Kyoto Animation is back with another anime. Although there are only 7 episodes so far, I gotta say, this one shows a lot of promise.

Story:

The main plot isn't really special or original, but its refreshingly new. The main character, Oreki Hotaro, is a minimalistic high school student with a talent for deductions (that he rarely uses to preserve his energy). His lifestyle change abruptly when he joins a club at his school on the request of his sister and meets Chitanda Eru, a calm beautiful girl but she turns into an embodiment of curiosity when something picks her interest. The other characters are Fukube Satoshi, a carefree self proclaimed database full of information, and Ibara Mayaka, the short strict girl that gets angry a lot and has a crush on Satoshi.

Animation & Sounds:

The quality is outstanding & pretty detailed, as you would expect from Kyoto animation.
The background music, while not being noteworthy and easy ignores, still fits into every moment perfectly.


Enjoyment:

The unconventional story & treatment of its characters makes this series all the more interesting & enjoyable. Its like getting a book for light reading. While it is not anything exciting, you can easily lose track of time as you watch how events unfold throughout the series.
 
not really. It's more like slice of life with a bit of "mystery solving." I don't know though, it's kind of hard to reduce it to a typical anime genre because it definitely feels like it's trying to do its own thing, if that makes any sense.

I get what you mean, i guess you could say it has a touch of light mystery solving, not your usual high school wannabe detective solving crimes, just a group of teens solving a few mysteries, and even their deductions aren't always perfect, overall its just an enjoyable anime with nothing special other than its uniqueness.
