Higashi no Eden is most true to the genre of the candidates. Such a great show, I'm glad to see it's not forgotten.

I really like the way that the mysteries in Hyouka are solved through logic and the animation made by KyoAni makes everything much more interesting. My vote goes to it.

 

[SharkBait]

Hyouka for me.

Perfect cast dynamics, perfect tension, and perfect mysteries all around, not to mention one of the best beach episodes and best hot spring episodes in the genre and recent animes. Each plot and mystery no matter how small was extensively enthralling.
