Earlier this year, the release of the 2025 "The Rose of Versailles" adaptation hit theater screens in Japan after several years of production.
On April 30, the film was distributed globally by Netflix, replete with dubs in multiple languages. In this thread we will discuss this release, our views on the work, and any other relevant applicable commentary.

>As for your summation, yes. You are correct. Unlike in fiction, there is no need to contrive such controversies because the events in the work are based on the actual history of the French courts, even if dramatized. The series does a phenomenal job at portraying these controversies interestingly while also making Oscar a meaningful observer and, at times, participant.
My point was not about the show being contrived or fictional... I was comparing RoV's pacing and drama to LOGH which drags and doesn't capitalize on its potential, especially when we're talking about fiction where there's no limit to what you can do (it's a piece of shit and I don't care what anyone says otherwise). Yet in RoV it feels like something important is happening in every single episode as in it does not like to drag on filler. Even if some events might be made up that’s not a bad thing at all -> If I wanted to watch a documentary I'd do that instead. Because with this medium I'd rather watch something like Amadeus where the history's exaggerated because it becomes a performance... same way Mozart composed to stir emotions, hold attention, and leave impact not to follow rules or chase accuracy.
I am 19 episodes in and it's a kind of emotional rollercoaster which I thought would maybe stagnate at some point but it's the complete opposite. Every episode just keeps getting better and I want to watch more and more. Every episode tries to progress the story forward and forward there's no time to waste and a lot of things to be said and shown like watching a never ending movie. A commonly overused phrase but I would say this anime feels like it truly was ahead of its time, especially in how Oscar is portrayed as a woman raised as a man, commanding respect and romantic admiration from both genders. It's the kind of character you sometimes see in anime that came after it, which probably drew inspiration from this one originally(?)
Also, I know it's historical, but I really don't like how the narrator sometimes just spoils things and keeps reminding you of what's going to happen in the future, like Madame de Polignac influencing all decisions of Marie Antoinette for the next 10 years as though she was ruling from the shadows, and you're told this just as you're being introduced to her.
I have decided to watch the film again in English language, curious of the voice cast performance in my native language. I find it more palatable this time, though I wonder if it is because i have already seen it that I cannot be disappointed.
So far I am not displeased. The performances are not bad at all. Some feel quite good, others feel acceptable. Oscar's voice sounds a bit too high pitched to me, but the actual acting feels right. I much prefer that to the inverse.
The actual "musical" part of it is more tolerable in English. I find Fersen sounds much better when not singing, because his singing voice is dramatically different when singing.
The extras do not sound great.
I believe for the purposes of a formal dub of this work, it would be better to have English accents because of their analogous place during the French Revolution. There is a certain air that you hear in works that reflect the American Revolutionary era of speech. I suppose by that I mean Shakespearean flavor English, at least in the timbre and tone of accent work.

I remember routinely feeling a trepidation over the series coming to an end. The first half is arguably stronger with both intrigue and pacing being more well structured. The final episode feels almost unreal in a way that is comparable to the budgetary issues from Evangelion's final episode.
I hope to hear your thoughts once it's all over.

That entire sequence was harrowing. What a great show.

Since we now have a webm feature implemented here is a thread for random webms which is basically just a copy of the Youtube Hidden Gems thread >>305 but for webms. Please provide additional context for the webms that you are posting.
I remember finding this translated video from a Japanese show posted on a blogspot website on which I happen to have this downloaded. As I'm not that interested in making a thread for Japanese shows for now I'm posting it in this thread since it has been just sitting on my drive for some time and god damn who knows how many times I've rewatched it now and I want to finally share it with someone.
This particular episode is called "Foreigners' Opinions Of Japanese People" from "Arita and Matsuko and Men and Women" featuring Matsuko Deluxe which is the fat guy crossdressing and Teppei Arita, the guy standing besides him, both comedians and acting emcees for this show. The show as far as I know has since been cancelled. I think my favorite parts of this entire thing is Martin, the watermelon addict, asking if he's a monster or something with that face, and the italian guy called Carlo with his perverted comments.51 replies (and 60 file replies) omitted.

The thing is i remember using the hell out of skype so hearing this makes my ears perk up.
nico nico douga MADs based around Puella Magi Madoka Magica with a focus on Mami Tomoe and her famous lines:
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/もう何も恐くない
(Video 1) Episode 3, 18:41 -> I'm not scared of anything anymore.
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Madoka_Magica_Episode_3:_I%27m_Not_Afraid_of_Anything_Anymore
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/死ぬしかないじゃないシリーズ
(Video 2) Episode 10, 14:22 -> If the Soul Gems give birth to witches... then we have no choice but to die!
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Madoka_Magica_Episode_10:_I_Won%27t_Rely_On_Anyone_Anymore#Timeline_3
Both of these were extensively parodied:
The 1st one because of how Mami's emotional relief is surrounded by red flags moments before that foreshadow her death where the MADs usually try to play around to the buildup of that scene.
The 2nd one because of how each character in the scene kind of plays a unique and essential role in the videos: Mami being the emotional instigator that starts the video with her sudden breakdown. Kyoko being shot and killed right at the start, and in some videos this happens multiple times with her dying helplessly over and over. Homura is usually restrained for the entire time, but plays a role as a kind of chorus or interjection character. Madoka on the other hand waiting behind Mami for the right moment to deliver the finishing shot, acting as the executioner.
Also, another line you're going to frequently hear is Mami's "Tiro Finale" which means "Final Shot" in Italian, and due to her being the only character in the anime to name her special move people began calling her 中二病 -> Chuunibyou -> middle-school second-year syndrome.

There's also this version of the third video that has a lewd thumbnail (thumbnail fried rice -> masturbation thumbnail) to catch unsuspecting viewers with the title:

I'm pretty sure Gosaku peeking through the door at the end is a representation of the viewer being caught out by Aniki.

I love how its implying that Mami killed all of them just because she couldn't hold a pose out of embarrassment.

Ah cool, the ones that sang that Christmas Snoopy/Red Baron song. Yeah, I was definitely aiming for that post-Beatles effect, like '96 Tears' or 'Year 2525'.

My Life as a NEET.
Being a NEET is mid. It's alright for me being a NEET. How did I become a NEET in the first place? I'm glad you asked, I decided to be in Hikikomori mode because I was struggling with societal pressures and family dynamics. I express a deep hatred, fear and distrust against society (Family, friends, etc), law and the government. That's why I prefer initiating a severe social withdrawal. I'm much of a doomer/Hikikomori/NEET kind of individual.

When I first heard this years ago, I thought he was just babbling nonsense. Yet it stuck with me and over time I came to understand just how entitled the boomer generation actually is so it probably isn't too far from the truth. NEET, do you think your parents might have a life insurance policy on you and are just waiting for you to croak?━━━＼(＾o＾)／━━━
>>3558
i hate his tone, although in a sense i understand what he is saying. (he's still a bitch though) instead of having a life insurance policy its medical insurance and i'm told its expensive as fuck and if the job i am training for doesn't work out then i'll have to work a retail job or go homeless
