| Great episode as always... wait Orochi, it just started, right. Loved Victorika's Yeah, i know it's wrong, but it's sounds like that to me. Their fault for saying "ka" at the end of her name. laugh, story's development is to my liking and... overally it was great what to say. ED. <3 |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Her laughter has to be the funniest thing i've watched in the whole episode. It was so funny. |
| With a loli and a weak male lead, I couldn't take this anime seriously. The predictable plot/mystery isn't helping either. |
| I bet the old dude gets shot. Maurice is a freaking nutjob |
| good job kujo xD thats all victoriques emotionless laugh was win xD |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| Her laugh is too epic. Good episode, but isn't the plot going too fast!? |
     |
| I hate cliffhangers. Kujo cannot die though he is one of the main character per se. They eliminated half of the people on board, greatly reducing the number of possible suspects. Hmmm... maybe they just want start the story with something simple. I also think the woman is also the culprit. I can sense her being concerned about the kids. |
| this episode wasn't that good imo but her laugh was the highlight of the ep ;D |
| I had wondered why the directing for this series was so awful, but then I saw it was done by the same guy who directed Heroman. When you combine that with the terrible writing (particularly when it comes to the characters whose motivations are bad even by anime standards) you have the biggest bust of the season. |
| Good episode.... I'm finding Kujo very annoying though. And the old man is a big suspect. |
| Umineko anyone? |
  |
| The ED is amazing... 433 play count on iTunes wtf. |

| Rocket pace says what? |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
Dhuaine said: I disliked it. Main characters decide randomly on taking that invitation, don't tell anyone (I guess?). They're let in despite the invitation was written for one person only. Nobody at the dinner says anything about 1) their behavior, 2) their age. Then there's one person extra but nobody else says anything. Victorique's revelations were obvious. Maybe the mystery will buff up in next episodes... I hope at least the mystery will not disappoint... I assume Victorique took the invitation because she thought/knew there was more to the mystery. As for why they were let in, I think it was likely because they were what people considered to be the "hares," which is why no one said anything. And I can only guess that no one else noticed the extra person; after all, they were all too busy freaking out over being drugged and realizing they were actually the hares. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from. And the mysteries definitely were obvious. otakuthon49 said: I don't know for sure, but I think this show might be about a series of mysteries and not just this one about Roxanne, the maid, the ghost ship, etc. Likely it will go into another arc after this one is done.Good episode, but isn't the plot going too fast!? Teufel said: As our male protagonist he is kind of pathetic, which is why people dislike him. I don't hate him, but I really do think they could have given us a more interesting lead to go along with Victorique. Then again, if the male lead were better Victorique might not shine as much.I don't understand all the dislike of Kujo. Sure, he's a bit generic, but I think that makes him a good straight man for Victorique. |

AidanAK47 said: Seriously, if it isn't her than I will be very surprised. The actor may be in on it as well as he also has a lookalike in the flashback. I don't think the mysteries in the show are going to be very difficult. Hell when compared to Umineko, mystery like this is cupcakes. They both could be in on it, but I think the woman is just playing along. Notice how she looks protective of everybody. It's like she's warning them. I think the real culprit is the actor. The woman is probably out for revenge. Maybe he was the true killer from the past and she holds a personal grudge against him. But as far as i'm concerned, this is becoming quite interesting. The mysteries might not be as difficult, but i'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. |

| vast improvement on the first episode and I am now really interested in what is going to happen next. Looks promising from now on viral_hun said: I'm pretty sure that woman is the culpri, they pretty much showed her in the flashback from 10 years ago's "Battle Royale". but...but...she is hawt, she cannot be baddy |

| I liked it a lot. as some had noticed the culprit probably is (just guessing , it isnt really a spoiler) : i may be wrong , but that's sounds reasonable :P |

Gogetters said: Umineko anyone? did notice that too... first time i saw them in one room, i immediately thought of Umineko.. except this one's got less blood, no magic, and no statements being declared in red... |
 |
| haters gonna hate, nitpicking and yeah, the mystery "ain't that great", but it's "BELIEVABLE" and can be done in real life, unlike those ambitious mysteries and detective crimes were seeing that only our omnipotent intelligent protagonist can solve and with tricks that can be done by even a "normal person"?? whose motive is like because he hate the person because his going to leave her and cancel their marriage. geez |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Loved this episode, love Victorique's laugh. This show is my favorite for the season so far (well probably aside from Kimi ni Todoke but that's been a bit slow). I guess I don't really remember hearing that ending song last time, I kind of like it. Really good episode, I will be looking forward to the rest of this series. |
| That laugh was priceless. I wish that the mysteries could be a little more difficult, but aside that I don't have any complaining. Like the others said I will be surprised if the woman isn't the culprit. Talk about cliffhanger. I think either the culprit or the old man will save Kujo. |
| <img src="http://enema27.host22.com/sigs/frosti/sig.php" border="0" /> |
| HO HO HO HO HO~ Douchebag actor. Old hag thats overreacting on everything. A really shady girl that's likely to be the culprit because of the resemblance of the story from old hag. A guy that's now mimicking touma from toaru that goes "ILL PROTECT YOUUU!". A loli detective that doesnt seem to have any emotion. Interesting.. |
| I'm happy this is nothing like Umineko. -__- I liked the episode, but the mystery and the clues were kind of ... meh. |
| I am speechless, anyone would have been like what just happened? But Victorique just went on streak of finding the clues. The story is really starting to get interesting and it looks like this one will very promising. |

Vanisher said: I liked it a lot. as some had noticed the culprit probably is (just guessing , it isnt really a spoiler) : i may be wrong , but that's sounds reasonable :P Wrong. Julie can't be the maid because as what the inspector said, the maid can only speak Arabic language. Also, there's something odd. In the 1st episode, Madame Roxane requested to send 11 'hares' to the box (At the proloque). So consider that she didn't get killed and went to the ship instead of Kujo and Victorique. There will be 10 people in the ship. So how she knows that there will be 11 of them? |
 |
| Though I get the tricks used by the culprit (where Victorique), I don't get the background... for example, in the first episode what was the maid's motive of killing Roxane?? 10 years ago, why was the children invited to Queen Berry? etc etc... Maybe I missed something while I was watching but yeah... |
| The maid, and Julie are survivors. Roxanne was one of the adults, and the maid wanted revenge. The purpose was probably some sick game for the adults. I'm liking Kujo a lot. He's kind, honorable, dependable, and quite skilled. And I see him wearing iron knuckles in the preview. Victorica is adorable. |
 |
| Victorique's laugh was hilarious! I loved this episode, I enjoy the whole mystery aspect the show has. The OP / ED have amazed me again, they are really well done. I love the style / atmosphere of Gosick. |
| Her Epic laughs are epic. Shes epic.. but her 'relative' seems to be a controlling douche. I see more drama and obviously mystery and suspense/creepy factors on the way in the next arcs. And obviously the relationship of the two from strangers to probably the most trusted people for each other. But thats par the course for this style of double protagonists start out as strangers possibly disliking each other and then grow to trust back up and cherish each other lol . (ill have the first two novels soon enough dsepite the epic slow shipping I ordered them before the Anime releases and not here yet haha) Also I liked seeing the full end its very well done, I just hope its remaining as loyal to the Source Material as possible- Also was it just me or does Kujou have Brace Knuckles |
| I'm also definitely getting some 999 vibes, especially when I saw the elevator and design of the inner ship as a whole. At this point, I feel like Julie is pretty much the culprit, if not because she was in the flashback, but rather, all the signs just seem to point to her. It all connects the whole plot as well, since the maid was seen in the flashback as well, leading her to kill Roxane. For the ending, I'm feeling as though yeah, someone shot Maurice back before he could shoot, likely Julie. |
 |
| I LOL'd at Victorique's LOL. That being said, this episode was a definite improvement over the last episode with the mystery and tension being scaled up by a lot. However, yeah, it is predictable and I have a pretty good guess at who the "mastermind" is behind all of it. If I'm wrong, I'll be very surprised (and interested to see their explanation). |
| I am glad I waited for the 720p version of this because quality in regards to details is more important to me in this series since it concerns mysteries. I have finally solved at who is the culprit. It is none other than the Arabian maid with Juile and three other people. Henchmen so to speak because of the 12 people, 1 was killed by a arrow, 3 died in the boat and five were left including Juile/Vitorique/Kujo/Maurice as well as Ned. Where the other 3 that are part of the 12? If you look closely at the Arabian maid, next to her looks like a girl to looks like Juille and another shot porves it further. Now look at how Juile looks grown up. See a resemblance? Another interesting thing, notice the painting behind the small model ship of the Queen Berry, it shows a crew after a ship sinks. All this leads to the culprit being that maid. I think her motive is revenge for getting her involved in the game where she played to survive. I think this all over 8mm movie with Nicholas Cage,where in the movie the culprits wanted to do a snuff movie out of a 16 year old, personally that's why I think the culprits had money and bough off kids from all over the world just to see them kill each other. It could have been a experiment to see which nation would survive best or in the end just something that the fortune teller predicted and the rich went with it. Apart from that I found Victorique being absolutely cute with her expression and serious look in the spoiler Next episode can't wait for Kujo finding brass knuckles and using them. This will be nice and is most likely a weapon that was hidden around that he found. Ned from what it looks like him beating up Maurice or Kujo although I doubt it is Kujo but that gun shot at the end will most likely miss since Kujo is still alive in the preview. Excellent episode as it immersed me into it gloomy environment and its mysteries. |

| Uhh, that red-dressed woman, she's one of the hares, right? And the blonde man too... I'm curious >.< |
 |
| It was left with a cliffhanger and then in the preview we see that Kujo is ok (it`s obvious that he will be okay, but still...). Good episode btw. |

| WAAAAAAAAAAAY too overly dramatic than it needed to be, also that's a horrible way to end an episode! Hate cliffhangers, makes the wait that much more unbearable ;_; |
| Wow that was certainly interesting, I lurve Victorique's laugh ohohoho |
| that was bad, such a let down after the promising first episode. I thought it was meant to be an interesting and serious seinen, but the second episode sees it becoming a shounen with all the typical cliches and retarded melodrama. also the pacing was ridiculous. this reminds me of what rainbow was like. hopefully this episode is just a speed bump |
