Eh is that Harmania in the preview? I hope its not. As for the episode, I love it. One of the episodes I enjoyed a lot.


you're not alone... when i saw the preview, i thought it was Harminia...

well, let's just see...

anyway, this is perhaps what Gosick should really be... i realized the reason why the first few episodes were quite a letdown for a mystery anime is that they have very fast pacing...

overall, this episode is just great... i love the way flashback is used to reveal the mystery... and again, there are historical connections... being a history buff, this is one thing i really love about Gosick..

next ep seems good too...

Well the case was really interesting, but all that gold being hidden behind a wall was unexpected and the fact that leviathan was an African who was buried alive to only get away really surprised me.

Ok this was a great episode. Victorique's dad wanted leviathan to make the artificial humans but he couldn't so he gave him the idea to make Victorique so he could use her wellspring of wisdom to protect the country in WW2 (WW2 because of what the old guy said in the village of the grey wolfs). I love this anime because it ties in with WW1 and WW2, and because I love the characters, music, and BONES. XD 5/5

What? That red hair guy was Victorique's father?? So that's why Victorique's mother was with him in one scene? And also the police's father?! And that boy who worked under Leviathan was that red hair guy??

No, you fool. Watch the episode again.

That's why I added question marks to ask for confirmation to what I watched.

The slice-of-life of the last few episodes was not terrible, but I wanted the main story back, and finally it's heading in that direction.
Lol at Victorique who couldn't touch Leviathan. That he couldn't see Leviathan because he is black is indeed kinda weird.
What I totally don't understand is how Leviathan could come out of his grave. Was he just buried and had a good position so he could breath or is he a zombie, I don't understand.

Really good mystery this one was. Leviathan's story was a really interesting one. he protected his land by providing gold and letting them believe he could make it from scratch.

We've learned some more about Victorique and the rest of the de Blois family as well. Who would've guess Victorique's father was the one asking for artificial soldiers. I lol'ed at the dramatic scene where Victorique reached for the mask but couldn't get anywhere near it. xD

Looks like Victorique will disappear in the next episode already? And is.. is that Harmania? Please no. -_-

Seriously, Avril is kinda dumb. Who would try to touch that rose right after Victorique said the outsiders must have been attracted by it and knowing that they had died?

Anyway, great episode. Better than the last few.

Wow, this episode was really good. The arc was pretty interesting up till this point, but this episode just made the whole story into a very real, believable, yet fascinating and tragic tale. This has really risen my expectations of the anime as a whole. I can't wait to see where this goes! :)

As someone who didn't care much about this show until now, I really have the urge to say that this particular arc was a VERY solid one and I enjoyed it fully. Maybe it's just because I'm a history faggot at heart, even if it's slightly modified, lol.

Holy shit and OMG for this episode. This is the best episode to show a mystery solved end result. What a surprise in the following,

there is over 10 000 gold bars in there with what if 1 bar = 10 000$ it would be well over 100 millions dollars. Victorique was quite funny trying to reach for the mask as she finished her phrase but Kujo helped her and what a MOE face she did in the spoiler
now that was adorable. Man, I can say that is one ugly face under that mask. Interesting to know that it was the result of one black person not being killed properly. This was common in the old days as no one would understand why this would happen and when it did everyone was traumatized.

Guess Leviathan held till the end for wanting to fall on Victorique. Well Kujo saved so that's good. Loved Victorique's pose in the spoiler
that scroll pointing suits her nice and of course it was not complete without the famous kick. The colonial rule was just sick in the spoiler
I know IRL slavery and the gold rush were a huge problem to human rights of today. What? You enforce yourself in a country to steal their gold and slave only to get rid of them later for fear of knowing where that gold is? Kill that king right now!

The other happy thing was Cordelia in the following,

so nice and young. Well done in portrayal and nice face close up in the spoiler
Unfortunate for Kujo to get owned by Brian despite putting quite a nice fight in the spoiler
but it was cool to see Brian do a smoke disappearance. That trap, I knew it was poison so easily that it was too obvious.

Some points of value.
  • It's obvious from the looks of fact that the Academy is officially a secret armory and of what Greviel told of Albert that things are taking a major turn soon. I can already see it from how Victorique and Kujo are in the spoiler
    The big gale is the obvious WW2. No doubt.

  • I found it rather impressive of how Victorique's powers can work out at a further potential as in the spoiler
    her vision turned as she went back in time and was like a ghost during the event. It may have been done before but that far back. This was more than 20 years ago.

  • World War 1 and Albert were rather well portrayed in the spoiler
    especially Albert's evil face.
Most amazing this episode was, I was moved much more than before and it was damn time mysteries came back! Again I knew some things were like that and it turned out I was right like the poison before it was even announced.

I did it in middle school for a science experiment. The thing is, you have to let it sit overnight to absorb the die. It takes like 8-12 hours to turn blue. You can't just hold it in your hand and voila, it's turned blue!

I dono if anyone else thought about this, but how the hell did he manage to melt gold? (Seeing as how Lan or whatever his name was died from gold that appeared to be in liquid form) I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you need a high ass temperature to liquefy something like that.

its useless to say that, he's an anime guy, they never go against girls, the more unusual the girl is, the less likely they'll fight back, such a sad fate.

Haha true, but in this show it's still alright. Try to compare it to Zero no Tsukaima, that was S/M that i almost dropped the show.

This. Wow, it was so lame, but I thought this was a great episode since the story was well done here. I just hate the fact that anime like tend to explain things thinking that the people who are watching it are complete idiots.

IKR LOL
Even if it was night, you still would have seen it.

I'm getting a bit ticked off at the show. Victorique shows no effort in solving a case at all. "Okay lemme dive into the wellspring of wisdom." A minute later. "Kujo, I have the case solved. Here is the solution..."

This was a good case but it was impossible for a normal person to solve. LOL I was just like "wtf" she Victorique started talking connecting the evidence about the African song to the gold to the alchemy. LIKE REALLY? WAT. LOL

...Is it bad that I hate the focusing on their relationship? LOL I just wanna see some awesome mysteries. That's all. Victorique is too tsundere for me. ;( STOP HURTING POOR KUJO! I actually think Avril and Kujo would be better.

And wow, it's foreshadowing the big plot of this story which obviously has to do with Vic's daddy vs. Kujo and the good guys.

I guess thats one way to make a guy sing, albeit poorly. Whats with all the offtune singing in this show? Why do they feel compelled to do so is beyond me, however, the african song did kinda fit at the end.

Also Victorica fail. Priceless.

This has been my favourite arc so far. The mystery wasn't solved instantly and enough clues were actually dropped for the viewer to figure it out or at least follow what was happening. I think the main plot is starting to take form.

Oh and for once, Kujo actually saves someone from getting hurt, normally he just stands and watches so it was a good change to see.

I think we saw a bit of fanservice with Grevil's hair being down in the previous ep so that was a bonus too.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!
