A new anime this season that is based on the 19th century novel, and it's currently on the 4th episode(yet to see a sub group to pick this one up).

The story takes place in early 19th century France. Cosette is the daughter of Fantine. Unable to secure a job as a single mother, Fantine decides to pay an inn keeper couple to look after Cosette, while she tries to find a job on her own. However, being cruel and corrupt, the couple treat Cosette in a manner Fantine can never imagine...

With a little girl been left behind by her mother, and found herself in an unimaginable situation, I found the anime to be very emotional. I've never read the novel, so I can't comment on how closely it sticks to the original story. But according to the sources I've looked at, the original novel had a "multitude of plots", and most likely, the anime will only focus on Cosette's childhood.

The art style is a lot like some of the western styled animes from the 80s(something I really enjoyed as a toddler), and it's airing in full HDTV glory.

The attached song is the ending theme.
