Whoa...this was definitely a spiritual reboot of Hyouka. Just some rather disorganised thoughts that occurred to me during the episode:

  • Definitely not as much as a fan of Kobato and Osanai as I was of Houtarou and Eru, but they're good enough to keep me watching.
  • Backgrounds seem to have more animation than Hyouka, but maybe that's just a byproduct of 13 years since Hyouka originally aired in 2011.
  • The ED is...one of the EDs of summer, for sure. Love the shoutout to Hyouka with the shot of the staircase (pictured below). But the song is just jarring in a way that I'm not sure will ever grow on me. We shall see, however.
  • Would love to see the source material for this become available in the west. While the series is a tad old, having started on 24 December 2004, the same link reveals the most recent entry in the series as having been published on 30 April...of this year! Holy shit...
