| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yep, depressing to the last. It was a pretty cool show though, and I guess I only wish that it could have ended at least a bit happier. But hey, c'est la vie! |
 |
| Wow, this was an amazing and tragic ending to one of the best series I've seen in a while. I still feel so sorry for Anna. |
| what an ending... |
| they didn't have to kill Anna too, she was like one person not involved in anything T_T one of the most depressing anime i've ever seen in my life ;_; |
| This is definitely one of the greatest anime I've ever seen! But... I don't understand why D'eon live himself as woman??? In the real history he lived as woman in Louis XVI period.... (because king order him to do...) But... I expect ending could be different, anyway... the ending is really sad..... Like everybody said poor Robin and D'eon... But... Is definitely one of the greatest anime! |
 |
| The ending was super confusing, and not in a good way that makes me want to watch the series over again right away. But maybe I'm just slow. ^^; |
| great ending to a fantastic show. |
 |
| Great show, but what a weird and hard to digest ending. |
 |
DonKangolJones said: Great show, but what a weird and hard to digest ending. agreed.... excellent show. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 10/10 is because of all the confusing elements and of the unexplained motives of many of the characters (Some of the main characters actions were unbelievable). Excellent show none the less...I enjoyed the historical aspects, lush visuals, and great story. Why did all my fave characters have to die?!?! |
  |
| Holy crap, that was just tragic. One character after the other just gets killed and each time it hurt me. I remembered D'eon saying how Anna didn't live long in earlier episodes, but I didn't think she was killed off like that. Just....D= I have to say though that the scene where D'eon kissed Anna was done beautifully. In any case, this was a good conclusion to a good show. I really did adore some of the characters, especially Durand. Sadly, they all ended up dead. _O_ However, I really didn't expect or like, Teillagory's betrayal and Robin's change of sides, but that's just me. Also, I can't believe D'eon didn't have any other friend or family, aside from Queen Marie, with him after going through a crazy ordeal like that. It's also understandable that he dressed up as a women since then. Again, why Anna?! Damn, I am so emotional and jumbled up right now thinking about all this. _O_ |
 |
| I finished watching this Anime a while ago.. I lived abroad for 2 years and Le Chevalier D'eon was always showing there (Animaxx-Asia^^).. but I never understood the story.. (that's why I decided to not list it in my anime-list) you really need to see every episode to understand everything.. might rewatch it again since I did kind of like it.. but it's really very confusing I have to admitt @.@ .. |
| What a sad ending. I nearly cried. And Robin? why do he have to change sides? Why do they have to kill Anna? I kinda felt sorry for De'on. Everyone gets killed. Yet it was a brilliant anime. But the anime was confusing but still I rated 10/10 because I really love this anime. And yeah, the kiss between De'on and Anna was beautiful. This anime is one of the best anime I watched. |
| So Robin became Robespierre...wow. I knew something like that had to happen because there was no way that that Robespierre was the "real" one. Kind of a depressing ending, but a very good anime overall. I give it a 9/10. |
 |
| Gave it a 9/10. Some really deep shit. And tragically romantic as all hell. When the Louis XV killed Anne i actually choked up a bit. Production IG always comes with it. |
| Very depressing indeed,but i can't realy imagine it any other way...guess it just had to be that way.And tragic love stories are always more touching,imo.This one for instance was. I realy liked the moments when they recited psalms,it was very cool. And the ending was well done and fitting the show.8/10 from me. |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Tragic ending as expected...guess they had to follow the "real story of D'Eon" a bit after all...since he was banished from France and lived rest of his/her life in England...still everything in this episode happened too fast and tad bit confusing. Though i wish they wouldn't have killed almost everyone in the show like that :'( Especially Anna, i was like WTF NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo, i nearly cried...i expected Robin to save her oh well. Robin changing his name was unexpected too. Overall Production I.G did a great job...a great anime i give it 8/10, i really wanted to give it 9/10 but it had a little too many flaws...but definitely a underrated show. |
| Quite the amazing end to an epic anime. The plot twists were great and for the most part the characters were very believable. I didn't like Robin in the end, but I can understand and expected why he took on the role in the revolution. I guess I wanted the 4 knights to be buddy-buddy even though Telliagory broke that a while ago. |

| I think they needed to spend more time on the end of the story. As told in the anime, it made everything that happened seem pointless. 23 episodes of action, intrigue and adventure just kind of fell apart at the end. |
 There are two types of anime - almost as good as Elfen Lied, and not as good as Elfen Lied. |
DeathReaper said: This is exactly how I feel. I really enjoyed the series and, from the beginning, didn't want to stop watching, but there are parts that bother me. a great anime i give it 8/10, i really wanted to give it 9/10 but it had a little too many flaws Also the English dub is awesome. I don't even want to try the Japanese version. |

| Is it just me or does it seem like Broglie could be seen as the biggest bad guy in the show and Maximillian is a victim trying to regain what was wrongfully taken from him as he is hunted down by the person who took the place of his father and ancestors on the throne. |
| To sum it up: The King killed Lia and many others, in order to hide the fact that Maximilien should have been the real king. Also Max and Lia are siblings (awkward incest moment) and are of royal blood. Overall this anime had great potential but ended as something mediocre. The historical and political part is completely wrong… But what really made me angry are the plot holes, the slow (boring) pacing and the fact that people are behaving randomly and out of character all the time. 6/10 |
| Interesting anime. The anime's plot was quite confusing at 1st but I grasped it eventually. The history part was clear to me. I know all the characters on a historical basis and the events. Which concludes me that it was Robin (New Maximillien) that was guillotined at the end right? also, poor Anna! and I pity D'eon so much. All was taken away from him. It was weird he lived his life as a woman though.>.> I guess one of my favorites is still alive aside from the main. Read> Queen Mary :) |
     thx 2 Rinjii 4 d sigy^^ |
| First episodes were a bit of meh, at first I though it was kinda mediocre, but after this ending and the eps that preceded it, it's quite the opposite. Aside from all the tragic deaths (Anna and the queen D: ), I though the way D'Eon endeed was pretty depresing too... disguised as a woman and alone, still loving Anna... DeathReaper said: a great anime i give it 8/10, i really wanted to give it 9/10 but it had a little too many flaws Yeah, and specially the history ones... I know it's an anime but, just no. Plus, the.ED.simply.beautiful♥. |
| 9/10 The art and music was great, and I really enjoyed the historical parallels too. I only really had a problem with the ending (it was summed up too quickly) and I was left a little confused with what actually happened from all of the summarizing. Good anime though. Fun one. |
 |
| So glad I didnt drop it at the first eps..... a well-deserved 8/10 |

 |
| 5/5 What a great series finale, really addictive and melancholy, this is that it is a final. Really beautiful designs and animations. The narrative was interesting this time, I was involved 100%. The characters were interesting and I liked them all. My vote goes from 7/10 to 8/10! |
 |
| Oh man this show was pure greatness. And that ending was awesome and sad at the same time, poor Robin. Sadly they don't make em like this anymore. :( 10/10, insta fav. |
 |
| 10/10, what a finale. And to think that this anime actually followed real history. Makes me shiver. What a beautiful series. |
 |
| Very solid ending if you ask me! Pretty decent and action filled and well that sure made it quite interesting! So all in all a quite good anime if you ask me. |
 |
| Goodness I had a mouthful to say but this ending has left me speechless. Like what..why...what was the point? I was not expecting a (nearly) full cast kill off. No one got a happy ending. Neither revolution nor His Majesty brought about a hopeful end result. All of these characters died for ideals that bore no fruit towards a brighter tomorrow. The one that got me the most was Robin. He was naive and inexperienced. Hopeful and ambitious. He devoted his everything to his comrades and the queen, only to have his faith in knighthood, the king, and France torn asunder when all of this was lost. My heart sank when Robin changed his name to Maximilien. It sank even deeper when D'Eon found the pocket watch covered in blood and the glimmer of the guillotine under the clear blue sky. And then there's D'Eon. His survival is possibly the most tragic because despite putting Lia's soul to rest, he had lost his sense of identity. Seeing him at old age in a dress was very unsettling. The scene ends with words inscribed into a stone "France parole eternelle." From what I looked up (could be wrong), it would roughly translate to "France word eternal." Based on how important words were throughout the series, it feels like this is supposed to represent D'Eon's (and Lia's) unwavering loyalty to France. This can also be seen when they refuse to kill Louis XV, as allowing him to live showed loyalty to France as well as nqm - retribution for his wrongdoings. To boil all of it down - each character had an ideology larger than life to follow which resulted in each of them being forced to walk down different paths despite the tragedy it brought. Tragic as it was, it was brilliant nonetheless. One of the first things I noticed when I started Le Chevalier is that the team behind it understood the culture and time period. I've briefly studied these time periods and how the people behaved. The few mannerisms I could follow were spot on along with the formal language and clever choice of words. And that's hella impressive when subtitles are able to convey those formalities and subtle references. The whole idea of the Psalms having power was fascinating as well. I'd guess to someone not so well versed in the Bible it would have seemed like random chanting but every psalm that was used had a purpose in the context of what was going on. Overall I found myself completely immersed into the unraveling mystery behind the Psalms and France. Considering how things were going for 20 episodes I was not expecting the tone to become so morbid. The final 2 episodes reminded me of Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal. Most particularly Robin's choices. 9/10, blessed is my score for this show. |

| They just killed and backstabbed everyone, lol. On a more serious note: The final few episodes have been pretty weird. I liked how they handled some scenes and parts of the solution but also though that a good chunk of the solution was handled pretty poorly. For example, I didn't like how they used the flashbacks of Lia inside D'Eon to show a lot of what has happened. It takes away from the whole journey. I also didn't like how everyone of the 4 backstabbed their friends sooner or later. Every character seemed to have their own selfish ideas what would be best for france and surely france stood above everything else for them. The end also felt rushed at times. While I thought the pacing of the whole story was done very very well it jumped a bit too much towards the end. The drama felt a bit forced at times. They went for the full tragedy ending, which is fine, but with the pacing it felt like they just tried to pour as much drama in as possible. It's pitiful that such a great series got such a weak ending, really. A 3-cour might have been a better idea for this for better character development and solution/content of the psalms. All in all I still consider this a very good show. It just saddens me that it easily could have been even better. |

| Ending feels like it is supposed to be this epic grand finale or something, I like the feel of it, but throughout the series, there were so many confusing/vague moments that just left me feeling confused. I feel like this is one of the historical series where you gain more out of it if you actually know something about the actual history. The plot with the cult/revolutionary was meh to be honest, it's like they showed them in one episode, gave them 3 episodes to do something, then off-ed them in 2 minutes, it felt half-assed. The ending also made me feel that this would have been a much epic/tragic tale had the use of supernatural been removed, but that wasn't possible. The last few episodes were definitely exciting, but the rest of the series felt kinda boring to me. Also, what in the world happened to Robin, that change in him was not natural. |

| That was a lot darker than I expected. After all the characters went through, ending like that was really tough to swallow. That said, an very good series. Wish they made more stuff like every now and again. |

| Man I love series that end on a melancholic note like this one. At first it was the plot that got me really hooked with it's great pacing and insane twists, but eventually I fell for the characters too and once the drama reached it's climax I was simpy overwhelmed by so many emotions. What a gem 8,5/10 |

| So...what was the deal with D'Eon siding with protecting the throne (I think that's what they said), despite Louis giving him every reason to kill him? I get he's meant to be loyal to France, but THE DUDE KILLED YOUR SISTER TO PROTECT HIS LINEAGE! I feel like this is a 3/5 maybe a 3.5/5. Found it dull, vague and anti-climatic at times but there was some merit. I did at least like Durand, Robin was sweet (though maybe they should've sewed the seeds for his heel-turn sooner), and D'Eon was a bit dull for my liking. |
 |
| Well, we finally found out the truth behind everything, but it just feels a bit underwhelming. But, what really irked me was the last couple minutes felt an awful lot like propaganda. Overall, I feel like this was a good idea, but it was just poorly executed. There were some parts that were interesting, but there were a lot of parts that I struggled to stay focused on. For the past week I've just been watching an episode or two a day to try and get through it. Anymore than that and it felt like I wasn't absorbing the content. It needed something to make it more engaging. It certainly wasn't a bad watch, it just isn't all that great either. |
