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.

## The order

1. Season 1: Episodes 1-22
2. Season 1: OVA: What Should Be Had (OVA) — optional
3. Hyouka: What Should Be Had (OVA)
