Well, I guess at least that adds some novelty to this adaptation lol. Not a big fan of musicals but now I'm more curious about this movie.

This got me super-interested now. I haven't seen a single anime musical, and I have no idea what to expect.

I can respect that they went in a bold new direction rather than doing a plain re-adaptation.

Makes sense given there's a musical of this put on by Takarazuka Revue, but I'd be lying if I said I expected this since I've never seen an anime film that was a musical before.

Sweet! Love musicals, and there's tons of ways to do it right as long as it's not a jukebox musical.

I wondered if it was like being performed at the Takarazuka Revue.... I don't think the songs used there could be used in a movie, though.

Ah, so the topic owner @Lucifrost didn't see the movie!

I've seen other people on twitter who went to the previews and they said it was more like an Indian movie, not a musical, to be exact.

Huh, heard they scrapped quite a lot out from those skeptical about the new trailer, but the musical part is new to me.

If this movie shows up in theaters and won't ruin the original manga and anime from the 70s, then I'd totally buy a ticket or two

Makes sense since the original series was quite long. A musical would make the plot simpler

Oh. I actually enjoy watching musical movies. But somehow I have this idea that is one of the most hated genres by the general public.
I haven't read the manga but I was excited about this new adaptation. Although from the beginning since they announced the staff I had my doubts about Sawano Hiroyuki being the main composer, not because I don't like his music, I actually think he makes great pieces when he works with Kohta Yamamoto and the songs he makes are good to, my problem was that I wasn't confident with him working for a historical drama, since I feel like his strong are more action series and now the whole movie turned up into a musical.

@ysf_d_lgz I agree. I lowered my expectations since a while towards the movie, but after knowing it, I am not sure I will ever watch it.

I love Broadway musicals! But for sure I've never seen an anime being a musical, only idols singing their songs or a song here and there in other series.
I don't know what to expect, but I hope it's a good one! I don't know anything about this anime, other than it's a classic.

Well obviously they’re cramming an entire 80 chapter manga into a single film so a musical is better than a rushed mess that’s got no gimmick

Makes sense, it's probably because the story's so heavy associated with the Takarazuka Revue's performances of it now.

I felt unrefreshed after seeing the thread here, so I went to see this production even though I wasn't planning on seeing it.



Probably most people who have never seen a Takarazuka Revue review would consider this production to be a musical or musical-like.

Unfortunately for me, having seen multiple Takarazuka Revue reviews, it's hard to say for sure that it's a musical. As a mere musical, I thought Takarazuka Revue was more complete.

I thought it was a musical + Indian movie + music video added together and divided by 3. Also, I thought there were some scenes that were a bit like Revolutionary Girl Utena.

In fact, I went to see it after seeing “Ryoma”(https://myanimelist.net/anime/38882/Ryouma_The_Prince_of_Tennis_Shinsei_) a few days ago, which has already been mentioned in X as a similar movie but not a word about it in this thread, and I thought this was the most similar in atmosphere, including the way the songs were used in the play. However, the CGI in “Versailles” is not used as explicitly as in “Ryoma”.

Takarazuka Revue was also mentioned in the staff roll, but the songs used in Takarazuka Revue's performance of “The Rose of Versailles” were not used in this movie.

I don't know how many spoilers I can give away, so I'll stop writing this much.

@Fario-P
I went on the second day after the movie was released and there were so few people coming to see it that it was to the point of worrying me, but maybe you are the type of person who will like this movie.
