Detective stories never leave of fashion, but finding a fashion to make them interesting is some other matter entirely. Some exit things open to interpretation, whilst others rely on convoluted mysteries that are more difficult to follow than a metropolis street map. There are also whole bodies of work dedicated to the exploits of well known sleuths like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse and more.
So what was the great innovation brought forth by the anime industry? Why loli detectives of grade!
Originally a light novel series by Sakuraba Kazuki, Gosick (which may be a play on the give-and-take "Gothic"), is set in the fictional European country of Sauville where Kujo Kazuya, the third son of a high ranking officer in the Japanese Imperial Ground forces, begins attending the prestigious St. Marguerite Academy. He apace discovers that most everybody in the country is enamoured with tales of the supernatural, and one of the strangest tells of a golden fairy who lives at the peak of a tower ... The plot is by and large well constructed and the basic premise is actually quite interesting, so it's unfortunate that the narrative is a flake too linear for the majority of the serial. In addition to this at that place are several rather blatant attempts at moving the story forward past inserting some obvious tokens into specific episodes, many of which could accept been handled in a far more than subtle manner. A major issue when adapting a written piece of work into a visual form is that it will undoubtedly lose something in the procedure, and that seems to exist the example here. Part of the problem stems from the fact that sure aspects of a given story will lose a degree of mystery in one case they're converted into an prototype, and this is even more prevalent in blitheness. While experienced authors are able to hide sure clues or foreshadowing elements in a torso of text, in one case the story is adapted for anime the differentiation between foreground and groundwork becomes far more pronounced. This has the event of "highlighting" the more than important parts of certain scenes, and when taken in conjunction with the linear plot, it makes several of the seemingly incommunicable to solve mysteries relatively piece of cake to deduce. That said, at that place is quite a bit of sleuthing going on, and the multifariousness of cases on offer should tickle the fancy of many a mystery buff. Considering the series is set in 1920's Europe, Gosick has a very continental look to it that'due south reflected in the vesture, buildings, and even modes of transportation, and the bulk of the background artwork is implemented rather well. There has too been a decent attempt at giving the majority of the characters a vaguely European caste to their features, and this tin can sometimes dissimilarity nicely with the somewhat stereotypical design used for Kujo. The one oddity is Victorique equally everything from her tiptop to her clothing is very unlike to that of everyone effectually her, which raises an interesting thought. Gosick is, at heart, a detective drama, and in the spirit of tradition the leading sleuth must have something that visibly sets them autonomously from everyone else. In this case, information technology's a loli wearing ruffles, lace, and a charming array of bonnets. The animation is pretty decent for the well-nigh part, and the majority of grapheme movements take been implemented rather well. Unfortunately Bones oasis't actually pushed the boat out with this anime so there are a few telltale signs of inattention here and in that location. Gosick features a variety of classically themed groundwork music, and while the majority of the tracks reflect the serious tone of the evidence, there are a few lighthearted pieces scattered here and there. The opening theme, Destin Histoire by Yoshiki☆Lisa, is a J-pop/rock vocal that seems a bit also action oriented for a series that relies more on utilising the grapheme's brains instead of their brawn. In addition to this the stylised montage that accompanies it drops a few too many hints about events that occur in the story, which is unfortunate as otherwise it'south a well fabricated and choreographed piece of piece of work. As for the 2 ending themes by Komine Lisa, Resuscitated Hope (episodes 1 to 12), is a pop ballad that seems to fit ameliorate with the tone of Gosick, both musically and in terms of the visuals used for the end sequence. The second song, Unity, is the i that stands out the most every bit it's far more melancholy and dramatic than the other two tracks, and the accompanying imagery reflects the darker plough the serial takes after the halfway point. The acting is pretty decent for the most part, with Yuuki Aoi and Eguchi Takuya performing rather well in the roles of Victorique and Kujo (and information technology's actually surprising to observe a tsundere loli that isn't being played by Kugumiya Rie). The residuum of the cast also handle their roles passing well, but like so many other titles out there, the script could have been done improve. The dialogue is sometimes childish or stunted, and there's a lack of cohesiveness that appears during several conversations which can make the characters seem ... lacking. Possibly the biggest surprise in Gosick is that there'due south actually a off-white degree of justification for Victorique beingness not simply a loli, only also tsundere. Kujo is the typical "blank canvas" used in so many anime to highlight only how much he develops by the end of the serial, but in all honesty neither of the leads is anything really special. The fun actually starts when one looks at the supporting characters equally there's literally a wealth of personalities and ambitions on brandish. While there is some growth to be institute for both Victorique and Kujo, it's the amount of characterisation that has gone into the minor roles that makes this serial interesting to watch. That said, the evidence does sometimes play fast and loose with certain events, and there are several occasions where the situation has conspicuously been contrived to develop a particular character in a certain way. Gosick may have its flaws, just that doesn't hateful it's a terrible show. There's a decent amount of detective piece of work in the serial that raises it in a higher place the likes of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes and Hidan No Aria, and while the mysteries on offer tin can sometimes be easy to deduce, there are also a few that contains some interesting twists on the stories that they've inspired. That said, this isn't an anime for everyone, mainly considering information technology relies more on the characters using their heads rather than the usual shounen tactic of solving problems by hitting them until they've gone away. In addition to this the element of romance in the story tin can often feel more like an afterthought, something added to requite the characters a bit of added dimension. Somewhat surprisingly, I constitute that I enjoyed this anime a lot more than I thought I would. The idea of loli detectives is no more laughable than that of a little old lady, an author of offense fiction, or even a mouse, and once I got over my initial aversion I found a prove that was interesting at the very least. That doesn't mean I'yard sold on the idea though, merely that'southward mainly because of shows like Milky Holmes and Hidan No Aria, which really haven't washed the concept any favours. If aught else, at least Gosick tries to redress the balance.

If yous are looking for a good detective series, this is not the show you are looking for. Gosick is not a detective evidence. It is a historical fiction that tells the story of Ministry of the Occult's endeavor to maintain political power against the rising of scientific discipline. Victorique, the heroine, solves minor mysteries in a Sherlock Holmes manner throughout the show. As Ridiculous every bit they may seem at first, the resolutions of these mysteries foreshadow events crucial to the actual plot. Although the conflict is not obvious until the second half of the flavor, information technology is nowadays from the first episode. Another important annotation to mention is that the show is also a romance. I would put it akin to Toradora. The romantic plot is of import to the overarching plot, but it does non take priority over it. If you lot don't similar romance, yous tin still like this show. If you lot want a good dearest story, y'all notwithstanding get that. Gosick gets very night towards the end, every bit the overarching plot becomes noticeable. At that place are scenes filled with action, specially towards the finish. Every episode build suspense and questions; every bit the evidence comes to a close, it does not disappoint. The staff of Gosick takes the unimportant details seriously. Small characters accept a lot of personality and perform their roles decently. The groundwork art is among the best of any testify I have seen. Every little affair was given time and effort by the staff, and that is one of the best parts of the show. If yous dearest music, this show doesn't accept the world'due south greatest soundtrack. However, the music is still very good, especially in the opening and catastrophe themes. As a warning, endings change at episode 13. Beingness a huge fan of the showtime ending, the second was a shock, as it is not nearly equally good. It is yet a very skilful song, once you've hear it a few times. The in show music could be better. --- Characters - 10 The lead role of the testify is a Japanese substitution pupil Kazuya Kujou. Kujou is an intelligent, admitting naïve, educatee. He trusts the myths of his host country, Sauville, but does not become entranced by them like the students of that land. In his home state, he is considered a pansy; in many ways he is, but in that location are times when he has enough of courage. He is not a toughened warrior at all times, but when other people's lives are in danger, he steps in the path of bullets. Although Gosick is not narrated, Kujou seems to take that role. Whenever the viewer is left in the night, so is he. Whenever the view would be confused, and then is he. When the evidence journeys into the supernatural, fifty-fifty Kujou keeps it tied to reality. Victorique is the graphic symbol that causes people to label Gosick every bit a detective series. People present her with cases, sometimes unintentionally, and she solves them inside moments. She constantly acts bored and rarely shows whatever emotions at the beginning. Her history is a mystery that is uncovered bit by bit afterward each case she solves. The only matter that is obvious in the start few episodes is that Kujou causes Victorique to change. She becomes more social and emotional. Her character changes and then much over the grade of the show that she looks dramatically different at the end than at the first (literally and figuratively – although the literal change is to emphasize the figurative). The changes make sense with the story, and do non distract the viewer at all. Each supporting graphic symbol has a articulate cut personality. Even one shot characters take histories explained briefly without distracting from the plot. This is one of the all-time aspects of the prove. The minor characters fulfill their roles well. Grevil de Blois, the only real detective in the serial, plays a complex role. He often becomes an obstacle to the main characters, but sometimes he aides them past following or ignoring his superior'southward orders. He changes as much as Victorique as the show progresses. Although Grevil is the strongest support, almost none of the others can be done without. I'one thousand not as picky on grading characters as I am with other sections. I am willing to give 10'due south to multiple shows, not just the best. In that location are requirements to get this score. The cast must exist well developed, have purpose in the plot, and fulfill their roles properly. Gosick is one of few shows where I could not find a graphic symbol I did non like. That being said, there are characters I wouldn't want anything to do with if they existed. In fact, that is the reason I'd requite this show such a skillful score hither. I recall that every unmarried 1 of these characters could be, because they are developed enough to accept realistic personalities. Story - 9 Similar the first half, the concluding episodes are full of minor mysteries. At this bespeak in the show, these mysteries are no longer random. The cases from the starting time half accept gained relevance to the overarching plot. The new mysteries reveal the most important details of the history within the prove. Victorique'due south past is revealed. The conflict becomes overt. This is an of import point in the prove; the viewer can see that the conflict has always been nowadays, only no one knows exactly what it is until Kujou discovers information technology. Also, information technology proves that the show is non a detective story. Although the heroine is treated as a detective, she does not change the prove. The conflict of a detective evidence is ever the same; the leads must discover how an event happened, and who caused it to happen. In the case of Gosick, the conflict present in the overarching plot is completely different: the Ministry of the Occult's final attempts to maintain political power against the Academy of Scientific discipline. The presence of the supernatural is important for the plot of Gosick. Myths and superstitions help proceed the Ministry of the Occult in power. The ignorant populace responds to mystical evidence earlier the scientific. Victorique offers scientific theories to cases, merely she creates them through unlikely ways. These theories too make sense when she says them, only they seem mythical likewise. This makes Victorique the focal character; she contains elements of the Occult and science in her. She represents both sides equally. The ending of the evidence feels rushed. The last episode is forced to switch between several characters, locations and times that it is hard to understand what is going on. While it isn't the smoothest finish ever, it still ends the story well. The disharmonize betwixt the Occult and science is resolved properly without annihilation being rushed. The resolutions of all the characters, however, are rushed. Equally the Second World State of war passes, viewers get to see where each of the characters are and what they are doing. Perchance the chaotic ending was intended, since everything that happened during that war was chaotic. Very few questions are left when the screen reads "Fin," and nigh of those are philosophical. Every bit mentioned in the characters department, this prove is also a romance. The human relationship betwixt Kujou and Victorique is very important throughout the entire testify. The disharmonize between science and magic still takes priority over it, but the conflict of the romance plot is directly related to the other. Although they are not the same, the events that occur affect both plots. When the principal disharmonize is resolved, so is the romantic one (albeit a romantic sub plot remains unresolved until the very end). In many ways I desire to give the story a 10, but I will not for one reason. The show that gets a ten in this field must be, without a uncertainty, the all-time story I take encountered. While I haven't seen such an interesting storyline executed in such decent way, I cannot say it is the best. That being said, I cannot say that about anything else I take seen. I'm picky that way. So go ahead and put a x in that spot, since it would have one if I wasn't stubborn. Art -10 The quintessence of art in Gosick is its dorsum grounds. From the insides of homes and libraries, to greenhouses and full landscapes, the artists of this show worked difficult on every detail. The scenery of the city most Kujou's academy is fantabulous; the cobblestone street and European style homes look realistic. Several landscapes are shown when the characters travel, and they are never reused images. Every time one appears, they look like places worth visiting. This is why I gave Gosick a ten in art. I would want to visit every place the characters travel if they really existed: from the lush green countryside to the snowy Alps (granted I could visit Italia for that). The scenery was never ignored or rushed, and I have seen very few shows that compare in the slightest. Equally for character blueprint, the show does not lose any points from that. Although it is non the best way to draw characters in my opinion, it fits the rest of art well. Because the art does not take any time to get used to (unless you've never seen anime earlier), with the combination of its simplistic mode and mixing well with the groundwork art, the grapheme designs practise not distract from the testify. Equally a note, art is one aspect that I'm extremely picky virtually. Art alone tin can determine whether or not a complete prove. Music - 8 The opening and endings of the show are among the all-time music the show provides. Yoshiki Lisa created an amazing opening for the show. Destin Histoire puts the viewer in the right mood for the prove. It is an upbeat song, but it is not so happy that information technology deceives the viewer (every bit the testify gets dark from time to time). It is not night enough to scare away people looking for a skilful story. Komine Lisa made the beginning ending, Resuscitated Hope. This song was a perfect catastrophe for each episode. Since the show often ended on a cliff hanger, this vocal just intensified the suspense. Also, appropriate for a testify title in the engrish version of "Gothic," this catastrophe has enough of Nightwish vibes. Of all the themes for the show, this fit the very best. Unity was the second ending of the testify. Also created by Komine Lisa, this song is drastically different from Resuscitated Hope. It is non unfitting for an ending for the show, and it accomplishes everything the get-go ending did nearly equally well. However, this song drops the score dramatically. It is then different from the first ending, that information technology is a shock to the viewer when information technology appears. It is non equally good as the showtime, then it seems quite worse than it really is. This should be unexpected when you go from a Finnish rock style to a folk style all of a sudden. For those willing to ignore the change, the song becomes bonny over time. Still, it is an immediate distraction, and unfortunately is the absolute worst part of the show. I give Gosick a generous 8 in music. I generally don't pay attending to in evidence soundtracks, and if I don't notice it, it deserves about an 8. I noticed this soundtrack from time to time, always in a practiced way. All of the openings and ends are songs I can heed to over and over again. This prove deserves a 10 for its work. I volition not give that score, considering the music causes what I believe to be the biggest flaw in the show. If the endings had not inverse, I would non exist as harsh equally I have to be.
The first half of the Gosick has lots of little mysteries that seem to accept little relevance to the unabridged plot. Likewise, for someone expecting a detective show, these mysteries are a fleck disappointing. Very little work is done in the actual investigative fields, and Victorique solves these mysteries quickly. While many people would detect her show a bit farfetched, it is fitting for the overall plot of the show. Victorique claims that she puts together the chaos effectually her using a "wellspring of wisdom." This is a horrible way to finish whatsoever mystery arc, if you want a prove like Columbo, Monk, or Law and Order. Still, this does not injure Gosick at all. After all, this show is not a detective series; it is a historical fiction. The first few mysteries help develop the characters and foreshadow the important plot points that come later in the show. Each minor event has relevance to the story, merely it does not go noticeable until the second half.
The character art in Gosick is basic. Information technology does not distract the viewer by being too flashy or by being of poor quality. The faces of the characters practice not have the details they could have, and my art styles surpass the 1 used in this show for that reason. Even so, plenty of detail went into the clothing of each character. Not merely were Victorique's dresses given enough of time and effort, merely even the supporting characters had well idea out apparel. Luigi, who appears only a few times, first appears wearing a ratty set of wearing apparel. The detail put into making his simple prepare of clothes look like he slept in the streets took endeavour that many shows don't put in.
The in show soundtrack is very good, simply information technology does non change much as the show continues. Nakagawa Koutarou does not ruin the prove with her music. In fact, many of the scenes are made much more dramatic due to her works. However, she is no Yuki Kajiura. A show of such loftier quality seems deserving of an amazing soundtrack, but it is left with an to a higher place boilerplate one at all-time.

Review contains possible spoilers.
I find that GOSICK is flawed and weak in every way, and to summon upward a commonly used cliché to draw an undesirable mystery,"it's like watching Scooby-Doo."
Then my first comparing will be how Scooby-Doo is, in fact, superior to GOSICK in terms of mystery. Scooby-Doo is an episodic mystery prove (similar to GOSICK in this regard) in which a cast of bumbling characters winds up with a mysterious case on their hands, that is always solved (similar to GOSICK). Different GOSICK though, Scooby-Doo always introduces it'southward culprits prior to the solution, and presents CLUES as to HOW the mystery is solved forth the way. GOSICK has no development in regards to it's mysteries. They are solved *magically* and I mean, without whatsoever clues or evidence nearly every fourth dimension by a "Xv" YEAR Sometime Daughter. She can spot who the cuplrit is by the way he or she holds a gun, for instance. She knew that the culprit of murder must be blonde considering it was sunny out, for another. Or how nigh the ever so flattering "the culprit is black considering it was dark out." Are yous kidding!? So in curt, Scooby-Doo is a improve mystery because GOSICK is not a mystery. GOSICK is a fantasy anime in which little girls can outwit their older brothers who have detective's licenses. As every review has said, Kujo is a garbage character. Fifty-fifty the reviews attempting to explain how wonderful GOSICK is mention that Kujo was a generic protagonist. The story is that he is a highly intelligent Japanese student who is transferred to an imaginary European country. And then nosotros have the Japanese highschool pupil cliche with legs as our lead. How creative. This cliche would accept worked if the setting was Japan in the 1920s. I am non willing to embrace this cliche if the setting is supposed to be in Europe though. But and then the teenage Japanese audience could chronicle to the story, they forcibly needed to add a poorly written Japanese boy as the pb? Kujo is so pointless as a grapheme and shows so little development that I doubt he was necessary to any signal of the story except to add together a filter for the audience to see through and to stir some "romantic scenes" with Victorique. Except GOSICK is not a romance. There's 20-two episodes of light banter between 2 archetypal characters, so two episodes of reversal, and we're supposed to believe GOSICK is a romance? Unless you are hands deceived past crying and enormously blatant drama then you lot might. This kind of finish can be termed equally "wrap up drama," in which the story lacks development for eleven episodes or then so in the concluding two or so episodes a dramatic plot is concocted to requite the bear witness lasting appeal, a technique normally used in slice of life anime every bit a way to terminate a evidence. My favorite (sarcasm incoming) part of said catastrophe though, was when virtually one-half way through the serial a "super serious ultra scary dramatic prophecy of not bad mysteriousness" was directly told (in a supernatural manner, once again GOSICK would've saturday far better as a fantasy) to Kujo by an one-time dude that he and Victorique would travel far autonomously and that they would confront grave misfortune for the remainder of their lives. [[[[SPOILER:]]]] Of course, GOSICK has a happy terminate. There's no point in introducing this concept of keen loss and permanent misfortune if it /does not happen/. Adding in uselessly "epic" scenarios and scenes into an anime does non actually make information technology an epic. At present a lot of reviews criticize Kujo, but not Victorique. Victorique is a by the book tsundere character. That's about the level of depth she has other than (once again, unrealistically) her incredibly mature voice. The prove really tried to explain her mannerisms in i episode past delving into her "nighttime and mysterious and emotional and begrudged" past. Oh my goodness, express mirth out loud for real. Oh certain, a trivial girl tin change the tone and pitch of her vocalism equally well equally the mode she acts by existence locked in a prison... her whole life. Is that scientific? No. Is that possible? Well without whatever facts, statistics, charts, studies, or maybe even imaginary facts, statistics, charts, and studies I would have to say, no! In that location is no logic behind her behavior other than "uh well she was alone for a while and then she completely changed forever." Reasonable logic, I think not. Across that her character is loved by many for doing pointlessly childish things and puffing out her cheeks much like every tsundere. And she isn't fifty-fifty voiced by Rie, so similar, what the signal is, I don't know. She's merely another piece of bait to concenter fans. What GOSICK really attracts people with is though, is it's Victorian setting (well, and having a modest blonde girl as information technology'south cover piece). A few anime share a like setting in a like fourth dimension period - Chrno Cause, Victorian Romance Emma, and Kuroshitsuji to name a few. The mysteries in this series are then convoluted that this setting isn't fifty-fifty necessary. Information technology's definitely not needed for the mystery, because there is nothing Victorique tin can't solve, essentially making her solutions equally inconceivable as having a futuristic computer solve the mysteries. It also isn't needed for the "romance" because information technology could have been gear up in whatsoever wartime period (or more than exact inter-wartime period, or post-wartime menstruum, or whenever more exactly). So what's it needed for? Information technology's needed for an audience is what I draw from this. It'due south needed so it can be slightly different, only exactly the aforementioned. Anime has only scratched the surface of the Victorian setting, and people are highly interested in such a fourth dimension, so information technology draws in viewers. I'm non trying to be a cynic here and tell you that information technology did all this to draw in fanbase but... I actually think that'south why GOSICK has the Victorian setting as it's time flow because I logically can't think of any other reason. Now if you're notwithstanding reading, I must thank you, because I'yard about to go into the muckiest part of this slice - the side characters. To begin unfurling this mess, I have to bring out the ditzy teacher. She does nothing except comic relief and drool over the other comic relief guy (whose hair is a drill, ha ha). The 2nd comic relief character, Grevil, Victorique's older blood brother earlier in the series is portrayed in every episode as an ignoramus. Yet he's the detective and his little sister solves all his mysteries. (What a fantastical fantasy anime this is!) And so in the final arc, much similar the two primary characters, instead of getting development throughout this 24 episode series, his grapheme suddenly goes grim and serious. This is non character development. This is a re-write. There is no character development in GOSICK, in that location is just a re-writing of the whole bandage in the last few episodes, that is just too unbelievable even for my willing intermission of atheism to hold. Another character is Avril, a classic dope supplying comic relief (but similar the aforementioned two isn't funny either). And then the recurring cast are all dopes with the exception of supercomputer Victorique. Single arc characters are the tritest of the agglomeration though. The antagonists have their flimsy motive or mysterious prophecy (most arcs tend to centre more effectually supernatural beliefs and occurances, despite the mystery tag) and all the side characters are ane-dimension at all-time. Victorique'due south mom and the Roscoe twins are really hilarious though, because they create such a crudely dramatic and painfully bad allusion to Alice in Wonderland. I didn't even know that the whole bandage was essentially a poor parody until the ending when Kujo was holding a volume with a white rabbit and niggling girl together. So apparently, their obnoxious roles every bit characters was to simply imply a better work! How classic! GOSICK wishes it could be Center no kuni no Alice, which is already a fangirl's rendition and (somewhat of an enjoyable butcher) of the original Lewis Caroll staple, forget Alice in Wonderland itself! Touching on music is almost always subjective in a way, only I just wasn't impressed. There were no tracks that caught my interest, the openings weren't particularly enjoyable, nor were the endings. The voicing as I mentioned earlier felt unbelievable, besides, because Victorique has the vocalisation of a forty-yr-quondam woman. And then I can't really complain well-nigh the sound beyond how average I found it to be. I'll end with the art and animation. Basic I've seen better from you. The groundwork art was really pretty squeamish, but was far too often engulfed past the ridiculous character designs. The blitheness in my opinion, was rather poor by BONES standards and the awkward positions characters managed to wind upwards in often amazed me, besides every bit the messy looking faces of the side characters. I did non find whatever character enjoyable to wait at, and I feel that Bones only had way too much fun with the bold line tool. Also Victorique has a mishapen and malformed Uguu~ face. And then yeah, I didn't similar GOSICK. Information technology was a waste of time to anyone who pays attending to item and/or wants a mystery anime. And yes, I can say that going into GOSICK I expected a mystery and in every mode I was let down. Because this is non a mystery anime, it is a fantasy anime, and I am quite upset that the database won't let me fix this misnomer.

This is a really nifty anime if you become in with the right mindset and expectations. Art: x/10. I thought the landscapes were very beautiful and the characters drawn perfectly. Sound: No problems…can't say much more than that. Characters: 10/10. The anime is very grapheme-driven and many of the smaller mysteries are used as plot devices to let Kujo and Victorique to interact and bail. I liked the chemistry between Kujo and Victorique as partners too. They complemented each other very nicely and made a neat team. I idea Victorique's character development and balance of brattiness, quirkiness and warmth was a real strength of the serial. Interestingly, Victorique's personality allowed the relationship between her and Kujo to featherbed an annoying cliché that I see in many other tsundere anime characters. This involves the "cold" graphic symbol displaying a gesture of affection or warmth at the end of an episode, so inexplicably acting similar it never happened by the beginning of the next episode. This strategy allows the series to drag out that "warming up" process by the tsundere character at the toll of making the character seem fickle and inconsistent. I thought that Victorique's odd, demanding and, at times, innocently sadistic personality naturally lent believability to that 'ii steps forward, 1 footstep back' approach. The "romance" bending storyline is integral to the plot and arguably the master focus of the series. I would go as far as to say that this is more of a romance/human relationship anime than a true detective series. Enjoyment: 10/10. If you know what you're getting yourself into this is one of the most enjoyable animes I've always watched. Information technology has enough plot to make information technology interesting and engaging while not going overboard with the dark/twisted themes. I had simply come off of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom and I was looking for a satisfying and heartwarming anime…which I got with Gosick. Overall: 9/10. I think they could take spiced up some of the earlier mysteries, developed the side characters a bit more than, and fabricated Victorique struggle a bit more with the detective work but overall it was exactly what I wanted to see when I watched it. Salve this anime for a rainy day. Misc:
Story: viii/x The story was very good and enjoyable. The storyline can exist divided into micro-scale and macro-scale subplots. On the micro-scale we have Victorique and Kujo's adventures/mysteries. These are initially piffling, stand-alone mysteries that revolve effectually the legends of the university where they study. As the series progresses the mysteries get interlinked with more of import and far-reaching issues. I think the mini-mysteries were the weakest part of the storyline, as they were waaay likewise easy for both victorique and the viewer to solve. Fortunately the dud mysteries don't destroy the series and it picks up. I enjoyed their attempt at a 'historical' macro-scale plot. They rewrite/rearrange a proficient portion of history but they practise reference actual historical events. Equally the series progresses we meet the eerie rise of powerful, unstoppable forces and how the characters get swept up by some of these events. I'll just stress that this is Non a Death Note manner deductive reasoning game of true cat and mouse. There are big and small mysteries that are adult throughout the 24 episodes but the main focus is on the character relationships.
Love/Romance: I would say high. It'due south not a typical loftier school drama but you definitely experience information technology.
Sex/Nudity: Thankfully none every bit 15 twelvemonth old Victorique looks like she's 11 years old.
Blood/Gore: Calorie-free. Most of the violence happens in flashbacks or in reconstructions of events. They show blood splatters and a few deaths but that'south about it. There'southward not really any glorified or stylized anime violence.
