Versailles no Bara (Movie)

The Rose of Versailles is one of the greatest anime ever made. The Rose of Versailles (Movie) is not. This is a glorified recap movie with a new code of paint. The movie tells, or tries to anyway, the full story of The Rose of Versailles, but in less than two hours. What this results in is a movie going through some of the more important plot points traditionally, with everything in between being either cut, or truncated into short musical montages. With so much being cut, the characters are left as hollow husks of their formerly depicted selves, and some scenes genuinely baffled me as to how they expected someone not familiar with the material to understand the character motivations therein. A lot of people I've noticed call this a musical, I'd have to disagree. With a musical it is expected that the musical scenes tell the story, explore characters and just fit into the picture. In this movie the musical scenes perform almost exclusively to skip the story. They're also not performed by the characters as is typical of a musical, rather they're just recap segments placed over shitty modern pop music. There is one true musical scene in the film, a scene where a character bursts into song to directly address other characters. Just this one though, ultimately just made me wonder, why? Had the movie told a smaller part of the story, or completely rewrote it to properly fit into a 2 hour run time, it probably could've been pretty good. But as it stands, it's no more than a recap. This is the equivalent of watching, for example One Piece, exclusively though the opening title sequences and episode previews. Miserable. A movie that well and truly should not have been made.

Having watched the original series, which I think hasn't aged particularly well and was definitely in need of a remake, so I was initially excited when MAPPA first announced they were going to remake it. Because this classic story in modern visuals would have been amazing, and it was indeed amazing to see it in good visuals. But I think that turning into a musical wasn't really a good choice, like, a lot of key moments of the story just went by during songs, which made this movie has a lot less of the impact which the original series had. Of course, this kind of thing was bound to happen when you're compressing a 40-episode series into a 2-hour film. (They even straight up cut some of my favorite scenes 😔) So, yeah. It wasn't that good of a remake and the best approach would've been a proper 2-cour anime remake with a pacing that respects both the original material and the attention span of modern viewers. This is a timeless story and it deserved more than just a flashy repackage, maybe in future? One can hope.

First, Hirano & Sawashiro hold this on their back. Second, this isn't a musical, is a movie WITH music I realize that many stop (today, 04.30.2025 the note is 6.5) musical films, but this one goes beyond, because it tells a story we have already learned, with a story that some do not know, like Oscar's life I confess that I started the movie thinking that it would be monotonous. But right in the first song, I realized the affection of the production in every detail: animation, script, lyrics About the movie. This movie portrays the story. But beyond that we can see life, decisions (or who chooses not making a decision), and twists. Maria Antonieta evolves faithful to the story (yes, I researched after seeing the movie, because I finished school for some time, and did not remember the facts). A child thrown in the middle of a political decision, she gets attention (from court, with gifts, and visits). And and a short time starts to act differently (yes, research it) Oscar is the center of everything. And it's a very dense character. Your actions (for those who, like me, did not read the anime or read the manga) not surprising. She is committed, Decided, strong. Change occurs around you, and it does not shake yourself, on the contrary, it always goes on. Interactions are also a strong point, in command of the troops or and conversations Yes, I tried to escape as much as to deliver details. Watch, you will like I was crying, in two scenes before the end

Who doesn't know about The Rose of Versaille? The art style and time period in which it was written turned me off from a modern standpoint, so I never pursued it until I saw it was a MAPPA studio movie. It takes a lot of time/energy to commit to a long, historical drama like The Rose of Versailles. I think making the story artistic and skimming over some of the story elements, while hitting the important beats, made it more accessible. If you're not new to shojo, then you're likely familiar with a lot of its tropes. I appreciated that the musical segments hinted at those trials and tribulations without requiring me to slog through them. It's easy to fill in the blanks and still feel the emotional struggles of the protagonists. It was very true to its shojo roots. Now, all that said, knowing what's coming in the story, I might be more likely to pick up the original manga/anime and enjoy it. Heck, this movie makes it easier to see what parts I might want to skip to get to other, more important character arcs. I definitely recommend it to someone who'd like an introduction to the Rose of Versailles, and as a visual feast and tribute to a longstanding, influential story.

Music - Good Story - everything happened quickly and easily, absolutely no story explanation, things just happened??? I fell asleep watching it, but every time I felt some enjoyment was when some of the songs came up. The art style was too weird for me, but it was still pretty, bright and colourful. I'm sorry if this offends some people but to have a female character called Oscar, (which I'm sorry if this is based on a real person) is weird for me because everytime I hear the name I just think of a dude when it's supposed to be this tall, beautiful and strong woman.

As someone who never read the original or watched the anime due to time constraints, this film did a great job at highlighting what a fantastic c**t Oscar is. The musical sequences felt like where a lot of the story got compacted. That said, it was still clear how Antoinette was treated by the other nobility, for example. I'm sure I missed lots of nuance and interpersonal drama but for what it is, I had a great time. If you're short on time but want to understand why Oscar in particular has become such a touch-stone character in media aimed at young women, you could do much worse than this adaptation.

The soundtrack and animation are amazing — visually and musically, the movie is a real treat. If you've never seen the original, this is a great introduction. Because of this movie, I ended up watching the original anime from the 70s. And while it’s true that the movie is different from the original, that doesn’t make it bad. In fact, the differences highlight how each version has its own strengths. It reminded me a lot of Sailor Moon Crystal versus the classic Sailor Moon — not better or worse, just different approaches. Even though I personally prefer the old series, I REALLY liked this movie! I think fans of the genre or newcomers will enjoy it too, especially if they’re open to different interpretations of a classic.

I’m genuinely upset at how much this film butchered the series; it completely rewrote major aspects of the characters, showcased the fallouts of many plot points but not the plot points themselves, turned it into a musical but in a cringe way and not an enjoyable way and was extremely disappointing. The pacing was also dreadful. I know it’s a lot to cram into a movie but if you’re going to do it don’t do it like THIS 😭 I cannot recommend it at all whether you’ve seen Rose of Versailles or not, but especially not if you haven’t seen the series and want to get into it as it’s a horrible attempt at telling it. The original series is far, far better.

It is dripping with atmosphere. It will make you imagine spending time in the lavish spaces of Versailles. You can't help but wish to wear their clothes and to eat what they eat. The characters feel like cardboard cutouts. They don't show any personality even when contextualized by their station in life. It feels like a third-person description of people interacting without any understanding of insecurity and the pressures of class. It is almost as if a child was describing their parents by only their job title and favorite foods. You could imagine spending 40 hours with these characters, knowing them no better. The movie wastes your time.

Disclaimer: Reviewing as someone who has never read the manga or heard of the story prior to seeing this on Netflix. Just by seeing the gorgeous cover and pretty animation style, I decided to give this a watch. The story remained interesting throughout, between the character interactions and also the timeskips entailing the growing disparity in France. This was somewhat similar to a musical except not quite, as the songs are separate monologues from the scenes are aren't actual lines the characters say to each other. Besides that, they are pretty good. It's like having a few OPs sprinkled throughout the movie, and they convey the character's feeling or internal thoughts after making a choice, I enjoyed them. With the movie being under 2 hours, there wasn't a lot of time or the opportunity to give the characters enough development to fully understand them. But all things considered, this being a 2-hour summary of the entire manga, I think a decent job was done. Yes, sometimes the cuts from one scene to the next were sudden and I was wondering how we got there, but I understood they were significant to the plot so they had to be included. As for the historical aspect of this, I was surprised how accurate the timeline and events were to actual history. The character/behavior portrayal of Marie Antoinette, Axel von Fersen, and King Louis XVI were also decently close to the actual historical figures. Of course, the animation and detail on this was really beautiful and it was very aesthetically pleasing. Another reviewer likened this movie to a soap opera, and I'd have to agree, it definitely has some of those elements. If you're looking for a film with historical, drama, romance, and music elements I think you'll enjoy watching this. It's not done perfectly, but it's certainly above average.

This remake is a lesson on why pretty visuals do NOT make up for terrible writing A movie rendition that strips away every emotion, nuance, complexity, character growth the original 1970s anime had, leaving nothing but a souless empty shell. Even the rich historical setting loses all it's meaning in what feels more like a badly put together recap than a proper movie adaptation, add to the already extreamly rushed pacing the random musical numbers that fit exactly zero stylistically interrupting the story every 5-10 minutes and you have the recipe for the most desperete milking of a series ever attemped

This movie is visually stunning and with incredible production value, but even the best crafted rifle will miss if you aim hastily. The animation is superb, the character design faithful to the manga, the background art absolutely gorgeous. Direction and photography are also noteworthy. In terms of music, the OST and the songs are beautiful, the main theme/song grew on me throughout the movie (more on that later). However. You cannot watch this film blind and expect to enjoy it. It feels like a rushed recap, with most of the story beats skipped or shown through a quick music montage. If you haven't watched the original or you don't know the manga, you won't understand why characters do what they do. It would have been better to just rewrite the plot to give the protagonists more room to breathe and show proper progression. As it stands, all of their growth happens "just because", without build-up and thus with unsatisfying payoffs. If they wanted to keep the original story they should have released at least 3 movies. And then we have the music. Don't get me wrong, it's well produced. But it doesn't really fit. I really missed the dramatic strings and harpsichord pieces of the original series. Pop music and Versailles don't go well together... not in this form, at least. The fact that they decided to overuse song montages didn't help either. Credit's due when it's due, the finale was better than the rest of the movie. The last 30 minutes still felt rushed, but a lot less than the first 90. If they managed to maintain the same pace throughout the whole thing it could have been a masterpiece... but as mentioned, it would have required a rewriting of the story, or 4 extra hours of runtime. FINAL THOUGHTS: Disappointing. It's a good looking but empty shell, with almost no soul. Still, my rating can't be lower than 6 because visuals are top notch. And the finale got me (T_T) despite all my critiques, but I'm not sure if it was because of the movie or I was just superimposing the original series on top of it. Recommended only if you already know the story... but even then, tone down your expectations. This gets nowhere close to the original.

This adaptation is making me cry more than Andre on screen. Rose of Versailles (2025) changes the original anime into a soap opera. Although the graphics are very nice the characters are bland versions of their original selves. The story mainly focuses on Oscar with is the reason why Marie Antoinette isn´t as well written as in the original 1979 adaptation. The story is very quick pace and misses multiple elements of what made the manga so great in the first place. When it comes to the characters only Oscar is the same way as in the original, Marie Antoinette is a selfish princess that wants love and her problems are only that she misses Fersen and wants to be loved. Andre is a cry-baby and Girodelle is a nice guy compared to his sexist persona in manga. The story is written is a very clean way. The social situation is only toughed upon and isn´t explored more. King Louis and Marie Antoinette lack depth and so does Fersen. To sum it up. Although the new adaptation is cute, I highly suggest reading the manga or watching the 1979 adaptation. Especially if you want a story forcusing on Marie Antoinette and the French revolution.

The Rose of Versailles has been one of the best anime/manga that may have existed and with the release of this movie by Netflix many were anxious but as soon as I finished watching it I was somewhat dissatisfied with the direction it had due to several problems that I will mention below (this review is spoiler-free in case you haven't seen anything about The Rose of Versailles yet, don't worry) First of all, if someone who hasn't seen the original anime or read the manga were to see this movie, they probably wouldn't understand much or think that the characters were very flat due to the cutting of scenes and important moments in the story but also eliminating characters or reducing their roles on screen just to summarize everything in less than 2 hours which resulted in the characters or even the protagonist Lady Oscar not even feeling real or complex, and it also took away drama and tense atmosphere from the story. Also, I didn't feel good about the choice of music, I don't mind that they turned it into a musical because this manga has the potential to be adapted as a stage play even as they have already done, but the J-pop songs felt very out of place knowing that it is set in 18th century France so in my personal opinion, I would have liked to see inclusion or participation of visual kei artists like Kamijo and his band Versailles (which is actually named after Riyoko Ikeda's work and has also covered the original opening) basically they had every opportunity to put music that would have suited the atmosphere better but they blew it. Finally, the artistic and visual side looks good, although it does not surpass the visuals of the manga and the original anime of the 70s, but overall it is well achieved, unlike the rest of the elements of the film. I repeat for the last time, the main problem is that they wanted to summarize the entire work leaving gaps and inconsistencies that feel confusing or problematic for the development of the story and characters even for someone who is familiar and knows the original plot. Definitely from my experience I don't recommend it even if you are a fan of The Rose of Versailles, some moments may seem a little emotional but they do not have the same essence as in the other adaptations or the manga due to this poor direction. Even so, I hope one day we have some decent work of The Rose of Versailles that satisfies us all and brings more people to know this incredible work made by Riyoko Ikeda.

The Rose of Versailles (2025): The Good, The Bad, and The Pop Songs Okay, let's start with the good. First of all, it's The Rose of Versailles, so no matter what it kicks ass. Secondly, the animation is absolutely gorgeous. It perfectly captures the beauty of the classic 1970s shoujo art with its meticulous details and sparkles, and I could hope for nothing less in a modern take on The Rose of Versailles. It also contains a few plot points from the original manga that the original TV series didn't adapt, so fans who haven't read the manga will see them, and it shows an appreciation for the source material. And...well, that's about it, sadly. Woof So, the bad. Let's get this out of the way: a ten volume manga, originally adapted into a 40 episode TV anime, will not adapt neatly into a two hour movie. From the project's inception, it was going to have to abridge the story, and I think anyone expecting otherwise is a fool. And I'm actually mostly fine with this. As I see it, it's a 50th anniversary celebration for people who were already fans of the series and thus would already know the entire plot, and *not* an attempt to bring the classic story in its full glory to new fans. I think this can be seen with details such as Rosalie making a cameo appearance rather than being cut entirely. And this is why I've given the movie a rather generous 6/10. The pretty severe abridgement of the story is a major downside, so I do have to bring down the movie's score, but I think if you reframe your mindset to view it as a a celebration rather than something meant to deliver you the full story, it works a lot better, especially considering you can tell the movie was made with a lot of love for the manga. And finally, the pop songs. The pop song are, in my opinion, the movie's biggest problem. I might have given it a seven without them, because at the end of the day I love The Rose of Versailles and I think the movie isn't bad as a 50th anniversary celebration. But...God, okay. Let me make this clear: I love musicals. Musicals are one of my favorite forms of art period. But this movie... First of all, the songs are sung in-character, but they're not actually sung by the characters on screen, and are rather overlaid over scenes of the characters doing whatever else. This movie has been compared to an AMV, and...yeah lol. It's an extremely weird and awkward choice for a musical. Secondly...listen, maybe they work much better in Japanese, but the lyrics are extremely awkward, forced, and corny. They're so on the nose and basically just say exactly what's happening. And most importantly: they're *pop* songs. In a story about the French revolution. And I'm not saying anachronistic soundtracks can't work. There are many examples of them working well in film (for example, Baz Luhrmann's filmography). However, when a work utilizes an anachronistic soundtrack, it usually leans into the dissonance created and purposefully juxtaposes the time periods as a stylistic choice. The Rose of Versailles...plays its setting completely straight. So...needless to say the songs do not work at all! The only song I kind of liked was the Masquerade song but that's just because it wasn't really a pop song and it was played at a time I could think of it as diagetic. I like this movie more than most Rose of Versailles fans. I think it's rather beautiful and was made with love as a celebration of the series reaching its 50th anniversary. But, well, all of those years of development hell clearly weren't kind to it.

On the surface The Rose of Versailles should be one of my favourite watches ever. Badass female lead, well written shoujo romance exploring classism, gender roles, and sexual liberation, Sawano OST, historical setting during one of my favourite periods and much more, but this 2025 film falls flat. It’s not a bad watch, but as a newcomer to the series who’s heard so many good things about it, this can’t be all this had to offer. It’s rushed, bounces from plot point to plot point, introduces characters and relationships and then fast forwards to later in the timeline… this was hard to pay attention to as a first time viewer. I can certainly see the potential here and I’m sure had this been a long running series like the original, it would’ve hit a lot harder. As it stands, though, this was pretty disappointing. The big elephant in the room coming into this remake was the musical aspect. It’s not like a traditional Disney musical, but the first hour or so is full of these mini musical numbers set to Yamamoto/Sawano OSTs which I didn’t mind too much because those are my goats, I love Sawano damn near more than anything, so I’ll never be upset with getting more tracks from him, but I feel like a few of them could’ve been replaced with actual character interactions/dialogue so we could get to know the cast better. Basically the story introduces characters and then 60 seconds later we see them in love with another character and it just feels like so much of the story is missing. There’s several big story beats that I’m sure had to have hit very hard in the original, that just do nothing or very little for me here. Like yea, this person dies, or this person is in love with this person, but I’ve barely had any time around them, why would I care? Even with those pacing flaws though, I did really enjoy some of the things they tried to get across here, particularly the exploration of the pressure to conform to societal standards. People take things for granted, but we unequivocally live in the best time in human history. People largely can marry who they want without fearing backlash for dating outside of their “class” seeing the characters in this story have to repress what they really want in life simply because of the class they were born to hurt a lot. It’s compounded by the bittersweet ending and it just really leaves you wondering “was it all worth it?” Was it really worth it to live your whole life in a box, not doing what you wanted just to please others and then things end up this way..? The other thing I liked is the focus on socio-economic issues. We only saw a little of it, but seeing the gradual discontent build among the French people as they got poorer and poorer and the bourgeoise continue to have opulent parties and profit off the backs of the working class.. hmm, sound familiar? It should. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I wish this would’ve got explored even more since that’s so relevant to modern times, but also the driving force of the French Revolution and many others across Europe during this time. It just feels weird they didn’t go with an entire remake series for this, especially given how big The Rose of Versailles was when it came out. This was next level famous in Japan and influenced an entire generation of women! Production values are really solid for the most part. Oscar and Marie’s character designs in particular are so gorgeous. The animation is fine, not a fan of the CGI during the performances but other than that, really good. Sawano and Yamamoto as usual delivered a masterclass that I’ll be listening to all weekend. Really took some of the big set pieces to the next level and even though the pacing was bad for them, I still cried just because of how good the music was. I’d expect nothing less from my goat. So, my final verdict? I don’t regret watching this because Sawano OST and MAPPA visuals, but I kinda wish I’d have read the manga or seen the original first. Now that I know how everything pans out, it won’t hit the same. I’ll still read at some point just to see all the arcs and scenes they left out, but this is essentially just a recap showing the highlights of the series. Certainly not the definitive way to consume it. Since this is my first time, I don’t have the sort of hate towards it that returning fans seem to, but even I could tell it’s missing a lot. Solid watch, could’ve been a LOT better. The Rose of Versailles(2025) Gets 7 out of 10.

After so many years, the queen of Shoujo has returned, does this movie live up to the hype?... well. The pacing was quite rushed in the beginning; key moments from the manga were either going by way too fast or were missing entirely. The final act was amazing, though; you could really sense the tension in that scene and the ending was sweet. I watched this dubbed as Rose of Versailles hadn't been given an English dub before. Caitlin Glass did a great performance as Oscar. Some of the soundtrack was good, but it was very Disney/Barbie direct-to-DVD film vibes, and it doesn't really fit the tone. The animation was cool and i liked how they incorporated different camera angles and manga panel effects, but the colours were quite oversaturated for my taste. The tone felt different from the manga. It was missing a lot of the more playful moments, aside from the scene with Andre's grandmother and Fersen, which made me laugh. One positive I'll give is they made Andrie more likeable, he seemed less possessive than in other adaptations, it admittedly made me want to root for them as a couple. Adapting Rose of Versailles meant they had to cut a lot out, which is fair enough, but some of the side characters that were cut were key aspects of the story, like Madame Du Barry, Rosalie, and Jeanne. Overall, the pretty animation did hold my attention, and the voice performances were good, Andre wasn't a prick either and some of the cut scenes needed to be removed anyway. As a standalone film, it's decent, as an adaptation though, it's mid, better than the live action 1979 film but the anime and manga are better in their scene composition, pacing and tone, if you're a shoujo fan who wants to recommend Rov to friends without the outdated elements, then this gets the general story across, otherwise, just read the manga or watch the anime and the takarazuka shows.

As a longtime fan of the original Versailles no Bara, I went into this movie with high hopes but honestly, it just didn’t deliver. Visually, it looks great, and I can see how someone new to the story might enjoy it on its own. But as someone who loved the old series for its emotional depth and strong characters, this version felt really off. The characters don’t have the same impact anymore - they seem watered down, like the essence of what made them memorable was lost. And then there are the musical numbers, which felt completely out of place and kind of took me out of the moment. It’s not that musicals are bad, but they just don’t fit here. Overall, this movie isn’t terrible, some folks might even like it, but it’s hard to enjoy when you’re constantly comparing it to something that meant so much more. For fans of the original, this version might be disappointing.

Totalmente deslumbrante, porém, com um gosto amargo de "falta algo" durante quase toda a obra. Analisando um pouco por cima (para não influenciar na minha avaliação), notei como há uma grande reclamação dos espectadores que viram Versailles no Bara original, e eu consigo entender, afinal, por mais da metade do filme, eu fiquei completamente confuso com a progressão do anime. Analisando friamente o que foi abordado como história, muito muito MUITO pobre, transformar um anime com cerca de 40 episódios em um filme/musical de 1 hora e 50 minutos não foi uma boa ideia, na minha opinião, a obra ficou, durante boa parte do tempo, um documentário romantizado da Revolução Francesa, do que uma história que se passa em tal evento. Mesmo assim, com o material que eles tinham em mãos, era impossível fazer algo ruim, nos raros momentos onde uma história à parte da revolução estava sendo construída, você conseguia enxergar profundidade, personagens realmente vivos e realmente bem escritos, Oscar François de Jarjayes, por exemplo, mesmo não conhecendo sobre sua história fora remake, eu consigo entender o porquê ela é tratada como uma das personagens femininas mais bem escritas dos animes. Em quesitos históricos, achei a história interessante, conheci personagens que existiram na vida real e que eu ainda não conhecia, como, por exemplo, o Conde Axel Von Fersen, e por mais que ela foi MUITO romantizada a fins de entretenimento, eu considero uma boa forma de conhecer um pouco mais da história. Agora sobre a animação, é tudo tão cheio de brilho que chega a doer os olhos, mas que, inegavelmente, é mais um trabalho ABSURDO do estúdio Mappa, eles conseguiram captar a essência do Versailles no Bara original e a trouxe para os moldes atuais, e sobre o trabalho sonoro, seria um ultraje um musical ter músicas ruins, e eles acertaram demais, e se comentarmos sobre dublagem, também está impecável, gostei de todas as vozes, acho que encaixaram muito bem. Rosas de Versalhes é uma obra com enorme potencial, mas que foi boicotada por uma direção ruim, talvez visando fazer um filme com o intuito de fazer o espectador ter vontade de consumir o material original, mas que na verdade, escondeu boa parte das qualidades que poderia entregar. nota: 7 **English translation so the review doesn't get deleted!!!** Absolutely dazzling, yet with a bitter feeling of “something missing” throughout almost the entire work. Looking at it briefly (so as not to overly influence my evaluation), I noticed how many viewers who watched the original The Rose of Versailles complain about this version, and I can understand why. For more than half of the film, I found myself completely confused about the progression of the story. Analyzing the narrative itself in a more objective way, I found it very, very, VERY poor. Turning an anime with around 40 episodes into a 1 hour and 50 minute movie/musical was not a good idea. In my opinion, for much of the time the work feels more like a romanticized documentary about the French Revolution rather than a story that simply takes place during that event. Even so, with the material they had in their hands, it was almost impossible to make something truly bad. In the rare moments when a story separate from the revolution was being developed, you could see depth, truly alive characters, and genuinely well-written personalities. Oscar François de Jarjayes, for example—even without knowing her story outside this remake—I can understand why she’s considered one of the best-written female characters in anime. In historical terms, I found the story interesting. I got to know characters who existed in real life and whom I didn’t previously know about, such as Axel von Fersen. And even though the story is VERY romanticized for entertainment purposes, I still think it’s a good way to learn a bit more about history. As for the animation, everything is so full of sparkle that it almost hurts your eyes—but undeniably, it’s another ABSURDLY good job from MAPPA. They managed to capture the essence of the original Versailles no Bara and bring it into a modern style. Regarding the music, it would be outrageous for a musical to have bad songs, and they absolutely nailed it. If we talk about the voice acting, it’s also impeccable—I liked all the voices, and I think they fit the characters very well. The Rose of Versailles is a work with enormous potential that was unfortunately held back by poor direction—perhaps aiming to create a film that would make viewers want to consume the original material, but which ended up hiding many of the qualities it could have delivered.

The manga awesome The anime awesome The movie was a let down. I get it fit in all the info and scenes in about 2 hours is insane to ask but why skip so much. The art was beautiful but because they made it a movie so many things were lost and taken out. Let's say you're a new viewer interested in watching it since it's a cult classic thinking it will suffice since people might like old animation (its not everyone's cup of tea i like it but i digress) This movie, it's with beautiful animation but then you don't actually get the full story and plot holes everywhere. People will think that The Rose of Versailles is bad and people over hype it....
