"It smells like sweets, even though it looks like dog feces!" -Victorique

[[: * Basically what my review is going to be like* :]]

After the first five episodes of Gosick i was actually ready to go sick, but i decided to persevere and continue. It was around the 13th episode, it became intriguing.

*Story* - Picture it a fake European country in 1924 where our main character a Japanese transfer student named Kujo arrives at an elite academy. Due to his appearance of black hair and eyes , kids refer to him as ... the "Black Reaper" (O_O?). One day Kujo wonders into a library that seemed to have a million stairs he meets an off-putting girl named Victorique, a short girl with long blond hair, who spends most of her time reading and solving mysteries for her detective brother (Grevil). So the story follows around Kujo and Victorique how they solve mysteries. The first half of the show was a bit slow paced but, the mysteries were mysterious, the romance between Kujo and Victorique was there but it was delicate enough for you wanting more.

*Art*- One word: Amazing. Well i guess it was three words. The art adds to the show.

*Sound* - Everyone knows that a good soundtrack helps push things along and intensifies the scenes but I didn't notice the soundtrack AT ALL?! Gosick's soundtrack is one of those tracks that make's you feel like paint is the most amazing thing ever. I guess the voice acting WAS the soundtrack >.>

*Character* - I enjoyed the characters but, Victorique was really good, with a tragic back story and goal to achieve. One of my favorite characters was Grevil. Mostly because of the hair. All in all good characters.

*Overall* - Its a great series to watch if you were passing time or you just want to enjoy a mystery.

I forgot to mention this in my review but Kujo is a boy everyone thinks is a punk, a short tsundere whose father is an retard and there misadventures with love together. It's kinda like a England version of Toradora.
