seeing Cordellia was great, but I have to laugh at these "twins." The short gene is VERY strong in that family. I'm curious to learn about the history between these two warring factions and how Brian Roscoe fits into all of it. That old man who's so happy to see is daughter is interesting, too. Man he sticks out. But I bet that guy who was all talkative with Kujo is gonna be the real problem.

Holy..! Interesting episode. Victorique's departure was almost inevitable but I didn't expect to see her mother soon plus that she showed Kujo the way to Victorique...

Same here.


we are all thinking of the same thing...

and i was like "wtf is that giant statue all of a sudden?!" never knew cursing nuns are this powerful... well, of course, there's an explanation for it...

that old man wanting to see her daughter... he's quite creepy... i'm sure his meeting with his daughter would be anything but normal...

next ep we get to see the face of evil... XD

Aside from the anachronisms about Lithuania (still part of the Russian Empire and not a separate country at that point in the war) and German bombers (probably a little early although the observers dropping 8 or 10 kilo bombs by hand was how the first bombing started--the problem is that Lithuania was probably out of range for 1914 biplanes).
That they are German bombers doesn't have to mean they flew all the way from Germany they could have flown from a nearby captured airport.
I agree on those bombs being dropped by hands it just shows how quickly times change 97 years ago they where dropping bombs be hand 71 years ago they where dropping them by opening a hatch in the plane and now they use fully laser guided rockets.
About Lithuania it was established in 1230 so it was already a country before WW1 tho during WW1 it was indeed part of Russia but it was re-established in 1918 after WW1.
So it was a free country between WW1 and WW2.

There was also a episode about it in Darker then Black and i heard it mentioned in some other Anime as well.

My suspicion is, that he is Vicorique's father.
Or at least someone connected to Victorique being send there.

I am also suspicious of the dark haired girl who was with them at the dinning table in the train she seemed strangely silent.

Isn't the Marquis de Blois the blondish man we see carrying Victorique away from Kujou towards a castle in the OP? We even saw him talking to Greville with Victorique covering herself in that blanket this episode. The old man could possibly be Victorique's grandfather, but I kind of think he's more of a oneshot character connected to the mystery this arc (and if he was Victorique's grandfather, the show would have to explain how/why he's away from the village of the Grey Wolves or opposing the Marquis).

Anyway, this episode was alright, but I liked Leviathan's arc a bit better. Maybe it's the lack of the pop-up biography or the bigger focus on Kujou, but it just seemed less interesting. Ah well, at least we get more of Brian Rascoe and the main plot.

Well that was quite easy. Her mother must have let the door open for Kujo, he could waltz right in! Victorique's mother is pretty short indeed. I'm surprised she actually working with Roscoe though. I wonder what they're up to.

The nuns at the beginning reminded me of Index as well.

But best of all was this face. =3

I will give my props for mentioning Lithuania here and I won't lie, it was the first time I actually was interesting in watching Gosick. Even my tolerance towards Kujo was higher than usual. Although, I gotta say the episode itself was quite dull, except for the beginning and the abduction of Victorique.

And oh, the time when Kujo came across that ningyou made me lol. Since when dolls hit you just like that? You don't need to be a genius to find out that there is some reasonable trick to it and not just think it's some 'magic'. -_-

Looking forward to the next episodes since this arc looks somewhat interesting.

You know, same here :}
And I also think that the only reason why the Lithuania was mentioned was maby because my country is also known in the world as the Land of Virgin Mary. Yet, still nice to hear :P

I haven't seen the OP so i can't judge about that.
As mentioned i just think he is Victorique father tho i am purely speculating here and don't have any evidence he actually is her father.
We will find out who he really is in the next episodes.

Imo, there's no way he's her father. That idea actually crossed my mind but if he was, indeed, her father, his actions wouldn't make any sense. Confining her, showing no concern for her health at all and just using her as a tool and then being all sad and seeming to genuinely miss his daughter (as seen when they get out of the train)? Nope, it doesn't make sense at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he was her grandfather though, like memeki said. Even though, I have nothing to support that, it's nothing more than a wild guess.

The main plot is finally developing, which is a great thing and I'm starting to care a bit about the characters (took me long enough, hum?). However, I don't recall anything being said about Marques de Blois' Ministry of the Occult... Didn't that just come out of nowhere? Someone please enlighten me if I'm wrong. Either way, it wasn't hard to understand and things are starting to get interesting. The Science Academy and the Ministry Of The Occult are rivals since at least the First World War and Brian Roscoe seems to have a grudge against the Ministry. But at some point, that Jupiter guy who led the Science Academy took the memento box from him and now he wants it back at any cost. So, with all of this questions raised, it's the first time since the 2nd episode that I'm eager to watch the next one. What drives Brian Roscoe? What is exactly his relationship with Cordelia Gallo? Victorique was born and is being raised as some sort of weapon for use in World War II. What is it? To what point is the war eminent and how much does Brian Roscoe and the two organizations referred know about what's gonna happen? Now I just have to wait to find out.

Kind of a boring episode IMO. I did enjoy the crazy nuns and the Virgin Mary at the beginning though, that was very interesting O_O
Cannot say enough how much Victorica's personality is grating me. I mean, Kujo went all that way to save her and all she can do is insult him and tell him to die? Wow, ungrateful much? OTL
Nice to see her mother with Brian, though. I hope that they will bring some life into this anime. He's looking for some kind of box and it has something to do with that crazy thing on the train? Interesting o_O

Huh, really; not once in 16 episodes? It's a pretty good one too. Oh well.

Anyway, this is the guy I'm talking about:


And here's the first part of his conversation with Greville (happens around 6 minutes into the episode):

Note how Greville calls the man father.

Then the scene cuts to this after a few more lines:


Like you said, we'll find out who the old man is in the next episode or two, but he's most likely not Victorique's father unless the show wants to pull a very odd plot twist on us.

Cordelia must have found the elixir of eternal youth to look exactly like her small daughter.
I want whatever she's drinking.
She helped Kujo find Victorique but she's also working with that magician? So did she helped Kujo because she cared about her daughter or was it something else? Does that mean the magician is a friend? But the why was he talking about using a small wolf or something like that which i assume it ment Victorique?

If they manage to connect the stories we have seen until now to one big plot then i will take my had to them. At least three can be connected easily and there are ways to connect the others too.
What started now can be proved lame or awesome lets hope they manage to surprise us in a good way.

Seeing that scene from the past with all the preparations and boxes, it seems to me like those were the guys that pulled that trick with virgin Mary and had nothing to do with the crazy nuns. Some kind of an illusion trick,

I always skip the OP since i consider them to be spoilers they usually show characters and events which didn't appear in the show till that part yet.
I skip them on every show Gosick is no acceptation to this.
The man in those pictures could indeed be Victorique father judging by his hair color and figure, but maybe there will be some weird plot twist it would certainly make things interesting.

Things are starting to get a little wild and Kujo x Victorique got to a new level. The first thing I am damn happy about is Cordelia in the following,

her appearance was about time! Loved seeing her lead Kujo and seeing a up close face was fantastic. Cordelia's very beautiful just like Victorique except she is younger. It was also nice to see her with Brian in the spoiler
The final players are gathering. For some reason Cordelia's eyes are kind of sharper than Victorique.

The most important thing to me after Cordelia is quite simply what ups and seals further Kujo x Victorique with that hug as follows,

holy shit that was emotional considering how Victorique was before the hug and during it in the spoiler
damn that was super intense. I kind of knew from the start that Victorique leaving her hat with candies meant she was taken against her will. Really sad in seeing Victorique write in tears, no one should go through that in Victorique's situation but it was the only message medium at that time. Victorique certainly does not look good in that black hood. I was surprised that while Kujo was packing up Victorique's stuff of all people Greviel came but who can blame him when he is serious about it.

In the train the new character Simon Hunt is rather interesting and Brian Roscoe why I am not surprised anymore that he shall be seen more. The statue gag was hilarious as it hit Kujo. I really want to know about the young girl in the spoiler
who is she? The scenery 1 and scenery 2 are really nicely done! TBH the carnival in the spoiler
is just plain weird. I mean there girls that have daring dresses in a religious place, now that is plain strange.

  • I find that Jupiter and Brian's talk in the spoiler
    was rather interesting in regards to Brian's view points of the Ministry and why he would join with Jupiter.

  • At first when I saw nuns going crazy, dead people, WW1 German planes dropping bombs and appearing Virgin Marie making the planes crash in the spoiler
    in Lithuania during the 1914s, I was seriously wondering WTF, all this got real and serious with death lingering around.

  • Although Avril showed up just a little, she was still cheerful and showed nice concern for Kujo in the spoiler
    even going as far as worrying about him when he was not in class. Seriously Kujo/Avril/Victorique make a most amazing team considering that Avril is a adventurer female!
Once again things are really getting good.

Grevil said that their goal was to use Victorique as a bait to trap someone. I wonder if that someone is Cordellia and/or Roscoe. The train guy will be part of the scheme too. I kind of doubt that he only sell clock x)
The old man was weird too. I guess her daughter was there during the war and maybe died.

I am honestly so sick and tired of these anime series. They usually have a interesting main theme, but they make a romance between the 2 main characters a major part of the shows. Problem is that the damn romance plays out the same in every single anime of this type. It's always the same. Main character is always the same as well. Dumb ass who hasn't hit puberty yet who wouldn't understand what he was looking at or what was happening if a girl dropped her panties and sat on his face. Sick and tired of MC abuse series as well. Such humor has it's place, but when it's overused and used in the wrong situations then it's just bullying and as i said, abuse.

Guess this post covered more than originaly intended :/

I'm rather curious how he did not catch her at the one bend. He was probably ~5 seconds away, and I feel as if he absolutely should have been able to get to her at that point. Ah well.

Nice episode. Kujo, you made it! I wonder what Simon's role is in the next episode, seeing him run around like that at the end.
