Gosick

 
Gosick is a mysterious and romantic anime. It is an anime set in Sauville/Saubure (fictional country). A student, Kujo the youngest son of an officer in the Japanese Imperial Army, was selected to go to Saint Marguerite Academy as an exchange students. In the school, he meets the Victorique. She is clever and beautiful girl and she spends most of her time on the top of the library, helping his brother (Grevil who is a detective) to solve cases.
In my opinion, it is one of the best anime in terms of character design and plots in part two (that will be mention later). Personally, I would categorize the anime into 2 parts. The first part was mainly about them solving case and helping Grevil. This is where they strengthen their bonds, showing care and concern to one another. The second part is about Victorique’s father making use of Victorique. This part is much more sinister compared to the first part. It shows the start of the main story of how the country’s “ghost stories and fairy tales” are related to the politics of the country. The dark secrets of the country are slowly solved by Victorique on her father’s “request”. I feel that everyone has a very dark past but, they will have accept their past and move on.
My favorite episode is episode 23. It is episode where Kujo was sent back to his country to prepare for the upcoming war. The most touching part of the anime to me is when is Victorique mother was trying to protect her at all cost.
