short answer: yes... and yes.

Problem is that "good" is a meaningless word since we don't know what you like to watch. You might browse through the original thread for the series:

to get an idea.

Its a "medieval Japan-like" fantasy setting with lots of Ainu culture riffs. The people are genetically unusual ("fox-girls" is the easy way to describe it) for reasons not revealed yet. It is a mystery along with a looming epic war that involves a mysterious hero who has lost his memory. Though its rather pretty and cute, some of the sequences are pretty grim. Its nice to see a medieval fantasy setting with hardly any "magic" and no damned "D&D" races (elves, etc). I also like the Shinto-like religious riffs.
Some romance, some terror, reasonable amount of action after the introduction.

It would be nice if the animation were higher quality but they're doing a reasonable job for a tv budget series. I like the primitive style musical scoring.

edit: bento-cube speaks truth .. its all about the tailgra... I mean the mystery and political intrigue.
