6	An AbridgedSeries of ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'' by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Cassius614 Cassius614]]. This series not only mocks the usual abridging targets, but the whole genre of period {{Anime}}, and period fiction in general. Also tends to center on tropes even more than a typical abridged series, and sometimes even makes Oscar more GenreSavvy than simply complaining about the tropes the writers make her go through.
