It’s easy to foreshadow a lot of key plot points to the background when it comes to writing but when the same thing is depicted on the screen, it takes a whole new turn. Also, if you’ve read the manga, you’ll realize that many elements of the story lose their sense of “mystery” once they are converted to an image format. Like most anime adaptations of manga, ‘Gosick’ fails to portray all the contents of its source material and undoubtedly, this has an impact on the overall quality of the story. This makes a lot of it quite predictable and because of this, many major plot points of the story seem forced. But it’s a little unfortunate that, unlike most other great Detective Shows, the story in this one moves ahead too linearly. The basic premise of the anime is simple yet very interesting and is enough to get the attention of most viewers from the beginning itself. And to put it simply, ‘Gosick’ which is more like a play on the word “ Gothic“, is purely anime heaven for those who love Mystery Shows.
It brings in references and parodies to the most renowned detective stories like Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and even Inspector Morse. Based on a manga that goes by the same name, ‘Gosick’ is an anime series that set in a fictional European Country.
