Hyouka Watch Order
2 entries · · community-maintained
The Hyouka watch order is simple: all 22 episodes first, then the OVA What Should Be Had. Begin with Episodes 1-22, Kyoto Animation's 2012 mystery series, and finish with the OVA titled What Should Be Had, which sits after the main run. There are no films or additional seasons to sequence, so the correct order is just the series followed by the single OVA. People searching for where to start can begin confidently at episode one; the OVA is a side story best saved for last rather than watched partway through. That keeps the Classics Club's slow-burn mysteries and character development intact from beginning to end. Two entries total — the 22-episode series and one OVA — make this one of the more straightforward watch orders to follow, with nothing hidden between cours to worry about.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
