Hyouka - What is Fuyumi Irisu trying to do with Houtarou?!

by feal8718. June 2012 23:59

Hello,

Today we'll talk about the 9th episode of the spring season 2012 anime series named Hyouka that continues to deliver a fairly entertaining "mystery" story.

Do you have an idea about what is the "proper" outcome that the original scriptwriter was trying to convey in that movie? I'm still unsure about too many points and the "helpers" didn't help much.

I mean, the three guys just spewed random garbage promptly destroyed by Houtarou's guessings so we're back at square one with no real extra info.

Hyouka

Now that Fuyumi seems to be involved in this whole event by calling Houtarou separately, I wonder if the story won't be a real mystery, but a joke of some sort.

I mean, I hope they won't go out and tell us "hey, we were unsure about how to write the ending so we decided to use you to write it for us. Great job Houtarou!".

Most of these events looks unnatural in my eyes, what exactly happened to the original scriptwriter? I think that is the key to resolve the mystery.

Oh please, Eru stop being so cute or I'll be forced to take you home together with Mayaka! As a drunkard, Eru's personality was still the same, only a lot "powered up" emotionally by the drunk status.

It's hilarious to think that Eru was able to get drunk by simply eating those few sweets. I mean, they only contains a very small quantity that shouldn't make people drunk...:P 

I would've loved to see a FULL "Kininarimasu" scene in drunk mode, but I suppose we have to settle down with the sparkling eyes before falling asleep.

Hyouka

The preview segment is showing an extremely flustered Mayaka. That makes me wonder if we're going to get some jealousy scene from Eru...

Try to think about it, Houtarou and Fuyumi drinking tea together in a random shop and suddenly Eru appears from nowhere trying to take Houtarou back!

Ok, maybe I'm dreaming too much, but I do think that this would likely make an awesome comedy scene.

Hyouka

Concluding, Hyouka is back with a multi-episode mystery arc and even if I'm a bit wary of the possible ending I'm going to stick with it till the end!

See you soon,

Chitanda is such a cute drunk. The scene where laughed was cuter than this video, but no real complaints.

Relying on another club to complete your movie isn't the best idea. Especially if it doesn't have a real ending and needs one created.

I was battled between the two, but I thought she was cuter in this one. I suppose its about tastes maybe?


Mayaka also was...different this week. Not sure about what, but the animation looked "better"...

Not sure, what do you suggest as real ending then? I'm not sure if they did give us enough hints to be able to write one...

I'm not happy with an extra person ending. So I hope it's one of the 6.

The master key and through the door is the only way I can see it ending. Oh, is the key by the arm even the real room key? Ignore the master key, you don't need it. Swap keys and you can lock it from the outside and fake a closed room murder.

That's the best I've got.

Same thoughts here...

Oh, well now that you make me think about it. It could be that the two guys remaining near the door are the real culprits and they killed him in between the others were searching for the keys?

Not sure...Eru give me strength! >_<

I'm going to assume he's dead before they go to search for him. Being locked in the room would cause him to shout or leave through the window. The rope is the only thing I can't fit into this. Maybe a way to stop the screaming. Choking would cause minimal noise and I guess cut off the arm as a decoy. So my guess is the student in the rock climing club.

Maybe if I knew the time they were searching the rooms. Maximum I think will be 10 minutes and 2 minutes for getting the master key.

Not sure about choking to not cause any scream. Also its strange to be able to kill such a big guy that easily in a no-weapon situation... >_<

Yeah, if its only those minutes killing a guy would be pretty difficult.

*Pulls out a bottle of whiskey*. Where does she live!?

I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see their reactions to getting shot down like that. (Espescially the guy with glasses, how annoying can you get?) But the mystery is still on so who knows.

Don't tell him! Tell me, I'll be sure to protect her from people who are only trying to use her weakness...


I wonder if the original scriptwriter is really sick or they're simply trying to cover something else. Something is fishy in here...>_<

Somehow I doubt you're any better.


I'd be disappointed if it wasn't fishy, being mystery and all

Look in my eyes. Do I look evil to you?


Maybe they're part of some fanatic religious cult related to Eru's sparkling eyes...:O

Should I really answer that?


It seems Eru ain't the only drunk here. Still would be funny if it is something like that. ^^

Although the theories are absolutely lame, it's hilarious to look at a drunken Eru. Must be those candies.

Yeah those candies contains a small alcohol quantity, but...it shouldn't make her drunk!

Well...I'm not entirely sure what to make of all this myself. On the one hand, I can find myself on your train of thought, that the class is using the Classics Club to test their mystery movie. On the other hand, this feels like it's heading in a stunningly anti-climactic resolution, somewhat like how they resolved Eru's uncle. Someone will step in and either partially confirm Houtarou's theory, or fill in the gaps.
This is moot, though, if there's truly something nefarious happening.

it just looks extremely unrealistic that the original scriptwriter is "sick" and they decided to rely on the Classics Club to complete their movie...


By the way, did you notice how Houtarou's sister and Eru's uncle (disappeared there) are both in India? I wonder if they'll "go back" to hometown sooner or later for a final arc...

BeldenOtaku

Yeah, I noticed and found it peculiar, but then they kinda dropped both of them when they finished Eru's uncle's mystery. If they bring it back up, it'll definitely be an interesting plot twist, perhaps Houtarou's sister goes missing as well, and they find out it was because of something similar to Eru's uncle.

Not sure, I'm more leaning over a "sister-found-uncle-and-take-him-home" development, but time will tell us!

Alright, time to crack this case (I think, this is just my theory though, lol)

So yeah, I couldn't help but notice that all three deductions were made on the assumption that this was a locked-door murder, but, they never really checked the rooms did they? I think that Sugimura's(?) door was open all along(just happened to be open), while the other rooms could've been locked.

My suspects would then be (1) the girl who said that all the doors could be locked and/or (2) the quiet girl who knew about the room keys. As to why the door was locked when they arrived, I'm guessing the door can be locked from the inside.

And...drunk Eru :3 (can't wait for flustered Mayaka as well
)

yeah, that's what I thought as well, but we have other situations as well. What if the guys who checked if the door was locked are the real culprit trying to fake the closed door mystery?

I just hope they won't pull out a seventh random/unknown guy involved in the killing. That would be lame...

Same thoughts, flustered Mayaka is going to be awesome. I'll take her home!

Leap250

Ohh, that could work too. Faking it could give them enough time to either finish the job, or actually lock the door from the inside and close it again. But I'll blame the girls for now, lol. I'm thinking Irisu will give us the last piece to the puzzle.

That would just kill the mystery

Houtarou disproved it already so I doubt that's the answer, but who knows

Don't leave me with passed-out Eru >.<

This is becoming a favorite of mine, it has so much going for it, wonderful art, really well done characters each fully standing freely and strongly on their own, none of them really behind or supporting, of the four main ones and each new character enters and leaves with full marks as well, truly a remarkable characteristic of its own, and the story ..it is very fine. I am eager to see more..and i do think we will see a bit of jealousy in the next one, they brought in a new and powerful female ....cant wait to see.

Agreed, this series is one of the best in terms of characters/art for this season. The chemistry between characters is one of the main charming point for me.

What I don't feel is just as good are the stories they narrate. They look a bit "lackluster" to be considered real Mysteries.

Let's see what will happen in the next episode (going to cover the new episode this evening after work).

yes if you mean ep 10, it comes out better than i expected...as i agree the stories are a bit lame at times, the Hot Springs was disappointing they seem to have picked up the main character being prone to car sickness from Natsu in Fairy Tail
...but overall, i love the series for the detail, the feeling of the characters who are so real and so strong each in their own way, without competing with each other and i do look forward to what may happen with Houtaurou having TWO strong females to deal with..what with the advent of Fuyumi Irisu who i feel we may see again .....
