Mystery anime Gosick has been well received, principally due to the cuteness of gothic lolita protagonist Victorica (“Victorique” in another rendering) – so far the only criticism she has managed to attract is her voice casting and her cosmetic similarity to a certain other bonnet-dweller…
The anime is based on a light novel series, and amongst fans of the novels and previous adaptations there is plenty of lively debate over Victorica’s voicing (Aoi Yuuki in the anime) – the character is described as having a husky voice like that of an old woman, now something of a bone of contention between purists and those expecting a loli voice…
Even so, her popularity seems more than assured:
The evaluation so far seems to be best summed up by this:
“Was Gosick any good?”
“Victorica was so cute!”

Got that right.
needs more loli yuri
needs more loli roll!
I just watched the first EP of Rozen Maiden, I think I'll watch this show =D
/me loves gothic-like loli
About this, am I the only one who found this ""strange""?

I checked and yes, it is not exactly the same, but still.
it's Shinku!!
They play on this a few times in the episode as well, with the male main lead referring to her as a doll, or having doll like qualities.
Hence also the cheek poke in the train seen in 36 and 37
Right, even in the manga on some of the pages, they show a doll that looks exactly like her, Not to mention that Grevil for some reason owns an actual doll that looks just like Victoria....
I could I could get into this show Shinku is still one of my favorites.
I'll watch it anyways... Actually I watch nearly all animes every season. I just don't mind cuteness, moe factor, plot....
I lost the control of my life.
Reason for watching = Yuuki Aoi
It's kinda amusing that back when I watched Dance in The Vampire Bund and Sora No Woto (Noel), I actually thought if there will be an anime adaptation of Gosick, Yuuki Aoi would really fit Victorique's role.
After I realized that it was the same voice as Mena tepes, I knew that this anime was going to be good. And yay Gothic Loli.
Watch all, watch everything.
I love watching airing shows, it's exhilarating.
So I also watch nearly all anime. <3
Don't see it as losing control, see it as becoming a stronger otaku, being able to see any anime that comes out will prevent the repetition of seeing the same genre. I can pretty much do any anime too, in fact I'm trying to to see every type of genre out there at least once.
Same for me, i give every new show of the year at least 1-3 episodes and most of them get at least six before i start dropping titles I didn't get hooked on. Last year I think all I really dropped was shiki after episode 8 or so, it just didn;t stick with me, but i pretty much stayed with everything else.
I was planning to watch it regardless, but guaranteed cuteness isn't a bad thing.
The waves of hentai should follow soon.
Rolling Loli =3
No one has made a gif out of the rolling loli yet?
anon, Studio Pierrot did Tegami Bachi which IMO was one of the best series in the past few years. And thankfully, they were devoid of almost any fillers. And even the few fillers they put in, they were absolute genius.
but ruri is still better :3
Beezlebub sucks. Have you noticed that the main char beats everyone up in 1 punch? I mean seriously, they build up his opponents and make them sound all powerful and stuff, then they get 1hko. And it goes on like that for about 60 episodes, its a decent manga because of the humor, but other than that, the fights are uber cheezy.
I don't know about you guys, but fights aren't interesting if the main char 1hkos every opponent. I mean ok, its understandable if it's building up a story, but it doesn't take 60+ chapters of 1hko to buildup a story. gets really predictable and boring by the 27th 1hko, dontcha think?
As far as the demons lol "my punch isn't strong enough...? I got it! I'll just make it stronger and try again!" -_- so now it takes like 5 punches instead of 1 to take out a demon.
With Pierrot on the lead... I don't think so. Prepare to another stockpile Jump Anime besides Naruto and Bleach
What about the sparkling white unicorn...?
Oh, it wasn't a unicorn? D:
& also tbh I'm tired of dragged out fight scenes with every opponent a protagonist encounters in every shounen manga. he may defeat the human opponents in one punch but it's done in a very comical way.
I was expecting the 'rolling loli' gif as well. Especially on here... :'(
So we finally get a psychic goth loli detecitve. I get this feeling I've seen this somewere before in a game though. In any case I'm hoping to see some in series trolling moments for this series.
Even if that doesn't happen it's always nice to see a goth loli in action once more.
Oh yeah, by the time the demon saga of beelzebub comes around, it'll already be the 3rd season of the anime, if it ever gets that far.
Ichigo Amano (Yumeiro Patissiere)'s voice? HELL YES
The Beelzebub manga at least is pretty good and entertaining, but Naruto and Bleach were entertaing in the beginning as well before the turned to shit so...
Expecting Tsundere Loli Tsunami Coming~
Thats because all his opponents were HUMAN and he has DEMON powers... see where I'm getting at?
if you've been reading the manga recently you should know he's currently having problems defeating the said demons.
So it's all good for a shounen series fight scenes to suck as long as the main character only fights people he vastly out-matches? That's like saying Berserk would have been better if the main antagonist had been a cross-eyed, wheelchair-bound hobbit...
This show looks good, but I can guarantee Beelzebub is gonna be the best anime this season, perhaps even the whole year.
CUTE? - thats a load of BS,... she's just a spoiled bratty queen bitch wannabe.
> >> hurls chucks at the prospect of this loli being cute.
Yuripe is a ton cuter,... Yuki Nagato is uber mega cuter even.
o.o
Another Loli added to my "Lolicon Fantasy" collection...
Not as cute as Katja but...
She Is Sooo Ridiculously CUTE!!!!
looks like another title for me to pick up
about time I settled for one from this season and this one could be it
any revaluations of the plot itself?
Yes, and it's so bad that I got so bored to death and annoyed beyond that that I skipped from around middle of the ep to ED and, really, ED and especially the song are the only goood things in this series, unless you're into gothic lolitas, I guess.
Either way, at least Ep 1 had such bad detective story that I was hoping at first that they're deconstructing the genre but apart from loli with pipe I couldn't tell that the series wasn't taking itself seriously.
@Anon 14:45
You mean Kuja, right?
first episodes I let things slide since it is the first episode and thus begins to "set the setting" and what not so I'll give it a go when I can lol a little change of pace for once lol
Where is the gif of her rolling around on the floor? I want my moe!
HNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
Doujins i'm ready!
Read the novel, i was surprised how fast i accepted Victoricas voice. I quite like the voice actually.
She's really cute and Rena would definitely take her home but I'm not sure if she's the cutest loli ever.
