Les Miserables: Shoujo Cossette
First episode by a group called Delicious (http://a.scarywater.net/delicious/%5BDelicious%5D%20Les%20Miserables%20-%2001%20%5B7B73D343%5D.mkv.torrent)
There isn't yet description for this anime available, so I will quote here a description of the source itself:
"Les Misérables (translated variously from French as The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Victims) (1862) is a novel by French author Victor Hugo, and among the best-known novels of the 19th century. It follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a twenty year period in the early 19th century that includes the Napoleonic wars and subsequent decades. Principally focusing on the struggles of the protagonist—ex-convict Jean Valjean—struggling to redeem himself, the novel examines the impact of Valjean's actions as social commentary. It examines the nature of good, evil, and the law, in a sweeping story that expounds upon the history of France, architecture of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, law, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love." -Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Miserables)
Genres: Drama, historical.

Well, great many are of course familiar with this title, as the novel indeed is very, very famous, and equally masterful. For me, it was one of the first novels I ever read. And thus this anime caught my attention immediately the first time I saw it mentioned somewhere.
Based on the first episode this looks like a decent creation. The graphics are quite smooth, with a pretty high contrast between the backgrounds that look detailed and artistic and the rather simply drawn characters. But with jolly good 52 episodes, that's understandable. Now, I haven't heard of Delicious before, but they did decent if not necessarily impressive work. Still, I wouldn't mind if they got some competition, but I'm more than happy this series got a subber at all! What comes to the story, it seems pretty fast despite the double episode number, but on the other hand, it was a thick book...
OP and ED very quite nice as well. I'll most certainly keep watching this.
