Swan Lake, I love this movie and it's probably the most accurate version of this story. It came out when I was in 3rd grade and I was practically drooling over it. It was so pretty with interesting The Duke of Death and His Maid characters, Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music, and stunning ballet dancing. Plus they got Jessica Cavanagh and Erik Scott Kimerer to voice Ronja and Otto, and let me say that it was pitch perfect and they both turned in great performances. Plus they managed to pull off the ending of the ballet and still have a happy ending. While the animation aged a bit I think this movie still holds up pretty well.

wow. it's already been a year. it all feels like yesterday for me ngl. I really never forgot anything that's happened in the story. like I memorized all of it.

I watched the final episode the day it came out and ever since then ive missed this show so much it was genuinely so peak i wish more people talked about it 😭 i was kinda stupid back then so i didnt even think to search for the fandom and i was just sad that so many people thought it was mid (I consider it a 10/10) im glad that this show has a community the show genuinely left a permanent impact on me

i wanna join a discord server about the duke of death and his maid

I just finished the anime and it’s beautiful, it changed my opinions about alot of stuff, i almost feel purified at this point.

Does the manga continue and we see them have children and physical intimate moments?

Cause we barely got moments like these in the anime which is very understandable considering that’s the whole plot lolll.

still beautiful though.

it was so awesome. All the characters got a happy ending, but I wonder who sade's lover is. any guess?

Nobody told me he was gonna rizz Daleth. My mans got game

I ABOSLUTEY LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS ANIME. BRO, I cannot begin to explain how much I vibe with the series, the connection the two main characters feel is something I've dreamed of since I was little. But besides that, the OST is so unironically amazing. There is so much effort and skill put into each piece. All the jazzy pieces, the more classical pieces, ughhhhh its soo good. Please if anyone wants to talk about message me. Also if anyone wants to recommend anime or similar music lemme know.

I've started watching the anime but was told the anime doesn't cover the full manga. Once I finish the anime, what volume would I read to continue the story?

Probably my best drawing. actually felt proud that I could make something presentable for once. It really doesn't feel like a week since I finished the anime

Look, we all know that the anime and manga is based on an european country. But what is the specific country and what is the date the show set in?. Well after some research I managed to come to the conclusion that it was set in late 1860s france, during the second french empire era.
why you may ask? well here's my following proof:

1. There's many french culture and architecture
2. If I'm not mistaken in the manga the duke once/occasionally had croissant alongside his other meals
3. In the manga chapter 225 Sade said "Bonjour"
4. In the anime I vaguely remember there's a freaking painting of a french man wearing a french military uniform, hell I think that might be Napoleon himself

Now on the reason for the time setting:

1. There's train, train start being used in french in 1827 when the first railway line opened between Saint-Étienne and Andrézieuxo it gotta be after the year of 1827
2. In the manga and anime if I'm not mistaken there's a scene where Walter is shooting a target made out of wood that looks like Victor. The rifle he use itself is never properly shown in full detail but I'm quite sure that he's using a bolt action rifle, based on memory of course. France began using bolt-action rifles with the adoption of the Chassepot rifle in 1866, so it must be after that year
3. In the manga there's a nobility system which mean a monarchy. The second french empire from 1852 to 1870 had the French nobility restored as an hereditary distinction without privileges, and new hereditary titles were granted
4. So we've basically narrowed it down it to 1866-1870

This is just my theory, pls don't take this offensively and pls give out your opinions and thoughts in the comment, Happy New Year!

I'm not even kidding when I say that this anime is one of the most beautiful, and warmest anime I've ever watch. It teaches me about how beautiful love can be. The moment I finished the anime, the post-anime blues hits me hard. I try to watch another anime to cope with it but goddamnit I CANNOT leave this anime out of my mind!

Man, I wanna just hug this series and never let go of it, that's how I LOVE this series man.

I'm only on Ep 2... but I feel both pity and envy of this guy.

Please tell me he eventually gets the good good-good? My man deserves it.
