This one spans over six episodes so it keeps you occupied for a while, especially as you get to see all the different, exciting clubs available at the high school! Oh no! Things are going missing from all the different clubs during the Kan’ya Festival with only a cryptic note from the thief left behind…īy this far into the series, we’re all trying to solve the mysteries that pop up throughout the series. It was interesting to learn too that ‘hyouka’ (meaning ice-cream) is a pun that the Classics Club came up with on the English phrase ‘I scream.’

I like that all the club members get involved in this mystery – coming up with their own conclusions and trying to help solve the case. I loved watching Oreki solve this mystery! It really makes you think, and his end conclusion of the cameraman actually being a character is quite out-of-the-box thinking… However, after solving this case, Oreki admits that he could have been wrong – as no-one can ever truly know the exact intentions of a scriptwriter (or event artist, author etc.) without them explaining what they are.Īfter the Classics Club is re-established by Eru, she reveals that her agenda is to discover the origins of Hyouka, the official publication of the club with a 45-year history, to find out more about her uncle’s life when he was a part of the club during his own high school years. But when they realise that the mystery-murder movie is incomplete and the script writer is away from school sick, it becomes a test of Oreki’s abilities to solve the mystery of which character in the film is the murderer. In this mystery, the Classics Club is invited to an exclusive preview to a film made by the students in Class 2-F for an assignment.

Eru Chitanda (to be said with sparkling, wide eyes): I’m… curious!
