| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "The Watchword is "Au Revoir"" A lot of transition and foreshadowing in this ep. It seems Robespierre is making his powerplay, just as St. Just said. |
 |
| Oh I knew Robespierre was evil. Oscar is getting ready to die and that is very sad. Marie is an idiot. |
| My anime list |
| It's kinda sad thinking that Oscar is sick :(( Until I've read the comments from some episodes, I didn't think about Oscar's death at all. She seemed all right to me, but now, whenever I think about it, it makes me sad :( |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Everyone thinks the same as me ^^. It seems todays "die-flashy-and-come-back-alive" is yesterdays "die-of-a-sickness-because-it's-more-realistic-and-tragic". It's a shame, really. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Crap Oscar not you too I don't want another Souji Okita. T^T Well all hell is breaking loose in Paris now. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Oh Marie....you are a spoiled brat and an idiot to the very end. I have no sympathy for her or the king. I feel bad for Oscar but she made the right call. |
 |
| Viva la revolution!!!! |

| oh no.......Oscar is as good as dead. I'm going to be crying at 1 am over an anime character....... I take back what I had said about Marie....she's still naive. damn her! if she wasn't didn't persuade the king, everything would have been easier |

| It has been around 20 years since Oscar and Marie first met? Holy crap, the passing time still hasn't sunk in for me yet. That means they're well into their 30s by now. Rose of Versailles has been moving at a breakneck speed, a pace full of necks getting broken as well. With things accelerating within the past few episodes, there's no breathing room at all - a far cry from how this show first started off. It's almost frightening how much things have changed. |
| I am not ready, Not ready for the revolution, been stalling this episode for long . Poor Antoniette, Oscar anbandoned her. Seriously Oscar, You shouldn't broke your promise. I thought Oscar would be the sole survivor.. |
 |
| That was an amazing episode - like all the kinda-historical episodes have been. The Oscar-Antoinette farewell scene was the first that made me tear up in this series too. That scene carried the weight of their entire relationship. From Oscar's PoV: to be forced to betray a beloved friend and liege like that, because you know she is in the wrong, but yet getting racked by guilt for turning a blind eye to her faults before and leaving her to the hounds now that she is irredeemable. From Antoinette's PoV: her last bastion and pillar of loyalty just betrayed her, leaving behind the irrefutable truth that her kingdom is crumbling all around her. This is it, this is the end. This isn't au revoir, this is adieu. |
| Oscar did well, 20 years passed and Marie is still as retarded, not much to do. |
 |
| That last scene was so majestic! The melancholic colors, the sadness of the characters ... I'm ready for the revolution!  |

| Oh shit,not ready for what's going to happen. Farewell betwenn Oscar and Antoinette was so sad. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That last scene was really depressing and intense. I really liked it although it saddens me to see that they won't meet again and that their friendship is over. I'm nostalgic looking back at the first few eps. As for Marie, she hasn't been a good Queen at all, she hasn't cared for the commoners but I still can't seem to dislike her in this adaptation, maybe because her character has been fleshed out really well. As for Robespierre, the foreshadowing was well-done. |
| Despite Marie having made some major bad decisions in the past, it's still sad to see her saying au revioir to Oscar after having a long friendship of 20 years... Can't believe Oscar is going to die because of some lung disease... |

Miru said: That last scene was so majestic! The melancholic colors, the sadness of the characters ... I'm ready for the revolution! This was an amazing scene. Modern anime fans can say what they want about dated art/animation, but that old school stuff when done right with a full budget is hard to beat. Wonderful scene. So sad and melancholic too. Those two have really been there for each other. And Marie is portrayed in a balanced way I think. She's not evil or vindictive, just selfish and misguided. Oscar, please don't die on us. That would be too sad. Love the scene with Alain calling the guys of the other regiment "country" |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Antoinette is literally manipulating the king, and she is really dumb for wanting to fight the French citizens. Shes the cause of all the problems in France tbh |
 |
| lol at Marie Antoinette involving herself now that people are outraging. If only she tries to settle it with the king when the problem was still lighter. What a sad way to end Oscar and Marie's friendship. And why can't Oscar sees a doctor ? who knows there's a chance for her to get cured. |
| And now she says goodbye to the romantic world she used (and probably still even if just a little bit) love, meanwhile Marie hold on to it even when there is nothing there to hold, beautiful scene. |
| crowd control! The mass, called the people, take up arms, there is no turning back, not even for pride! kekeke |
| What, in the end Robespierre and Saint-Just are the same. I felt stupid for believing and sympathizing with Robespierre. But whatever, at least thanks to him the Revolution is very much in sight. Marie said they've been friends for 20 years. They first met when they were 14, so they're in their 30s now? Wow, that means Oscar has been on Marie's side for a very long time... |
 |
| Like the reference to Robespierre being a Terrroist on a grander scale than Just, considering the Terror and all that. Although, I'm pretty sure the term "terrorist" was invented during the Terror to describe the Jacobins behind it? Also liked the contrast of Oscar and Antoinette's first and last meetings in this episode, the tragedy of broken friendships due to politics and such. |
