About Emma: A Victorian Romance

Here is what Emma: A Victorian Romance (英國戀物語エマ) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama, romance and slice of life anime by Studio Pierrot (2005). What the story covers: In 19th-century London, class lines are sharply drawn, and the social standing to which people are born dictates the path their lives will follow. Emma, an honest and hardworking young maid, never felt her place in life to be a burden.

Along the way, then she met William, a member of the gentry and the eldest son of a wealthy family. His warm smile and earnest affection threaten to capture her heart... but can love truly conquer all?

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Tokuyoshi Kawashima as William Jones and Yuuji Ueda as Hakim Atawari. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
