At first I feared they were both dead, but luckily my fears were in vain. What an ending! Great to see all the main characters grown up too.

Good to see Graviel gave Victorique a break there. There's no reason for him to go on now his father has died. I wondered how she changed the color of her hair as well. Maybe it indeed does have something to do with the shock of the Roscoe's and her mother dying and besides that the uncertainty of Kujo being OK.

Truly a great series. It had a bit of a slow start but man, it made up for it tenfold! 8/10

Well, Gosick ended up being pretty damn awesome. Too bad the first half wasn't as good (was still good though). The characters were nice and the story was interesting with all the mysteries. Animation/art and soundtrack were all very good.

The ending was so sweet. After many years they are finally reunited. Sad how Cordelia and both Brians died though... ;_;

It ended! ;O Hmm, OK, so Brian explains him and his twin were looking for a mother in Cordelia ... ehm, OK, sure then O_O Oh I nearly forgot, I'm pretty sure you can't fall off a cliff and live. Just saying O_O Kind of silly lol. Cordelia, Albert, both twins die. Victorica somehow escapes by dying her hair ... *snort*
Kujo fights the war. Was kind of weird when he had no legs, because I was pretty sure you can't survive that (what would I know, though, lol). Assuming that he doesn't fight in WW2 because ... yea, that just doesn't make any sense. Grevil's a bro after all (he goes back to long hair, wtf lol). Avril and her bottle was funny XD The ending was kind of really predictable, I didn't like it though. Oh and the Roget tells the king about the Coco thing
All right, so, overall. I honestly don't see why everyone likes this. The animation was OK, the music was meh, sure. The characters though really sucked. Same with the plot IMO. Annoying voices were just bleh. I dunno how a cool mystery thing turned into a sappy romance story. Really. I just don't. I have to say I found this really hard to watch :S Some episodes weren't that bad (like in the middle) which were actually quite good, and I thought there was some hope left for me. There wasn't. Plus horrible logic cramps in a show that is basically BUILT on this stuff? 4/10

They showed Kujo loosing his legs in the war

He was also in a desolate sand land. The only thing they showed for the -real world- is that his lower body was covered by a metal.

One of the most beautiful and satisfying anime endings I've seen. Kinda wish Cordelia and the Roscoe twins hadn't died but if they didn't, Victorique might not have had the same amount of desperate motivation to find a way to Kujo. Bravo! only 9/10 though bc I just about lost it at how many times I heard Kujo yell "VICTORIQUE!"

ps. I think her hair changed color from fear. Prior to meeting Kujo, she didn't fear death bc she was just a tool for her father but when Brian tried to kill her she was really scared that she would die w/o finding Kujo. I think her hair turned silver then.

Hair changes color to white/gray based on a number of factors. Stress and Shock are the top causes so it would make sense that her hair changed due to those two reasons. Another thing that might have happened was due to the "age of magic" dieing, maybe it caused her to lose her gold hair. I'm going with stress and shock though.

I'm pretty sure Kujo was just hallucinating that he lost his legs due to that huge piece of metal on them while he was knocked out. I'm sure when he woke up be moved the metal and got back to work fighting to survive.

I'm happy with the ending. It was really enjoyable. I even like how they insinuated that Kujo and Victorique would grow up to get married and live life happily ever after. It was a nice touch with what little time they had in this episode. It kind of looked funny with Kujo being taller and older. Looked like loli love haha.

Truly amazing show, great ending, I wonder what was it that Kujo wanted to say that he's never told her before? I might've missed it but I was hoping on the lines of "I LOVE YOU"
well im pretty sure that ending was simblifing that they got married, plus put 2 and 2 together, "theres somthing i want to tell you, somthing i need to tell you in person so i cant die here" that pretty much is obviously he wanted to say he loved her

overall amazing serise, i went in expec a mystery and got completly blown away by everything else in the serise, great show, bones did a great job in the transition to anime

Ahh, such a nice show. It's been ages since I watched such a well developed romance, with a beautiful, semi-dramatic plot. The mysteries were all, in the end, related to the oaverarching arc, and they presented both the main plot and the subjacent romance in an easy to watch way. Not too corny, not overly-dramatic, not too boring.

I also can't get enough from the art in gosick. It's just so well done. Such detail, and the tones used are beautiful. Ahh. I'm happy.


Also, I'm happy to see the only people that seem to dislike the anime, are either retards or have no arguments to back up the hate.

The thing that almost killed me inside was when Victorique found that hidden drawing that Kujo did for her. It was the most touching scene in the first half. And the voice acting was... Let me just say that that was the most legit crying in sadness and happiness I've heard in anywhere (so far anyway)

This is one of the few times that my opinion of a show skyrockets from the ending. The last two episodes were amazing, providing a impressive ending to an otherwise slightly above average show. Personally, I hated both Kujo and Victorique, which speaks volumes about how spectacular the ending was to me considering the score I am giving this show.

After considering giving it a 5 in the middle, I am bumping my rating up to 7/10.

I disliked Kujo dreaming about not having legs WTF...
Also Brian QUICK past?!?!
We don't know if King met his wife and alchemist child
Coldelia could be dead with Brian but yeah did they show it?
Kujo clothes at the end of 24 episode
All misteries solved by Victorique were to short and the one with head of Coco case was way toooo short and simple;P

This series is a masterpiece not because of the mysteries, they were below average, but because of the characters, setting, atmosphere and development of the characters.


There will be OVA to it for sure.
Also Grevil turned his hair back to normal, Victorique and Kujo are still alive. All of them took legacy of their previous ppl. Do not forget about another storms to come;))

Oh the happy end I was hoping for...thanks Gosick.

The show's mysteries weren't that mysterious, alongside with the first half, but the second half, especially the last few episodes were really good. I also loved the relationship between Victorique and Kujo. A very sweet couple.

\\I also am wondering about that. Kujo definitely lost his legs (or at least the use of them) in the war. Why else would that scene have existed? And why did Victorique's hair change color like that? \\

Hm hm hm Kujo was lying covered by metal thing after bomb exploded and then he woke up without legs..at the end of series he had bandages near his foots so mb he got paralized or sth and then recovered? I think this wasn't daydreaming.
OR mb it was and their hearts are together fused by their pedants-_-

Way taller Kujo with same-height Victorique was sort of strange. Their meeting was a heartwarming scene since I thought he really had lost his legs at first.

Cordelia and the Brians ;_____; I wanted them too have a happy ending, but I guess that was too much to ask for D:

Nice to see everything get wrapped up neatly at the end. I was wondering what happened to Ambrose. Luigi is all grown up! And Grevil's hair, oh mai. I'm proud of him for helping out Victorique. The poor guy will never get Jacqueline though >:
The reopening of the school was quite nice too.

Overall, the show wasn't bad. The mysteries were half-predictable, half-impossible and the plot was a little rushed towards the end, but I enjoyed the character interactions. Quality wise, I probably couldn't give this more than a 5-6/10 but I had fun watching it so it gets an 8/10 from me. Might bring it down to a 7 once the freshness wears off.

One of the best endings this year I think. I loved how they changed her hair to silver. It was so sad when the twins and Cordelia died though but at least she took Albert with her. I'm gonna miss this show.

I also wondered about that, too! Lol! How Victorique's hair turned from blonde to silver. I thought it was either because of the stress she had gone through or because she was a gray wolf? I could be 100% wrong but that's my thought!

Btw, she looked so pretty in the white dress and I thought, "Oh yay!!! Kujo and Victorique are going to get married!" :D

She over hears people talking that they are searching for a short girl with golden hair who is 15 but looks like a 10 year old. Then she goes to treat bad Brian. He must have done something her hair to make it silver to keep her getting caught. He tells her that she has to live right.

Would have been smarter if her new hair color was black, brown or even red like Brian's (since everyone thought that she's his daughter).


First arc was awesome but later became mediocre. But towards the end it once again became great series. The ending was a bit rushed but it's kinda okay. Overall, it was great and rather enjoyable series to watch. So I rate this series 8/10.

Nah, I don't think so. Her hair had become silver permamently, and I don't think there is anything she could do that with.

Was it a nice episode??? I think: oh yes!!!
Was it a good final??? I think: not bed...
Was it a right final??? I think: not enough....

Why for first 17-18 episodes this anime was so repetetive, and sometimes a bit annoying, in certain episodes only Victorique was reason I watched it.... And last 5-6 episodes, tone and plot were so mature and elevate.... Second War, not a little thing....
Even so, I aspected something more from Kujo-Victorique reunion, instead for other charas they were all good....
Victorique is so kawaii, and very good character, Kujo?? not bed, but certain time soooooo foolish..... Grevil and Cordelia are another good chara......
Special mention for OP and greats two ED!!! Unity is very very good and beautiful clip, Resuscitated Hope is my favorite, really really good and beautiful...

Definitely I give 7,5 to this anime, aaawww Vic-to-ri-queeeee!!!!

um so did he live or die?

....Kujo? -.-

I have to say the way they made us believe he did, even enough to convince this guy despite his appearance, made the ending a lot better. I had a feeling it was going to end in the next minute once it reached the 10 minute mark of the episode, so they gave it plenty of time to wrap it up.

The last arc was really awesome - of course they crunched a lot of material in there and it was a little rushed as well. The second half was indeed awesome, but there was the slow moments in the first that ended up with a 8.25 cumulative score for enjoyment. Might raise it but that will be decided in my review...

Anyway, some things overall I really disliked;
-Kujo's new haircut.
-Brian dying. The one fighting alongside Cordelia probably died too.
-Cordelia being dead.
-Cordelia dying the second to last episode.
-Cordelia not magically reviving.
-Cordelia actually being dead.
-Kujo actually surviving.


I'll probably give this series a 8-9/10. Couldn't really say it was a masterpiece since some episodes were quite disappointing. Anyway, it was enjoyable. Especially the second arc. <3

This show was pretty enjoyable throughout its whole run. However the final scene between Victorique and Kujo forced me to give it an 8/10 instead of 7. Not many anime are big enough to properly end, but this one did it with flying colors. Kudos to a great show, and kudos for giving it a proper ending.

I thought Victorique dyed her hair silver on the boat, but even in 1929 it's still silver. I doubt the original author has even thought about that weird apparition that possibly exists in RL too. Very weird.
And Kujo's gotten fat.

Anyway, it was really a great show, BUT it felt a bit rushed and there were some things that were rushed. It felt as if the first half of the show had everything explained but the last half of the show was more and more rushed the more it came close to the ending. The last half of this episode for example feels the most rushed of the whole series. They should've made this a 26 episodes show so that they could've explained everything in the details.
However, I really enjoyed it and was hooked to this show since they very first episode and almost never let me down. As I said they should've explained some more of the ending but apart from that it was a very great show.
I can't get myself to give this show a 10, but something like a 9.5/10 is what I think this show is worth in my eyes.
