Kyoto Animation’s reputation for extreme animation quality has once again been burnished, with the newly airing “Hyouka” (also associated with the “Kotenbu” name of the original mystery novel series) being hailed for its “godly” animation quality – although a great many viewers express doubts about the quality of its content even as they praise its outstanding visuals…

KyoAni is god tier. Hopefully this anime will keep it up.
It's like Japan itself animated in 2D form. I'll keep watching this just for the artwork.
It's the eyes. Holy crap look at the eyes.
well JC staff better step up their game, cause this is the qaulity fans are going to want from little busters, cause this is what they would of got if it was done by the KYOANI!
god qaulity is godly!
No guns, explosions, or fan service = no content?
Typical.
Being honest, I am pretty clueless what the show is about. Is the Main Character trying to impress the Female Lead?
This looks exactly the opposite.
Avatar was all about visuals with no decent story whatsoever. It was shit.
:) love this
Another masterpiece from KyoAni!
KyoAni is GOD
Yes, always! KyoAni is the best anime studio of all time!
but it's too bad that upcoming Little Buster won't get this quality of anime
Original work... oh wait!
That make sense, no wonder KyoAni decided to spend their production on Hyouka instead of Little Busters!
Too much "God Quality" on this anime!
Except Little Busters would also have had a story.
Maybe that's why they didn't take/get little busters.
haha, I see what you did there.
Too many KyoAni fags downvoting all the comments. I'm sorry that your favorite animation studio will never be as good as Madhouse.
Absolutely beautiful looking. Too bad it's boring as shit.
>.<
Goddammit, KyoAni! Full Metal Panic! FFS!
Then it would perhaps interest you to know that FMP's author Gatou Shouji is the Script Supervisor for this series.
Who knows, if he manages to pull this off and make this adaptation a success, Kyo-Ani might just "reward" him by adapting the rest of his FMP.
Perhaps Key ought to take a leaf out of Gatou and work for Kyo-Ani if they don't want Rewrite to suffer the same fate as Little Busters and get adapted by JC Staff. lol
More like be rewarded by Kadokawa. KyoAni just takes whatever future projects offered to them.
Looks good, but I still detect some K-On residue in there somewhere...
It's the look of the female faces...
I wasn't expecting much from this series as i'm not much of a mystery solving series kind of person, but this one has already done a lot more than i expected.
Chitanda for potential waifu material
Sure is trolling around here.
The only reason I watched this show was because...
I'm curious!
OMG WTF IS WITH THIS NEXT LEVEL ANIMATION WTF
To be honest, I'm not sure how to define this series myself, but moe shit it ain't. Hyouka is adapted from a novel series (NOT light novels, more on that below) serialized since 2000, long before moe became a marketing success.
So to dismiss it as another K-ON based on how cute Chitanda behaved is just plain ignorance. Though here's your chance to figure out what this is all about before making any conclusions.
*Shamless advertising*
For Baka-Tsuki is now translating the series into English. Though we welcome committed translators to join.

Distinction between novels and light novels:
In bookstores in Japan, novels and light novels are two completely different species.
General fiction novels are sold in the general fiction section, and they're devoid of any illustrations whatsoever. Some examples of these general novels getting the anime adaptation include: Monogatari series, Another, Fate Zero, Kara no Kyoukai, etc.
OTOH, Light novels are lumped together with mangas in the manga section, and all have illustrations inside.

I see KyoAni hiring Chinatsu from Yuru Yuri as their new staff in the animator department.
Goddammit just release Haruhi Season 3 already
Its not like this show is about a very passive guy that is somewhat forcibly led into doing things by a extraordinary girl of a club he really doesn't want to be in.
Goddammit just release Lucky Star season 2.
fixed
... and the fourth season of FMP!.
@04:55 Hyouka is incredibly good. I'd take it anytime over GITS. You really don't seem to know what this show is about, and I can tell you that the novel is really good, so this adaption should follow as well.
Instead of what you guys mentioned plus a 3rd season of GITS Stand Alone Complex and other greats I can't remember right now we get this Hyouka crap, Upotte which was considered good but turned into a ecchi anime, another Precure, a shitty 4th Yugioh series, Tasogare and Nazo X which only get viewers because of the ecchi scenes. Don't know what's wrong with the Japanese, I know they don't have to cater to US anime fans but why the usual sex sells/girl abuses guy and laugh bs instead of more Sousuke x Kaname (only tsun relationship I don't hate), more Section 9, more Konata (and as dub for these three).
Lucky Star Season 2 and Full Metal Panic Season 4.... the joy I would feel for it.
So what you're trying to say is, they are making another K-On!.
K-on meets clannad
x.x quality of the special effect + the 2 main boys have the same seiyu from clannad
so it's moe with the character art of k-on
that goes on the list
But this one has an unhappy guy, so clearly it's a new Haruhi, right?
With the main male cast of Clannad. lol
It's K-On! all over again.
lol, god of war. literally the definition of game that tries to appeal to homos with their naked male character.
One of the dumbest comments I've seen on this site.
K-ON!! >>>>>>>> God of War
And besides? What's wrong with K-on? There's a complete lack of plot but the animation was top notched.
Agreed, given that Satomi Satou (as Ritsu) is in this anime as the main character!
I'm surprised the k-on fanboys haven't downvoted you to oblivion yet.
