Yeah this arc was more enjoyable than the last two. The mystery did seemed to be solved too sudden though. Rich bastards thinking they can buy everything with there stupid money. Nice seeing them run in panic while the police arrested them.

In this arc Victorica was also very awesome because of that cold that lifted even more her cute factor. Liked her expression when she said she wanted her present.

Btw what was that thing with her hands. They where red and now they are fine, i didn't get it.

Confusing dream with the inceptor there. Did he said some harsh words at her at some point or is she just torturing herself?

I guess the final arc will involve that magician guy. What's up with that guy? I wonder who he is.

Closing i want to point to Victorica finally giving her fans what they were waiting for. Your fanservice moment.

i think it was wounds from when she saved kujo on that burning bridge back into the village. they dissapeared since the wounds healed.

What? As I recall her mom was dead. Or am I wrong?

Cordelia is alive. She was seen together with Brian Roscoe in episode 8. In episode 10 he said: "Be careful with lady. She has caught cold." and then we hear someone sneeze. She definitely was in that doll.

Oh! damn, I totally forgot that.....

she dissapeared during the first world war if i remember right.

Victorique was once more very cute!!(especially at the scene where she accepted the souvenir XD)
The whole mystery wasn't the best one though...
Looking forward to the next one ~-^

Hmm, pretty good episode, way better than the last one. Did Kujo even tell Anastasia his name, or do I just have a bad memory?
They really need to come up with better mysteries -_-"
Glaviel is awesome, but it seems like he has some kind of deep past with Victorica ...
That Brian guy shows up again. He seems cool lol
Jacqueline huh? Wonder what her relationship with him is ...
Not very much Victorica = win :D
"Last time" Kujou says ... HOW WILL HE SURVIVE WITHOUT ASKING HER FOR MORE HELP?! I mean, the anime's not even half over! ;O

Another that mind fucked is WTF at Cordelia with what looks like the shadow of Duke De Blois in the spoiler
seriously WTF? Cordelia looked she was traumatized beyond anything, worst tortured and hungered by being curled up into a ball.

Just a little heads up, thats not Cordelia on the floor, thats Victorique. Also, that's not the Duke either, thats Grevil. The next episode is supposed to be a backstory on Grevil and the new girl that showed up (I can't believe I already forgot her name seeing as how I just saw the ep 30 minutes ago.) and such. Kinda explains the title of the next ep too...
OMG seriously? That would only mean that Grevil is regretting his past and Victorica's has nightmares about it but then who would not. Guess it goes back to the following comment of my friend,
Inarius said:
....BONES can always turn on the mindfuck filter you know...
It's as Inarius mentions, I got trolled like for the 5th times in my own theories and assumptions so I can say for sure chaos is bound to plague thee mind but I shall still have the fun of either being right or wrong. At least I still stay by my words of all was being cruelty beyond anything at all towards Victorica. I wonder what made her survive through it. Thanks for pointing it out but I have a feeling something is up with Grevil because I doubt it was out of his own will. Someone forced him with many things among them I include coercion in many forms whatever they may be.
Monad said:
Btw what was that thing with her hands. They where red and now they are fine, i didn't get it.

Victorica has very fragile skin and hands. If you noticed it she has a quite a white tan. Thus her saving Kujo and holding him till he goes back from being KO took time and her hands exerted their max capabilities of holding Kujo. So came the redness of the skin being over its limits of holding. In this regard Victorica could use some gym but I doubt she will do that. ROFL!
Monad said:

I am sure this was forced on her, I suspect highly a form of mental torture or hunger itself with water deprivation.

Brian Roscoe, the man who gave electricity to Seiyrun. I always had my doubts on him since his first appearance.

Ah, this was good.

Kujo is still kind of a disappointment... why can't he bring himself to hitting women is beyond me. I have my saying... if a woman thinks she's hard enough to hit a man... then she is hard enough to be hit by a man.

That pipe holder cracked me up. The ED theme is still as good as ever.

After the last arch, I sort of felt like I should just stop wondering about such details. Lets just expect that there will be more flaws in the show.

Right now this Rosco guy is stirring my curiosity.

I didn't really like this arc, but it seems like a transition for more of Brian Roscoe. I'm interested in Gravil's character, since Victorique's dream seems to reveal more than we expect out of him.

All in all a very well executed episode. The tempo is still a tad high, but not by a whole lot. I expect great things from the remainder of the series, especially when we get to those inevitable arcs that Bones think deserve a lot of time (otherwise they really wouldn't speed through the material like this).


it's because BONES is planning an FMA:B stunt with GOSICK, to coincide the ending of the anime w/ the release of the final volume, Volume VII of GOSICK.
http://www.gosick.tv/special/index.html


So if BONES is planning in animating everything, you still have 3 volumes + 1 volume(the final volume) and two short stories. I guess they could do it with the fact they finished 3 volumes and 1 short story in just 10 episodes.

they really are one of the animation studios in Japan who loves making risk.
BONES, Brains Base and SHAFT, i just love this three. ^^


oh and Glaviel's original hairstyle is shown in the preview and if someone wants a better look, kindly look it here

I think BONES can pull off the "FMA:B" thing seeing as how they are doing a good pace and we're only half way done with the series too seeing how it's going to be 24 eps (as what MAL says).

Also yea, I noticed Grevil's "Down" hairstyle, looks much better. Seeing as how whenever I see Grevil, it's usually comedic so yea, a badass looking character thats comedic doesn't flow well in my book... Kinda also explains why he doesn't want to take favors from Victorique also.

I've fallen into a nice groove with this series. The first episode of this arc was somewhat frustrating, but that's understandable. It was supposed to be that way. This episode was the sweet payback. With a little sense from Victorique, Kujo's usual perseverance and Grevil's manpower the barriers were stripped away and everything was set right.

On a side note, that magician is back waltzing through the story line. It's clear that Victorique's mother was in that chest. I just continue to wonder what the hell they're doing together and what their purpose towards the storyline is. End game Big Bad? Who knows? But I'm anxious to find out.

Ehm, so the girl is supposed to be Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova? I just love references to actual historical figures.
Revelations about Jeantan and the Blue Rose were pretty much what I anticipated. Guess the mystery stuff in this anime isn't much of a mystery, but that was pretty much clear from the first few episodes.
Putting that aside, this was an OK episode and there was kind of introduction for that Roscoe guy, so I expect we'll soon see more of him.

some people comment on how this series is not as strong for a mystery series but is good with its characters and plot.

anyway, one thing i can say that this series lacks in its mystery department is the "lack of argument", everything Victorique deducted is already accepted as truth (but they do hold sense and are all possible)(in Detective Conan, we can hear Conan's monologue so we got to think along with him as he think of his deductions,there is also Detective Mouri who do his own deductions of the crime,thus,the argument) it's like watching the Sherlock Holmes movie adaptation where in Holmes did all the deducting himself with us just watching.

anyways, this series is still "very good" for me, i love all of it even though the mystery is not so "mystifying", they're still unique in their own way for me, w/o falling deeply in "far-fetched schemes" found in many detective stories today.
the animation, the scenery, the music and the characters,they're all win for me. ^^

So the reason Grevil's hair is like that not because he like that hairstyle, but was due to Vic. I wonder what really happen between them...

That glasses woman at the department store really shocked me. She knows kung-fu!! Luckily Grevil was "experienced" with woman that he easily captured her~

That magician (Brian) is there again. What was his motives? And I got this feeling that the girl that was with Brian in previous episode was Vic's twin or something o_O

I like the idea of giving a pipe holder in the glass slipper shape. It really suits Vic.

Bonus points for upping the ante by displaying human trafficking, but the actual revelation of the mystery was pretty underwhelming this time around. They took a better mystery and did worse with it. Oh well.

I got a justice boner :)

That ending scene was cute and funny. A pipe holder, wouldn't have thought to use it that way.

I'm really curious about that dream Victorique had. She didn't seem to be in good term with her brother... In fact, I wonder what part Grevil had of her imprisonment.

It was pretty obvious that it was some human trafficking. Unlike Grevil, I doubt they'll find all the girls... :/

That preview was hilarious : ''Beneath his twisted hair, he hides... candies!''

I liked this, but what I loved more were the hints at Grevil and Victorique's past, which somehow is still a mystery. At this point, I doubt Victorique isn't a normal girl.
