Gosick keeps to a tried-and-true formula in which a cold but brilliant detective is teamed with a truthful but somewhat dark buddy who constantly a few hints behind the audience.
The story of this anime is full of mystery and adventure mixed with drama and comedy. Almost all the characters in the series are interesting. In the case of Gosick, the Holmes stand-in is Victorique, the inhabitant eccentric at the Saint Marguerite Academy in Sauville, a fictional European country, while the Watson surrogate is Kazuya Kujo, the school’s sole Japanese student.
