A BBC period drama mixed with anime fantasy. I was aware of the TV series, but I never bothered watching it. A film on the other was something I was willing to go for, and so I started this one not really knowing what I was getting myself into. I feared worse, but it could've been better too.
The art style is detailed, and the animation is pretty lush. The film is quite a sight to behold, which is a good thing as the story gets pretty mushy and sentimental. Luckily, there are some fantasy elements to keep things interesting. A more concise and slightly more subtle approach would've made this a much better film though.
