Episode: 24
Release date (for eng subs): - 


Summary:
The year is 1924, the place, Saubure, a small European country neatly tucked beside the Alps...

Kazuya Kujo has been studying abroad at the prestigious Saint Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. Kazuya ignores most of them but the story of the Queen Berry, a mysterious ghost ship, really gets to him. Of course, his brainy friend Victorique is much more intrigued by true stories, and she uses her unrivaled logic to solve mysteries even the town's famous detective can't. Ironically, it is Victorique's inquisitive nature that leads the duo to board a ship that matches the Queen Berry's description to a tee, a ship that might just hold the key to solving a sinister mystery...

Personal Ratings: 3
A mystery show. Unlike the typical kind of mystery shows (like detective conan), this anime does not talk much about the cases, but more of how the cases actually links to her family. In a way I liked this much better than detective conan. Mostly on the parts about the links between the cases. However, I really didn't liked the explaining parts. In detective conan, you can see that they really used logic to slowly figure out the cases while presenting evidence. However in gosick, there is no such thing. It was more like figure out than find evidence to show. I liked how this show flows really well since everything is connected to each other. Really liked the last episode. Was so touching.

I didn't really liked how they complicate things to much by the way they speak and some times by the things they show. Their speeches some times make too complicate and confusing, they use too abstract ways in their speech which is some times not consistent. 


Art Ratings: 3.5
I liked all their character designs. I think it all really shows a lot of their personality and really goes well with the seiyuu's voice. But it's really typical drawing. However, unlike some animes, I think they really did think more out of the box, because the character all look very different, and each have a special unique point to them.
