| ............Shinku? o_0 Victorique just reminds me of her a bit. The show seemed pretty decent so far, too early to tell much. Liked the OP and ED songs. |
 |
| I'm amazed by the atmosphere. Animation was great. And characters are really enjoyable. Especially that weird haired guy. Victorique is so cute when she's rolling on the ground!! x) It reminded me Sherlock Holmes.So i'm totally watching it :) |
| OH MY goodness this mystery anime actually made me Laugh hopefully it will be able to do that in the upcoming episodes all in all it was decent |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The very beginning of the episode with the cult-like group surrounding whatever the hell that was almost made me want to drop it right off the bat. But I stuck in there once I heard the OP. Already in love with that song. The first episode was alright. The beginning was slooow, though. I'll probably keep watching, but if the pace stays the same, then it'll probably be dropped. And the ED is spectacular, too. I won't deny the great music in this so far. |
 |
Am I the only one who noticed this? |
 |
| I was very interested in the fun characters and the unique setting. However, this series has the potential to become boring. It needs to constantly give it's viewers a reason to watch the next episode. I am definitely going to continue this series. I have high hopes for where it is going to go. |
| The OP keep reminding me of something like, its beginning particularly, maybe slow version of Gurren lagann OP song. |
| I only started watching this because of the fact that so many cute lolita outfits are featured, and also because Gosick is doing a collab with my favorite lolita brand Innocent World. I'm very glad I started it because so far this show has got me hooked. |

| New Favorite Show This Year... |

 |
| ♥ the first episode. :D |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| The whodunits are 100% boring, but the mystery behind Victorica will probably keep me to this show for now. |
| ED song is love. |
 |
Hehhh. That was entertaining. I'm proud to say that I guessed who the murderer was. But i didn't piece all of it together. I concluded that it was the maid because she got a gun and shot at the key hole. usually one would not aim for the keyhole, but the knob. i guess this is not solid evidence but that was what I went on. I ruled out the daughter because what she said did not mean she murdered her mother. So from the keyhole shot I thought it was the maid. |
| Frankly, it wasn't as fantastic as I anticipated but it is still VERY GOOD |
Yumekichi11 said: BTW ROFL at the following article: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/01/08/gosick-victorica-cutest-lolita-ever/ they just proved my intention that Victorique looks like Shinku from Rozen Maiden, which is why she is so much appreciated, mainly because there was not one like Shinku until now! Heck yeah to that anyone else with me? I'm glad there is another person who point that. Seeing from the 14th screenshot she dressed just like Shinku. I mean, they are both elite( yeah, elite). Have long-blond hair. Complete control of their partner. Both dress in almost same style( one is gothic, one is crimson) And the most notable:a doll which looked like a girl and a girl who looked like a doll. |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |

| I actually didn't like the first episode of the show. It was really boring to me....I've never dropped an anime so fast =/ |
| Loved it! This is my kind of show. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I find this episode rather amazing, considering that they had to cram alot into this one episode, even more so that it's only the first one. We got introduced to alot of the basic ideas and concepts for "GOSICK", such as the character Roxanne and how We also got introduced to the main protagonists of Gosick, namely Victorique and Kujo, Kujo is the typical average male lead that you'll find in any anime series, meek and polite, but he seems to have alot more energy then the average character, I like him. Victorique on the other side is alot more complex, she seems to be very educated and is capable of using complex words and even more complex reasoning skills. Her past seems to be a unpleasant one too, hints of this is shown when Grevil and Victorique herself seems to unveil something about not being able to leave the library/tower. We also got a slight insight on the "fountain of wisdom" and "fragment of chaos" she talked about more then once. That necklace of hers seem to have something to do with her dark history. She has her cute moments too, such as rolling on the ground or claiming to be bored most of the time. What was a pleasant surprise for me is that she's not "tsundere". she didn't snap back immediately when Kujo touched her, which is something I'm glad to see, there's way too many of this "aggressive-girl-deal" and I'm glad to see someone more gentle and subtle then that. She also seems to be rather playful and manipulative. Her disinterest of just about everything makes her all the more loveable! plus her outfit.....................more +1s for her! Did any of you see anything similiar for Victorique to Kuroneko of Ore no Imouta ga Konanni kawaii wake ga nai. To me, their personality seems extremely similiar, both being smart and witty, but isn't very good at expressing their feelings for others, such as thankfulness and enjoyment. They both have their cute moments too, which happens to be VERY cute. They seem to be the subtle type, that I like. and as of Grivel.........he's just amazing....amazing in that his character is charismatic and energetic.....his expressions.....marvelous...........and his hairdo........oh......so spectacular....never seen such a perfect drill. Overall, this was a great episode, The art is simply flabbergasting, it was so BEAUTIFUL, the soundtracks were amazing as well, we also got to see the Kuroi Shinigami first contact with the Golden Fairy, and there's alot of potential from here on, I have high hopes for GOSICK!~ ps: did they just leave Grivel there at the port? and they went on the boat by themselves?! |

| vic is just sooo freaking adorable, i wanna hug her, lol Kuro4735 said: Screenshots: |
     |
| Yay, another loli detective anime! Liked Vic from the start, she was just too cute~ Orio94 said: ............Shinku? o_0 Victorique just reminds me of her a bit. The show seemed pretty decent so far, too early to tell much. Liked the OP and ED songs. I also see the resemblance between Shinku and Vic. If another girl like Suiseiseki to appear, that'll be great!!! |
 |
| Well it was a simple case but it's good that it will be continued. |
| This looks interesting, looking forward for the next episodes |
| I enjoyed it =) gotta love Victorique rolling around XD |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| The mystery was a bit too obvious and the characters actions are pretty un-realistic. One moment the guy is scared by a little girl and running for his life, next he's giving her a lecture about her necklace. |
 |
| I like so far and the ED was nice as well. |
 |
| Not gonna lie, the first part of the anime (like the very first part) scared the crap out of me. LOL Anyways, the anime's cool. Not the best but I know it'll get better. The first mystery was pretty easy to solve. The characters are kind of odd. Quirky teacher. Loli loner girl. Weird hair guy. I'm assuming hair guy and the Victoria girl are related somehow. Yeah. I'll keep watching. |
| I like programs with an atmosphere like this anime: quiet, smart, mysterious and from the past century! |
| Interesting .. very interesting |
 |
| Victorique is much like a female Sherlock. I think I'm gonna like this. |
| "If you can eliminate all the other choices, the remaining choice, no matter how improbable, it is the answer."- Sherlock Holmes |
| Decent start. I like the dynamic between Victorique and what's his face. |

Iilia said: Zepwich said: I never thought a show could match Shiki in terms of hair <img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3766/capturexmq.png" border="0" /> XD QFT. I thought the exact same thing. "Did this guy jump out of Shiki, or what?" Great minds think alike! XD Love the animation for this show. I want a dress like Victorique's even though I hardly ever wear dresses... Seeing her rolling on the floor like that was cute, too. Her mannerisms are just great. The pipe did give her king of Sherlock Holmes feel, but I didn't really like it. I mean, cute girl in a gothic dress and... a pipe? Okay. Didn't look like she had it lit, though. Kazuya seems kind of bland, just like someone else already mentioned. It's only the first episode, so that could change in no time. I. Love. Libraries. My jaw-dropped when I saw the huge winding staircase and the paintings on the cieling. It's kind of stupid, but I always love stuff like that. Like Beauty and the Beast's library, Fable 3's Reliquary, or even the school library in Kami Nomi for Shiori's arc. All in all, I loved this episode. Only major complaint: The so-called mystery kind of sucked. I knew right away it was the maid. Wasn't that just too obvious? Seems like this is only the tip of the iceberg for said mystery, though, so hopefully it'll get better. I wonder, is the whole show going to focus on this one mystery, or a series of mysteries like Ghost Hunt and Shinrei Tantei Yakumo? Sounds cool either way. wait why didnt the fortune teller even bother to answer the maid??if someone is telling you that there is someone after your life, your first reaction would probably be asking things instead of following instructions? |
It's amazing how time can change a person, but those memories and moments will still be in our heart, even if those moments are gone like tears in the rain.  |
| Ah, such a nice vibe! I loved it A Victorian Era feel, with a prestige school, a library with a garden on the top floor and solving mysteries? The characters seem like a lot of fun too, especially Victorique. I'm definitely watching this! |
 |
| I love the opening and ending *u* However there is one syllable that bugs me to know end This is the actual lyrics: "Loneliness, fighting back again, Seems to be like it never ends, Gives us hope through the love of Peaceful shine on me" I like it better being: "Loneliness, fighting back again, Seems to be like it never ends, Gives us hope through the love of peace, Moon shine on me" Anyone else find that it bothers them? Should I just sing it incorrectly because it's proper English? Haha |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| That was a nice episode! Love the op and ed. <3 |
 |
| another amazing episode |
| Pretty great start, even though we didn't really get to know anything about anyone :D I'm already liking Victorique a lot, Kujou is also nice so far. I like the victorian era style, the school, the huge library with the garden on top and everything :D The OP and ED seem good, we'll see if it will stick to me. I really liked how the ED started just before the actual ending (I like when an anime can pull this off) and the storm just made it even better. Will definitely watch more :) |
 |
| This was a nice first episode, not giving much away. I just hope that the second episode is better in terms of the mystery because, honestly, I just didn't feel it on this one. |
moniilove said: This was a nice first episode, not giving much away. I just hope that the second episode is better in terms of the mystery because, honestly, I just didn't feel it on this one. If you're looking for some sort of OP mystery solving duo than you best look elsewhere. I love this show, but it's hardly an adequate mystery anime. |
 |
| Strange start to a strange anime. Story seems to be moving in the next episode, will continue to watch |
| The first mystery aint really much of mystery. It was predictable. |

| Those are some hellish stairs... Damn, how can he run full speed in some scary stairs? That detective is a jerk. He guessed everything wrong and takes the benefit. Their relationship sure is evolving fast. They're already on a trip opn a luxurious boat!... that will probably sink x) |

| solid episode, kind of hard to follow sometimes, i think my hopes for this show are to high |
