You're only setting yourselves up for disappointment!
Hyouka Episode 3:
Right, if nothing else Kyoto Animation is proving to be the masters of putting out dull shit that makes me very tired from boredom. I have better things to do then watching the lazy jerk and the empty vessel try and solve the world's most trite mysteries. Moving on to a different show.

It also has straight in the title.
The last 6 episodes are the best, you can watch those as they're mostly selfcontained.
I know but there are so many people and I forget their names!
You should really watch until episode 5 for the conclusion on the "Hyouka" mystery.
Even if the anime isn't your thing, just power through it because the conclusion to episode 5 is incredible. Like, you can drop the show after that if you want, but you really ought to finish that part at least because it's legendary.

It's misdirection.
It's worth the risk. If you have nothing good to say about the show after episode 5, then it will truly be a show that wasn't for you.
I generally mirror your thoughts on this one, though maybe without so much venom but I do think the titular mystery might be worth watching. I'd venture to say it's the only "not trite" detective story in the show. It won't sway your feelings on the series but given that you already watched 3 episodes, you might as well watch 2 more.

It's more like the mysteries is damn trivial and minor in the beginning that people overlook it. I forgot when Hyouka started to shine, was it after the school broadcast announcement or the school festival?
You stopped today on her birthday? You monster.
Just watch the only decent part, the school festival arc. Skip to it because you won't really miss much.

If you guys didn't notice what was weird about this poster... (and i'm not sure how many of you could even tell the difference offhand)
Well, either the person who drew it has no concept of the size of mouthpieces, or, given their painstaking attention to detail so far...

that's a low brass mouthpiece, probably a euphonium mouthpiece. In her hands, that's way bigger than a trumpet mouthpiece.

All the Euphonium artwork is just there to bait people. I don't think that this confirms anything happening in the actual show.
We all know that. I'm just pointing out another subtle example of baiting people may not have picked up on if they aren't versed in brass mouthpieces.
It probably won't be your cup of tea at the end of the day so I guess it boils down to how much you want to impress the other posters in this thread. First few episodes can be painful to get through. It does get better I guess.

I mean if you actually hate Hyouka 3 episodes in then I'm already pretty sure you don't appreciate the direction. The mysteries aren't ever going to become anything bigger, as they're all relatively grounded. The characters have plenty depth and growth to them but...again, if you genuinely hate it so far, I have little faith that that's going to change much.

Tried to watch it 4 times and once I got to episode 5. Didn't like that either and I watch almost every KyoAni series (except Free). Even worse than getting through Steins;Gate horrible beginning which has a very good payoff.

Lupin (Red Jacket) - Episode 74
An episode in South Africa during the apartheid. I guess it shouldn't be that surprising considering how this show takes place in various points of the world, but, even so, something like that reminds me of how much the world has changed.
The apartheid is what leads to a black researcher developing a chameleon formula that ends up used by the villains here, but otherwise the story is unrelated.
But then, two episodes later, we get this...
Lupin (Red Jacket) - Episode 76
The president of an unnamed English speaking fictional nation, a major Western power, calls Lupin and his group for an important mission. Help the leader of the Black revolutionaries from the fictional country Borodias, who are fighting against the White oppressors who control the country, and are crushing the rebellion.
The plan was to take Othello, the revolution's leader to Europe, where they'd give indirect support to start a counterattack, and Lupin had been called to do it since they couldn't do that officially, since they're technically Borodia's allies. Lupin and his friends were promised large sums of money for that, and there's also Angelica, a woman from Jigen's past, who now became a Sister, helping in the revolution, giving a personal stake there for them.
...
What show am I even watching at this point? This entire premise is so outside of Lupin's formula that it might as well be a different series altogether. Lupin working for the government? There's not even any Zenigata chasing Lupin during most of the episode.
When they meet the revolutionaries, the situation is dire. Most are wounded and they have no chance against Borodias' government forces. However, Othello insists in continuing the battle. Lupin notices something odd about his appearance. After insistence from Lupin and Jigen, Dr.Othello initially hesitates, but decides to accept their plan and escape from the country, after all.
I guess going with fictional nations here should be a clear sign that they'd do something odd, like a certain episode that took place in not-Nazi Germany showed, but I didn't expect them to actually go that far.

Lupin notices something odd about his appearance. After insistence from Lupin and Jigen, Dr.Othello initially hesitates, but decides to accept their plan and escape from the country, after all.
However, his airplane is shot down, right after taking off. Meanwhile, all revolutionaries there and Jigen's friend are killed by the army.
Still, the story doesn't stop there. Lupin notices something odd about Othello's body in the airplane's wreckage - In fact, it's not Othello at all. Some time afterwards, Fujiko is in a date with the higher up of the G.I.B. agency from the unnamed fictional western country - and they realize that Dr.Othello is actually said higher up.
The GIB higher up had altered his appearance into the one of a Black man to become the revolutionary leader in order to sabotage the revolution. If Borodia's government were toppled down, it could cause problems for the country's economy and the production of resources there, and due to them being commercial partners, it was never in they interest to see the revolution succeeding. So, the unnamed world power had set up Othello as the revolution's leader in order to make it fail.
Lupin compares finger prints from a cross carried by the sister, which had been touched by Othello, and a cup of glass held by the GIB director, proving that they're both the same person. Lupin and his gang go and confront the president alongside the GIB director. Zenigata finally arrives at this point, completely unaware of the entire story and just attempting to get Lupin as usual. This gives them time to get into a helicopter and fire at Lupin's group with the helicopter's machinegun. However, Lupin, Jigen and Goemon quickly blow up the helicopter and leave, leaving Zenigata attempting to rescue the president from the burning wreckage while promising to get Lupin for that (what happens to those two isn't explicitly shown, only the helicopter in flames and blowing up, with Zenigata shouting for him while next to the burning wreckage).
