Costumes and setting are sumptuous but the dubbing into English I think must lose something in translation because the conversations leaned stilted. The word choices sounded like bad machine translation.
As far as the story, the first episode is really the best, the fire sequences are great and the introduction of the three main protagonist characters, whose lives are about to become intertwined/changed, is a good hook. Subsequently, the story gets less tight and more melodramatic, making it more talky which made the terrible dubbing really grating.
