Featured review
Poetry under the disguise of a shojo anime
With clear-as-day feminist undertones and especially in regards to the character of Marie Antoniette, who is portrayed as the most dignified person in the entire show even with the dated, debunked fake attribution of "eat the cakes!" at the end of the series. Yes, she spends a lot of money (mostly to the benefit of some friend) but she also fights the patriarcal impositions put on her by the Versailles court as well corruption and prostitutes/power-hungry women alike while making all the efforts to help people she cares for while feeling completely alone and without the possibility of a true love except for the one felt for an outsider, in Charulata and a Wife Confesses' fashion. She's also the only one who shows intelligence and will to not shed useless blood amongst hordes of men prone to even kill children for their own gain, even when she gathers armies to fight back the insurgent third state under the convinction there is alternative to the royal power. Excellent animation, excellent voice acting and music (the original japanese ones in both cases), amazing animated intro and outros that directly quote another anime masterpiece (Kanashimi No Belladonna, in case you're wondering) , gripping and interesting plotlines, this series has all the marks of an anime classic provided you experience it in its original japanese form, not in any localized or censored version. Highly recommended.
