Review of Arte

Story 10/10 + Renaissance Italy, seems like decent research was done as well to portray the life in this historic time period, comedy, with a hint of romance, no focus on religion or other such political issues (less drama) though they do get mentioned - Not clear which period exactly through other well-known painters/happenings Art 10/10 +Much detail to renaissance style, love for art seeps through the anime, most beautiful hands drawn even in the last episodes - some real artworks renditions for anime don't fit as well (some are adapted to anime style, others not) Sound 9/10 + nice background sounds, some reoccurring theme song for certain characters were fun andrecognisable
- no real remarkable intro & ending songs

Character 10/10
+ earnest hard-working girl, much in-depth history and character development, ambiguous actions,
- X

Enjoyment 10/10
+ Perfect for renaissance lovers, not only for painting but life in this historic period in general
- Not certain how historical correct it all is

Total of 9.8, overall real fun read. I'd even buy the manga if it were available in English, but alas, only in e-book format. I'll still keep my eyes our and perhaps buy the french or italian version even though I might only understand half of it - that's how good it is and how much it's worth supporting its further publication.
