	Anime Pilgrimage D/R » Rose of Versailles - episodes 25-39 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rose of Versailles’s remarkably balanced account of the events showed that neither of the ruling parties - the Bourbon Dynasty and their nobles and Robespierre’s gang of ostensibly egalitarian but ultimately powerhungry intellectuals - were “good”.
		In Rose of Versailles, Fersen was presented as little more than a charismatic man torn by his inability to pursue a meaningful relationship with Marie Antoinette.

		The way that she is portrayed is both as an ultra feminist and a misogynist; along with the men, she laughs at the vapidity of the women in court and smirks at their petty antics.
		Rose of Versailles will eventually turn to a wider-reaching story of both love and politics, but for the moment it is the internal politics of the court that are at the fore.
		Rose of Versailles is important anime and, not surprisingly, a huge hit in France.

	AnimeNfo.Com : Rose of Versailles
		Raised to the duties of a man from her birth (the result of the desires of her father, General Jarjayes), Lady Oscar Jarjayes is the captain of the royal guards at the Versailles Palace in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
		Though her beauty and noble spirit made her a shining figure in the eyes of both men and women, she is torn in the conflict between her upbringing as a man, forced into a life of service and duty to the monarch, and her heart and desires as a woman.
		She lives as a noble amidst the opulence of Versailles but her keen senses and compassion are not blinded to the poverty of the French people.

	KAEL on Rose de Versailles
		She is only so fascinating because she was raised as a man, and led a life as a man. Named "Oscar" by her heirless father, she was forced into a military career at the tender age of 14 when King Louis XV appointed her Royal Guard Commander for the Royal Family.
		ROSE begins innocently enough, at the turning point of two lives: one destined to become the last queen of France, the other destined to serve her.
		Perhaps the biggest reason ROSE seems to transcend your typical melodrama would be its historical setting and strong cast of characters.

		The 250th anniversary of the birth of Marie-Antoinette (born in Vienna in 1755) is being used as a pretext by TMS Entertainment and the Takarazuka Revue Company to revive the Rose of Versailles.

	Rose of Versailles
		It was written for a female audience that was not too particular about historic accuracy—and not just in regards to the highly exaggerated glamour and romance of Ikeda's Versailles.
		The premise a girl could be raised to become a palace guard in 18th century France requires quite a suspension of disbelief, even though it is a central theme of the story.
		Her portrayal as someone who took advantage of the Queen's favor is real; her relationship with Rosalie is not.

	Anifanatikku : Rose of Versailles, the Review
		The Rose of Versailles is an extremely gripping dramatic show in the Shojo vein.
		The animation style of the Rose of Versailles is very old and that may put some viewers off.
		The Rose of Versailles is only available though fansubs and after 25 of not being licensed I think that is the only way you could ever see it without learning Japanese.

		Princess Knight in its turn inspired the classic shojo manga The Rose of Versailles, published in 1972, whose plot is similar.
		In it, the Lady Oscar is raised by her father as a boy in the turmoil of the royal court in Revolutionary France.

		Osamu Dezaki was one of the most prominent Japanese animationist, recognized for a visual style that aims to give the viewers a sense of 'static movement'.
		Considered to be one of his best works, "The Rose of Versailles" features a young heroine, Oscar, seeking to find her role in a world that falls apart around her in the most violent way possible - the French Revolution.
		This series doesn't focus on her alone, as backstabbing politics that occur inside the confines of the Versailles give the viewers compelling reasons to watch.
