These extend to the other protagonists too - Robert's family is publicly disgraced in front of the other aristocrats while Milan is sent to jail. It's not a pretty journey for ''anybody'']].

''La Seine No Hoshi (ラ・セーヌの星)'' is an anime created by Mitsuru Kaneko.
It's the eve of the UsefulNotes/FrenchRevolution. The tyrannical king Louis XVI has led many civilians to suffer due to the corruption that runs deep within UsefulNotes/{{France}}, as the system favours the rich while screwing over the downtrodden and the poor.
Until one heroine makes a stand.
Enter Simone.
Having lost her parents to the wealthy aristocrats, she vows to set things right and upturn the corrupt system of Paris. Donning a mask and leaving carnations behind wherever she goes, Simone leaves her past behind...and becomes La Seine No Hoshi.
The anime is based on the 1963 French movie ''La Tulip Noire'' ("The Black Tulip"), which was based on the Creator/AlexandreDumas novel of the same name. Despite this, the film has very little to do with the book. The first 26 episodes were directed by Masaaki Osumi, while the other 13 were directed by Creator/YoshiyukiTomino (yes, [[KillEmAll THAT]] Tomino). The anime ran from April 4, 1975 to December 26, 1975 and comprised of 39 episodes in total.
Mentioning the name might cause a bit of FlameBait, as the anime is often accused of being a ripoff of ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''.
!!Le Seine No Hoshi has examples of:
*ActionGirl: Simone is an {{Expy}} of Zorro and can wield a sword.

*PunchClockVillain: Zaral, the commander of a French Guards group detached to police Paris. He serves as the primary antagonist, but that's only because it's his job to enforce the orders of the court. As long as you aren't targeted by said orders or don't break the law, the worse he does is a few empty threats. In one occasion he even let the Black Tulip go in spite of him being a wanted criminal and a personal hate for him because the Black Tulip had brought him a much worse criminal, only remarking he was supposed to arrest him too and that it would be easy to do it in the Guards' barracks.
