The Rose of Versailles is known as Lady Oscar and aired on RTL2 starting in 1995. The anime series was part of many fans’ childhood. Therefore, many will be pleased to know that a film based on the anime is in the works. Now, there is a first trailer that enchants in the first few minutes.
What is The Rose of Versailles about? The manga for The Rose of Versailles is over 50 years old. The story takes place in France, shortly before the French Revolution.
- It is a fictional story, but the anime includes historically accurate information and personalities.
- The main character is Oscar, the sixth daughter of a general. He has always wished for a son, which is why he raises Oscar like a boy.
- Oscar becomes increasingly skilled in fencing over time. She decides to join the royal castle guard and become the protector of Marie Antoinette, the future queen of France.
- Love and the French Revolution put obstacles in Oscar’s way. The storming of the Bastille leads to a showdown.
The anime consists of a total of 40 episodes. Now, the animation studio MAPPA, which is also responsible for Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen, wants to fit all episodes into one film.
When will the film be released? The film for The Rose of Versailles is set to hit Japanese theaters in early 2025. Whether the film will also come to Europe remains to be seen.
In an initial trailer, you can see how good the new animation style of the anime film is:
The Trailer for Lady Oscar Proves That Every Anime Fan Must See the Film
What does the trailer look like? The trailer suggests that the entire series will be represented in the film. We see Lady Oscar in her youth, but also in her 30s.
The anime film finally gives Lady Oscar the look she should have received over 40 years ago. Many surfaces gleam, and the paintings on the carriage look simply stunning. The vibrant colors and many details contribute to this.
The character designs are phenomenal as well. Lady Oscar and Marie Antoinette shine against each other. Their sparkle in the eyes gives them more elegance than in the original. So we can look forward to a hopefully successful remake that presents the older anime in a lovely way.
There is also another RTL2 anime that is getting a remake. The over 1,000 episodes of One Piece are set to air soon in a compact format on Netflix. This may make it easier for newcomers to get into the anime: One Piece has an insane number of episodes, soon you can get into it more easily: Netflix is funding a new adaptation
