Best of the last season: Gosick

Followers of anime know, a new season of anime has started: the summer season xD
that means that a lot of new series are aired and fansubbed, so fans in other lands can see them too :D. Last seasons best was in my opinion Gosick
It can make you laugh and cry at the same time, and soon you become addicted to the serie. Wikipedia says this:
Gosick is a Japanese light novel series by Kazuki Sakuraba, published by Fujimi Shobo. Set in a fictional European country in 1924, a Japanese exchange student meets a mysterious, brilliant girl who only leaves the library to sleep. Her brother, a detective, relies on her exceptional mind to solve difficult mysteries.
In the broad this is right, but I want to go further in it;
The main characters are Kazuja Kujo and Victorique de Blois, as you can see in the picture. Kujo is the youngest son of a high ranking officer in Japan, and wants to escape from his brothers' shadows, so he goes to study abroad, to st. Marguerite, in Sauville. With his black hair and the student body's belief he became 'the reaper that comes in spring', in short 'the dark reaper' and nobody wants te befriend him. 
As if it is destiny, he meets Victorique, also called 'the golden fairy', is a girl who is tiny, with long golden hair (almost as a doll) and a voice of that of an older woman. She lives in the library, except for sleeping, and never comes outside the academy, because she isn't allowed to.  She is rather unsocial, and thinks that Kujo is a idiot for walking up the stairs, when there is a elevator. She really likes sweets, and Kujo must bring her a satisfying sweet, that isn't boring.  She possesses the wellspring of wisdom, so she can reconstruct chaos in cases even detectives can't solve. (One of these detectives is her brother, Grevil de Blois)
The story begins in 1924, only a few years after WWI, and people are unsure. Kujo and Victorique are mostly trying to solve murder cases, and form bonds with a lot of different people. 
The opening theme is Destin Histoire and the ending themes are Resuscitated Hope and Unity.
This anime is definitely one of the better animes in my opinion!
There are 24 episodes,  genre(s) are mysterie, history and a little bit romance.
The rating I give is a 9,5!
