I remember watching this series back when it aired on television.  It's been quite a while since then but I remember really liking the opening song.  After rewatching this series all over again, the opening song still gives me tinglies.  As for the series itself it's alot of fun.  There's a bit of swordplay in it and lots of clever lines.  While there are jokes about the 'proper' role of women in society as the quiet housewife and whatnot, this series pointedly makes a counterpoint with Emilia, who is an inventor, an accomplished exporter of goods, as well as a spy.

The Good.  The details that were included, from setting to costume and hair, were pretty good.  Characters were enjoyable to watch and there weren't any of those overly annoying characters that usually pop up.

The Bad.  My only complaint is that the series is so short.  I haven't looked up too much detail about the series but it's likely that it was cut for lack of interest.  I really doubt very many people would find an interest in this sort of show.

At any rate, overall this series was a fairly decent.  The arguments between Jack and Emilia are an interesting watch.  As far as recommending it, I don't know too many people who would watch this show and rank it among one of their favorites.
