| Let's see how many more people are overworked to death for a remake that won't match Dezaki's original show. |
| This looks so visually underwhelming and I'm really not feeling the VA casting. At least it might introduce the manga and original adaptation to a younger audience. |

| Omg!!! It looks amazing I can't wait to watch it!!! 😍😍😍 |
| Looks very sterile and bland, with it being a movie I don't see a point in checking it out. Gonna skip. |
| It already looks amazing on the trailer. It's great to see this iconic series receiving love again after all those decades. MAPPA is the studio working on it, so for sure this movie will be polished as much as it is possible. |
| I barely remember the original anime, Rose of Versailles always looked like a Hollywood story about the old regime in the spirit of Black Tulip? @Adnash I'm more worried not about the quality itself, but that the release of a new version again triggers people who care more about their headcanons than about the original story. For example, denying the original love interests or claiming that Oscar is a man. It even got into Wikipedia. |

| It just keeps on getting worse, another shitty adaptation of old crap that should stay dead in that era. Make something new or creative, or adapt stories not seen yet, you utter muppets. |
| I saw it was an old school shoujonand was like : oh cool Then I saw studio MAPPA and was like : oh no. |

| Damn !!! This looks beautiful. Mappa doing a shoujo anime that's new. Anyway I am excited this looks too good. |
I like Sawano, I like Rose of Versailles and I like Mappa but this this just look....wierd. In a wierd way. Everyone is invited to check out the amazing anime directed by Dezaki instead. |

| @ZXEAN Or they could adapt any other retro shoujo manga that was never adapted instead. Dezaki did a great job, this doesnt need a remake. |

| @MichaelJackson We've already gotten retro shonen or even seinen manga adaptations over the years, so if all of this is popular, then maybe we'll get this too. Everything needs its time. |

| OK, @Oppai_Loli_God Atleast its not creatively bankrupt, pedophilic or cringe |
| Could be me, but music felt out of place here lol. |

Can they adapt the whole manga in 1 movie?
| @Antarclist, no, it is impossible. Better watch the previous anime adaptation. |

@Memore Most people won't go watch decades old anime, regardless of how much some consider it a classic.
I watched it years ago, it was fine, a bit overmelodramatic, but honestly, it was never something that set the world on fire.
In other words, stop overrating things, especially old ones.

| @Osamunau, where did I overrate it? I simply wrote that one movie can't adapt the whole manga, that is all. |

Reply to Osamunau
@Memore When you used word "better"; but maybe overrating wasn't a right word.
Anyway, thinking about it now, a movie, or two ARE kinda enough to adapt the most important parts of the story.
I do wish it was a series myself, but let us be honest, at least it's something.
