Is there any animation about the cradle chair detective?

This is a small European country called Suva, where there are many mysterious legends and stories. It is said that there is a lot of gold buried somewhere in this country; It is said that there are gray wolves in the forest far beyond human wisdom; It is said that the black death will come with a sickle in spring; It is said that there is a golden fairy on the roof of the school. No matter what mysterious story has its own story, Kujou Kazuya, a Japanese student from here, met a petite and lovely blonde girl in this country, and the wheel of fate began to turn.

Black Death and Jin Xian, two people who may not have any intersection, met together. What kind of story will happen between them in this country full of mysterious stories?

GOSICK (also translated as Gothic Detective) is a TV animation adapted by Bone Society. The script is adapted from Sakuragi's light novel of the same name. This series was created by Okada Mari, who is very good at telling youth stories. Teacher Sakuragi won the Naoki Award in Japan and successfully rose from light novel to literary world. She is a very influential writer. After that, she seldom wrote light novels, but occasionally wrote some on a whim.

This animation has 24 episodes. The story develops from the initial meeting of teenagers and girls to their post-war life. It can be said that it is a long love run. The encounter between the protagonist and Victoria Jia has always been described by animation as the encounter of fate. Maybe their relationship is like this, it is inevitable occasionally, just like a fairy tale.

If I were to describe this story in one sentence, I would say that it is an easy chair detective story full of fairy tale style. The animation is full of fairy-tale bright colors, and there are many beautiful scenery, such as rooftops full of plants, lush forests, campuses wrapped in flowers and green leaves, and even the Alps. It really looks like a fairy tale.

Easy chair detective is a detective who can infer the truth only from the description of the case. Since the publication of Baroness Oshitz's novel The Old Man in the Corner, the easy chair detective has become a role that all mystery writers want to challenge. However, although this work is a detective story, the part about detective is slightly weak, and the focus of the story is more on the changes of characters' thoughts and the relationship between characters. By solving the truth, the audience gradually knows.

The heroine in the story-the golden fairy in the forest and the gray wolf Victoria is really a very lovely girl, as petite and lovely as a doll. When Yimi first met her, she really made her a doll, which really made the audience laugh and cry.

For Victoria, the first enemy is boredom. She used to stay alone for a long time, and the way to kill time was reading, through which she also gained a lot of knowledge. The appearance of Mimi made Victoria drive away her biggest enemy, but brought her second enemy "noise". Whether bored or noisy, Victoria is actually just a child who is afraid of loneliness.

Victoria was really a cold doll before she met one meter. She read many obscure books and learned a lot about the world. She became pure and rational, not only because of reading, but also because of her father's attitude towards her. Victoria was used and kept as a weapon since she was a child, which made her very clear about what benefits are, so she always thought that her brother wanted to take her to play and just used her.

However, the appearance of one meter completely changed Victoria Jia, just like a Black Death invaded her life and harvested all her boring parts. He will climb hundreds of stairs to see her every day, which will bring her chaotic fragments, reason with his brother Gu Lei for her benefit, carry Victoria on his back when crossing shallow water, stand in front of danger to protect her, and promise to meet her again.

As a stupid human being, he is not rational at all. What he did can't be compared with the reward. He was more worried about the safety of others than himself, which made Victoria interested in him and changed Victoria's later life.

If you don't meet girls, Victoria's life as a secret weapon has been confirmed. She will interpret a lot of information collected during the war, then predict the future direction of the war, and finally become a consumable of the war and be abandoned or broken. But Victoria is not only a gray wolf, but also a girl who is afraid of loneliness.

The appearance of one meter made Victoria determined to get rid of her fate, and gave up her self-esteem for mercy in order to survive, and her relationship with her brother also improved. She began to know her brother Gu's affection and concern for herself. Gu secretly let Victoria go out to play again and again, and finally directly guaranteed that she boarded the boat leaving Suva and bid farewell to the one meter in Japan.

The background of animation took place between World War I and World War II. During this period, countries broke out in an arms race and the financial crisis swept the world. Even a small country like Suva is constantly developing its own self-protection power. This is an era of panic, rumors and legends, science and superstition, legends and truth. Ghost divination, resurrection of the dead, alchemy, mysterious religious theory and so on have all been discussed again. Due to lack of confidence in the future, people began to doubt science, and even the public and politicians began to tell fortune, which was one of the topics discussed by Gossick.

The constant entanglement between "science school" and "magic school" in the kingdom also constitutes the whole background framework of the story. From the initial "rabbit divination" to the later Bebusi skull, science, superstition, war and other elements are mixed together, which makes the story full of tension and connotation and becomes a masterpiece that can never be tired of reading.

Yimi is a simple boy and a brave and powerful man. Just like tales of mystery, whoever started the story is the Black Death since spring. He broke the chain of fate on the Victoria, crossed the darkness of the battlefield, survived the corpses of his companions, and finally returned home to meet Victoria again.

For Amy, Victoria is neither a monster nor a gray wolf. She is just a lonely girl who is afraid of loneliness. She is very weak, she has to hold it by herself to move, and she is easy to catch a cold and very headstrong. But this is Victoria, a very important companion of Yimi, and the object she wants to protect her life.

The part about science and magic in animation is also very interesting. Magic can also be explained by science, and the power of magic can also be a huge weapon, such as the statue of the crying virgin in Babs' skull, Leviathan's alchemy and white roses, forest gray wolves and so on. These are all explained by technology. The future era is also the era of science. Tanks become bombers, science is changing with each passing day, and people accept all this in panic.

Victoria is like a golden fairy, detached from all this. On the roof of that small library, she looked at obscure books, understood what was happening in the world, and let time flow like this until some black man pushed the door open.

Generally speaking, Gossick is one of my favorite works, and it is also my introductory work. It is also the first novel I wrote immediately after watching the animation. Animation and novels are quite interesting and easy to read, giving readers a power to find love and courage. Whenever Victoria insists, their agreements and fetters will warm me up and make me believe in the simplicity and beauty of human nature in this interest-driven society.

In fact, there are short stories about Victoria and Kujou Kazuya after the novel. After their marriage, they moved to new york and started a new life by opening the strongest detective agency in new york called Grey Wolf. Perhaps in the new time, Victoria can give full play to her knowledge, but for the wayward Victoria, the suffering (beauty) of life has just begun.
