Message in a Bottle Episode - Hyouka Episode 19 Analysis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2019
- Let's take a peak at what makes an episode that takes place in a single room never feel stale. We're talking about narrative structure, pacing, cinematography, character interactions, and how much meaning can be interpreted from just a few shots. If you thought the café scene was impressive, you've got another thing coming! What do the visualizations tell us about Houtarou? What does an off-hand comment tell us about Chitanda? And how the hell are we supposed to understand their relationship at this point in the show! Episode 19 holds the answers.

@@ReplayValue message in a bottle
Oh god every time you upload a video about Hyōka I’m reminded how great this show was. Still kinda bummed out that it probably never be continued.
when it has enough material, i think it will.
the author stated somewhere that he plans to write kotenbu series until they graduate(or until university, i cant remember). so there is still quite a bit to go. they were just year 1 going to year 2 by the end of anime, and currently year 2 in the novel.
@@yuy2375 is this true???
@@obviousnobody4067 Yes it is. Author has already written 2 volumes of novel(vol 5 and 6) continuing the story and he will write volume 7 of the novel in the near future. So I think when it ll have enough material, it is possible a season 2 will be out. But it ll take years.
@@maousama5617 good to know, thanks
@@maousama5617 i just want you to know that i love you thank you for that 🥺
This is my favorite episode of Hyouka. I'm glad this video explains why it's so good.
gabesonic same!!!!
best episode
I think now that we're covering this episode it's worth considering one of the big adaptational shifts. This episode is taken from the fourth chapter of volume 4. The first chapter of volume 4 is moved to Episode 1 (The Silk Spider Society and the Ghost in the Music Room), the second chapter is Episode 6 (To Commit A Deadly Sin) and the third chapter is Episode 7 (The Ghost, When Examined). KyoAni adapted this volume such that it made chronological sense in the anime. The rest of the volume is going to be adapted basically chapter-for-episode. What does that mean for interpretation of the anime? It tells us that Episode 1, 6, 7 and now 19 form the beginning of a narrative arc. And that narrative arc is important because now in this adaptation it forms the supporting structure of the overarching narrative of the series. In episode 1 Houtarou introduces us to his motto, deceives Chitanda and is probed by Satoshi about the effort he made to fake the mystery, episode 6 is about Chitanda wanting to believe that her math teacher had a good reason for making the mistake of teaching the wrong syllabus and Houtarou 'avoiding the deadly sin of pride' when he stops himself from thinking he understands her motivations and feelings, in episode 7 Chitanda shares her feelings about always wanting a sibling with Houtarou and he reveals that having siblings isn't always the way Chitanda imagines, he feels like if she looked at him and his sister she'd find withered flowers (and believes if she got to know him, she wouldn't think he were so amazing). And that brings us to this episode, where Chitanda is praising Oreki and he is refusing her praise.
These are the episodes that are the context for how Chitanda and Houtarou grow closer over the course of the year, leading all the way back around to Spring.
Just... wow
I love seeing people doing Hyouka analysis because people always miss out the brilliance of this show.
I've always thought that Hyouka is one of the few shows (I can count them on one hand) that I've seen that legitly makes you feel as though every single chapter makes the characters change, if only just a bit. You never feel like the characters are the same as they were the last episode, and that's because every chapter has a scene or situation that makes them reevaluate something about their worldview or themselves.
But it is in this last stretch of episodic stories where I feel it the most. And when you feel how each character has immensely grown since the very beginning of the series the most. Is funny how one of the ways it does that is in those "comedic" scenes. This, if I remember correctly, is the first time we see so many different facial expressions from Chitanda. Her soothing and soft personality has always made sense to me because of her personal background as the member of a powerful family, but this chapter in particular is a change of pace for that. Here we see a side of Chitanda that we rarely see, even when the main cast is together. And it just comes to show how so very comfortable she is at being herself with Oreki. And only with Oreki. They're alone, and is like she's a slightly different person. She's even sarcastic in one moment of the episode, and I love it. This episode shows how much they've grown together, and how confortable they are around each other. No wonder it has romantic implications. If anything, Chitanda and Oreki feel like the most realistic and subtle portrayal I've ever seen of a romance starting (too bad the series ends before anything happens), in any medium.
That's what I had to say about this episode. I never actually noticed the lighning of the scenes, but it is also a very nice touch. You have a keen eye for direction tricks, and with each new video of yours, I convince myself more about Hyouka being the best directed series I've ever seen.
I love your videos, man. Kind of sad there's little left of Hyouka for you to make videos about it :/
I totally agree. 💯💖
_It’s elementary Watson_
One of my favorite episodes of anime. I even showed this one to my grandparents and they loved it.
We really need Hyouka season 2. This show was so good.
An analysis from my favorite anime analyst (is that how we should call you?) on my favorite anime from my all-time favorite show. And all that 2 hours before my birthday, omg so close xD. Haven't watched it yet but I already know it'll be good, thank you so much for this!
Okay youtube, I watched it now.
Where was this channel hiding lol
Never been this early! Thank you so much for doing this series 😍 hyouka deserves so much more attention imo!
I just binged all your hyouka videos and you have given me an immense appreciation for this show that I already quite enjoyed. Your analysis is, consistently, extremely thorough and multifaceted. More impressive however is how over the course of your video series you really tap into the emotional and thematic core of this series and just as powerfully convey it to your audience in these videos. I almost teared up a couple times haha. The whole "silent scream/ice cream(i scream)/hyouka" concept is very poetic, poignant and its tonal aesthetic is, I find, personally resonant. Amazing work and I am looking forward to you covering the rest of this series!
One thing about this episode that particularly tickled me: I read (a translation of) the short story first, and about the time that Houtarou deduces the message concerns a crime, it struck me there was a thematic resemblance to the 1947 short story "The Nine Mile Walk" by Harry Kemelman. In that story, a professor of English meant to prove that a chain of inferences based on a short sentence could be perfectly logical and yet wrong ... but his chain of logical inferences revealing a crime instead proved perfectly true. After reading "Those Who Know Something, " I found an author's note saying that if his story inspired people to read "The Nine Mile Walk," he'd be pleased.
Thanks for your analysis of Hyouka ep. 19 that is my favorite of the single episode Hyouka stories.
What I have always been curious about is how the little phrases mentioned at the mid half and ending of the show tie into the storyline, like in this video it shows 'little birds can remember'
me too
From what I know, those are references to some of Agatha Christie's titles.
I see these last few episodes as Hotoro and Chianda escalating their relation with these events they participate in together (dates). First the library, the New Years festival, and then the live doll parade. They might not think they’re dates, not at first, but I think they come to realize the type of relationship they are in by the end of the series. Chianda even goes as far as telling Hotaro not to expect a valentines chocolate due to her family not participating in that event. It is done so subtly and honestly it really feels natural. We see in the library episode Hotaro deny doubling with Chianda on her bike due to the perception of it but accept being her soldier for the love doll episode which has be far more meaningful for these two at this stage in their relationship. His descisions regarding these two situation tells me everything about how comfortable Hotaro is with being with Chianda, especially in a public display. I just love the progression. It’s written and executed so well. It’s what makes Hyouka so special.
Great vid! Hyouka is one of my fav. animes and its great that someone else appreciates it. I really like these type of reviews, detailed analysis of shots, scenes and what the meaning behind of it. Really great job!! keep it up!!
Bless this channel
Great series deserves great reviews - your Hyoka analyses are sublime.
Loved this episode and (as usual) your analysis added another layer to it. I really loved how it wrapped up too - completely forgetting the point of the exercise but both enjoying the time spent together to deduct what happened.
I woke up just to see if you did this. Another great deduction of an episode!
Nice vid ! We need a sequel
This has always been among my favorite episodes, thanks for the video!
Finally! Been waiting for this one from a long time!
Honestly can't wait for your analysis of the last couple of episodes!
I do love this anime, and this is probably my 2nd or 3rd time watching these videos. And watching this again is making me really want to re-watch the anime yet again. You have done an amazing job on this series and you deserve way more views.
I've been waiting for this episode's analysis
Well done, ingenious piece of analysis.
Your analyses are awesome! Keep going!
This is my favorite episode
Notification squad, we here! Great video as always, the amount of information taken out is so refreshing. Please keep up ;)
This is amazing, thank you!
I recently read a story which at once reminded me of this episode of Hyouka, and I'm almost completely sure this part of Hyouka was influenced by the story. It's called 'The Nine Mile Walk' by Harry Kemelman, and features two characters who have a similar conversation and then play a game to demonstrate how any number of valid theories can be established, and conclusions arrived at, by careful analysis of a single sentence, but they need not necessarily be the correct one. The theory the detective character puts out does turn out to be true, and they end up solving a murder. Even though the implications aren't that serious in Hyouka, the basic plotline is too similar for it to be a mere coincidence.
Just an observation.
It's not a coincidence. An author's afterword to the short story this episode was made from states that if his story makes people want to read "The Nine Mile Walk," he'll be pleased.
I love to see the reasoning of the characters, to see how their heads work and I also love to see the characters solving mysteries and things (ie thinking ksk)
that's why I just love this ep, it focuses only on the characters interacting, it's perfect for my taste
Finally. I've been waiting for this piece since last year. It certainly has been a long time huh...
My goodness, the amount of editing and thought put into this is amazing, especially the transport part. I don't wanna say "good work!" because that will just sound like you are working. I don't want you to think of it as work.
Nice video, guess! I was absolutely stunned the entire video!
You can definitely think of it as work. Labor is labor even if it's a labor of love.
@@ReplayValue Ah, well said. Keep up the good work!
Aaah my favorite episode of hyouka 👀,,, super excited
i thought you were powerful just from appreciating Steins;Gate's first episode direction but now you analyze my favorite anime, making me adore it more? Powerful.
I found Hyuka great. I just can't write it out why. Thanks to your video. It explains a lot.
I like this episode, it gives us the idea how close they're already.
Hyouka and your channel, both needs far more attention than this.......
this is my favorite episode in any show
Lol I watched this episode when I was 8 years old. I think this was when I fell in love with the mystery genre!
Yes
Never knew what a bottle episode was
The title really confused me
Kininarimasuu!!!
Need to make an entire episode in one location visually interesting? Hire shaft, they add all kinds of wild visuals, all the time. What does it have to do with the events? Hell if I know, but it's not boring.
They did it well at the Monogatari series but damn did they screw Kagerou Days like a new virgin whore preparing for a spanking.
Good to see that someone dose good work the only good Kyo Ani show. But i liked your review of DanMachi more. Was that a 1 time only thing or?? Cus u did a rly good job, with the editing/jokes.
Attention Span will hopefully be returning before the end of March. The next episode is currently in production hell but I think we've figured out the perfect way to end the first season of the show before we retune things a bit for season 2. If you've missed the one on skilled teaser takagi, I'd go give that a watch.
I rewatched the whole series but the Dub version.
There are a lot of difference in translation between the Sub and Dub.
I'm so hungry for a continuation. 😭
I'm still hoping. 😭
Any suggestions anime similar to hyouka
I personally favor this episode.
First!
0:09 SAO alicization anyone? literally an entire episode of monotone explanation in a room with no interesting set design, and uninspired shot selection. Jesus
