#**Articles Going Into the Anthology**
Another wonderful [episode breakdown](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/12c5mcj/hyouka_rewatch_episode_5/jf0i6zo/) by u/Ningen_
My buddy u/ZapsZzz finally made a comment of the day with an alternate take on why Oreki was upset no one got the pun, as rather they REFUSED to get the pun:
> My own personal opinion / interpretation is not that Jun’s message stayed hidden for 45 (33 in the novel) years, but that it was recognised, then just like the rabbits on the sideline, turned away to pretend they didn’t see. THIS is what’s more agitating than they “didn’t know”.
u/KamachoBronze giving a take on Oreki’s freakout due to him having depression. (I thought he was on the spectrum somewhere but its an interesting alternate take,)
> Finally, and I dont think this is a spoiler, it becomes fairly apparent with these past episodes that Oreki’s energy conservation and grey tinted life are just metaphors for depression. Oreki is depressed. He even says it himself this episode(or was it the previous one?). He doesnt find joy in doing things (one of the hallmarks of depression) in general. So he thought he might as well help Chitanda and try doing things, because he desires the ability to feel joy.
> Oreki was agitated because the story of Sekitani Jun hits so close to home. Sekitani Jun had his chance of a rosy school life taken away, the type of life Oreki, who even admits, that he envies. Sekitani Jun is putting his feelings out in the open, and making them so clearly and obviously known, and had anyone even tried to look, they could have noticed the feelings not so subtly hidden. A part of me thinks this is further reflection of Oreki’s feelings. He is depressed. He desires that rose colored life, and in some ways, he is trying to broadcast that. Yet until today, until Satoshi asked “Hotaro, were you envious?”, no one got that. Sekitani Jun parallels Oreki in no one noticing his feelings, which is the source of agitation.
Not a comment of the day but a rewatcher who wants to remain anonymous sent me this [article](https://vocus.cc/article/5ab5f0e2fd897800011b5773) breaking down episode 4 and 5 about how each member of the Classic Club uses a different school of thought for literary analysis. It’s in Chinese so you’ll have to feed it to a translate bot, but its very interesting!
#**Questions of the Day**
**First Timers:**
1. What do you think that is about Satoshi apparently being known by Oreki and Mayaka for his temper?
2. You think Oreki’s solution to the teacher making a mistake is good, or too much of a stretch?
3. What Sins do you think Each Classic Club Member represents, including the virtuous side of them?
4. Do you think Oreki is finding his place in his friend group more?
**Rewatchers:**
1. How many future episode developments and set-ups can see you see introduced in this episode? Particularly surrounding Satoshi, Oreki’s idea of whether or not he can understand Eru, and Eru’s own reason for her getting angry.
**Source Readers:**
1. When Mayaka is going Angry Wife to Satoshi, she mentions calling her on her cell phone, the original Novels started at a time where Mobile Phones weren’t a common thing for most people and people used Pagers or Big Blocky Satellite phones and it was mostly traveling businessmen, the anime retcons the events to take place in 2012 as oppose to 2001, which you can catch with the Jun incident taking place 45 instead of 30 something years ago, Why was this change made?
2. How does this change possibly conflict with future novel adaptations going forward? What changes might need to be made yet still keep the narrative on track?
3. How do different levels of technology, even as recent as the 80’s change the dynamic of a story, should remakes or adaptations of old story have the tech adapted for a modern audience or is the level and limits of tech even in a Non Sci Fi story, change the tone and dynamic of the plot where it should be preserved?
See you on the Next Meeting of the Classic Lit Club!
