The art and animation isn't the best, as it was made in the 80s, but it is very quaint and fits in well with the story and adds to the feel of the show. The music is pretty good from what I was able to hear. It is mostly classical music for the background and again fits in well. I'm not sure how well they have portrayed the characters from the book, having only seen a small amount. They seem to have made Sera more of an average girl and downplayed her intelligence. I was annoyed at this, as she makes a couple of speeches demonstrating herintelligence during the first chapters of the book that were not seen in the anime.

Overall I highly enjoyed it. It is a more faithful adaptation than the 1995 movie. I have only been able to get a hold of the first two episodes of this, but if you're a fan of the book A Little Princess, I highly recommend hunting down as many as you can.
