Based on episode 1, this show, like its predecessor, definitely deserves more attention than it's getting. Sure, it's pure shoujo reverse-harem fantasy adventure (what a mouthful!), but what's wrong with that?
The show has a sparkling, almost classical, atmosphere that you don't get elsewhere. It has a story. The animation is good. The palace backgrounds are wonderful. The story is told in a way that gives it shape and spaciousness. And it has some of the loveliest male voices around, now including Sugita Tomokazu. And I foolishly didn't realize until just now that Ange is played by Honna Youko, who starred as Shizuka in Ghibli's Whisper of the Heart, my favorite full-length animation.
