I understand that these characters act and speak the way they do because of the time/setting of the genre, but I also know full well I am watching a "Japanese" show (hell, they are in England and everyone is talking Japanese). What turned me off was that Emma felt like an introverted version of Belldandy. Her reluctance to act on feelings is nothing I haven't seen in other anime characters. So I don't think our negative dislike for the show is strictly rooted in the "genre" of being a Victorian period piece. I did love the final scene, as well as many others, but that's mainly due to the aesthetics of the art. I completely sympathize with your frustration to the series and I agree with your comments.
