I did not really enjoy Taisho Otome Fairy Tale at first; the main male protagonist was depressed and kept going on and on about how pessimistic he was, although he did not strike me as a pessimist, just a person who is depressed for logical reasons. Also, I did not particularly appreciate that his father had just bought him a wife. Sure, they were different times; however, it still was not my cup of tea as a form of introduction. Despite that, gradually, I got a better impression as Yuzuki Tachibana slowly warmed the main protagonist's heart and changed the atmosphere around him. Within moments, it became a charming love story, a nice slice-of-life anime series, and, as the title suggests, a cute Taisho-era fairy tale. It ends with a decently handled dramatic and emotional conclusion. On the other hand, I have to add that it was not that strong dramatically, and it only worked occasionally as a comedy. I have even heard comparisons of this anime series to Fruits Basket, but honestly, the latter is a level or two above Taisho Otome Fairy Tale in many ways. Anyway, the overall atmosphere was fine; this anime series made me root for its characters, showed some of the realities of 1920s Japan, and worked as a motivation to overcome some obstacles and move on in life, and I do not simply mean just the infamous "love can move mountains." 6.9/10.
