Whoa…this was definitely a spiritual reboot of Hyouka. Just some rather disorganised thoughts that occurred to me during the episode:

• Definitely not as much as a fan of Kobato and Osanai as I was of Houtarou and Eru, but they’re good enough to keep me watching.
• Backgrounds seem to have more animation than Hyouka, but maybe that’s just a byproduct of 13 years since Hyouka originally aired in 2011.
• The ED is…one of the EDs of summer, for sure. Love the shoutout to Hyouka with the shot of the staircase (pictured below). But the song is just jarring in a way that I’m not sure will ever grow on me. We shall see, however.
• Would love to see the source material for this become available in the west. While the series is a tad old, having started on 24 December 2004, the same link reveals the most recent entry in the series as having been published on 30 April…of this year! Holy shit…

ED screenshot, as aforementioned:

So this was the first thread I asked rikka to create. I’ll be waiting now on the episode to show up on nyaa.

Where on earth is Dahlia streaming already?! I’m waiting on it to hit the high seas…

The original source is actually the light novel, licensed by Yen Press!

Same thing, semantically speaking. But you can kind of play around with word order via the use of particles.

Hmm…I wonder who those might be.

@wjs018@ani.social, I’ll say that the source material…isn’t really this horny. For some reason, I get the feeling that side of the characters has been tuned up for views, unfortunately.

I hate that the counter made this sentence needlessly difficult to parse.

Zero disagreement from me. That’s actually a great pick I hadn’t considered!

You forgot about 噛み (to bite)

Hahaha maybe “disagreement” is a better word? I don’t see Ishikawa as being bubbly enough to voice Miwa. I think she’d be better in the role of Niko, if anything. Maybe Minase Inori as Sakura, with Sakura Ayane as Miwa?

Whoa. Ishikawa Yui for Miwa? Interesting…!

Who do you want to voice each of the girls? I’m thinking maybe Komatsu Mikako for Kazuki, Kitou Akari for Niko, and Sakura Ayane for Miwa (or Yuuki Aoi).

Tl;dr we’ve been talking about this series for a while. Anime now confirmed!

Counterpoint: It does work well in practice, because it removes the bourgeoisie and the rent-seekers from the picture, ideally violently.

Capitalism infects everything it touches. Marx and Lenin were right.

Wait it was on Prime?! Oops…

Did this even get streamed in the West? I wanted to watch it but couldn’t find it anywhere…
