It might be good, it might be bad. I might watch an episode or two when it airs just to see for myself.

Also, I have a feeling this might turn out to be pretty popular for some reason.

Very promising.Mystery is my favorite genre so I'll watch it.I hope it's an unorthodox mystery though.

I see. I was all ready to write this off as just another boring shounen but then I found out Saitou Chiwa (Senjougahara) might be voicing the female lead and Irino Miyu the male lead, at least based on the drama CD. Might be a little interesting now.

Apparently Kuuchuu Buranko won the same award in 2004. Interesting. I see.

Also this.

P.S. Why not just call it Gothic...?

YES! I've been waiting for this!
I read the first volume of the light novel long ago and later read that Tokyopop dropped it. Now they released the second volume all of a sudden + an anime adaption is on it's way! I'm buying the book first thing tomorrow!

Looking forward to the anime. IIRC, Victorique (the female protagonist) is supposed to have a really gross voice because of her pipe smoking. They'll probably change this though ;P
She kinda looks a bit like Shinku from Rozen Maiden, so maybe Sawashiro Miyuki would work as her VA.

I'm glad to see more and MORE LN get animated. I hate watching mainstream anime like Naruto or One Piece.
I'd prefer to hear about TAMNI season 2 though.

Haven't read the novel yet, but i'm been kinda taking quite a lot of attention to Gosick, since the art is somewhat cool. Hope to see it soon.

According to Moonphase,BONES will animate this.Sounds good to me but this is odd because as I recall, BONES never did any light novel adaptation.

Donno if they keep the drama cd cast but BONES has tendency to replace the original drama cd cast with newer cast.

Yes!! Bones will do it:D I was scared that the rumors were wrong, but I'm glad it was true. But waiting Jan 2011 is far away..

Yeah, maybe in Bizarro land. But in real life, we associate Bones with quality.

Thanks, I just had a good laugh. Bones used to be associated with quality, that's for sure, but they haven't produced a quality title since Sword of the Stranger, and you should be an extremely ignorant Bones fanboy to be unable to realize that. In the last two years, all they produced is a huge pile of shit.

Well, as long as you know the minority agrees with you it's perfectly okay.

Studio doesn't really matter now a days. Gainax is about to make shit title. (pantsutoking) Shaft fails at quality and time management (SHAFTED). Kyoani is endlessly eight. Madhouse make anime original ending and kills everything. Production IG waste their money on useless movies that is bound to be failure. AIC has extremely inconsistent quality. Manglobe made Boobsmith. PA work is always generic. Deens is Deens. Iono about A-1 studio. Only studio that is constantly releasing top quality series is Brain Base currently, imo.

No-studio is perfect, so it is pretty absurd trying to justify anime's quality even before its release, just because of the studio's name.

I want and don't want this at the same time.
I deeply enjoyed being one of the three people who knew about the series, after all.
