki Mono wa features Oreki and the rest of the Classics Club as they have fun at the pool and solve the mystery that has piqued Chitanda's curiosity.

Ah, Hyouka OVA. A true masterpiece of the anime world, a shining beacon of intelligent storytelling and artistic excellence. Just kidding, it's just another anime about high school students.

The style of this anime is simply gorgeous. The animation is fluid and vibrant, and the attention to detail is truly breathtaking. From the lush scenery to the intricate character designs, everything is beautifully crafted and a feast for the eyes.

Overall, my enjoyment experience with this was one of pure delight. It's a beautifully crafted anime that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. If you're looking for an anime that will challenge your mind and warm ...

The Hyouka OVA is alright in context but massively confusing outside of it. The OVA takes place between episode 11 and 12 and ideally should be watched there. Watching it after the main anime or watching it without knowing the context can leave you very confused about the way characters are acting.

The story is not amazing. There's just one minor mystery which was obvious from the start and had pretty poor argumentation and logic behind it contrary to the rest of the anime. This was probably done for the sake of fanservice but it felt like poor taste.

The characters are the same AS ...

This fanservice pool episode adds nothing to the main series of Hyouka, in fact, I would argue that by heaping clichéd writing and unmotivated male gaze at boobs moments on the anime, it detracts. Not that these things are bad in and of themselves - but they're notoriously lacking in the rest of Hyouka, and they end up mixing very poorly with the rest of the series. Not only that, but the characters seem like pale caricatures of themselves.

There's no reason to watch this: if you want fanservice, there are better places to get it, and if you like Hyouka, it is unlikely that this ...
