I've stumbled upon Requiem of the Rose King anime this past weekend, signed up for a free Crunchyroll trial, and now I am binging right through it. I also bought the first five volumes of the manga and I'm eagerly awaiting them. Anyhow, all that to say I have so much to say and nowhere to say it.. or with whom to share it.. So here it goes, Tumblr..
While so much is different, I am getting such strong Yu Higuri's Cantarella vibes.. both protagonists--RotRK's Richard Plantagenet and Cantarella's Cesare Borgia--are the odd ones out of a prominent family (both are dark-haired in a family of blondes even!), both have an accusation of being a demon from their surroundings from their youth, both are exceptional, both had an 'angelic' being in their proximity that kept the 'demon at bay,' both lost said person only to drown into their demonic side, both will conquer the seat they chose by being cunning and inspiring loyalty, and both have that political genius as an ally. And both have been regarded by history as treacherous and blood-hungry.
Anyway, that's it. I may be the only one to see the parallels, but I guess I wanted to put them out there...
I only came to this anime because I wanted to hear Midorikawa Hikaru's Henry VI... I came away with what I love from those historical Japanese media.. Can't wait to see if the manga is as good (probably better).
If you want to discuss (I know I'm a year late to the party, but heh), here I am!
Title: Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai: Don’t Stay Gold
Plot: The anime is based on a short story Yoneda wrote about Kageyama and Kuga’s first meeting. The OVA is included in the special edition of the seventh volume of the manga. In collaboration with aarinfantasy^^ Note: This was released via DVD and because of that, it is only available in 480p. We will definitely re-release our subtitles once a better raw is available. Additionally, we have decided to release the softsubbed version (MKV) for this for those who would like to tweak the subs’ styling to their own liking. Thank you to those who brought up this concern to me!

I feel like I’ve discovered the best thing, learned that it’s been going on for 4 years (albeit more) and it’s stopping before I get to understand it.
Wait. This is exactly what happened
