Gosick – 17



Now this is why I originally decided to blog this series! This episode once again showed Gosick at its good side, and it was just amazing. This is what I want to see from this series.

We’re finally getting to the interesting stories here. Beyond the attention to Victorique and her mother, the whole atmosphere of this arc was just wonderful, in this strange theme park full of interesting attractions and people to watch. I also liked the explanation that this episode gave about how Brian Roscoe created the tragedy ten years earlier. He definitely became a much more interesting villain in the second half of this series. This arc ended with this episode, but it left behind a ton more intrigue for the rest of this show to work with.

And heck. The parts that focused on Victorique were just amazing. It’s here where the character development really kicks in, and especially her mother’s message was simple, yet very effective.

The big question right now: why is Victorique so important? Why is Victorique’s mother so important? What item that Brian Roscoe stowed away could be so important? At the moment, these are the things that feel like McGuffins to me. It’s up to the rest of this show to properly explain why the bad guys of this series revolve around them.
Rating: *** (Awesome)

  1. This is such a great series, I’ve been really enjoying every episode, even the filler ones! I’m so excited for the storyline to really start picking up, there’s so much stuff going on to try and figure out 🙂

  2. I’m not all that sure how much of a tragedy it was. I mean, they were being bombed, and it didn’t look like they’d done anything to deserve it. The Felling Maria took out the planes that were bombing them.

    What I’m wondering is how a projected image could have made the planes actually crash, and also why people keep saying that Kujo “fits the description.” Description of what, and by whom?
