I want to recommend Princess Principal to Tales of The Shadowmen fans

It was an Anime that aired during the Summer 2017 season.  I loved it.  And it reminded me of my time spent reading BlackCoatPress and Rocambole books quite a bit.

It's set in a Steam Punk alternate history London.  Now maybe it's only because I've read more 19th Century French popular fictions and English that it reminds me of French stuff more.  But there are some obvious French Revolution references, and the Dukes mentioned sound like French Dukedoms.

Like a lot of Anime, it is very Rocambolesque.

For the current season Code:Realize is explicitly referencing most French novels yet with a London setting.  So perhaps that's just how Anime currently does it.
