I enjoyed this anime. It's definitely for the female audience: there's lots of romance, the heroine is very feminine, every guy is a bishounen. The characters actually make me hesitate to call it an excellent romance anime: Lydia is annoying at times, very conservative, always ready to doubt, and constantly referring to herself as a 'fairy doctor', which I think is an overused term. Edgar meanwhile though he later professes to love Lydia at one point appears to try to kill her, and really, if someone has ever plotted to kill you, could you really be with them? Some of the magic can be funny: I like the selkie best.

So, if you go into it not being too critical and accept the plot twists and characterizations as they are, it's a good anime to watch. (show less)

Since i am already a fan of anything Victorian-ish or Faye-ish, I loved this mini series. It combined a Victorian setting with your Roguish, mysterious, handsome guy, and shy, sheltered girl, and (what could have been if it the story hadnt been so smushed) an epic tale. The story tangles up everything from Brownies to Sylphs to the much scarier faye types... I have to say I'd be much happier with it if there were about 50 more episodes :P ..... If you dig the story at all, look up the "light book" series that this is loosely based on - and you will get the fill-in on the story and character depth that 12 episodes could barely touch on . (Its also quite a bit darker , be warned!) (show less)

if you're looking for something to watch to pass time, then...this would be a great anime to watch...that is if you like the fantasy stuff..coz it's all about the little creatures that the lead girl sees that a normal person usually doesn't..therefore...she was called a doctor...not that she can do anything...she is just able to see...what makes this anime nice is the lead guy...you don't really know if he's the right one but if he isn't the correct one...he'd make sure he becomes THE ONE..that my friend is determination...and his inconsistent ways are what makes him SO SO INTERESTING...there!
