I do kinda wish they'd made this callback a little more obvious. I like the idea but I and most folks on my twitter feed COMPLETELY missed it on the first go around.

Huh, I thought they did that really well by NOT calling attention to it. Was a nice little joke that worked by not overplaying or flashing back to it.

Marylander here. I don't even know what the show my state's watching is.

Hard for me to make out but I think it's Gabriel Dropout. Which is a pretty fun comedy that might be worth a few episodes if you're interested.

I ended up dropping that one around the murder film arc because every episode felt very samey.



(I'll stop posting pics from other series because it's a derail, and I can understand if Hyouka isn't for you, but I loved it, with the exception of one or two episodes.)

Kanna makes me laugh pretty much every time she's on screen.



(Although, goddamn the Lucoa plot line is terrible, gross, and playing something horrible for cheap laughs. Wish it wasn't in the show.)

I just marathoned this series over 2 days. So good, but I'm sad there's not more. Anyone have similar anime recommendations?

Well, I'm not sure what part of this show you enjoyed, so it's not easy to give recommendations, but I'd throw Non Non Biyori onto the pile. It's a quiet slice of life comedy set in the sticks. There are no fantastic elements like in Kobayashi, but one of the characters is... kinda Kanna-esque.

Kanna shouldn't be smiling like that. Maybe eating the flowers...

I still find it generally annoying, though, and kind of wish KyoAni would just have a couple actually kiss or something (kisses they pretend never happened don't count).

Haruhi and Kyon get a somewhat ridiculous kiss in what is one of the best scenes of the show.

Also I think Hyouka does what it does with the understated romance really, really well. You don't realize it after the first viewing but by the second or third watch it's pretty clear that Oreki and Chitanda are very, very thirsty for each other. But it is in neither of their natures to make too direct a move.

What the actual gently caress. Why does this exist, and why did it need to be posted here.

It is not so very different from the fractal Tohrus in the OP, is it not?
