Talking about the character development we can meet the main cast in this first season. What they do for the living and the environment they are: family, social status, etc. All characterrs are important and they are for something, no filler.
This story develops in some point in XIX century, where customs, social labels and even religion are very strict. If you weren’t born with money, at an early age you have to work, and if you are a woman… well, you know. Emma was very lucky to escape to this fate. Thanks to her guardian, Kelly, Emma can work and dedicate her life being a maid. Also, Kelly teach Emma how to read and write.
The anime takes its time to develop the story and the characters in order to know each other and what they want. With the music and the good animation this anime is a piece of art. a hidden jewel you have to watch at least one time.
Based in the manga of Kaoru Mori, the manga was animated by studio Pierrot. And the work made is really perfect talking about the setting of time, costumes, political and religious context, etc. Talking about the political and religious it isn’t that obvious but its not coincidence that we are talking about England of 19th century that is named after the queen Victoria.
This anime is perfect if you like romance stories in this period of time. I won’t lie, the story is predictable about how the main couple will end. This first season ends in a really sad point, but a second season that promises us a continuation of the story of William and Emma will have a happy end.
