| 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. |

| 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 |
| @BigSimo Under genres it's listed as shounen... |
| Seriously, now we need to wait another week to know what really happened >< Overall I really like it (because it's mystery) and having a 2+ episodes story right in the beginning of the series make it different from others and more interesting. |
| I love the confident smirk Victorique has whenever she's attempting to solve a mystery. You can tell when she starts to put a pipe in her mouth. :) |
| "ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho" ~ Victorica No but seriously, I'm starting to love this show. Yes, the pacing was a little too fast and yes, the mystery was predictable, but wow, it still gave me chills. Victorica really makes the best faces too. Mainly when she's 'laughing' or scowling. xD Can't wait for the next one! =D |
 |
GarLogan78 said: The pace seems really fast. Can this really go on for 11+ episodes? I think the gun will probably backfire or something. Or he will just miss Kujo entirely. Another arc? Or there just was no bullet in the gun. |
| Aww, I wish I didn't need to wait a few days before knowing how the mystery will unfold. I love mystery. <3 |
GarLogan78 said: kleeny said: Can them call her "ve-ro-ni-que" and not "ve-ro-ni-ca"? I am pretty sure they say Bi-Ku-To-Ri-Ka (Victorique). Her name isn't Veronica... I saw it as Victorica in the original stuff I read about it, including the fan-sub of the manga that I looked at. I think that it is Victorica in the German version. I think of her as Victorica, and will spell it that way personally. :) stormgoddess said: With a loli and a weak male lead, I couldn't take this anime seriously. The predictable plot/mystery isn't helping either. In what way is Kujo a weak male lead? He marched into the police station and confronted Grevil about taking the credit for Victorica's detective work, he refused to let Victorica pack enough that they would have needed a caravan to haul everything and trimmed it down to one suitcase (love how that bit him in the butt!), he saved her from getting hit by a booby trap, and placed himself between a crazy guy with a gun and Veronica. He comes across as brave and quite capable in my opinion. |

| Much better than first episode.... Ship-Mystery is pretty good.... Can't guess what will happen latter.... Btw this reminds me 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors..... :D |
 |
| Good mystery series, still wondering how this is going to play out. Off topic: Victorique has the best laugh ever. |

Jto182 said: Off topic: Victorique has the best laugh ever. wah ha ha ha ha ha （´ ・д・ ｀） _______________ Damn I regret watching this from episode 2... The thumbnails threw me off when I saw this online. All I saw was a loli girl so I assumed this would just be some boring crap, can't think of the genre I'm talkin about. Lots of suspense looking forward to this show^^ |

I'm starting to think that the overall, or recurring theme is going to be these "hares" taking revenge on the old people who abused them. And I have a feeling that not just one person, but two of the people in the group are involved. |
 |
| Lol, Victorica's laugh is awesome XD Anyways, I think the mysteries are quite interesting, I've always liked this kind of stuff and how you solve them and expose the workings behind the scenes :D |
| Kujo will die in the next ep??... let's see. |
| Kujo.. so condescending... Victoria is a girl so therefore weak and needing to be protected. Just die you macho pig. Die. |
