What did you want to talk about?
Some things are handled better in the anime than they are the novel, or at least I remember thinking that was the case however many years ago I watched this.
Off the top of my head, the mystery element to the narrative structure, the servants of the Count, Andrea Cavalcanti's characterization, the Rome stuff, and Franz (minus the fujo bits)
The ending is an interesting case because the theme of it is largely changed.
The court scene with Cavalcanti and Villefort was far superior in the novel.

One of the best things Gonzo ever did. Koichi Chigara should go back to animeizing European classics. Might be interesting.
Juan Hill
I adore the sheer sense of style in this show
It's so fucking beautiful
Is there any show that's similar to this, then?
Robert Allen
The count is cute! Cute!
David Rogers
There was really nothing wrong with Franz's characterization as a gay man. It wasn't tasteless like most fujoshit.

>Never got scandalous lesbian relationship between Euginie and her lover as she runs from Paris
Dominic Turner
>Franz is gay
>Dies
>The Count is most likely gay, with the ending and implied Mancrush on him from Albert
>He also ultimately dies
It's very classical gay pulp novel, and it pleases me. Not cause they die, but it just reminds me of older pulp novels

Haydee is my wife!

I can’t remember what the anime did to replace it but the chapter with Andrea encountering them in the hotel room was 10/10

It has been several years since I watched Gankutsuou but I recently read through the Count of Monte Cristo and apparently all the stuff I remember from the show didn't even happen in the novel.

This was such a compelling show all the way through, despite falling flat near the end and the jarring mecha.
Can anyone tell me why Luigi Vampa and the Count had that little tussle at the bandit HQ since it was revealed the Count hired him in the first place?
don't touch my wife.
John Rivera
Nasu admitted he can't make a Dantes as good as the one from Gankutsuou and sorta gave up.
I thought that was kinda funny.
Adam Long
I loved the book and I liked it.
Really pretty.
Nice thread mate!
Lincoln Allen
EXCELLENT SHOW

No.
Ayden Clark
The blonde guy was a amazing and the mc an absolute faggot
Joshua Gonzalez
Beautiful
James Bennett
Peppo was undeniably best boy
Evan Wright
How did Gonzo go from this to 18if?
Jose Taylor
What exactly are you implying here user
Xavier Cox
Patrician taste
Peppo was a bro
Julian Clark
Is it wrong that I feel a bit like Albert in regards to the Count?
is it gay if it's with the count?
Alexander Diaz
Who actually read the book because of this show?
Luis Turner
if only they remove that shounen-like mc, that would be perfect
the plot turns into shounen where everything becomes possible cause of muh friendship, muh stubbornness
shounenshitness in this show sure pissed me off, fuck that
Asher Robinson
Gonzo literally went bankrupt and had most of its management replaced by the new owners.
Joseph Bell
why did they go for generic drama ending. Count deserves to be happy
Anthony Gomez
Thanks
Xavier Ross
Talk about it then.
Aaron Williams
Better than this shit
Liam Wright
The anime thought that it would be better to make Franz's gay so that he can sacrifice himself to save Albert from being killed in a duel by the Count. The one flaw I have with Gankutsuou is MC being full blown retarded that it got several people killed indirectly.
Luke Ramirez
No, but I feel that the Count doesn't really need Albert. The kid can't compete with Haydee because she's way too good.
Hunter Myers
It is gem. Much better than all this moe kawaii girls shit Sup Forums full about.
Brandon Hernandez
The original book was miles better in every single aspect. But the anime was good by anime standards.
Cooper Ortiz
Why can't anime be kino like Gankutsuou?
Jacob Young
Too much of a risk I guess.
Owen Miller
I hated how Albert's love symbolically and literally melted the coldness surrounding the count's heart and undid the curse
It begs the question, why was it Albert and his Haidee? Albert was nothing more than a pawn to the count. If anything Albert felt stronger about the girl who he was engaged to.
That part of the ending is so jarring.
Jason Moore
>No Albert
>I AM your father
What were they thinking, I loved the first half though
Brayden Powell
The ending was pretty retarded. Then again, nips in general suck at endings. Thankfully the original book ended in a much more satisfying way.
Colton Stewart
How did it end?
Brayden Green
amazing.
didn't like the ending, the novel ending was way better; but it doesn't affect the overall appreciation of the show.
Josiah Diaz
The Nasu from Fate ?
Parker Reed
This was a good watch. Unfortunately Sup Forums doesn't talk about it much.
Caleb Williams
Albert broke the counts curse with his homolust, the curse was the only thing keeping the count alive, symbolizing that revenge was his reason for living.
Albert hugged him or some shit and then the spike that was impaling his heart just barely, managed to go through.
Yeah, love conquers hate and whatever, but my problem is that it was from a tool like Albert
