No max is NOT older than the king. He was switched with louis by broglie.

Does D'Eon have a different father from Max and Lia? They ever mention D'Eon in their scheme...

Oh my God, I haven't seen such a good anime in a long while. Granted, it's not the best, but it definitely has its great moments. Not so keen on the ending though, IMO, it's totally rushed and just sped through moments I thought would be worthwhile to spend at least a little time on.

On romance, one of my favorite aspects...

And Oh... Maximilien and Lia. That, right there. It was (sort of) everything I could've asked for in a 'romance', the intrigue, tragic consequences, and how, aside from Lia's bond with her brother, this is one of the strongest bonds she shared with him. How you know that they knew they were siblings and all, but you could tell it didn't sever their bond one bit, it sort of strengthens it albeit in a different way.

I'm a BL freak, but I'm just not seeing it between Max and D'eon or even Durand at all, lol, but maybe that's because it's strongly implied that Lia, Max and Durand's friendship were of a level different than the others; that they understand each other. Perhaps that's why Max was so insistent on having Durand in his party, because of that aspect, his equal aside from Lia. And D'Eon, it's pretty clear that he places strong emphasis on Lia rather than the man himself, as he constantly refers to him as 'the vessel'.

I'd love to see the Max/Lia moments in the later stages handled with a bit more creativity and care rather than speeding through them in generic story-telling form.

But I suppose that's not really the point of the series, though it contributes a lot to the story. Though it's a bit heartwrenching to see that in his final moments, you could see that as his role ended, in his last breaths, he still loved her, despite that they're half-siblings, guh, the angst. :'(

Anyone else just finish the ending to this series? It was great even though I didn't understand half the plot. I must be stupid or something. But it was excellent and I'm glad I collected it.

Spoiler for Final Episode:

I also just "finished" this series. When I say finished, I mean I finally completed my viewing of the final officially released DVD. Overall, it was really put together well (The DVDs) and I was impressed with the quality. As far as the story goes, I absolutely love the ending and wonder if there is anyone else besides myself that have practically memorized the final episode by heart in Japanese.

As for the above question

I guess we are the only two who have finished the ADV release lol. Yeah it was great and along with Ergo Proxy it was 1 of 2 that I collected throughout the whole year and was much better then the previous mentioned title. I'm glad you enjoyed it to though. I hope ADV still takes risk like this because I know the show was struggling in sales Hench the changing of the artwork on volume 4, but again it was unique and awesome animation. Here's hoping ADV doesn't lose hope.

I started watching this anime again on animax recently.(I remember I watched untill ep 9.)

Wonder if there is any Japanese fanart or doujin on this series.

kache · 2010-06-23, 12:10

Watched until the 4th episode, and it seems interesting.
Let's continue. Ah, the animation is amazing, and the fullhd resolution takes the best out of it.

Having seen Rose of Versailles makes me interested in this. Next best thing to the Napolean sequel I suppose.

That and 3 musketeers which I think only had 1 ep done.

Spoiler for Final Episode: I can't believe the King was involved I think I remember hearing about it some kind of history heading up to the story, but it was a great twist. If someone could explain why Queen Mary sided with Maximillion that'd be some help to understand the plot.

As for the above question Spoiler for Spoiler: I don't think Queen Mary actually sided with him. I'm sure she knew who he was ( the real king) but shared his motive by wanting to read the psalms. (I believe).
