Hyouka - Part 1 - Standard (DVD)

Love the story line grumpy teen with energy issues (basically if involves any effort he cant be bothered) gets coerced into joining the classic literature club by his sister a former member to prevent it being closed... Joined by a few curious friends ( a ditzy, a hyper and self styled data base ) they get involved in slightly mysterious events tracking down past histories around the school, it appears he has a talent for investigation or just knotting together the threads his friends present him.....Good animation too, am waiting for the second half 25th June so not long

Great release by Anime Limited. Hyouka is one of my favorites, and this collector’s edition definitely does this show justice. A little pricey, but very much worth it.

Slice of life, action, romance anime with mysteries to be solved.

One of the best kyoani anime ever and overall one of my favourite!School slice of life with investigation, very nice visual, nice characters!A must buy imo!

Before I talk about the Anime itself, this box set is great! The artwork is very nice and I love the overall layout Anime Limited incorporates into these releases.If you want an Anime that involves mystery solving with a likeable cast of characters, then I definitely recommend this series, especially if you like detective shows or stories, like Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie's work. They even pay homage to said works in the series! The way the show makes smaller-scale mysteries interesting is pretty neat! My personal favourite mystery case is episodes 8-11 (the school movie murder mystery arc). The deduction skills of the main character are excellent and the way they're shown visually is inventive! Overall, it's a very good Anime and I can't wait to own Part 2 in this collection. The show looks wonderful on Blu-Ray too, but with Kyoto Animation's stunning art style, that's to be expected.Side note: I absolutely love the 2nd ending credits sequence to Hyouka, which we will get once Part 2 is released. It's Sherlock Holmes themed and it's great!
