Now this anime was highly publicized by Animax recently, prompting it was one of best animation in 2007. It has 24 episodes in all, and so far i only manage to watch the 1st half of the whole series. The anime is drawn in very nice detail, especially the lighting effect on water, background layout and the internal castle structure.
As I have not completed the whole series, so i can't really comment much on the show. The characters recite alot of words in the bible though. As the story is loosely based on historical facts, i can say that the creator of the series is very creative instead. The historical character, d'Eon de Beaumont as written in Wikipedia tells about a guy working as a spy for France, was insisting that he is infact a woman, and dressed up as a woman as well during his spy missions. In the anime series, it tells that the character had a sister named Lia (non-existant in the history) who also worked for the King of France, was killed during one of her own mission. As both d'Eon and Lia are very close to each other, the spirit of the Lia ends up possessing the brother at times. Of course to make the anime more interesting, you'll see people that can cast spells and control gargoyles to attack our heroes.
There's lots of blend between actual historical events in the anime. Of course, you can't really depend in watching the show in order to score your history exam. The examiner would not know what the heck you're talking about.
