WHEN FANDOMS COLLIDE
Aug. 22nd, 2007 08:22 pmConsidering this is Japan, I shouldn't be surprised. But I was so surprised I nearly fell of my seat in the lodge of the resort I'm currently at with my family, then proceeded to frighten other patrons by cartwheeling with GLEE!
"The Rose of Versailles (ベルサイユのばら, 베르사유의장미?, Berusaiyu no Bara), also known as Lady Oscar, by Riyoko Ikeda, is one of the best-known titles in shōjo manga, which has been adapted into an anime television series, produced by TMS and broadcast by the anime television network Animax and Nippon Television.
The Rose of Versailles focuses on Oscar François de Jarjayes, a girl raised as a man to become her father's successor. Oscar accepts the destiny that her father decided for her, but when she realises that her true love was André Grandier, her childhood friend, she decides to live as a woman.
There are also some shoujo-ai elements embodied in the relationship between Oscar and her protégée Rosalie Lamorliêre, the secret daughter of the scheming Madame de Polignac, whose admiration for Oscar may be interpreted as either idol worship or romantic love coming from her possible bisexuality.
Jun Matsumoto will be playing Andre Grandier and Satoshi Ohno will be playing Axel von Fersen."
I SERIOUSLY NEED TO GO TO JAPAN AND WATCH THIS. *_*
