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!”
Victorica’s so cute.. she looks like Kuroneko.. 😀
Mmm.. gothic lolita.
The artstyle looks similar to Rozen Maiden, which is nice. I’ll definately be watching this.
Cute? Very. But she also seems conceited and bitchy.
She is trying to hide the fact she is a child by acting adult which usually translates to acting out like this.
Eh, she reminds me of a female version of Holmes for some reason. So, it’s not that bad really.
has everyone just overlooked the fact that the opening clearly copies Gurren Lagann’s?
