A lot of people compare Versailles no Bara to Shoujo Kakumei Utena but these two animes/mangas are sooo different. In Utena....EVERYTHING has to do with the rose. But, in Versailles no Bara the "rose" only refers to Maria Antoinette and I think Oscar, too. I used to own the entire Versailles no Bara manga series, until my sister accidently threw my entire set away.

Those were irreplaceble, because I got the first edition set....that was my first manga EVER. I got it in Chinese, because I went to a Chinese bookstore in a Chinatown, but now.....I'm not sure where I can get the Japanese version, and if they changed the covers. Anyway, it's such a shame you can't get the anime. The anime is terrific. It's so well done. And, the dub is REALLY good too. That's kinda rare in anime, but the voices went really well with each character. That's what also drew me into this series. The manga is good too, but you can't get that spellbound feeling with the manga. I was totally enchanted by this anime, no joke. After watching the first four episodes, and stopping the tape....I swear....that's when the spell broke off and I was free to think again. Scary, huh? Plus, everything in Utena is so beautiful. The merchandise for this series is awesome too. They actually made the Rose Signet Rings, which I own the Black and White, there's cosplay outfits, which I bid for Anthy's "Rose Bride" outfit on Ebay, the music is GREAT, so I got the CDs....man, I could go on and on, but yeah....this series is wonderful and someday....if you can, definitely try to check out the anime.
