Hyouka Rewatch Episode 5


#[**”The Truth About the Historic Classic Lit Club”**](https://imgur.com/a/9IBOOZc)

Note: From now on you might want to read the QOTD BEFORE reading my posts on my own thread. I sometimes offer opinions and answer the questions I ask.

##**Articles Going Into the Anthology**

A comment about how each Classic Club Members Investigation can represent a different method of literary Analysis by u/LeMU_IBF:

> I read from somewhere that the discussion in Chitanda’s house shows four different ways of literary analysis. Chitanda focuses on the texts only and sums up points for further investigation. Ibara seeks additional texts on the topic, then develops her hypothesis. Satoshi considers the historical context and is the only one not suggesting his own theory. Oreki also seeks additional texts on the topic, but from the viewpoint of the opposing camp, i.e. the school. These four “paths to truth” may provide some insights on our real life too.

u/doctahFox with a very good analysis on Satoshi and Oreki’s conversation on the way to Chitanda’s Estate:

> However, this time there’s a third alternative: Satoshi’s shocking pink. The first time I watched Hyouka I felt that shocking pink was a perfect colour for Satoshi, as he’s always ready to have fun, to joke around, and to lighten up the mood.
On the other hand, shocking pink isn’t a natural colour, it’s artificial. This is completely in contrast with what Satoshi claims: he says that “nobody can dye [him]”, that “[he]’ll always be himself”, while Hōtarō asks him if maybe he’s already dyed. And while they have this exchange, Satoshi’s face is completely covered by shadows.

u/Elimin8r had a fun [shit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/12b7kum/hyouka_rewatch_episode_4/jevwetc/) about Chitanda’s Uncle being Indiana Jones at the bottom of his post.

u/cyberscythe ‘s comment about the best programmers being lazy (This is true btw):

> They say that if you want a good software developer, get a lazy one. They’ll try their best to avoid writing code (looking at the situation and seeing if new code is actually going to solve the problem), and when they have to write code, they’ll be efficient about automating as much as possible.

##**Questions of the Day**

**First Timers:**

1. I gave my opinion in my post, but incase you haven’t read it why do you think Oreki was so agaited when no one else knew the meaning of *Hyouka?*

2. Now that the first arc is over, where do you think we’ll go from here?

3. Why do you think Oreki didn’t quite get the Solution right the first time?

**Rewatchers:**

1. Does Oreki’s Conversation with Chitanda near the End remind you of another future episode? 😉

**Source Reader:**

1. How was the first arc as an Adaptation? What did it do well? What did it do wrong? What did it do better than the Source? If it were you what you change if anything?

See you on the Next Meeting of the Classic Lit Club!
