Also on Crunchyroll, but is premium content there.
I had some medical problems these past few weeks ( a cold and some trouble with my right eye) so I took some time off and watched some anime I had been meaning to check out. Among them was one I'd heard about for years (it premiered back in 2005) as being high-quality but kept pushing it back because it's a slice of life historical romance. Not my usual cup of tea, so to speak, being a die hard scifi/fantasy nerd. But I'm really glad I stepped outside my comfort zone this time.
The anime was EMMA: A VICTORIAN ROMANCE. Set in 1895 London, a doofy heir of a wealthy business family, Will, falls hard for a working class maid, Emma. They begin a romance, but because everyone is so very prim and proper and emotionally constipated, shenanigans soon ensue as Will's family objects to him being with a commoner and tries to sabotage things. A great deal of melodrama and emotions unfold as the two struggle against the odds and their own doubts to be together.
As stated before, historical dramas and slice of life romances are not something I usually indulge in, but EMMA: A VICTORIAN ROMANCE had such outstanding characters, story, and production values I was sucked right in. I watched several episodes several times (also unusual for me) and downloaded the OST for both seasons as soon as I finished the finale. It's that good.
If you've ever liked productions like Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, or read Jane Austen stuff, this will be for you. I personally especially loved the stuff with all the maids and servants gossiping and interacting (mostly in the second half of the story.) I could have watched another whole season of just the Molder household going through its daily routines, lol.
But yes, watch EMMA: A VICTORIAN ROMANCE if you can. It's one of the true hidden gems of anime.
