I've found story of 99-nen no Ai - as said before - interesting. Maybe only minus would be that whole history was showed only from Japanese point of view, but on the other hand it make sense as it was family saga of Japanese family, who emigrated to USA.
Can't say much about acting or music, as I didn't much attention to them. Also from my personal point of view the whole series was way too long (2h for each episode) and was bored at times. Rewatch Value for me is very low - coz 1) I don't like to rewatch and 2) episodes are too long for my taste.
Overall, if you are interested in the topic and want to watch family saga (pretending to be documentary ) - it will be a good watch.
