I don't know if other anime fans or at least female ones know this feeling: You get in contact with a show and fall in love immediatley. I had this wonder happening several times in my life...more in depth with of course Utena and Marimite, slightley with Uta~Kata, Pretear and perhaps Loveless. This time again I was hardley hit. I don't care much abot promo trailers before a new season starts, but by accident I stumbled across that of The Good Witch of the West. Also the homepage looked promising, but the show itself surpassed all my expectations. This doesn't mean if you watch it has to be the same feeling for you, perhaps you don't like it at all...but I was hit by cupid's arrow and this will be perhaps one of my favourites, perhaps for a long time. The show is about Filiel, a rural girl that is allowed to visit the palace. On the same day she receives by another kid a necklace, though it's not her birthday. She's told its a heritage by her deceased mother. At the castle the piece of jewelry is detected by the princess and Filiel gets told she's the descendant of a queen. She doesn't believe that, but the events were already unfolding and she find's her father (like person?) killed, all books by her mother and her house burned down. If that doesn't sound romantic (of course she met the prince at the castle) but also promising for a not only love-love show? I will keep you up-to-date!
