| I'm glad I finally got around to watching this today. The first episode doesn't seem to stray too far from the original, at least, from what I remember. However, I wonder if its going to split from it and go its own way later on.... I really liked the manga when first I read it a couple years ago. I liked it so much that I ended up translating the second volume myself (lol). Fell in love with the setting and Yune immediately. Not to mention Hinata Takeda's art is absolutely beautiful! |
| I can tell this is going to be very good. Very relaxing and heartwarming. This first episode sure has a lot going on already and the story seems to be very well developed, unlike what I expected. I am going to guess that Kimono will play a very big part in the ending. Also Yuna is just so adorable. |
 |
| Only 12 eps? Aww. I hope it just doesn't end at Yune going back to Japan or something. There's almost no time for a romance development... |

| I spat my coffee and laugh when I heard french at the beginning XD Otherwise... Yune is damn adorable. Will keep watching. from the display picture of this anime, I thought Yune suppose to be a teen... not a child. But oh wellz ^_^ |

ThomasRomain said: Hi guys, Thank you for all the heart warming comments. I'm part of the staff of Ikoku meiro no croisee, along with my two french co-workers and friends Stan and Yann. The production is over yet but we worked a lot on this series and it was a real honnor and pleasure. I've already worked with Sato Junichi (aria, the OVA) and I was really glad to have been picked up this time again. This is the first time I worked with Yasuda san (director) and I really enjoyed his sensitive touch and his constant attention to details. We were in charge of all the backgroud design (except the color which was done by Kawaguchi san of the atelier roku), the props setting, a lot of language checking, and all the layouts of the exposure scenes. Like always (Oban star racers, basquash!...) I'm still writing about my experience in japanese animation industry on the well knowned french animation site catsuka.com. Please check the satelight forum to look at some production designs. http://www.catsuka.com/interf/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7157&start=23 Sorry, it's in french! I intend to post more of it next weeks. And feel free to ask questions, I will be happy to answer. Enjoy the show, the best is still to come! Welcome here, I don't expect a production staff to suddenly pop here :p Your link is so awesome, I haven't read the post but the pics explains why the background is amazing. I am hoping for more scenery p0rn here :p And, as for the anime itself, no other comments other than...I am hoping for the next generation of ARIA. Healing anime is truly a hidden gem which I always love :p. Awesome first ep. |
| Nice little surprise this season. I'll be following this religiously. Need more anime that do nothing but relax the viewer. |
| Cute and refreshing would be the words I'd use to describe this first episode. I'm in. |
| Ha-cha! |
| This seems like it will be a nice relaxing anime. Something nice to watch when you are tired. Nothing that will blow you away but enjoyable nevertheless. Yune was such a cute little thing. I wanna take her home. Yumekichi11 said: I find that the best part of Yune for me was her blush in the following I found that the worst personally. She a nice cute little thing she doesn't have to go from moe to moe-blob with some overly big eyes expressions. |

| This show is really good! i like it! |
| I actually really liked the 1st episode. Yune is absolutely adorable. This anime kinda reminds me of Spice and Wolf, which is all the better. <3<3<3 |

| Yune is so cute. ^^ It's impossible not to love her. ^^ |
| I didn't expect to like this first episode as much as I did. Yune and Claude are interesting and very likable characters. And the show is the perfect change of pace from the other shows I'm watching. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series. |
 |
| Victorique was small, but her character was more defined by her naughty personality, her intellect and the rare adorable reactions to Kujo's actions or the things that he brought her. This girl in this anime seems like she is 3 years old, acts like a 3 year old and has nothing to distinguish her from any of the other "cute" stereotypes. She even breaks stuff by accident... Honestly... |
 |
| Great! Yune is a lovely character and the setting is promising as well! I will sure watch the whole season! 5/5 |
| Cute show. It was just hard to get the feel of it for most of it because everyone was speaking Japanese and yet they didn't understand each other. It was too ironic for me! Except at the end, it seems she knows French and is now speaking "French", which is Japanese so she technically is talking just as she used to. Oy |

| Yume is really cute. I think she has got too many kimonos - she is abigail. But i must wirte it: her kimonos are beautyfull and i'll be watching this anime for her outfits :) |
   |
| FUUUUUU- Yune is so fcking cute! I think I died of sweetness this episode O.O" Wow it's amazing she can speak their language and she's so cute and devoted <3 I'm sure I'm gonna love this anime! |
| Can I say CUTE or what. |
 |
| i was putting this off for a while but now i am lovin it. ok so when they need someone to use french they get someone who speaks it fluently and well, but when they need someone to speak English, they find the one person who has the stereotypical Japanese English accent.....meh also the fact that she cant speak french is rather confusing becuase it is assumed that their speech is in french but its all in Japanese. the context is very weakened because of this but oh well. but still....so heartwarming....much better than some of the shit out there. |
| NOOO cuteness is my weakness >_< that the most butifull anime these sesen or year |
 |
| Ah, this was excellent. My favorite of the summer season thus far. |
| 8/10 if this anime change some thing like normally character speak french it will be great 10/10 |
| Yune is too cute! I nice, relaxing show, but I found it to be a little too slow. I think it could be a great show, but needs to pick up just a little. I need more drama than a sign breaking... But, I have high expectations, I think this will turn out to be fantastic! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| OMG she's way too cute. |

| Okay, several thoughts on this: 1. I felt connected to Yune because I live in foreign country as well. I can understand if Yune feels uneasy in the unfamiliar surroundings. 2. Yune is a hard worker. Even though she is young and new to her surroundings, she tries her best to do all those chores. 3. Yune is very cute. I like her adorable eyes and the way she looks petite. I love the scene when she makes sound by her shoes. It was just so lovely! In overall, I found Croisee very interesting and hope to see more of Yune-chan! <3 |
| I have found my WAIFU |
| -Fixing- |
| I'm glad I decided to watch this anime. A very heart warming anime =) Yune is so cute~ She's just too matured for a child at her own age. BTW. how old is she? |
 |
| I had this series in my hard-drive for a couple weeks. I decided to watch the first one. I was not disappointed. This is going to worth watching all 12 episodes. It would be nice to see more of this series. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| The art is beautiful, the city looks magnificent. And of course Yune looks adorable. Great episode and i have high expectations for the rest of series. |
 |
| This anime has all the elements to be great. |
 |
| Damn what a great start quite lovely art and the story seems to be starting somewhere off nice! I wonder how it will develop :D Very kawaii and sweet main character totally lovely :D |
 |
| 19th century setting in Paris? Hmm... Yune looks pretty cute like a little doll. Those moe eyes and her innocent expressions. I'm not sure if I'll like the series though because historical theme is not my style and this seems a bit too lighthearted to be entertaining. |
 |
| I love this anime! I'm watching it for the second time! |

| Really liked this. Hopefully it stays interesting. |
 |
| Yune's so adorable <3! I guess I won't be doing a marathon for this. It's one of those series you watch when you're in a bad mood and need to cheer up. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I barely got through the first 5 minutes without exploding from the moe overload, Yune is precious beyond words. This looks like it's going to be a fun and heartwarming watch, I like the interactions between Claude and Yune this first episode. So she understood everything he said huh? I was worried about the language barrier but I'm glad that's the case, it really helped Claude reassess his thoughts. |
 |
| Seems like a nice, short series The setting is quite refreshing |
