What do you think of historical anime?

I like it. Some of my favorite settings is when they go full ancient Greece or Roman.

I really like it except for the kind of "generic medieval" or "generic ye olde china" setting (Fushigi Yuugi excepted). The past in general was a more interesting time than the current era where we live in such comfort. Especially when it draws from real history, like Oooku, then it doubles as a learning experience.

Vagabond, Emma, Otoyomegatari, Oooku and Jin are my favorites. Of these, only Emma has an anime. Jin has a very good drama though, recommended.

Reading on mangaupdates that sounds basically the same as some shoujo manga which I have forgotten, but gernderbent.
Wish I could remember the title.

>>155664355

Having the same idea of a focus on the inner chambers or harem scenario, or the same idea as in a plague which kills off most of one gender?

I know some shoujo which focus on historical harem scenario but I don't think I've ever seen one where the female gender has been plagued.

I started watching The Mysterious Cities of Gold, which apparently is an anime, I thought it was French with Japanese outsourcing, oh well. It could be interesting I guess, pretty good for the first two episodes at least.
Sucks that it aired in the 80s because I've had avoiding 80s TV anime as a thing, I thought it was French so I was safe.

Also started Rose of Versailles, seen 10 episodes of it and it's pretty good, but a little bit too scary so haven't seen anything in a long time, but been thinking about finishing it lately.

How can anyone unironically support Monarchism when it's a system that allowed a girl as unqualified as her to sit on the throne?

The impending war with Austria notwithstanding, Oscar was far more worthy of being queen than Marie ever was.

If you don't mind a bit of working occultism in your historical stuff, then it's a decent enough Musketeer-style romp through the Secret Illuminated History of 18th Century Europe (though mainly France).

Which version of Rose of Versailles do you guys prefer the most? The anime or the manga?

I'm a little torn, because they both do things that I like and don't like. For one, Alain is a great character in the anime, but in the manga, he spends most of it being a pile of shit.

The dresses are prettier in the manga though.

>>155677859
If I was a woman, I'd still be attracted to Oscar.

>>155678339
Was that whole Ferson/Marie stuff actually legit? Did it happen IRL?

>>155678625
Allegedly, their relationship was that intense. But they were friends, and people were upset that she showed favortism towards him in the court.

He did try to help her escape France though. And after all of that failed, he went back to Sweden all bitter and shit, and eventually ended up getting lynched in Stockholm.

>>155678625
It might or might not have.

>>155668864
That's the horribly simplified story. The inability of the French economy resulted in the storming of the Bastille, which didn't harm the monarchy at all because it was just that damn popular (in part due to their intervention in that same Revolutionary War, compenent monarchs would've been able to spin this in their favor). The problem was that from that point onward, the monarchy not only actively sabotaged the kingdom (they veto'd both the proposals to create a national guard in response to the Duke of Brunswick's threat of invasion and various reforms to the financial system that would actually help France recover from the aforementioned near-bankrupcy) but they actively cooperated with the Austrians in preparation of an invasion of France. That's what ended them under the guillotine, not a bunch of starving peasants.

Had Louis XVI not been a total retard, the storming of the Bastille would've merely secured his position and eliminated the nobles that limited his power. It could've been two birds with one stone, but he instead dropped that stone on his own head.

The anime is definitely better.

Oscar's story is 10x more interesting than Antoinette's, so it's good that she gets more focus there. Also, I didn't like how Rosalie got shafted in the manga. Rosalie's arc is one of the highlights of the series IMO, so I'm glad it got more focus in the anime.

On a side note, I love the bonus chapter that Ikeda wrote for the manga where they just go for full on Gothic horror. It manages to be funny and a brutal bloodbath at the same time.

Actually, she might've been based on a real woman- Julie d'Aubigny, a woman who tended to dress in men's clothing and was renowned for her skill with a sword. She was also a singer and actress, and seduced several noblewomen, all before dying relatively young from tuberculosis.

She was about 75 years or so before the Revolution, though.

>>155658197
It doesn't exist.
There are some exeptions, like Bakumatsu no Spasibo.
Or stories based on real life events, like Dougram taking some episodes of Cuban Revolution.
