Hyouka: Suprisingly Very Mature And Deep

So my next review is Hyouka.

Summary:
At the request of his older sister, student Hōtarō Oreki joins Kamiyama High School's Classic Literature Club to stop it from being abolished, joined by fellow members Eru Chitanda, Satoshi Fukube and Mayaka Ibara. The story is set in Kamiyama City, a fictional city in Gifu Prefecture that the author based on his real hometown of Takayama, also in Gifu. The fictional Kamiyama High School is based upon the real life Hida High School.

First thought:
Okay, this series okay... oh oh OH SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!! It's start of slow, real slow. But it's really good, all good. Especially the characters and their interaction. And AND even this series is like you know K-On or any Kyoto Animation series, it's suprisingly really mature and deep. It's a series about youth, about growing up. Very realistic. I like it a lot.

So here's my assessment:

Story 8/10
The story well... It's slice of life anyway, so the story is... You know, normal stuff. School, classic club, yada yada yada. Homever this series is actually in mystery genre, well that suprising... Yeah, there's some mystery solving, but the mystery isn't really a mystery. Solving why your teacher love airplane, or is one of the character really do see ghost, or searching an ending for unfinished movie, you know silly stuff like that. But I like that. I actually like that Hyouka is a mystery, without a any murders. Mystery series like Detective Conan is fun and all but it's unrealistic (seriously how many people died? Is that even possible). Hyouka is more realistic mystery series. With a realistic detective, who is smart but not that genius. He's just a normal guy.

Characters 10/10
Perfect 10 for the characters! It really is perfect! The characters is realistic, unique, and fun! An the interaction between them is superb. Okay first of, I can't really chose who is the best characters. But the way one of the character, Satoshi Fukube developing is priceless. It's really memorable and heartbreaking? I mean man! The one who smile and seem joyful all the time do really have deep and complex problem! Therefore maybe he is my favorite. MAYBE. But in Hyouka, all of the characters are awesome. Houtaro Oreki the main protagonist and his conserving enegy life, Chitanda Eru the girl I thought will be annoying turn out to be really loveable and well developed too, and Mayaka Ibara also the girl I thought to be annoying but turn out really complex and compelling. So yeah, Hyouka characters is the best part of it. Go watch it now! Oh and the romance between Mayaka and Satoshi, and Oreki and Chitanda is really good!! Sucker for more romance!

Animation 9/10
Beautifull, well it's Kyoto Animation anyway.

Sound 8/10
Nothing too special, but it's good.

Overall Hyouka is a nearly perfect anime series, with deep, complex, and loveable characters, nice story, and really beautiful animation. It's really close to perfection.
