Le Chevalier d'Eon
| I can't believe no one is watching this...or wants to talk about it! I just found it last week and now I'm hooked. Faces and movement can be a little awkward at times (it weirds me out that they don't have noses from most angles...and whoever animates it has no idea how horses move), but overall I'm blown away by the animation quality. Someone commented on their blog that all the characters were ugly (and by big-eyed anime standards I guess they are)...but I think everyone is, well, pretty. Even (especially?) the men. Eh...it's France in the 1700s, I guess everybody was pretty back then. :) It's semi-historical, which I love - the first non-Japanese/samurai historical anime I've watched. Le Chevalier D'Eon was a real person who, for the second half of his life, claimed to be and lived as a woman. And for intrigue and suspense, you just can't beat the 18th century royal court. Someone else has to be watching it! And if you're not, you should be. |

| I have the episodes, just haven't gotten around to watching it (which would be awhile. I have the episodes to like 10000 series, all of which I have to find time to get to. You can say it's like on my plan to watch). I like these semi-histroical shows. The first one I saw was Rose of Versailles though (it's an extremely old anime but highly recommended). |
| It's on my plan to watch... eventually... I have 48 episodes of Kenshin, 50 episodes of Monster, 22 episodes of Samurai Champloo, and 17 episodes of Fate/Stay Night I have to finish. Not to mention, catching up on Bleach and One Piece (eventually... although I'm considering dropping One Piece). Sigh... so much anime... so little time |
| Amen to that! I should really just drop out of school and devote myself, full-time. :) |

 |
| I'm watching it right now and I LOVE it! It's my fvorite right now and so I gave it a 10 even though I've seen only 4 eps! Anyways, I love the period it takes place in and the costumes! Such pretty dresses! The music is pretty and I love the animation. Makes me want to take a train ride to my hometown of Chicago and go to the Art Museum(for the 50 millionth time). |
 |
| Looks interesting :) I'll download it right away ;) |
| I'm on episode 13 and yea certainly this anime is great. ADV had licensed it and i decided to Buy the Dub instead of continuing it through Fansubs since the Dub sounds better than the original. |
  |
| Haha...I bought the dub and I'm still watching the fansubs. I want to know what happens, dammit! |
|
| Just thought I'd bump this, mostly because I'm a big fan. The last few episodes I've seen (19-20) were great... very emotional and all. In any case, I love the mix of history and magic/monsters, the music... this is definiely one of the better shows I've watched in recent months. I'm downloading ep. 21 right now - definitely excited about that one. |
 |
| Are 19-21 subbed? Or do you watch it raw? |
|
| I watch it, and love it. I'm up to about ep 20 right now. I love how it puts a fun twist on history. |
hounddog said: Are 19-21 subbed? Or do you watch it raw? 19-21 are subbed. 19 (Shisen-Subs & AnimeYuki). 20-21 (Shisen-Subs). |
| . |
| Oh YES> Thanks!! |
|
| I've been watching Shinsen-Subs the whole way through - 21 was released a few hours ago, and 19-20 came out a week or so ago |
|
| I started watching Le Chevalier D'Eon today! I like series with suspense and this one started with that! HA! |
| Finally sort of catching up... Episode 19 Episode 20 Episode 21 |
|
| Kinda doubtful at this point. |
|
| Yeah, I think you're right. Poor kid. |
|
| yeah, for some reason i forsee about 90% of the main characters being dead by the end of the show. just got a few eps left to watch. >_> |
| Well there are some that they can't kill off if they want to remain historically accurate. They've already fudged some dates, but for the most part it looks like they want to remain mostly on track. |
|
| Help! I can't find ep 22! :( |
|
| I found the torrents for 22-24 on AnimeYuki.org. Those are awesome episodes, by the way. |
|
| Can't do torrents. :/ CRAP! I found 23 and 24 but not 22. WTF?! |
|
| That was a great ending - not AT ALL what I was expecting. |
|
|
| Wow.. this thread is full of dangerous spoilers it seems :P Anyway, gotta thank Krelian for recommending me this. I just finished episode 2 a while ago and I'm hooked! Historical Fiction with Fantasy elements? Count me in ^^ hounddog said: Yeah, movement was a bit awkward in some scenes. But the sword duels are quite well performed in contrast to that. And whoever said the animation is ugly is in need of a pair of glasses.Faces and movement can be a little awkward at times (it weirds me out that they don't have noses from most angles...and whoever animates it has no idea how horses move), but overall I'm blown away by the animation quality.

Eh...it's France in the 1700s, I guess everybody was pretty back then. :) The only real problem is that I got the 1080p release and my laptop doesn't handle it so well it seems. The video sometimes loses sync, and I need to pause it and re-play D: |
     |
| They're showing it at the anime club here but I missed the first two episodes because I had something else I had to do and I fell asleep through the second two... (Probably because I hadn't slept in about 36 hours...) |
| hehe, I reckon that you must have been pretty tired :P. I've just seen episode 3 and it's not something someone would sleep through. The show is making a pretty good impression on me so far. |
|
| i cant wait to watch this, it is having its first episode shown on "adult swim" tomorrow night. sure it is the eng dub but i still cant wait to watch it. |

"It was all sound and fury signifying nothing, Now hurry up we need to find another toilet" -The Monarch (Venture Bro's on [Adult Swim]) |
| Wait, what? Where did you hear that? |
|
| Adult Swim has different programming in different nations. Too bad North America won't show Chevalier. |
     |
| Aw man. :( Heartbreak. |
|
| More people need to see this series, seriously. Then again, i think that it's quite a niche title, so that probably explains why it's underappreciated. |
 |
| I love it so far <3 |
