What is love? Love is truth. Love is reality and love is ability to let go.... That is what this series is trying to convey. If you love somebody, you must be able to swallow the truth, face reality and be able to let go. If you let your loved one go, if he /she comes back, that means you are meant to be together. He/she is definately your soulmate...I watched EMMA ~ VICTORIAN ROMANCE 1 last year on Animax. This anime is about a forbidden love between a maid and a rich gentlemen. The plot is very simple yet it is very profound. The the theme is well-dealt throughout the series. The relationship between two protagonists is very well-developed. On top of that, I also adore the opening theme Silhouette Of A Breeze and the ending theme Minuette for Emma since they complement the Victorian setting very well.
Even though the final episode ends with a pretty sad note (which cause me to cry my heart out), I felt rather 'relieved' with the thought that Emma finally left William Jones and London. It's because, during that era (Victorian) and within that society, I don't think that their love would flourish and thrive. In fact, I strongly believe, Emma will suffer even more. She will be mercilessly crucified by the prejudiced and ruthless society that, apparently, obsessed with social status and hierarchy. Therefore, I rejoice the idea she left him.... She could find another shoulder for solace.

Soon, I'll be reviewing Emma: Victorian Romance 2nd Act. Do stay tuned.
