I'm just happy that I may finally be able to make the "Avril doesn't like your girlfriend" joke I've been saving for months at my anime club.

...so theres a singer whose name named Avril who likes singing about how she doesn't like other people's girlfriend...

...

Anyways, about this show's title, do they ever mean anything?

For example "Blue Roses Bloom in the Cannibal Department Store" sounds really awesome...but the episode had nothing to do with Cannibals in department store, and theres only one blue rose, singular, and it's just a large chunk of sapphire.

^Well, the store kinda sorta eats people, from the perspective of the ghost story surrounding it.

Well they don't eat people, more like sell them to rich people as...servants or slaves I guess. Child labor probably.

Well nobody knew what was really going on, that's why the ghost story grew around the store.

The Blue Rose, a famous treasure, appeared in a department store known for devouring children. It makes perfect sense if you look at it metaphorically.

Also, I think 'Gosick' is a corruption of 'Gothic'

Welp, looks like the episode titles are only going to get more and more epic. 'A Malicious Frill Is Censuring The Farting Newt'? My word.

Okay, this has been bothering me since the show started, but the singing kids pushed me over the edge: WHY DOES NOBODY IN THIS SHOW SPEAK FRENCH AAAAGH

Also, Victorique just gloated about being abusive to Kujo. Why does he still talk to her outside of needing mysteries solved?

Probably because (a) she's saved his life a couple of times, (b) he kind of feels sorry for her, and (c) we saw from Episode 12 that they both quite enjoy their time together when Victorique's not being cranky (and sometimes when she is).

Besides, we have seen him get thoroughly tired of her shit a couple of times by now, so he doesn't completely wave it off. Seems he just figures that the pros outweight the cons, to which I can only say 'whatever floats your boat, man'.

Don't forget, Kujo revealed that he has a blonde fetish in that episode Avril appears in.

Also, what normal straight male can not like this?


btw, does it sort of seem like Avril might have feelings for Kujo? Or am I just looking too deeply into things?

Sort of seems like it? Really? It's blatantly obvious that she wants to go out with Kujo.

[up][up]Speaking as a straight male myself, I'd be too busy screaming and running from the pink-eyed hellbeing she's busy cuddling.

As for Avril, she was pissed that Kazuya didn't realise they were on a date. Yeah, I think it's theoretically possible that she might be interested.

So the competition finally meet each other. I wonder how much Victorique heard before leaving. Cecil was a fair distance away and heard it, and Avril wasn't exactly being quite about it, so maybe she heard. On the other hand, it's not like she hasn't figured it out already anyway.

I wonder who the second monster alluded two in the next title is.

[up]Presumably, Brian. Of course, given that Victorique is our other 'monster', that still doesn't tell us much...

Heh...farting newt.

But regarding this episode, what's with the crappy subtitles? Theres a bunch of weird codes such as TM(as in trademark), #, etc....

Bad conversion from UTF-8, I guess. Avoid the Crunchy Subs release for that episode, it's the one that has the problem. (It's the first one that was out on the grey market, but it was obviously a rush job with no quality control...)

You realize that Crunchysubs just rips directly from Crunchyroll, right? I doubt they even bother to look and see if they are converting right. Hell, we know that Horrible Subs doesn't bother to do that.

Yeah, but at least HorribleSubs didn't fuck up that way this time around.

On the scale of "things that CR rips have fucked up", Horrible Subs still takes the cake.

Bonus points for being jackasses about it as well.
