So, I was thinking about something just now. I was just reading chapter 99, where Jasdebi are talking to Allen about the debts that Cross left them. Jasdero says that their debts add up to 100 guineas. I wasn't sure what kind of currency this was, so I went to look it up, and I found out that guineas were no longer minted beginning in 1816. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guineas#Nineteenth_century) So, I was wondering, if the series takes place in the 19th century, do you think that the reasonable timespan that the series takes place in is between 1800 and 1816?

Sorry for the rant, lol. xD

There are a mix of elements from the 19th century, as it's meant to be in an alternate universe. There are a lot of anachronisms in the series.

However, in episode 30, Riza's (newly deceased) husband's grave read -1897. And the Alfons Mucha poster date matches up with that fairly well. It seems 1897 is the final verdict in the anime, at least, so I stick with that.
