If I remember right, Gosick was a January 2011 TV anime… I followed it at the time, got through 12 episodes, and since I figured it was just a moe vehicle—plus the April slate was stacked—I dropped it. More accurately: “I had no idea this show was 24 episodes!” So two years later, while bored out of my mind, I remembered, “Oh yeah, I still have 12 episodes of Gosick left,” and opened the files that had been sitting on my HDD forever. Watched it in fits and starts over two days. My reaction: I wanted to flip a table. “The back 12 episodes are the actual show!”
