I'm not sure if anyone has seen this anime; i have it. It's very nice or whatever. I actually think it's a great anime except the fact it's
main character is D'Eon. (the title is.Le Chevalier D'Eon). Apparently he was someone famous in the 17th century or whatever..-_- and

GASP!

who was there?

Leaders of the bad guys?

But our own Maximilien Robespierre

*facepalm*
(does that ever get old?)

Apparently in this anime; He wants to bring revolution to the world and that means even slaughtering royalty *cheers*

and gasp some more..He's wigless and BLONDE!

I'll show you..

isn't that divine? >.>  Just to let you guys know. I actually really really enjoyed this anime; though i didn't get far.
and another important question..

i've heard..is it true when Maxime went under the blade that he actually was facing upward when the blade came down? I've read it one book but i'm not totally sure. I know his bandage was ripped off. God that must of hurt..

Robespierre in the series isn't what he seems. i won't elaborate for the sake of not spoiling anyone who wants to watch it/hasn't seen it all.

good series, historically inaccurate ALL OVER THE PLACE, but an actually nicely made production with plenty of thought put into it.

I have seen this anime (you know this) and I liked it so much, mostly drawing, and backgrounds. Actually I started to watch this anime because of Maximilien. I got bit shock , when I saw his blonde hair.
"Leaders of the bad guys?" Oh yes, he was evil, so much...that Maxime is nothing to do real one. After all I liked him in the anime.

there are a lot historical confusions in that anime, but I think it is intentional....

I won't spoil the plot so you can enjoy the series. It's a great, interesting and beautiful anime, but characters and History are used very freely. You can even see Arc du Triomphe in a prerevolutionary Paris. XDDD
Just keep in mind that maybe that one is not the Robespierre in who you are thinking in...

Yeah, won't spoil the plot for you! XD Next time, might I recommend finishing the series if you can before posting about it..? You'll see what we keep hinting at eventually. ^____^

And btw, no, he was not put in upside down - what's the book you heard that from? I also heard it, but the answer is no, they didn't. It would have been irrational that he was the only one ever in the history of guillotining that they did that too, and also it doesn't really work well that way. It's one of the many "evil villain" innovations about him; that's all.

I've actually skipped the anime episodes and actually just found out the ending. It's a very good series. ^^

I presume this series has nothing to do with the historical Chevalier d'Eon who was a French man who crossed dressed as a spy and then was ordered by Louis XV to stay dressed as a woman for the rest of his life? Cause that'd be a pretty entertaining series.

it... actually is one and the same. only a little bit tweaked. but there's cross-dressing on his part.

It's about him all right. Well, he explains it in the end.
Lots of alchemy, metaphysics of the Kingdom of France, freely interpreted history, but it's worth watching, because you'll enjoy spotting all the little tidbits: "hey, I heard of that, but it was different in reality, and that, and him.."

I'm pretty impressed by the laxness of the comments. Last time Chevalier and Rose of Versailles was mentioned the discussion was a lot more heated!
