It Was a 50/50
This time around we didn’t have much choice for the letter “V”. The other category saw a fair number of write-ins, but of the 18 unique participants, 9 of those votes went to our winner: Versailles no Bara, or The Rose of Versailles. This 1979 anime is one that’s been sitting on my shelf for some time, so this’ll be the perfect excuse to watch it! However, it comes in at 40 episodes so expect this one to take me some time to work through.
One thing I really love about this ABC series, is the fact that each letter seems to bring with it something completely different than the last. By time we reach “Z”, I’m sure that this will be a fairly unique snapshot of the medium that is anime, in so much that we’ll have sampled a bit of everything. Don’t you find that interesting as well?
Anyway, until I can get to the review proper, consider checking out the previous winner, Uchouten Kazoku or my big alphabetized list of every anime I’ve reviewed. As always, the breakdown of the votes can be found below.
Other Votes: Voltes V, Vampire Hunter D, Violet Evergarden (Already reviewed, please be mindful of this in the future. Vote discarded.), VividRed Operation, Voices of a Distant Star, and Victory Gundam

Somehow I missed this one. 😦 It’s a shame Vinland Saga is still airing, that would have won easily i’m sure. 😛

It’s alright, maybe the next one 🙂 Vinland Saga would be cool but I couldn’t have watched it anyway unfortunately 😦

I’m glad that dumb Victory Gundam thing didn’t make it through, because it would just destroy. I’m glad you’re watching Rose of Versailles. It’s a good, older series!

Very cool to see a classic anime win. Very much looking forward to a post on that one! We are nearing the end of the alfabet by the way. Will you be starting the series for a second time? Or no plans yet? 😊

Hey Raistlin! It’s definitely nice to see you 🙂 This classic should be a good watch. As for plans, I might cycle through again, but I actually have a little something planned first 😉 That’s still in the works though.
