Gosick

Kazuya Kujou is a foreign student at Saint Marguerite Academy, a luxurious boarding school in the Southern European country of Sauville. Originally from Japan, his jet-black hair and dark brown eyes cause his peers to shun him and give him the nickname "Black Reaper," based on a popular urban legend about the traveler who brings death in the spring.

On a day like any other, Kujou visits the school's extravagant library in search of ghost stories. However, his focus soon changes as he becomes curious about a golden strand of hair on the stairs. The steps lead him to a large garden and a beautiful doll-like girl known as Victorique de Blois, whose complex and imaginative foresight allows her to predict their futures, now intertwined.

With more mysteries quickly developing—including the appearance of a ghost ship and an alchemist with the power of transmutation—Victorique and Kujou, bound by fate and their unique skills, have no choice but to rely on each other.

Gosick é com certeza o melhor anime "desconhecido" que já vi, nunca havia ouvido falar, achei sem querer, e foi um grande achado.
O anime conta a história de dois estudantes a Victorique e o Kujo, pra resumir, vamos dizer que eles são representados como Sherlock e wattson. É um anime sobre mistérios, suspense, drama e um pouco de romance ( Não é o foco, porem existe ), é uma história que prende bastante do inicio ao fim, os plot twists são muito bem feitos, todo desenvolvimento dos personagens principais são notórios e bem construídos. O final para mim é um dos melhores, é um final ... fechado, e que faz muito sentido com o rumo da história.

Recomendo para todos, apenas assistam, vale MUITO a pena !

Mixed Feelings

The story starts off very interesting with the two main characters interacting. The animation style and quality were ahead of its time, and it felt like I was watching a very recent anime rather than a nearly 15-year old anime. There is a mix of action and interesting sleuthing in perhaps the first twelve episodes. And there is some relationship development between the two main characters.

The character types were good enough for me at first. The main character Victorique is typical tsundere, almost to the point of being annoying, but I suppose I get easily annoyed by the tsundere character type ... now. At any rate, I didn't let it bother me. What did bother me more was that the second character, a boy, was pretty helpless. He somewhat dense and meek, and it pretty much never changes throughout the series. Ultimately, all he really does is provide mental support for the main character by being a nice guy despite Victorique continually treating him poorly.

The primary reason for the reduced rating is that the second half of the season is rushed, and the story is even more contrived than the first season. Ridiculously impossible situations occur that are ignored by key characters, and things happen that make no sense. Having not read the manga, I can't tell if there is an issue with story adaptation, if too much story is crammed into the second half of the season, or if the manga story is just that bad towards the end.

My overall recommendation is to only watch the first 12 episodes. That's reasonably satisfying.

Honestly, I was disappointed after hearing all the hype about Gosick. I think it was probably a very unique product of its time. I probably did not receive it well because I am neither a teenager which was the main demographic which Gosick received praise from around 2015). Now, in the year 2025, I find that the anime has poor pacing and leans too much into the tsundere/ gullible MC trope.

That said, it has good parts too. The cast is likeable enough, the mystery element can be fun if you're into that, and the character development ultimately makes it worth the watch. That said, the ... main plot can mostly be summed up by only watching 5 out of the 25 episodes- and you wouldn't miss much else. The effort towards world building was made, but ultimately does not pay off due to huge gaps and filler episodes.

I'd say only watch this if you either love mystery anime, or (in my case) just want to see what Gosick is about and how the story ends. It's not a bad anime. But it's not a great one either.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this anime has some serious trigger warnings. Just for that alone, I could not recommend this anime to people without warning. We're talking about the R-word here.
