Gosick Episode #07 Anime Review by Chris Beveridge     February 18, 2011 Release Date: February 18, 2011

The mystery of Cordelia continues as new nuggets of information come out in the Village of the Gray Wolves.What they say:Kazuya and Victorique arrive at the Village of the Gray Wolves. The villagers speak of a maid, Cordelia Gallo, who murdered the former village elder, Theodore. she was expelled from the village from her crime, but now, Victorique aims to prove the woman’s innocence. To that end, Victorique and Kazuya head for the house she once lived in…The Review:Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)Gosick’s move to dealing with some of Victorique’s past has been interesting so far as they’ve made their way to the Village and we’ve gotten a lot on the whole wolf angle so far. There’s a really creepy feel to everything that we’ve seen since they left the city which was generally speaking filled with light and brightness, especially the library in which Victorique called home. Having the pair search out for more information on Victorique’s past, there are some interesting little nuggets that come up, such as the discovery of a photo of a young Cordellia holding a very adorable baby Victorique in her arms. There’s a growing suspicion about what happened to Cordelia and her innocence though, but it’s all tinged by the atmosphere of the village which makes it much more ominous.Kazuya and Victorique are still essentially being given the cold shoulder at best from the villagers who don’t care for their presence in the slightest. The past of the village has certainly affected things in general and it’s causing them to be extra cautious and wary with things, which in turn has our leads acting much the same way. but when they leave their defenses down, things seem to happen which makes them uncertain about what’s going on. such as the lights going on and Kazuya having a glass that has an eyeball in it. Not that he really recognizes this when it happens since it’s easy to imagine him freaking out even more over it than he does, which is to say not at all.As oppressive as the village feels at times, there do have some great customs .The reenactment of the battle between the Summer Army and the Winter Army is a really neat idea that you can easily imagine having been done as a way to shift between seasons and celebrate it with fun and festivities. The show continues to be a slow and curious exploration of a mystery that has a certain lack of clarity to it compared to some previous adventures we’ve seen the pair on. with this one being more personal and there being an incident in the middle of the festival, it doesn’t have quite the same urgency we’ve seen before and it doesn’t have quite the clear cut storyline behind it either. Victorique’s returning to where her mother was exiled from has plenty of potential, but it’s coming across as a mystery wrapped in another mystery covered in fuzzy ideas.In Summary:While I can certainly see the appeal this show holds for many, it feels like it’s progressively losing steam as it goes along from the first couple of episodes. this storyline has come across as too unfocused for my tastes and for a large part of it, it feels like it’s just meandering around without a clear idea of what it wants to do. There are some interesting elements to it and the overall ideas are appealing, but it’s being told through the strange and unusual leaps of logic that Victorique uses. again, I can see the appeal of it, but it’s not holding my attention like it was at the start. The draw of the characters is still strong though and watching our two leads going through it all is a lot of fun, but the story itself feels like it’s in a very distant second place here.FeaturesJapanese 2.0 Language, English SubtitlesReview EquipmentSony KDS-R70XBR2 70" LCoS 1080P HDTV, Dell 10.1 Netbook via HDMI set to 1080p, Onkyo TX-SR605 Receiver and Panasonic SB-TP20S Multi-Channel Speaker System with 100-Watt Subwoofer.

The number eleven has long been associated with positive facts, feats and emotions. Apollo 11 was the first manned spacecraft to land on the Moon. “Ben-Hur,” “Titanic” and “The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King” each won a record eleven Academy Awards. It’s the time of night that “Conan” starts. and, according to greatdreams.com, the number eleven “possesses the qualities of intuition, patience, honesty, sensitivity and spirituality and is idealistic.” on Billboard charts, however, peaking at no. 11 evokes mostly frustration. “No one wants to wind up at no. 2, 6 or 11. but, of those, no. 11 is probably the worst,” says Adrian Moreira, RCA/J/Arista Records senior vice president/adult music. “If you peak at no. 2, at least you can brag about reaching the top five. if you hit no. 6, a label can still market a track and/or artist as ‘top 10.’ “But, if you peak at the dreaded no. 11, then the best you can boast is ‘top 15,’ which obviously doesn’t sound as prestigious.” still, a song’s highest position on a Billboard chart isn’t always an indicator of its legacy. As we ring in ’11, Chart Beat is celebrating songs that, despite stopping short one spot shy of the top 10 on Billboard charts, have become evergreen. Each week in January, we’re spotlighting 11 such smashes, continuing this week with tracks that reached no. 11 on Billboard rock charts. Jan. 4: R&B/hip-hop Jan. 11: country Jan. 18: rock Jan. 25: Hot 100 “My City was Gone,” the Pretenders, 1982, Mainstream Rock a week after the single’s A-side, “Back on the Chain Gang,” debuted, on its way to a no. 4 peak, the flipside, available only the on 7-inch single, charted. the B-side received new life when rush Limbaugh began using its riff – unauthorized – in the opening of his radio show. In a case of liberal and conservative views finding common ground through music, the group’s Chrissie Hynde demanded that Limbaugh stop using the song, though reversed course when he offered to donate $100,000 to PETA. “Never Say Goodbye,” Bon Jovi, 1987, Mainstream Rock Having topped the Billboard Hot 100 with the uptempo “You Give Love a bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Bon Jovi proved equally adept at big hair ballads. the popular cut from “Slippery when Wet” – and the first non-commercially-available single to reach the top 40 (No. 28) on the Radio Songs chart – paved the way for such later hit love songs as “I’ll there for You,” “Bed of Roses” and “Always.”

“Everlasting Love,” U2, 1989, Alternative Songs Just as Carl Carlton’s 1974 version of the song peaked at no. 11 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, so did U2′s cover on Alternative Songs. still, the quartet leads all acts with 23 top 10s dating to the chart’s 1988 premiere. “Falling,” Julee Cruise, 1990, Alternative Songs the first single from Cruise’s debut album “Floating Into the Night” doubled, in instrumental form, as the theme to TV’s “Twin Peaks.” when “Psych” last year aired a tribute episode to “Twin Peaks” (cleverly entitled “Dual Spires”), Cruise re-recorded the pop/alternative theme, the Friendly Indians’ “I Know You Know,” in the style of the haunting “Falling.”

“Hippychick,” Soho, 1990, Alternative Songs the British trio likewise came up short of reaching the top 10 on the Hot 100, where the song peaked at no. 14. the track, which samples the Smiths’ “How soon Is Now,” did spend two weeks atop the Dance Singles Sales chart. “Nothing Else Matters,” Metallica, 1992, Mainstream Rock the hard rock luminaries had previously peaked at no. 10 with each of their first two chart entries, “Enter Sandman” (1991) and “The Unforgiven” (1992). Emphasizing the song’s boundless appeal, Shakira has taken to covering the intimate ballad in concert. “Closer,” Nine Inch Nails, 1994, Alternative Songs with lyrics that might make Cee Lo Green blush (“I wanna f*** you like an animal”), the track ranked as the group’s highest-charting entry on Alternative Songs until “Hurt” became its only top 10 (No. 8, 1995) of the ’90s. the Trent Reznor-led act stopped at no. 11 three more times (“The Perfect Drug,” “We’re in this Together,” “Into the Void”) before starting an active streak of six consecutive top 10s, including four no. 1s, between 2005 and 2008. “What Would You Say,” Dave Matthews Band, 1995, Alternative Songs four years after forming in Charlottesville, Va., the jam band made its first visit to Alternative Songs. Follow-up classics “Ants Marching” and “Satellite” each peaked at no. 18 before “Too Much” (No. 5, 1996) broke through as the group’s first of six top 10s.

“Bawitdaba,” Kid Rock, 1999, Mainstream Rock “Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy,” the singer recounts on the anthem that helped define the format’s attraction to rap in the late ’90s/early 2000s. on Alternative Songs, a peak one notch higher granted Rock a top 10 with his first format chart entry. “Woke Up this Morning,” A3, 2000, Triple A the “Chosen one Mix” of the song by the London-based band became iconic as the theme to HBO’s “The Sopranos,” from its first episode in 1999 to its finale in 2007, when the series ended abruptly in mid- … “1234,” Feist, 2007, Triple A Canadian singer/songwriter Leslie Feist blanketed TV airwaves with this quirky track, which soared to the top 10 on Digital Songs (No. 4) and the Hot 100 (No. following its Apple iPod nano ad placement. Feist later performed a version of the song on “Sesame Street” with Elmo (in controversy-free attire), fittingly helping children learn to count.
