Ok, I'm looking for a bit more than that when i made this board. Although the mere fact that it involves something french is enough to make me wonder if it'll surrender if nobody likes it.

If it works for that AMV discussion forum; then I'm sure it'll work here. :P

Resident tank enthusiast. See me for racist and opinionated storytelling and vaguely accurate historical tank warfare-themed rants.

Le Chevalier D`Eon

Plot (from anidb)
In the 18th Century, just before the French revolution, multiple religious cults of the dark side were engaged in secret maneuvers under the name of Revolution. "Le Chevalier D`Eon" (Knight D`Eon) a diplomat and a special agent working for Louis XIV, is fighting against those cults, and also on a mission to find the killer of his own sister. A mysterious cult organization called "Rose Cross" stands in his way, using vicious powers to create a dark creature, "Gargoyle" to take over Europe.

Le Chevalier d`Eon, Charles de Beaumont, was a real-life diplomat and spy in 18th century Europe, most famous for being of questionable gender. D`Eon worked as a spy, politician and soldier for King Louis XV for many years, before returning to France during the rule of King Louis XVI. After his return to France he lived and dressed as a woman. It was not until his death that doctors confirmed that he was a man.


Similar in vein of FMA but in France.

Sounds more like a h-game plot than FMA.

I was certain that this was a Blood+ spinoff. I'm not so sure now. The constant referral to Chevaliers in that series lead me off guard.

Then again, it might still be. 8)

And there was a France saga in Blood + too. Yeah I don't see much relation between this and FMA although I didn't quite finish watching FMA, watched a fair bit though. But i'm sure it could be interesting.

The Gargoyles might turn out to be Chiropterans yet. They'll probably torment me with this until I see the show, itself....

you know, that doesn't really sound like FMA's storyline. i should know, i'm crazy enough to have watched it twice.
i might even go as one of the characters from it to next year's avcon. if you can guess who i am, you can probably guess which character i'd go as.

Having seen the first couple of episodes of Chevalier, I can say that it really isn't anything like either FMA or Blood+.... Merely a series set with actual historical characters that just happens to contain certain horror elements that aren't really all that important to the overall plot. At least, not yet.

Animation is nice. The plot looks very dry at the moment, though.

It reminds me of FMA, cause of the gargoyles are the produce of alchemy. I suppose using magicial quicksilver in a persons blood could be a bad thing, I might try it on a few subjects.

Using quicksilver, magical or not, does much to people that they wouldn't want done....
