AICN Anime - Preview of Production I.G's Le Chevalier d'Eon
IGN is certainly ambitious in undertaking this project; I can't imagine an American studio or broadcaster doing the same--not with them pandering to the masses. (Would the market be ready for something like this? Perhaps, given the success of Dan Brown's novels, but American Treasure didn't do so well domestically, iirc. Does it get French history and culture? How about the role of the Church and of religion?

So this is basically Rose of Versailles with the cross-dressing the other way around.
I'm sure the production values are fabulous.
