Oreki Houtarou is a minimalistic high school boy. One day, he joins the Classic Literature Club at his elder sister's request. There he meets Chitanda Eru, Fukube Satoshi, and Ibara Mayaka. Chitanda is a calm beautiful girl but she turns into an embodiment of curiosity once she says, "I'm curious." Fukube is a smiling boy with a fantastic memory who calls himself a database. Ibara is a short girl and is strict with others and herself. They begin to investigate a case that occurred 45 years ago. Hints of the mystery are buried in an old collection of works of the former members of Classics Club. The collection is titled "Hyouka."
I love this anime. I will give it a 10/10 rating. The anime is so fantastically done by Kyoto Animation that you won't even think for a second that it's from 2012. It's a mystery anime that shows how one can connect dots with lots of humor and a little bit of romance in between. Each sentence in the end and between episodes has a deep meaning; it does hit the spot if you are looking for some different anime than usual, yet close to average shounen
