| Victorique's looking more and more like her mother these days. The biggest difference between them now would be that Sawashiro Miyuki > Yuuki Aoi. And well, I guess Cordelia's still prettier anyway. And I'm tempted to say that the best part of the episode was the first sponsor-screen. And Kujo sat on Victorique's lap. Oh you. Suddenly, random fighting on the train. Oh them. Also, Victorique should start working full-time as a maid. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Victorica should carry a gun at all times. Good fighting on the train and a murder as well, that woman was batshit insane as well as that man. |
 |
| Very nice episode and full of surprises you knew everyone in that cabin had something up there sleeve and you knew something was going to happen just the thing that happened was unexpected. The only one in that cabin that wasn't suspecting something bad to happen was Kujo but he is kind of slow when it comes to those kind of things. The dark haired girl seemed to have been raised as a spy or agent to achieve the things her boss was trying to achieve and it seemed the big fellow was taking orders from her. It was sad to see her die tho, not knowing who you really are must be harsh. I also feel sorry for the blond guy being used in such a way and they even kidnaped his sister to make him do that. |
Hageshiikaze said: Man I really hope Gosick sticks around for a shit load of seasons. I typically have a "don't go over 50 episodes or the anime blows" rule but I really feel like I could watch this anime forever. This can be crazy funny one second and extremely thought provoking the next, can't get enough of it. If there is only one season it'll be a sad day in the world. I am pretty sure this is going to be the only season. According to UTW's website, the anime will end with the same arc as the last light novel, which will be released around the same time the episodes air. Here it is: Whoa looks the real plot is starting to unravel now as we are about to head into the last 7 episodes of the series. Roughly from what I can tell, we’re at the end of the 5th novel (GOSICK V) currently. The next episode should be taking place at the start of the 6th novel (GOSICK VI), which leaves us with 2 more novels after this. There’s currently 7 novels in press, and the 8th novel (and final novel in the GOSICK series) will be published along side the final arc of the anime, according to the author (Kazuki). The progression looks like it’ll be: GOSICK VI -> 18, VII -> 19-22 and VIII -> 23-24. GOSICK VIII release date is 06/25 which coincides with 23 airing and is pretty much exactly how Kazuki described the wrap-up of both anime and novel will go down. |
| Eh, the train mystery lacked intrigue to me. It was just four random people all killing each other without much of a reveal or anything. |
| Ara ara. |
| Scary incident inside the train. I thought it was going to be like the game Clue, where they have to find out who killed who. Even though that was Victorique's first time holding a gun, she was pretty good especially if she has Kujo next to her. I just realized it, why is Victorique wearing that maid outfit, knowing her she probably wouldn't wear it if it was up to her, but it was the only clothes available to her. I wonder what was the paper that Victorique took. Does anyone wonder if the blond guy will be back in later episodes? |

According to Victorique he's still alive, so yeah, we probably will see him, if only briefly.I wonder what was the paper that Victorique took. Does anyone wonder if the blond guy will be back in later episodes? I feel so childish for thinking all their titles and their masquerading was ridiculously cool. ^_^;; |

| Awesome episode! Death on a traiiiiiin dun dun dun. I too will be saddened when this series is over. It's one of the better shows airing right now.... :( |
  |
| For the most part, I just don't get why the scarecrow woman had to die. Other than that, awesome episode. The use of dramatic music in this episode was really nice too. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| What's with girls and guns in anime this season? Still it had a nice twist. |
| I felt that this episode gave deep insight into the hidden war between the Ministry and Academy. I loled when Victorique made the comment "It seems the knight has fallen off his horse." 4/5 |
| one thing that seems to be a constant in this show "and then BAM, all the new characters die" unless they have some relation to one of the main characters |
| pretty good episode... slowly building up the clues to solve this mystery.. for some reason the most shocking thing to me in this episode was when victorique starting shooting the gun...had me thinking "who taught her that?" |
| I'm sure that momento box is irrelevant to the bangs-girl bday, anyways victorique and kujo looks good in their maid outfit. |

It means we will have a novel ending in the anime, not some crap original ending. |

| Did that guy just stab the scarecrow in the boob? |

| I am sick and tired of hearing 'servant' from Vic and Aria. Kinji deserves it but Kujo doesn't. Random train fight and James Bond~ meh. |
 |
| Well, she can do everything, even shoot a gun. |
| Why would it be so bad for people knowing that the head of Academy is a Gray Wolf? = \ |
| huh? |
| I don't think I understand the importance gray wolves and the occult people |

choyos said: Why would it be so bad for people knowing that the head of Academy is a Gray Wolf? = Well around this time there were still a lot of people that didn't believe in science and technology. The occult and other similar stuff was still embroiled in the fabric of society and some though that science was just an "expansion" of the occult. So I guess that by reveling that the head of the Academy of Science was/is from the Village of Grey Wolfs, where magic/occult still survives, they can cast doubt on the discoveries of the Academy and science itself as an entire separate entity from the occult and the like. The Occult would still wild power over public affairs etc and would not allow society to advance. Remember, without science we would still be in the dark ages. |
| Nice episode I'd say. |
 |
| That was a fun episode. Would have been nice if we'd seen more of Victorique's deductions and reasoning. She just kind of knew things in this episode, but didn't tell us much. I wanna watch her reconstruct the chaos. I just realized that this is one of the few series that I just legitimately am gonna miss when it's over. I don't know when I'll get another one of these. choyos said: Why would it be so bad for people knowing that the head of Academy is a Gray Wolf? = Have you noticed exactly how even the mere rumors of being a grey wolf get Victorique treated? Remember when she attended class for a whole five minutes? I don't think anyone is earning popularity by being a grey wolf. Quite likely it would be enough to dismantle him and everything he's created. Linalee-Stratos said: I am sick and tired of hearing 'servant' from Vic and Aria. Kinji deserves it but Kujo doesn't. Random train fight and James Bond~ meh. You've... seen their interactions right? It's an accurate statement. They may be friends, but he's also her errand boy. Kujo's even cool with it. He doesn't object to being called her servant, just to being called an idiot. DenjaX said: I rewatched this episode and I still don't understand why they have to kill for the memento box when they will all die in the end with the bridge bombing. The bridge bombing was only going to occur if they didn't report having attained the box at the designated time. They didn't get to report because they all killed eachother. |
| Interesting episode. At last, I finally get an inkling of what's going on with the gray wolves, Brian Roscoe and Victorique's mother, the Marquis etc. |
| Still don't know why that girl was protecting that momento box. Didn't seem to have anything to do with her at all. Nice episode though. I like the action towards the end. She never fired a gun, but with theory alone she could hit the device with the last bullet! :O |
 |
| good episode! though i must say it was a pity for the black haired girl to die.. :( not knowing her birthday and her own identity must have been hard for her. Having her call her mum at the end was just too sad! but they didnt really say if she died or not so i can just hope she miraculously survived the posiong! :P Victorica is a nice girl and all but is it really wise to let a man who committed a crime to walk away? i know what he did was to save his sister but still.... |
| Good episode, the story is advancing and deepening, Liked the fight in the train. |
Wildsleven said: Victorica is a nice girl and all but is it really wise to let a man who committed a crime to walk away? i know what he did was to save his sister but still.... What's he gonna do? Set the ministry of the occult after her? Oh wait... |
This was a pretty good episode. We got a lot of down and dirty spy games trickery and violence. I loved what Victorique said when "the Knight" met his end. Shot in the gut, he was probably dying a painful death anyway. Now that much of this mess is cleared up we can finally get back to the Academy. I'm starting to miss some of the supporting characters. |
 |
| The black haired girl reminds me of a girl from Katawa... That gun scene was epic. Being a gray wolf sure has it's perks. Ah~ I wonder if that memo-box guy will have a big(ger) role. Oh yeah, did that Black haired girl die? I sorta liked her. Victorique's song<3 xDD |
     |
| One by one they die, stabbed to the chest, smashed into a wall and poisoned some battle on the train. But all that for a small little box, hopefully it was worth the bloodshed to get some clues. |
 |
| shoo, and I thought Vic was measuring the distance with the pistol. |

| Victorique + Gun = WIN, Great episode |
| I like how easily she got away with hoisting something from the box. Were they all not watching her? That shooting was pretty intense, and the knight was pretty fun to watch. |
| Meh, OK episode. Train scenes were interesting (especially the new characters and who they were working for) but some things made no sense (again!). I mean, how could that guy CLIMB A FREAKING TRAIN WHEN HE WAS SHOT LIKE THAT?! How do you get up there on the train? I mean I've never tried it (obviously) but doesn't look like you should be able to CARRY SOMEONE ON YOUR BACK as you walk across it. Then how did they get to the front? Why didn't the thing explode BEFORE THE TRAIN GOT THERE SO THEY PLUMMETED DOWN INTO NOTHINGNESS?! If she's never shot a gun before HOW IS SHE SO GOOD AT IT? I mean I haven't either, but I'm pretty sure a newbie wouldn't be able to shoot like that ONE HANDED ... NO IDEA HOW SHE FIGURES THIS STUFF OUT. Like the poison or who that guy's identity is? Random guessing much? Also the RECONSTRUCTION ... I mean ugh, umbilical cord, REALLY? O_O WAS NO ONE WATCHING HER WHEN SHE STOLE SOMETHING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! K well maybe everything's going over my head. Maybe I should be paying more attention, although that would be easier if the show was more interesting. Not quite sure what to expect next episode though ... :S |

| Oh god, this show is so great. I also find it sad that that girl died, I always find it said when girls die but not when males do. And what the heck is with that weird cowboy music in the preview? Is next episode going to be a comedyshow or something? |
| This was awesome, I loved it. My favourite episode of the series so far. |
| So there was no significance of the black haired girl right?.. hha |
