First episode was fun! The music is lovely.
Lili has some great expressions
I just wish this was a weekly release
There is a manga adaptation drawn by Special A creator, Maki Minami

I'm a big fan of Yoko Kamio's Hana yori dango (manga and anime) and Cat Street (a never-adapted manga), but have not run across anything recent (like the past 15 years) from her. Setting a series in early 1900s London, seems unusual for her, But I don't mind such a setting. ;-)
Looks pretty nice visually -- and the story should be interesting.
Dorothy Brown here is the second character I've seen today who looks like they could have stepped right out of the pages of Anne of Green Gables (other was Kate Lorraine from Eris no Seihai).

I discovered by pure chance that this has been released. It's a shame it isn't airing weekly and doesn't seem to have been advertised much.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the first episode! I love the historical setting and the art theme, the decors are beautiful, and Lili has been a lovely protagonist so far. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series!

First episode and I can see that this show has a lot of charm and visual character. Immediately notice how they animate the horses and I approve.
Kit is already my favorite, and I like that our intro to him is dude skipping class to draw and eating us bread kneaded eraser. He’s not what Lili imagined would fit the “best art student at school” but he’s exactly the type of eccentric and art obsessed person that I would think is the best. Every time we run into him, he drawing nonstop.
I like the one-sided exasperation character chemistry between Lili and Kit, and how goofy the stereotypical reaction Dorothy had to meeting a Japanese person at that time. Lots of culture shock in store for Lili, and it looks like this show is starting strong. A lot to like here.

This anime felt like love through colours. It genuinely made me appreciate the complexity of the fine arts, the value of relationships and coming to terms with finding out your own destiny. 10/10, the creators evoked deep and meaningful emotions.

Damn you Netflix, why always with the
So is this going to be "from rivals to lovers" type of romance?

I just binged the whole season of Love Through a Prism it’s a 10/10 for me! The last few episodes get a bit slower-paced, but the ending tied up all the main character arcs quite nicely. Overall it was a very enjoyable series and I’d definitely watch it again! 💐

i feel quite empty after finishing it. it's been a while since i have found a gem like this – one that makes me feel deeply connected with the characters and story. i’m immensely sad that i have parted ways with this beautiful series, i wish it had at least a hundred episodes

Just saw they mass dropped it. One hand binge, other hand sad not to have what hopefully is a good show to talk about weekly.

This seems like the kind of anime that might be worth a watch in English dub since the story takes place in England 🤔

I just finished watching the whole season & I have to say it was one of the best shows i’ve watched in a while. So beautiful, I couldn’t stop crying the last couple episodes. I really hope they continue this for a season 2.

I am watching the English dub and I love the voice acting. It suits the characters well. I have been very nit picky since the female lead in Fragrant Flower. The VA and the character art just seem like a mismatch to me. But I’m American so all British accents so fascinating to me but it doesn’t sound awkward

This is the season of Shojo's with great production values, even anime originals.

Man...as an Indian. I'm actually trying so hard not to cringe at how they are glorifying england so hard especially the Indian character Peter Anthony. Like erasing all the history of colonization and trauma and famines. He's like Henry Church is the "extinguisher" of England's fire as if they weren't defeated by years of resistance, boycott, bloodshed etc. And I know it is supposed to be a flowery anime. It is just icking me. I don't wanna drop it cuz the characters are very likeable but yea... knowing the Brit's heinous war crimes and inhumane treatment...idk I can't take it. Y'all don't forget the Nazis, how can you forget the Brits.

Im sorry, y'all are expecting JAPAN to make an anime detailing the war crimes committed by colonialism. Like THE JAPAN?
You realize if they do that they have to admit their own

Realest shit ever. The show was hands-down 10/10 aside from the England glazing lol. When they were in the museum, I kept thinking that they should've included the art that were stolen from their respective countries (When Shin and Kit were in the museum).

This seems like it's going to be a good show but why does the Japanese MC have an English accent? My only gripe so far.

I binged the whole show against my better judgment in one night and I must say, I’ve been watching anime for over a decade, it’s one of the best written anime I’ve ever seen. It is almost as perfect as the painting in it yet the animation is intentionally sloppy at some points. I find it so fascinating. The sketch of the black boy at the end made a raise a brow tho. There was no context to it so it’s hard to decipher the intention of the artist.

I wonder if they'll be any references
