Released a whopping 46 years after it's first anime adaptation (and a musical to boot?!), what do we, as Rose of Versailles fans, think of this new vision of Oscar & company? Well...it definitely surprised us, alright, but it also left us asking quite a lot of questions. Listen in as we discuss what we thought worked, what we thought didn't, and answer your burning questions--like what other anime & manga should get musicals!
