A live-action movie adaptation named Hyouka: Forbidden Secrets was also released on Novemand distributed by Kadokawa Pictures. The movie stars Midori Yamanishi, Mamiko Senoue, Takeo Katsuta, Yuri Kounosu and Takeo Kaitou, and it tells of a group of teenagers who ended up taking refuge.

Even fans of the anime could get confused as to what’s going on regarding certain characters, which is a large issue. The regular TV broadcast started on April 23, 2012. The third arc is where most of these issues come to a head, turning a movie that would have otherwise been classified as so ok its average into a bewildering mess that just happens to be an improvement. Begrudgingly, Oreki is dragged into an investigation concerning the 45-year-old mystery that surrounds the club room.Īccompanied by his fellow club members, the knowledgeable Satoshi Fukube, the stern but benign Mayaka Ibara, and the ever-curious Eru Chitanda, Oreki must combat deadlines and lack of information with resourcefulness and hidden talent, in order to not only find the truth buried beneath the dust of works created years before them, but of other small side cases as well.īased on the award-winning Koten-bu light novel series, and directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto of Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu, Hyouka shows that normal life can be full of small mysteries, be it family history, a student film, or even the withered flowers that make up a ghost story. The first episode received an early screening at a special event held at Kadokawa Cinema Shinjuku on April 14, 2012. Energy-conservative high school student Houtarou Oreki ends up with more than he bargained for when he signs up for the Classics Club at his sister's behest-especially when he realizes how deep-rooted the club's history really is. There are very few real crimes in Hyouka the ones that do show up are bloodless crimes, such as counterfeit currency or the missing objects during the Kanya Festival when a murder does occur, it’s a fictional one in a student film (episodes 8-11, the End Credits of the Fool/Why didn’t she ask EBA story arc).
