| Excellent ED--it looks like they might plan a different one for each episode since that was very harlequin themed. Just because this takes place in the 1920's, don't assume that it is Gosick second season (after all the library is in a basement not a garden tower). Foolish human, you really should ask just what responsibilities you are taking on before you read the key.... Also interesting to note that some of the most famous grimoires had "key" as part of their titles. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Dat Yiiss! Probably my new Gosick of the season. |
| Got my hopes up too high, not what I expected (like the key unlocking and all)but its all good still It like Gosick, though both stories are good Arts good, voice actors are good ( Daisuke..... <3 ) Ending creep the heck out of me =___= |
| I thought the ending was a ridiculous joke. |
 |
| Interesting. I can't say I particularly like the casting of Sawashiro. |
| Shakugan no Gosick!? Meh to be honest I'm not finding this so interesting because I feel it's just too generic. Generic might not be the right word but that's the only one I can grasp right now. |

| So Gosick season 2 is a go! So what happened in this episode? Stuff lots of stuff happened. The characters are boring though. Blondy can fight and Tsundere loli is mildly tsundere. Which I normally would not mind, cause I have distaste for tsundere character's that are all tsun with no dere. But bleh. It was just bleh overall. It's like you have a good idea but no heart to the story. But hey it's only the first episode...so who knows maybe it will get better? However, the animation of the reading of the magic book was beautiful and over all the animation is well done. And the ending...wtf. I was a bit creeped out. Honestly though it was probably the most interesting thing up of the first episode. |
   |
| Yes! (ok nice change for saying hai) |
| Huey is the most interesting male protagonist this season. How come more can't be like him!?! |
| Nyuh, really like Huey as a protagonist; he's very smart and down to earth. : ) Dalian's just a bit of a Victorique with a more gothic fashion sense, haha! I mean the library as well, come on. Thought the episode was okay, not brilliant, however I will keep watching - it does have some potential to become quite good. |
curiouser and curiouser :) |
| That was crappy in almost every possible way. I don't believe it has any chances of redeeming itself, so it's a drop right off the bat. |
 |
| I totaly skip the ed song when I saw real life portrait ....I usually skip all the ed song for Anime. but I try listen to this one . a very gothic feel on the ed song. not a very catchy song thou |
| Gosick + Index + Dragon Crisis = this skipped most of the episode because of it was too similar to those 2 also european theme again........yeah gave up on this |
| wow going by the posts i see people have linked this to mostly gosick, personally i thought pandora hearts would be more fitting especially considering there is an alternate world, demons, and tsundere lead in play lol (sorry if anyone else mentioned it before, i didnt bother going through the 2nd and 3rd pages) ANYWAYS +100 points to Huey for being such a pro male protagonist, smart and dexterous = awesomeness I was actually surprised the key was used to open Dalian's chest, totally uncalled for, but hey surprise element is very much welcome ;) First episode looks quite promising (freaky clown girl in the ending scared the hell out of me though, hurray for the fitting ED woot) Edit: woot looks like Vaanskylord said it before me XD~ |

| Oh, that ending. |
| Yes, I agree with the Gosick, Pandora Hearts, and Index vibes going on here. Despite that, I quite liked this first episode. It was rushed, but the characters seem interesting and likeable. My full thoughts on the episode are here on my blog. I'm hoping for good things from this series! I quite like the fantasy concepts in this. |
| pretty good if I must say |
 |
| It was good for the most part, though the contract and reading of book took a lot of time. Premise is interesting. I'm surprised at the lack of surprise of Huey when the enemies turn to ash and his sudden acceptance to all that's happening but that's a big plus I guess. Also he can defend himself. And I could listen to Sawashiro Miyuki's voice here all day <3 Looking forward to this. ED is just =_= |
 |
| ok first of all, although he is skilled and obviously very intelligent, no one adapts to a situation like that so skillfully. i hate how the would be "hero" always knows what to do without hesitation. secondly....the whole notion that somethings are not meant be known or seen needs to be dropped. that is the sort of thing that people decide after having seen/known them. humanity does not need to be protected or saved...it needs to be given a chance to destroy itself or save itself without interference. i can already tell i would not like this show but ill give it another couple episodes. |
| Eh, seems pretty basic. Nothing really new or exciting here, besides hearing Daisuke Ono (which is probably the only reason I started watching this). |
     |
| The novel is better and I'm pretty sure that this episode was a filler but I will stick around. |
| I thought this was a pretty good first episode... I def will continue to watch. I enjoy the setting and the overall 'eerie' feeling - def a Gosick vibe. |
  |
| Loved it. |
 |
| Interesting first episode, it had a nice feeling to it but the whole anime will have a sort of creepy/thriller like feeling I guess? Dalian kinda annoys me, she's so spoiled and acts like she knows everything better... Why do almost all female (main) characters nowadays have to be so cold and bitchy? What's up with the english "yes"? Why doesn't she do anything to help him while he's fighting for their lives (and she's always standing still as if counting on him to save her -_-) and I sort of dislike her hair, it's such a strange color o.o I do like Hugh, he seems to be a nice guy and I think he's kinda interesting :) Omg the ending was fcking creepy O.O" |
| i agree its like gosick and shana mixed. the ED was creepy and i didnt like the song but i thought the girl at the end was pretty badass. i hope this is good. i really love daisuke ono and miyuki sawashiro so i have high hopes. i am getting realllllllyyy sick of tsunderes....... can dalian pleaseeee have a normal personality??? |

| I liked the episode, but the ED scared me. Lots ._. |
 If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3 |
| Dalian is annoying as hell.. The ED was super awesome it's unique and different from the usual mainstream boring EDs.. |
 |
| The whole large number of forbidden books reminded me of Index. |

| I was just excited for this anime, I wasn't expecting too much out of it, but I thought it was pretty interesting. No, I haven't watched Gosick before, but I dunno, I like the feel to this. I think Sawashiro Miyuki's voice acting was a little different this time around, but nothing bad at all. Same goes for Ono Daisuke's, though it sounded a lot softer. The animation was really nice and I'm looking forward to the later episodes to come. |
Falsey said: Maskonna said: Did you like it ironically?Dalian is annoying as hell.. The ED was super awesome it's unique and different from the usual mainstream boring EDs.. Nope I've never liked any ending.. |
|
| Well, this looks quite cool! I love animes that take place / have a Victorian era feel to them. I love the creepy feel to it. The ED was marvelous, and you don't see stuff like that very often. Very, very well done, and it completely matches the creepy aura from the rest of the anime. Art was very nice, too. I love that technique of taking actual photos then doctoring and distorting them. I definitely have high hopes for this anime. I am definitely going to continue this. |

 |
| Only episode one is out and it is awesome! I love this series! |
| The ending really scared the life outta me D=, that's a first. |
 |
| nice start. I like it. but the ED is kinda scary |
     |
| My two must have factors for not dropping an anime are typically an original plot (or at least an interesting idea) and characters depth. (I have zero tolerance for cookie cutters and Mary Sues.) Obviously the first episode would be way too early to judge these things. Still, so far Dalian bores me- I feel like I've seen that "personality" way too much lately- and with the other one, I'm still undecided. I like how he seems to be intelligent, and the general air he gives off is a bit refreshing, but I still need to see some defining trait. It's a nice change to watch a levelheaded character go about, just I wish his only excuse for strolling though that mansion in a near emotionless manner wasn't "It appears that I don't have time to be skeptical" Or maybe that problem lies with how this episode as a whole seemed somewhat rushed. Despite all this, my interest has been caught, so I'll test out the next couple of episodes or so. |
| Interesting first episode. The ED was quite nice. |
 |
| FOR ME ITS SOME KIND OF ANOTHER VERSION OF GOSICK....BUT ITS STILL SO MOE FOR ME SO ITS ALSO GOOD...SHE LOOKS LIKE A LOLI...BUT I QUESS SHES NOT AS OLD AS HER LOOKS....A HUNDREDS YEARS OLD MAYBE?..BUT STILL LOLI LOOKS FOR IT STILL OK FOR ME!! |
