In the final of three announcements made by Right Stuf and their Nozomi Entertainment division, the company has announced that on the 9th July 2013 they will be releasing The Rose of Versailles Part 2 as a limited edition DVD set. This second of two limited-edition DVD sets will feature the series’ concluding 20 episodes – housed in a collectible, chipboard art box – with Japanese audio, English subtitles, and English on-screen translations, plus on-disc extras (including an interview with director Osamu Dezaki) and an art booklet. The release is currently only on DVD and will set fans back approximately $49.99.
The French royalty’s indulgences have taken their toll on the common folk. While nobles live in opulence, children starve in the streets. Counts and countesses attend masquerade balls, as families unable to afford medicine are forced to bury their loved ones. What were once pleas for equality are now enraged demands for radical change…
Just as the times have changed, so has Oscar’s heart. Looking to challenge herself further, Oscar leaves the Queen’s side. She enlists with the French Guards, common soldiers who put their lives on the line every night as they patrol the streets and keep the peace. However, Oscar soon finds that an anti-noble sentiment resides everywhere, even amongst the guards that grudgingly follow her orders.
As the flames of revolution begin to spread, she soon finds herself torn between her loyalty to the crown and her loyalty to France itself.
