EPISODE REVIEWS

If you like a slice-of-life, mystery and romance anime then this is a good fit for you. As usual KyoAni delivers their masterful art and animation, the studio perfectly depicted and has gone beyond on the scene where Chitanda "entangles" Oreki in one of her curiosity outburst. This is a must watch if you’re into puzzles and enjoy testing your attentiveness and observation skills.

This first ep was a slow starter and the tone's intriguing. The monologue's mood was serious and mysterious. Oreki had more of a detective vibe which was way far from the club title itself. The visuals were astonishing, just like the animation. OP and ED were also okay.

Oreki reluctantly joins the Classic Literature Club and meets the endlessly curious Chitanda. A small mystery about a locked classroom kicks things off. The calm pacing and beautiful atmosphere immediately set the tone for the series' thoughtful style.
