During the late 18th century,a young woman is born as a sixth and youngest daughter of an army general. Her father names her Oscar and raises her as a boy .Oscar later becomes a commander of the Royal Guards and confidant of Marie Antoinette. The story takes place before and during the French Revolution. Since this is a fictional story,many events are made up,while some actually happened. For the anime made in 1979 and 1980,Rose of Versailles has a nice animation. The character of Oscar is truly great,she is loyal, brave and very fierce. The finale is touching and emotional. Rose of Versailles is also very influential still,due to its influence on shoujo that came later. Overall,this is a very good and emotional shoujo .9/10.
