| I alomst fell asleep while watching this episode... so boring |
Zepwich said: I never thought a show could match Shiki in terms of hair  XD Lol I agree! Overall this episode was alright. I hope it gets better because the maid being the murderer was obvious. |
| Hm, it was good enough I guess. I just hope that the mystery part picks up, and that Kazuya develops some kind of personality. |

| I already think this might be my favorite of the season. There was nothing I disliked about the episode. It was quirky, cute, beautiful, and intriguing. Victorique was absolutely adorable with her pouting and rolling on the floor out of boredom and Kujo was actually a very interesting male lead. The two have great chemistry and their seiyuus are perfect. I found myself engaged in the whole pace of it all one minute, and stuck in a giggling fit the next from the soft humor. The OP and ED were both stunning to boot as well with really nice songs (I can't wait until the singles for them are released.) The OP was especially impressive with the style they did. Overall, I'm dying for the next episode already, and that's a good sign in my book. Definitely one to keep an eye on this season. |
 |
| ROLLL ROLLL ROLLLLL~ *kick* Her random rollings are so adorable. That guy with the awesome wierd hair had quite a lasting impression..without that hair I doubt he'd catch that much attention. I would really like to stay in that library and read but those stairs are...breathtaking..in many various ways..wonder if the guy would spend the rest of his days climbing up stairs. |
 |
| All right, this episode is imo, trash. The characters (espc. the main) is unlikeable, the interaction was too rushed an unclear, the plot moves too fast and would make anyone new to the series left confused. I was expecting more from this series, Bones, don't let me down... |
| I think it was rather boring but there's something about it that makes me want to watch the next episode. |
| this is exactly what i expect from Bones... awesome... OP is good... ED is even better, with the stormy atmosphere fitting well into the song.. as for the anime itself, quite a good episode.. though it seemed fast paced to me... Victorique - yey! 5/5 Grevil's hairstyle - dunno what you guys are talking about Shiki, since i didn't watch it.. anyway, i read the manga/LN, so I'm already used to that weirdo hairdo... 4/5 Victorique rolling on floor - moe. just moe. 6/5 i have very high expectations for this anime, and so far i'm very much pleased with it... looking forward for teh next episodes... :) |
 |
| Interesting episode at the very least. I love ED's song xD As everyone else said already, the show really gives a good mystery vibe. Can't wait for the next episode. A generic 9/10 for now :D |
| An amazing first episode, it gave me a really good impression. I enjoy the characters, the one guy's hair is pretty ridiculous :P I love the OP, and the ED is good as well. |
| Looks like a mystery/comedy anime. Will have to see more episodes to decide if its good or not |
| After Aoi Yuuki's epic fail with Sunako, she's bouncing back with Victorique...just simply adorable. |
 |
| for now it seemed good. i still don't know wether i like it or not. i feel that there is missing something in the first episode though.. well i'll wait for the next episode to come out^-^ |
| Victorique looks cute when she pouts. Also loving the fact that Yuuki Aoi is her voice actress. ♥ |
Aeterna said: Agreed. Kazuya and Victorique both have rather bland personalities but together, they play off each other well. Well, this show impressed me. I wasn't sure about this anime when I saw it in the lineup but this episode got me hooked. Kazuya was a bit plain and boring and Victorique is rather interesting but also a bit plain. Though she was adorable when she was rolling on the floor(needs a gif of that) and when she puffed out her cheeks. Not much character introduction and overall plot here but maybe we'll get to that in the later episodes. Definitely sticking to this show. I still can't believe that Inspector dude with the weird hair is voiced by Hei and King Bradley xD. |
 |
| Looks good actually and with the mystery in this one will be pretty good on top of that the comedy sort of helps everything run smoothly, can't wait till episode 2. |
 |
| That old wretch taking my name ^_- |
| Victorique is lovely, she's has the bossy and bratty attributes of a typical Rie loli with a very mysterious side without the tsundere and with all the cuteness. Nothing much in this episode but I'll give this one a chance since it has some good potential. It may end up to be underrated like Otome Youkai Zakuro. |
 |
| liked it, liked it, liked it! ♥ something promising this winter. :) |
| The episode was a bit slow for my liking but it seems interesting enough, so I'll keep watching it. |
 |
| It's a starter anime. One of those series you'd encourage a naive beginner (who is probably around 12 or 13 years old) to watch in order to get their feet wet before they move on to greater pastures. As I've been watching anime for a while now, it carries no interest to me whatsoever and I'm dropping it. |
 |
| Really nice, I didn't expect to like this series that much. I just hope I can update ths soon (since the lag is keeping me from it). |
| They meet and already start traveling to i donno where? like wth O-o doesn't he NEED to go to school or something.. even when his parents told him to go to school and they will wait for him and so on. An then he meets a girl, who looks like a doll, suddenly a dude comes like i donno where, and later they start travelling like nothing else matters (like they aren't students at all). >.> i liked when he was isolated from the class and such.. i don't think if i will like this story.. anime mysteries like these are really simple somehow.. : / i guess i'll try to see 1 ep more. |
 |
| After watching the subs, I can't believe that the Arab maid is the culprit. Why would the culprit show the gunshot in front of everybody? Does that mean she wants to go to jail or perhaps she is a psycho? Even a kid would point out towards the maid because she was holding a gun. There's no even need to consult to Victorique.Anyway, the motive wasn't revealed clearly so I'll check the next ep next week xDD If they skip onto the next case well I'll just sulk for being confused... |
| Loved it! The male lead isn't annoying and whiny (like some other shows this season..), the plot seems to be moving pretty quickly, and the "mystery" of the episode was interesting and I was thinking about who the culprit could have been the whole time the guy with the crazy hair was explaining the case, and I ended up being totally wrong. Can't wait for more! [= |
| ow snap, this show is awesome! And that Grevil guy has a hairstyle combo between Ryunosuke (Shaman King) and Kuwabara (Yu Yu Hakusho)...but he's funny as hell XD and the loli Victorique is so cute; especially when she made that puffed up face XD kudos to Bones for this awesome show...way better than Star Fanservice Driver, that's for sure. |
 |
| More boring than I had expected. I'm sure lolicons will overlook that aspect. |
| Really good the beginning od the story. I love the opening. So... Is me or Victorique is a twin of Shinku? |
| Victorique is cute (roll roll roll~) and the setting is lovely. I want a library like that (psh yea right). Unlike Kuroshitsuji, no character is annoying (yet) except maybe that megane sensei. I mightfollow this. Regarding the mystery, it really was a simple case, though I guess I wouldn't mind -too- much if it didn't have amazing mysteries. |
| i've played, watched and listened to GOSICK's OP almost like 50 times now and it never gets old on me. I absolute love the last parts of it. Best Opening Ever! |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Grevil has amazing hair. |
| I thought the first episode was pretty interesting, hopefully it lives up to the hype ! Though I wish it wasn't just in 480p. |
| As I hoped, this looks to be a great adaptation of the light novel series. I'm pleased with how Victorique's voice has turned out. =} This episode definitely condensed a lot of stuff, but I suppose that's what an anime would have to do. We didn't really get to know Kazuya too well, though. Regardless, a fun episode. I love the look Victorique makes after Kazuya does his dance. |
| I don't really like this. Either the mystery cases or the Victorique/Kazuya story... I wish it concentrated on the mystery stuff. |
| Meh, not interested. She's pulling some sherlock holmes mixed with cutesyness shit, I don't like it. |
| From the few new anime i saw until now this seems to be the most interesting. Of course that's not the highest of praise since i wasn't very impressed with what i saw until now but still good enough. The mystery plot is very interesting although the characters are too typical. It's an anime that looks to have an interesting premise but it might lose points because of it's characters. Especially the main lead is as uninspired as it can get. Why cann't we have a main male lead that is a real man for once? Who doesn't take insults and shit, who knows how to reply back and that has self confidence? The most sad thing is that when they put characters like him as main leads is the Japanese idea of the average guy. When they want to portray an average guy with the hope of the audience feeling for him as the average guys they are instead of some really cool dude that seems too much, they always end up with that kind of lame attitude. Are they as average people that pathetic in reality? Are the real average Japanese men so pathetic? I don't know about them but i can't empathize with a guy like that. I'm no Rambo or cool bishounen or anything but am not that unmanly. Their idea of an average guy is really pathetic. It seems they just can't show us a normal guy. It's ether some cool playing bishounen that flops his hair, an over-manly dude or some loser like this guy. Now why am i saying all this when is not exactly the only show showing a guy like this? Weill simply because this show seems promising in other sectors and it would have been so much cooler with a real normal guy and is kind of sad to lose value because of that. |

You're overreacting.It was just comic relief.Also,I don't think that you've seen enough of this show to call the protagonist uninspired,unmanly,pathetic and so forth.It's easy to be an ''observer''.You can call people pathetic without knowing their circumstances,their other sides etc. We shouldn't judge him just yet.We just...don't know enough.Maybe he'll show us an interesting backstory,maybe he'll develop as a character,maybe we'll get to know another side of him and so forth... |

| Victorique is an interesting character. Well, lets see where this anime goes, looks worth it! |
| B- but d-d- dat ED!! |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| This sort of solved my sudden craving for Victorian style anime, and it's a mystery anime also. ^_^ Looks promising since it's from a light novel. |
| I wasn't expecting too much but it's off to a good start. I like the characters (except for the teacher) and it was pretty amusing. The only reservation I have is this is a mystery and while I'm usually pretty worthless at guessing twists and mysteries this one was so obvious. Oh no, the fortune teller's been shot? How'd it happen? How about the maid who shot a bullet through the door in the direction the fortune teller was apparently facing? o.O Still great atmosphere and music, I loved the 07-Ghost OST so I have big hopes for this one. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| The characters are really cliche in my opinion, but I like the plot, so I see no reason why I shouldn't watch it. |
| Pretty great episode., definitely looking forward to this. I don't get how people call the main male lead spineless or wimpy, no personality i could maybe get but not spineless or wimpy to say in the least. I find him just as irresistibly adorable as Shinku Victorique. |
| A bit slow to start, but it definitely seems interesting. When I saw Dark Reaper climbing up all the stairs, I had a feeling there would be an elevator gag in there somewhere... heh. Victorique is pretty out there as well, but it fits well with the overall atmosphere of the show. This kind of reminds me of an anime twist on Pysch. |
