From what we know so far, The Rose of Versailles Sanrio collaboration is a perfect match! The elegance of the series works well with the cuteness of popular Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, Pochacco, and My Melody.
Watch the serialized anime adaptation of The Rose of Versailles on Crunchyroll! It may not be available in your region though, it sadly isn’t for us.
The Rose of Versailles Sanrio Products
In the Rose of Versailles Sanrio collab, we see Hello Kitty as Lady Oscar, Dear Daniel as Andre Grandier, Pochacco as Hans Axel von Fersen, and My Melody as Marie Antoinette herself.
Analysing translations, it looks to be a marketed goods collaboration, with plushies of each character in the Rose of Versailles costumes. I have a feeling these products will only be available in Japan sadly, but let’s hope the shipping costs aren’t too much!
There is no release date for the Sanrio plushies, but with the movie not coming out until early 2025, they may be available within the Winter 2024 window.
If any more information becomes available regarding the collaboration, I’ll be sure to report on it right here! This series is on my radar as it is, and I’m always on the lookout for more Sanrio updates.
