YuruYuri?
People arguing over a boring show followed by glorious bunnygirl discussion.
Basically nothing much.
Yami?
Your sacrifice has been noted.
*Dark Knight quote*
I gleaned as much, although there were some interesting takes on Hyouka to be found. I found it compelling viewing personally, but it's perfectly understandable why some outright dislike it. After all, it's a show that practically dwells in the minutiae of everyday interactions, which can be exercise in frustration (for many)!
But that's maybe being a bit reductive about the scope of the whole thing, although I'm treading familiar ground at this point, so I'll stop.
She makes a better March Hare.
You know, from that position you could totally see her ass from behind. Anime girls always do this, nobody would stick their ass out that far in a tiny skirt. They do this to me, and they don't even bother to show me the goods. UGGHggymq
Surely, this is a sign that you should be living in a post-ignore world?
Ignore is no fun.
Its more interesting to simply annoy those people.
Within the scope of forum rules of course.
Im tsundere for Hyouka.
Its not bad really.
It was a bit boring but I got some enjoyment from it.
Not like they have control of their assess.
The distinction between a post-ignore world and an ignore-post world is just an artifact of western linguistic imperialism. Discuss.

This is getting way too deep for me.
I think the problem with Hyouka that I have is that it tried to drum up excitement with incredibly mundane situations.
Chitanda's curiosity was almost a vehicle to force the audience to care about mysteries that very few people would actually give a shit about.
A locked door? A wrong lesson plan?
Who gives a shit?

Sometimes, there are moments when I sit and realize... I just jerked off to something that another guy made, for me to jerk off to...
Having read the first volume of the manga a few days ago
(... and SDBurton really should check it out, if you catch my drift)
Are both adaptations taking their own liberties, is one of them significantly closer to the novel... I have no idea. I'd try and check, but I'd rather avoid spoilers for the time being...
[Hyôka]
While it does tell us why Irisu didn't simply ask, I still wonder why the main cast didn't at least point that out in the first place...
We all do things we're not proud of.
Speaking of which, I should really start drawing again.

Well I assume that there has to be some differences from the original source material to allow it to work as episodes of a TV series considering how different both mediums are.
books
[Shin Sekai yori]
Pretty big ones, here, though. For example, the manga's version of the recent developments:
no info dump about the old world or genetic manipulations at all, no monk showing up, the kids don't lose their powers, they're attacked by the foreign bakenezumi but are not separated, they all reach Squealer's colony together...
same can be said about any porn
Hunter x Hunter 2011 54
This episode was awesome. They handled everything from the reunion to
and the predictions perfectly. The scene with
was simply sublime in its execution and even surpassed one of my all-time favourite moments in the original adaptation. Even the animation stood out as the most mundane things like the talking heads, eating food, and even handing pieces of paper to each other were animated incredibly lively throughout the entire episode. Great stuff.

the text message
I will say, it's far more awkward realizing someone jerked off to something you made than realizing who made what you jerked off to. Especially when it isn't intended to be porn.
she told you? seems odd
You dropped the ball on this one, dude.

I have the same problem with my facebook pictures of me.
Maybe he wanted to drop the ball?
Also acceptable.

It's common courtesy, really.
draw from memory and post it
I don't agree with all of your criticism (in fact, with some of the critiques, I'm kind of curious what standard you're using for this show), but I think this is actually a pretty valuable insight.
In pretty much every episode of Hyouka (at least in the early going and the final run), a problem arises early on in the episode, and it's solved by the end. The structure isn't all that different from any sort of mystery serial. If you compare the pace at which Psycho-Pass resolves its cases, for example, it's basically the same as Hyouka.
The difference is that Psycho-Pass is a sci-fi show where there are criminals and murderers and there are future guns and stuff, while Hyouka is about a locked door or a teacher's mistake or a student film. These mundane mysteries are treated with as much urgency (and paced as quickly) as matters of life or death.
I think that most of the cases are handled as well as one could want. The presentation is absolutely top-notch. But if the viewer doesn't really care about the case itself, then it's boring to watch, no matter how well it's directed and animated. I think it's totally fair to argue that the writing doesn't give the viewer reason to invest their interest in the events onscreen. Maybe that's an impossible task.
I enjoyed Hyouka (I'm not as enthusiastic about it as some here seem to be), but the characters were always what came first. The mysteries drove events forward, but the most interesting thing about the show was how everyone reacted to the mystery itself, the process of solving it, and whatever the solution turned out to be. Part of what made the festival arc so strong is that those early episodes weren't about any mystery at all. Just watching the characters do their thing and deal with whatever personal problems they encountered was more fulfilling to me than seeing Oreki deal with whatever curiosity Chitanda had in her mind.
Now that I think about it, curly, would you say that you would have preferred it if the show were more slice-of-life (i.e. about nothing), with less focus on mysteries?
The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall 3-4
Episode 3 and 4 brought in some embarrassingly stupid moments and managed to get me to dislike Sorata somewhat. He acted like a cretin more than once, though at least in the end he redeemed himself.
Another aspect I've liked of the show so far is that there is only one girl that has feeling for the dumb guy, while the other only has an interest of sort (which will become something more, I'm sure).
