1. character background story,
2. action scenes choreography,
3. concept of mystical world.
No like:
1. Character design. Faces are too deformed even for anime, bodies look as if everyone in this country suffers from severe anorexia,
2. plain 100% predictable plot. At the same time it lacks logic a bit. Should circumstances of this anime be real, people wouldn't act this way,
3. mixed style and mismatched clothes, furniture and other objects. Series' designer didn't put effort into actually representing XIX century Great Brittain,
4. Ending. It leaves impression that authors were creating slow-paced narration for 10 series and then rushed to the end like "there's no tomorrow". Ending episodes look cramped and lacking sense.
No complaints:
Voice actors, mosuc, coloring.
General impression:
it seems that series are imitating "Howl's Moving Castle". Both setting and main male character are extremely close. Other characters resemble those from Ghibli's movie too. Even their number and approximate age matches. Despite similarities "Howl's Moving Castle" stands on completely different level.
Should you watch it?
Yes, if you like fairitales and romance. If you're a lady who likes Twilight, you'll love these series. If you're bored by both action and philosophy but still like art style of anime.
No, if you prefer action, sci-fi or deep thoughts. If you hate cheesy romance or unexplained details.
