I found a site for this anime series while browsing around the internet.
Has anyone ever heard of it before? Because the artwork caught my eye and was trying to find somewhere online I could buy it, but had no luck.

And if anyone has this, could you tell me where I could buy it? Thanks!

I found some information on it. It is not anime, but rather anime inspired and made by a French company:

From site with inappropriate name I can't mention here wrote:Marc Maggiori, lead singer with French rock band Pleymo, is also an illustrator and anime fan. He produced a 26 part anime series which he has sold to TV channels France 2 called Children of Okura. It is due for broadcast next year but French animation site Cellofan accuses him of plagiarizing Japanese anime images and gives examples here. The website is attempting to organize an email campaign to "out" Maggiori and has appealed to Japanese animation houses to complain. Local blogger Madame Pilot picked up the story a few months ago.


Most of the sites I found were either blogs or forums or foreign language
