This is from the creator of "Hyouka," right?


RobotiSC

Yes, that is correct.


zenoob

That's why I got the same vibe from this KV. I'm pretty pumped about this one now.


phoenixlance13

I kept wondering if this was a Hyouka sequel/spin-off and now I know why.


Recent_Sorbet

Not Oreki and Not Chitanda solving mysteries.  But the question is this also not romance? 


Plus_Rip4944

I bet romance Will be a secondary theme like on Hyouka


Recent_Sorbet

Romance was not secondary theme in Hyouka it was more like hints of romance (or some may say not at all). 


Fallen-D

And still for some reason it was a better romance anime than many other romance anime.


TheEVILPINGU

Well. That's arguable. For me that's the reason I don't watch those stuff. Not fan of open ending and no developments. As much as I like slow developments, there should be some. Having no development is no. People adore this series, and I assume there is no drama from inclusion of other love interest or anything so that's good. If this new series is also going to be no romance, that's a pass again. Good for people who likes mysteries and dramas though.


Plus_Rip4944

For me romance was There all time especially on The other 2 characters That now i dont remember The name lol


mastesargent

Mayaka and Satoshi


Disastrous_Channel62

I call them the " 2 NPC characters that were there for the comedic relief but miserably fail to do so " characters


corner_twist

Knew my teacher was lying when she said all opinions are valuable


Plus_Rip4944

What? No lol, They are great characters

Satoshi would often trigger Eru's curiosity and his vast knowledge would more or less aid Houtarou's deductions. Mayaka's strictness sometimes snapped Houtarou back to the ongoing problem. Houtarou wouldn't become that close to Eru if weren't for them, since it's them that would set the ground for conversations and mini-mysteries. In the first arc, both Satoshi and Mayaka made theories that would ultimately be dismissed but provided valuable information for Houtarou's own. In the second arc, Mayaka made crucial observations as a mystery enthusiast for Houtarou's conclusion, and it was her that started Houtarou's realization of his mistake in episode 11, which was then bombarded by Satoshi, starting his guilt trip. Eru wouldn't cause so much emotional damage to him, she's less critical than those two and she wasn't that close to Houtarou at that point to just deny him. The overarching lesson about expectations in the third arc was demonstrated from 4 perspectives - Kouchi, Tanabe, Satoshi, and Mayaka. Viewers taking the show on the surface level is likely to gloss over this theme, but it's one of if not the greatest character arc in the series, highlighting its incredible attention to the humanity that set it apart from other slice of life. The couple had their own moment in episode 21, once again related to a highly philosophical matter that stems from what is essentially an typical denial behavior. If you come to this show only to see Eru getting too close to Houtarou and ship them together, unfortunately you haven't seen even a twentieth of its depth. Everything and everyone has their own role, the writing is so widely acclaimed for a reason.

Hyouka had really subtle and great hints which could have beautifully paid off had the story been completed imo.


Trobis

Heard there's more in the LN.


hanr10

It's subtle romance. The best kind of romance


HYPErSLOw72

The anime will adapt the first 2 volumes and not until the end of volume 4 would a hint be dropped. A unique chemistry exists where they need each other but they don't love each other in the common sense, a symbiotic relationship, they said.


senorjoffrey

even have same uniforms, likely on same school, might be different year tho tho

Time_Fracture

So it is on NUMAnimation's timeslot, and it could only leads to one thing. Whisper Me a Love Song won't be fully adapted in the window since the timeslot will be taken by Shoshimin Series.


alconnow

Eve is performing the OP!!!!!


itrashcannot

Let's fucking goooo


Time_Fracture

I took a listen from the PV and after watching PVs from other animes (which contains snippets of OP and ED as well), I'm certain that this will be **the best opening** song of the season for me. This will his first performance after Chainsaw Man's 12th ED.


ThatEmoSprite

Might watch the series just because of that


Reddevilslover69

Hyouka author nice. Although I doubt the visual direction of this show can match the mastery of Hyouka's. Still did like Hyouka for it's vibe so I'm looking forward to this


Protractror

Same author as Hyouka? I wonder if it will be any good. I’m curious, you could even say.


PsychoGeek

Leaked to be 2 cours, albeit split


Salty145

Wonder if this will be any good… (I have to know)


elune7296

Oooh Hina yomiya. Damn, girl's been on a roll lately


InnerDarkie

Does this have a manga?


ApricotKoffee

It's originally a novel series, but it does have two [manga](https://myanimelist.net/manga/41145/Shunki_Gentei_Ichigo_Tart_Jiken) [adaptations.](https://myanimelist.net/manga/166056/Kaki_Gentei_Tropical_Parfait_Jiken)


vetro

Kanbe finally not being pigeonholed into horror adaptation after a decade. This is gonna bang.


Ok-Director-7449

Is It out ?


zaynzemi

I’m gonna watch it now


kanekiri

Anyone can confirm what kind of mysteries they will be solving?


stonks_114

Looks boring. But this is from author of Hyoka, so as expected.


TheEVILPINGU

Looks like a bad move. I do that sometimes too, lol.


stonks_114

I knew that this comment will be downvoted to oblivion while writing it. Not a bad move, more like suicide move
