Anime 2018 in a nutshell5/2/2024 ![]() One of the most recognizable things about the show is the animation. A manga adaptation was created in 2012 by Taskohna, with the 22-episode anime by Kyoto Animation following soon after. The series is based off of a 2001 mystery novel written by Honobu Yonezawa, book one out of six, the other five books being published between 20. Together they try and solve various mysteries around school, mostly at Eru’s request. He is joined by Chitanda Eru, Satoshi Fukube, and Mayaka Ibara. The plot of Hyouka follows high school student Hotaro Oreki, someone who hates expending energy on anything, who is forced by his older sister into joining the Classic Lit Club to keep it from going defunct. I have to say, it’s a really interesting show, and one that may make it onto my list of ones I come back to again and again. It follows students being students, solving the kind of mysteries that matter to them in the moment. It’s a slice of life show, a school life show, and a romance. ![]() It isn’t like any mystery show I had experienced, after all there’s no murder, no real crime to solve. ![]() But going into Hyouka with this background made a bit confused as to how exactly this series was considered a mystery. It’s something I’ve grown to love over time, a love passed from my dad to me. It was and still is, in some ways, a staple in my household to sit down every once and a while and watch those old shows. One of The Thin Man movies was sure to pop up on our TV at some point every week. I grew up on old black and white murder mysteries from the 40s and 50s. I knew it was a mystery series and I had seen the occasional clip here and there, but it definitely wasn’t the kind of mystery I was used to. I’m not sure what I expected going into Hyouka.
