Emma Anime

The opening theme song to the anime is the lovely instrumental Silhouette of a Breeze, by Kunihiko Ryo and Hijiri Kuwano. Full soundtrack.

The animated series was intended to have 36 episodes, but the quality - and the research - sent it so far over budget that it cuts off rather abruptly at episode 12. A new series has begun recently, Victorian Romance Emma Second Act.

Both series have been licensed for American release by Right Stuf. The first series will be available June 24, 2008.

    Extras

    Kaoru Mori has a one-volume earlier work, "Shirley" - clearly Emma's predecessor. The artwork is simpler, but the story is about another turn-of-the-century English maid (who is Kōta Hirano's third favorite).
  • Shirley (IIChan)

    A short fanbook for Emma and Shirley. Cute fanart and a bit of crossover!
  • Polychrome (IIChan)

    More of Mori's work: Kotonha has translated this short, subtle story about two modern-day high school girls.
  • Violet Blossoms

    There's an interview with Mori (in English) in the spring 2008 catalog from Right Stuf.
