Gosick (TV).

Plot Summary: GOSICK takes place in 1924 in a small, made-up European country of Sauville. The story centers on Kazuya Kujo, the third son of a Japanese Imperial soldier, who is a transfer student to St. Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. There he meets Victorique, a mysterious yet beautiful and brilliant girl who never comes to class and spends her days reading the entire content of the library or solving mysteries that even detectives can't solve.

Yuuki Aoi's voice alone is enough for me to watch. She's using the same voice as Mina Tepes in Dance in the Vampire Bund. So awesome.

That has to be the dumbest murder mystery case I've ever read/seen. spoiler[Why would a maid have a pistol? Why? It makes no sense whatsoever. It was clear as day that she was the murderer because maids do not carry pistols. They carry brooms.]

Not to mention all the kids were scared of him for no good reason... what the heck? At least when all the schoolkids were scared of Ryuuji in Toradora it was explained it was because of his appearance, whereas this kid is a complete bore and looks like every other boring shounen protagonist out there.

"Reaper" was a nickname Kazuya would rather do without. Most students here had an insatiable love for horror stories, and the sheer age of the school had allowed it to accumulate more than its fair share of legends and beliefs, such as "the traveler who comes in the spring brings death with him" or "a devil lives in the thirteenth stair."
Because Kazuya Kujo was a black-haired, black-eyed Asian traveler who rarely spoke, he'd quickly been identified as "the traveler who comes in spring." The students who knew the adage avoided Kazuya as much as possible. He wasn't sure how many of them really believed in it, but they were all on board, as if they'd agreed that this would make the game all the more entertaining.

Does this protagonist get less buttmonkey and actually do stuff like Yuuji in Shana or does he remain the same?

Yuuki Aoi's voice alone is enough for me to watch. She's using the same voice as Mina Tepes in Dance in the Vampire Bund. So awesome.

The crime itself was dumb. But who here was smart enough to figure out how it worked before she said?

Who here was smart enough to figure out that the pistol shown in the explanation was an anachronism and that regardless, spoiler[there is no way a pistol from the 1920s could have a bullet fire clean through the keyhole... ]

spoiler[and how exactly does that unlock the door?]
