And I’m back! …With a lot of catching up to do. Summary: Introducing the Avril arc, short lived at only two episodes. Quite a few mysteries this time round – from a beheaded motorcyclist to an infamous phantom thief…or should … Continue reading →

I'm digging that we're finally going into Victorique's family history and all! Just at the right...

Best episode yet! Seriously, this episode was significantly better than anything we’ve seen of Gosick so far. The biggest reason was that second half, which finally took an in-depth look into Victorique’s character and her past. It’s an interesting backstory and it was well told, so let’s hope that it can keep this up. Having [...]

Episode 06 – The Gray Wolf Summons a Compatriot – 灰色の狼は同胞を呼びよせる (Haiiro no Ookami wa Doohoo wo Yobi Yoseru) This episode is different from the previous ones in one aspect; how it doesn’t solve all the tiny mysteries right away. Instead, we get a lot of background info about Victorique, or to be more specific [...]

Now that the imposter Avril is displaced and the real deal is put back in her rightful place, Kujo has himself a new blonde-haired friend to hang out with - something which leads us into the first mystery of this new story arc, as a plate on sale at a market goes missing in the midst of what appears to be magical goings-on. Of course, as per usual Victorique seems to fathom out exactly what has

Every week I tell myself that I’ll do the YuleBlog right after the new episode comes out. I rarely actually do. This week is no exception. Let’s jump right in where we left off, shall we? ———————————————————————————————– That’s right, we were going to look for a book. Good thing we’re looking in a library. Wait, [...]

was a total dumbfuck.  No really.  I am here to show you some shortcuts this author took.  Some really pathetic ones may I say.  I bet I could write a better story.  Oh wait, I am!  So here I am bashing Gosick.  A good idea really.  But you need a brilliant writer behind a good [...]

There is something fishy about Arvil since she acted so suspiciously from the last episode. This behavior from her could suggest that she is an imposter. If she is an imposter, where is the real Arvil hidden and what is the imposter’s true identity? Both of these questions will be resolved in this episode. It [...]

Predictable ending to a boring arc. Spoilers, if that’s even possible here. None of you probably know this, but I’m one of those types who always wear earphones and listens to music. You know those people whose attention you can never get because they’re too busy listening to something more important than you on their [...]

The best place to hide a tree is in a forest, and the best place to hide a book is in a library. But even this simple method is unable to escape Victorica’s keen sense, and she easily finds the … Continue reading →

Plot A mysterious book with a coveted postcard. A haunted storeroom. The legend of a soul-stealing fairy. The cursed 13th Step to Heaven. An infamous phantom thief. These are all pieces of chaos that have to be reconstructed by Victorique’s fountain of wisdom. But now someone is targeting Kazuya for knowing too much. Plus, how [...]

The secret about Avril is revealed and Victorique helps Kujo out of a pinch. Impressions: Well this wraps up the Avril situation and should let us move back into the novel’s material. Since apparently this little arc was from the manga it was interesting to get a different point of view. Talk about a rough way though [...]

Loop the 2 videos and combine them together. The result: Rolling On Floor Laughing. I sadly found the above 2 videos more interesting than all the mysteries in the past few episodes combined. If you pay enough attention and study the pattern the criminals are appearing, its pretty predictable. So Kujou and everyone else minus [...]

Gosick, needs a legit mystery novelist.  Conan Doyle is rolling over in his grave right now. Spoiler rigged.  But, I revised version of the story would be a much better read by not watching the anime.  LOL, I realized what I just said. I digress. A shit load of text without pictures.  Like reading a [...]

Well, I’m feeling well enough to get up to date on my anime and actually make a post, so here we are at week five of Gosick.  Last week, we had the addition of a mysterious transfer student, and this week, we find out her motivations.  It turns out she’s a fake, after a treasure [...]

So, you’re a bad guy. You know that the good guy has something you really want, so you go to the good guy’s room and turn it into a mess in the hopes of finding it, but you fail to notice that huge suspicious cupboard that could hide a small person. Um, tunnel vision? I [...]

Episode 05 – A Mysterious Ghost Is in the Abandoned Warehouse – 廃倉庫には謎の幽霊がいる (Haisouko ni wa Nazo no Yuurei ga Iru) Erm, weak conclusion much? The mystery that they were building up to around Avril turned out rather disappointed, though I’ll admit that they did keep me guessing as to who she was until the [...]

After leaving us with a couple of mysteries still to deal with at the end of its previous episode, this fifth instalment of Gosick certainly wastes no time in getting to the bottom of them; a process which admittedly only throws up further questions still. Of course, it's up to Victorique to do all of the problem solving around these parts, and this she does by pulling out the book which was

Short post today.  Feeling a little under the weather. I have a great interest in pipe smoking.  I like the smell of pipe tobacco, and the gear appeals to my instinct for fancy things.  If it weren’t for a pesky family history of death by aortic aneurysm (all smokers, naturally) and the not-insignificant risk of [...]
