the end of le chevalier d'eon

[korpi]

All good things must come to an end. I'd sort of hoped the ending would break my heart, and that it certainly accomplished. But, dear producers, what's up with the sudden drop in quality of animation in the final episode?

H∴O + nqm
= Hommes ∴ Optare + nqm
= men (French) + wish (Latin) + vengeance (Hebrew)
= am I just imagining this?
= REVOLUTION.

What did I say back around the twentieth episode? "I think Robin's going to become a revolutionary"?

Vindicated.



Not quite what I was expecting (I thought he'd be a random no-name revolutionary), but I'm not complaining. Originally I'd thrown the Robin-succeeding-Maximilien theory that floated around out of the window when the real/original one got resurrected in his own body.

Robin'll bring democracy to France, even though he'll be guillotined in the process. And he'll have the duo of seamless team play with him all along the way! Lorenza and Cagliostro are wonderful sidekicks indeed, I'm so happy that they survived.

Lastly, considering certain two characters. Whatever they might be - fellow agents of a secret organization, near-practitioners of royal incest, two extremely strong and intelligent people so utterly defenselessly in love -

A couple of my friends were talking about how sad they were about d'Eon/Anna, but I found Robespierre/Lia a whole lot more tragic (and beautiful).

Fitting, considering that from halfway point on it seemed to become the main romance of Chevalier. (D'Eon's a side character in his own series!)

I, uh, might have cried myself to sleep after watching the last two episodes, because of these two.
