The 1979 anime (based on a 1973 manga) Rose of Versailles is about the downfall of the french monarchy.
It's probably the very best depiction of revolution in any media I have seen thus far, so even though it's about a previous stage in Historical Materialism, it's definitely a must watch (despite something CW-worthy late in the anime that was handled horribly imo).
Unfortunately, the author became rich and went lib in the 1980s.
another reason to watch: The famous guillotine gif is from there
Also the MC is a female at birth but raised as a male by their father badass that has conflicts with their gender and how they identify and is inspiration for all shorts of future characters (Griffith in Berserk, Utena etc)
