I like Hyouka a lot, and it's easily my favorite KyoAni series, but it's very low on the list of "stuff I think is so good that everyone should try it", which is the metric I use when it comes to ranking things in a vacuum.
Hyouka definitely isn't for everyone.
It's only for good people.

So Mike, whatcha watching ne...
I can't describe how sad and angry this makes me feel. He'll never watch anime again.

Gundam SEED 13
Between that kiss and the episode preview, I'm about to lose my mind. This is not okay. Sai did nothing wrong.
Wasn't the entire point of descending to make sure they didn't get Strike? What was the point in sending it out? That's so counterproductive it hurts. Also, Kira now has a reason to fight?

This... is blasphemy.
I know you haven't watched all of Mushishi yet. This is voter fraud.

Log Horizon
I started watching Log Horizon when it first aired but dropped it after a few eps. I don't why since I didn't hate what I saw, but I guess I just lost interest. With Season 2 fast approaching I thought I would go back and bingewatch the whole series. Finished it in 2 days. The first arc is definitely the weakest point of the series, since it's the dreaded "rescue" arc, and in my opinion those are never done well. Going over the initial arc brought me to what the best part of the series is, the excellent world building. Learning so much about the world of Elder Tale and how it operates, as well as the history of the world and how it coincides with its gameness, also seeing how everyone adjusted to this not being just a game but their new home got me really engaged with the plot. Cool battle sequences and generally good animation that made me shocked to find out that it was DEEN of all things that made this. I will also say this: This is one of the few anime out their where I didn't hate any of the characters in it (sans the ones you are supposed to hate). All in all an excellent series. Can't wait to go back into he Database soon.

I'd say the economy, the world building and Shiroe make the series. Shiroe definitely helps because there have been protagonists before that the general population hates/fears, but the fact he continues to stick around in the shadows and just wins at life with tactics is amazingly entertaining

Shiroe's one of my favorite protagonists because it's rare to see a shounen protag that uses his brain and underhanded tactics rather than just stab at things. Seeing him go full super villain is immensely entertaining.

DEEN is the studio behind the upcoming season. It was Satelight which did the first season.
In Russian.
Gundam SEED 14
Kinda weird that the first coordinator had to upload how he became one on the net. If it was really like that I wouldn't doubt that he wasn't the absolute first, but the first recorded one.
I'd be able to enjoy this series despite its flaws, but Flay's inferiority complex regarding Coordinators and her hidden agenda is unforgivable.
Oh hey, that girl from episode 1 is back...

If she's with them, then doesn't that make the professor or whomever an insider and is the one who took the photos?

Hyouka 2 (rewatch):
Mayaka was introduced in this episode. I always liked the Mayaka/Satoshi dynamic. A one sided romance between a relatively plain girl and relatively plain guy, it's not something you see often in anime, or, hell, in fiction. The source material deserves more credit for this than KyoAni, but even so, we've all seen shows or movies where a good source material didn't result in a good adaptation. KyoAni could've turned the characters into caricatures, and they didn't.
One of the things many people commented on while watching Hyouka was KyoAni experimenting with different art styles for certain narration sequences. I wish they would do more of that these days.
For a series grounded in reality, Hyouka frequently ventured into the realm of the fantasy during its wordless metaphors. It had an amazing visual language for serialized television.
Many people who watched Hyouka saw a dull slice of life anime, which isn't an unfair judgement on a surface level. Hyouka, however, didn't win NeoGAF AOTY 2012 off the strength of its plot. It was always the amount of effort KyoAni placed in the little details that set Hyouka apart from other anime.

Well I can tell you she appears less later on.

FLAY IS NEVER GOING TO STOP
until they get someone even worse in Destiny.
These moments are great because KyoAni is flexing their animation talent. One thing Hyouka did well was setting the mood with their lighting.
Hyouka 3 (rewatch):
After the fake confession scene
, Chitanda asks Oreki to help her retrieve a lost memory. Oreki is initially uninterested, but after seeing Chitanda's desperation, he beings to pity her and relents to her request. There was a small sequence here that I thought was a very nice touch in showing how Oreki gets lost in thought when it comes to Chitanda
After the fake confession scene
FUCK YOU KYOANUS
moe~
Oreki sips from his cup of coffee.
After a few sips.
Oreki sips again, cup is maybe half full.
Rose-tinted dream sequence.
Oreki tries to sip his coffee, but realizes it's empty. He drank all of it while pondering Chitanda's request and didn't even notice it.
