Alright, here we go. Second half of the series, if all the places that tell me Gosick is only 12 episodes long are correct. With any luck, this is just the middle of this arc and not the end, because I still have a lot of unanswered questions. ———————————————————————————————– So they live in solitude, cut [...]

Hidden village in the mountains; for 400 years they have shunned contact with the rest of the world, becoming entirely self-sufficient. But once a year, at the summer solstice festival, they open the gates to allow those of their group … Continue reading →
