| Fuck yeah! Gonna pre order that bad boy as soon as it goes up! I can't not have that masterpiece in my collection, it shall get a proud spot indeed. |
| Never heard of it. The art and age seem a bit too outdated for me but seeing the high ratings I may check it out. Congrats to the fans for this! |
 |
| That's great. |
 |
| DUDE THAT'S GREAT! |
 |
| Wow.. It took them, this long? But then, it makes me assured that the classics are not forgotten. |
| That's amazing. |
| Totally excited for this. I can't wait. |
| Wow I'm actually watching ROV at the moment and enjoying it too! So I'm happy it's getting licensed I guess. |
| WONDERFUL! I am totally buying this! Pre-order, even! Oh man, this is great. |
| Oh maaan, THAT'S GREAT! I recall watching this Anime when I was younger :') I thank my father for living in Japan and exposing me to Anime since a young age~ |

I weep for the future. Thankfully I have taste & class. Try going for seinen, shojo and josei. You'll thank me later. |
Alipio said: After checking what they have also - I agree 100% Oh? The same company who licensed Utena? The Rightstuf staff have fabulous taste! now I feel like rewatching it - it used to be in our TV as supposedly series for kids :3 |
| Now, if I was actually living in the US, I would probably be buying it right now, because it's Rose of Versailles. But I am not, so... |

Draconis didn't even say anything against it being old, just that it was old. Also assuming that someone likes a show because of their visuals only is just stupid. For all you know they weren't talking about the old artstyle, just the year it came out. -___- Oh yeah, fuck other peoples' tastes, they shouldn't like ecchi anime and should only watch the old classics and genre that I do, because it's so much better and my tastes are superior. Please, stop. |

| Hmm, I've seen 5 episodes. What should I do. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| *Reading it* Oh my god!!!!!! Yes finally the rose of versailles got rights thank you we are wait for what 33 years yeah english dub :-). And yes going buy it too this is awesome but will not be out 2013 I will wait. |
| Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. Though, it only took 3 decades for a licensing company to recognize its greatness. I'm definitely buying it. |
 |
| YEAAHHHH thats nice to know do you really post on a news topic about a 30 year old anime that the anime is old ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I think we know this, Draco |

It'll cost a lot, and there isn't much demand either And LOGH... 110 episodes: making script, hiring VA (if they would go into this area) - that would be madness and probably not even that profitable, compared to cost of making it. |
| Soo..exciting! |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I am truly happy that a masterpiece such as The Rose of Versailles is licensed at long last and will be released on DVD, I truly enjoyed watching the series and I came to love ROV. I'll definitely be getting this series on DVD when it comes out! Many thanks RightStuf/Nozomi for acquiring such a fantastic anime! ^___^ |
| HELL YEAH!! I'm so excited! |
| Pretty damn awesome. It's such a great show if you aren't too sensitive to effective melodrama and glitter. |
ProdiGene said: ... now, if only they'd do the same for LoGH ... You could watch that five-minute dubbed clip of eps. 51 & 52 five-hundred times and pretend they dubbed the entire series. |

| Wonderful news! Although, it's too bad about the limited edition dvd release. Maybe they'll print more if the demand is there.. Anyhow, this will be a perfect excuse for a rewatch of my favorite series, and a good opportunity to introduce the show to some people. |

And yes going buy it too this is awesome but will not be out 2013 I will wait. Rightstuf doesn't dub any of their series so it will be subbed only. It's not never, though it is rare. They have titles like Kare Kano, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Boogiepop Phantom, Shingu, etc. which feature dubs. So, most likely it won't get a dub, but it's not impossible. EDIT: Eh, sorry, strike that. I just found this line in their press release. "It is an honor and privilege to bring this beloved series to DVD, via Nozomi Entertainment, and work with TMS and Viki to introduce our English-subtitled translation of the anime inspired by Ms. Ikeda’s masterwork to North American fans. ” |
