I'm not sure if you noticed this, but my post was sarcastic.
Makes no difference than what's currently going on.
I thought it was fine. I wouldnt say I'm a fan, though its the only thing from Kyoto Animation aside from Hyouka and Full Metal Panic I have found watchable.
I hope the rumor that he's coming back is true.
We all do.
I don't buy the "sarcasm" get out of jail free card. It's the GAF equivalent of "LOL I TROL U" because admitting to trolling is bannable and calling a post you regret making a troll would be bad.
OK, you got me.
I really do wish for a season 2 of Hyouka where they investigate corn in poop to forward character development because I had some marginal interest in Chuu2 which resulted in scat fetishization leading into other KyoAni series. I w-was just so sh-shy.
It looks more like some kind of work tarp but maybe that's just due to the grody colour.
we must never forget
Yes. Next question.

I guess not. Ewww.
Also since people in here like food .gifs:
Where are the Tamako gifs?
This really reminds me how inferior Chuunibyou's cultural festival was to Hyouka's.
I think you missed the "passive aggressive" part of my post.
Jesus, Maoyuu is ugly. Whatever they used to simulate the sun through the trees almost makes her look transparent in places.
I didn't. I recognize it.
Dennou Coil is the prettiest seppuku ever broadcast on TV.
Watching Angel Beats caused cajunator to go blind and now he can no longer appreciate the beauty of Hyouka
I am legally blind without my glasses.
Take out the "other students" and that's just about how much characterization each of them receive in reverse order.
That's fine and all but what happens when the purportedly exceptional character development the show's supporters love to brandish about also feels lacking? These teenagers did not really feel like real people to me and the only time I felt genuinely engaged by their characterization was during the festival arc (until it reverted back to mystery solving, at least) and I've said as much in the past. I don't know about you but when a show can only manage to connect with me for merely a fraction of its run, well, it's difficult to walk away from it with a good lasting impression.
And yes, the mysteries in a show that initially tried to sell itself as a mystery show were a disappointment no matter how much you like to say they don't actually matter.
Yes the mysteries themselves are low key however due to the amount of time wasted on them, and yes they are wasted, you can't just dismiss them as only driving character study. The film arc is a perfect example where the arc could have easily been shortened and there would have been the exact same amount of development on Oreki's part. The festival arc itself is also somewhat bloated in regards to the main mystery. It's fine if they want to delve into the mysteries on the show but by god, they should have made the core of the mysteries somewhat entertaining instead of exceptionally dull garbage.
It never sells itself as a mystery show and if you feel that way, you're reading the show wrong. The mystery aspect is purely a red herring in the show's construction.
As for the rest, I can't agree nor can I further detail my disagreement beyond that due to the lack of detail you've given me as to why you were disappointed with the character development.

Didn't we get news about a few months ago that Iso was coming back? Maybe as a zombie, but still.
EDIT: I'm noticing the "Hyouka doesn't suck/yes it does" debate is the new "K-ON sucks/no it doesn't" debate from years prior.
Now that's bull. It's very much a mystery show. The amount of detail in regards to setup and the explanations of the mysteries themselves are very much in line with a mystery show.
I do. I absolutely do.
bahijd tweet that was deleted
All I remember are some rumors about him possibly working on SSY, don't think anything came of that.
Ah, a lovely set of reactionary inquiries! I'd take those any day.
-5.75/-6 for life!

Okay but it's still a character study show. The mystery aspect is a pure red herring.
Good thing he didn't and is talking to cats and Johnnie Walker. Dodged one bomb!
Besides the thematic issues people raised before, I felt like Chuunibyou's finale was strangely paced. There were too many climaxes too close together, so the later ones (which were more important) felt less significant.
Hyouka was definitely the more interesting show.
If Moonlight posting in here means more icarus-daedelus-sama, then we need more Moonlight.
I can't tell if I think that Hyouka had stronger direction than Chuuni because it actually had stronger direction, or if it's because Hyouka was going for low-key character study while Chuuni was often aiming for either slapstick comedy or melodrama.
Great, now KyoAni is causing arguments within individual members of animeGAF
What are you talking about? The glasses on that body is Cajunator and no one else. See...

Oh right, I guess Hyouka episode 11.5 is out now. I guess I'll have to get on to watching it.

I've explained my stance in the past in more detail and I don't feel like doing so again right now. Not to mention that these arguments never really go anywhere and we always go back and forth on the same points so I'm kinda starting to get tired of this particular topic. You just caught me bored enough this time.
If it's of any help to you, I'm gonna give 11.5 a shot at some point and see if that completely changes my outlook on the show as a whole. No promises though!
