I'm glad we got to see her in a dress once. It was nice to be reminded that she really is a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.

that looked so... weird... oscar in a dress... omg... I felt like looking at some weird crossdressing show. XD

I know she was crossdressing before and now she's like she was supposed to be... but... OMG! I can't get used to it... it's weird.

Oscar! Get back in uniform or I kick ur arse! *grrr*

I was expecting her to look ravishing in a dress... she is drawn brilliantly... still... Fersen? WTF? (was expecting that too, but she actually doing what she did for him... eww... XD)

Poor, poor, André. Oscar in a dress was weird too. I wonder if Fersen was behind the attack.

POOR ANDRE. bet he wanted to poke out Fersen's eye when they were practicing.
probly knock him off his horse too.
and Oscar! I am so ashamed of you woman. How dare you act like a woman!
I wish she would at least acknowledge Andre more than the little scraps of affection he gets.
Gosh I hope this Fersen thing dies soon...

Seeing Oscar so happy in the beginning about Fersens return with Andre standing in the background made me really sad :(

But I really liked Fersens long hair ^^. Too bad it was short again soon.

Interesting to see him work as an advisor now, not as an affair. Seems like he's really needed, the population starts tor evolt more and more.

And Oscar dressing as a woman was pretty strange, but I found it hilarious that she pretended to be some else and noone even noticed her identity.
I probably regret this post by now.

Unfortunately, these were my thoughts, too. It was just really bizarre seeing her in a dress when she's worn nothing but a military uniform this entire time. That granny that lives with her must really have embellished her with a lot of stuff, since it also seemed like she had a figure as she never did before (largest chest in addition to the super thin corseted waist). What an extravagant era.

I don't know why, but I just don't like Fersen very much. I would much rather see Oscar go after André. And although she looked strange dressed as a woman this first time, I bet those of us who found it odd would get used to it if she kept up with a more feminine appearance for the rest of the show.

So the love finally comes out. It says a lot about Oscar now that she's willing to wear a dress for Fersen. I noticed the "OSCARRR!" part from the outro has been gone the last several episodes. Wonder what Andre thinks about this whole situation...?

^ Yeah I forgot to comment about that I was like what happened to that part at the end? Why did they take it out?

Oscar wearing a dress to dance with Fersen was pretty awkward, but damn she is beautiful no matter what she wears.

That was strange. I do prefer her in the military uniform.

Andre >>> Fersen. Really. Oscar falling in love with Fersen did indeed feel forced.

I felt sorry for Andre this episode too. The beginning of the episode especially, Oscar was like a puppy.

Though I'm glad Antoinette has some sense put into her now though.

This show. Even when everything seems right, it always finds a way to go horribly wrong. Even if it nothing has happened yet, it'll eventually happen. That moment between Ferson and Oscar was great. Yet, it was merely a great fleeting moment, one that cannot become anything more.

Besides that, this show seems to have a reoccurring theme of ambition and desire. Freedom, position, revenge, wealth, or just a simple longing for another - everyone wants something, but for one person to have, another is left without. It's a tragedy not created from a single person, but from a collective society with conflicting interests. Happiness is a finite resource in Rose of Versailles. Not everyone can have it, but at the same time, everyone can be drained of it simultaneously. If I'm correct, revolution will not end well for anyone, but it would be the only way to reset everything to null. The cost to do so won't be cheap though.

So much shoujo sparkles this episode! God, I burst out laughting in the scene André sees Oscar (that cut keeps on for too long and the sparkles just get bigger!)

Geez, you people can't even reconize her? How much make-up are you wearing, woman?
She looks better on her Royal Guard uniform, btw.

I hate knowing that the French Revolution is coming, and I'm always thinking about what measures the nobility could take to prevent it, but history can't change no matter how hard I will it. It's a great pain.

It's so sad to know that nothing anyone does could avert this crisis from happening because it has to follow historical events.

Oscar more like Crossdressing to me. Still can't consider her as a woman. Need more oscar dress mode.

As I know there is no Oscar in france revolution. Despite being main protagonist in this show, She is just merely an observer of the historical event. I doubt the history would change, but i wanna see some surprise.

wtf Oscar looks much better dressed like a man. She looks ugly, and I dare say she looks a lot like Polignac with that dress and stupid hair style.

So Fersen came back, and I'm not all that happy. I was disappointed that he decided to stay in France,instead of returning to Sweden. He better not resume his affair with Marie Antoinette, she has two kids now.

Anyway, Oscar's love for Fersen just seems really random and out of place :/

I thought Oscar looked great in her court dress, again, it was just really out of place IMO.

Why does everyone think that Oscar's love for Fersen is not genuine and out of the blue ?

I think that her feelings for Fersen are very sincere and deep. She really does love Fersen and they are many scenes which indicate this.

Well it's not that her love is disingenuous. You can tell especially in the episodes following this one. It's just that it sort of came out of nowhere. There weren't too many hints that she liked him early in the show and all of a sudden BAM she's in love with him.

Classic RoV.
An absolutely stunning episode after a rather drab one.
Oscar in a dress was very hard to take for some reason.
Poor Andre. Always getting shafted by everyone.

Can we take in the moment and acknowledge this had to be the first time in her entire life that she wore a dress? As she said... "[...] as a woman..."

Truly a touching and bittersweet moment for the quivering emotions deeply resonating within Oscar.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

I think Oscar is mixing up her admiration to Fersen with being in love. She should consider Andre's feeling for her. Andre > Fersen!

Oscar-chan wa onna ko!

While it was fun to see Oscar in a dress, what felt weird was the way she was behaving. Usually she's very no-nonsense and straighforward, but with her feelings for Fersen she's acting as silly as Antoinette usually acts. Given her generally badass self, I'd expect her to walk up to Fersen and say: "You. Me. Date. Now."

I'm surprised at half of the comments on this thread and their lack of understanding of Oscar's dilemma. No matter how badass she is, this episode is a reminder of her true being hidden under the facade that she had to assume because of her father. Her antidote appears in the form of Fersen and we are subtly shown in the earlier episodes how she feels about him from the way she looks at him and worries for him. Despite continuously brushing her "feminine" sensibilities aside, here we are given a glimpse of what she, like any other woman, desires; to be loved by the man she admires, and to be able to experience being a woman in love, even if just for an evening's dance.

This is one of the most beautiful episodes in the anime, I have no words to describe how it hit me.

i agree, but just like what other people said, her liking fersen came out of nowhere. sure we got some hints, but it was not enough. it just feels so random. what's more is that she admires him so much when there's nothing admirable about him. this is a guy who had sex with a married woman. they act like nothing happened.
poor andre. he's just invisible to this show. no one gives a damn about him haha.

The show hasn't been subtle about Oscar having the hots for Fersen up until this point, what are you people even talking about. As with a lot of things on this show, it may not be believable (I personally don't get what she sees in him beyond the surface), but we've been beaten over the head with it all this time.

And Oscar looked great in that dress. Fight me nerds.

I don't find it forced at all since Oscar's feelings have been heavily hinted for many episodes. Oscar was so beautiful with the dress, she always is but seems like she can pull off any style. Really depressing episode.

Really beautiful episode,especially in terms of directing.

It's such a pity for Oscar that Fersen doesn't seem to share the same kind of feelings she does. She looke fabulous in that dress btw,that scene set a grin on my face.

If only Oscar would recognize Andre for the great man he is: uncompromising, attentive, loyal, humble, and all above all else, steadfast. The man she deserves has been right there, standing silently by her side for years... and yet she wants to go after the adulterer who is already with another woman, who had abandoned his woman not once, twice, but three times before. It makes me sad.
