I would have liked Hyouka somewhat if the two girls are not so bloody annoying. Specially the main girl. She's like written with the explicit and emphasized direction of personifying what a 'cute girl' is supposed to be like. An embodiment of the softest and girliest cutesy girl ever.

I like cute girls in real. But that girl just annoys me to no end. I felt as if her cutesy personality was super made-up and it was shoved so rigorously onto my face at every opportunity she's on screen.
The mysteries themselves are low key, which I enjoy. Cuz I like low-key anime, like Mushishi, but Hyouka was just bleargh.
