Well, I just finished the last episode of "Le Chevalier D'eon". I don't know what the budget was, but it was a really great anime right up until their conclusion. Not that it was a terrible ending, or too sudden. It was built up, and well done enough, but it felt at some points through the show as though the story was being determined a la carte. The art was really quite acceptable, with a very few sloppy facials near the end. The concept of drawing off of history and actual historical figures {like Robespierre, who I really appreciated being in there, and not as poorly presented as was king Louis}, and working a story around it, was well done, and made it at least a little bit more interesting.
Overall, I thought it was good, but in a sense, given the conclusion, I'm glad it was just as long as it was. I suppose the beginning of the show made me set my standards for it really high. It is quite a good anime.
Next, I've got Noir. I'm going to have to start that sometime soon.
