Short Synopsis: Ah, it seems that Emily will be living together with both Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle (?).
Good: Clashing personalities for the win.
Bad: The music seemed to be a bit too dramatic at times
Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10
Now that I started comparing Seirei no Moribito with Wellber no Monogatari anyway, I also began to notice that Kaze no Shoujo bears some similarities to Les Miserables. Both feature a young girl, losing her parents, they’re both taken in with people whose personality clash hugely, and they’re both HUGELY underrated. Seriously, I can’t believe how little attention this anime is getting. It’s quite good.
I’m not sure though whether Emily can ever equal the brilliance of Les Miserables, bit it’ll be interesting to find out. In any case, Kaze no Shoujo is lighter in terms of storyline than Les Miserables. Still, that doesn’t mean that there were some dark parts in this storyline. I especially loved when Emily and Elisabeth had a conflict with one another, like when Elisabeth planned to cut Emily’s hair, or when she locked her in the room with all the scary paintings. She’s also not a totally evil bitch like Thenardier either, her personality and views just clash hugely with those of Emily.
So far, we’ve yet to see a lot of the cases of the other characters. Perry was present in this episode, though nothing was revealed about his background, other than that he’s often involved in dirty work. The end of the episode also introduced the third character, and so far, I love her. I’m looking forward to the cases of these different characters a lot, as according to Wikipedia, they seemed very interesting. :)]]>
Kaze no Shoujo Emily – 02
I would LOVE to give it some attention, but sadly no one has subbed it and probably never will. It also appears as though Les Miserables subs have halted. I can’t say I didn’t expect any of this, since I did. Oh well…
Ah, yes. Those damned subs. It’s such a pity that series like these just are not popular with the fansubbers.
I wanted to upload the trailers on youtube… perhaps this way the series will get more attention? But they don’t work TT
I’m currently trying to tell every fan of the books to watch the series… I must say it’s for selfish purposes. If it’s not popular I doubt I’ll ever get to see the series subbed. Then again I can see they’re kinda messing up the book XD so I’m not so eager to watch it as I originally was. But Kawakami Tomoko is just too good!
One question: where did you get the second ep? Are you from Japan?
Wait… the torrent for the raw still hasn’t appeared at this point? I’m not from japan, by the way, I just used a program called “Share” to get in the episode.
^^ Are you sure it’s Teddy (the artist) who appears in this ep and not PERRY (the hired boy)?
Actually, I’m not. 😛
My Katakana is horrible, so when he introduced himself, I understood “Teddy”, instead of “Perry” ^^; Fixed that now.
boring show !!!!! wasted my time looking at the show….no comment
I can understand why some people would consider it boring… I probably wouldn’t have looked this up if I hadn’t read the book.
Thanks for the reviews 🙂
Regarding the discussion above, please, if anyone can sub this + put it on Youtube, it would be awesome! I watched the live-action TV series and read the books last year and would love to see how the anime version turned out.
OMG!! OMG!! I soo want to watch it!! Where can you watch it from? I love the books!
Whoa, I never realized that the books had so many fans. Anyway, if you want to watch the subs, you still have to wait a bit, as even the first episode hasn’t come out yet. It’s such a shame that shows like this one are never popular with the fansubbers. -_-
EMILY IS EVIL!
