Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - Movie Trailer

[Baphomet600]

Movie trailer? ...rubbish.

[RoRo7147]

@Baphomet600 Obviously it isn't a movie but it is a trailer non the less

[Spenckem]

I really like this. Will probably show this to people who have not seen the anime yet in hopes to get them to see it.

Oh My Kami o.o There is an anime abou tthe count of Monte Cristo? I have the fucking book o.o ive just read the first chapter (of 117 chapters..)

[leafgilly1]

Now that I've seen the anime, I will definitely look into the book. I wonder which is better? It's hard to beat an anime as flawless as this. XD

@leafgilly1

I've been reading the book for years and watching the anime since it came out and I STILL can't decide which is better.

[PaperadiGomma123]

This Anime is AWESOME. It made me want to read the book, and it has 117 chapters :)

[BattosaiOfKansai]

I know its told from alberts point of view, and the festival they meet at is on the moon. I just got it as a birthday gift, but havent jumped in yet. love the original story though.

[okachoba]

this doesn't look anything like count of monte cristo.. what kind of twist did they put on it?

[SitaraAleu]

@okachoba

Where the book was told in Edmond's point of view, the anime is told in Albert's approximately 25 years after the events of the book, featuring him and his friends as main characters and side stories to add to the main story itself. It gives you some insight into characters that either didn't get much development or weren't even there to begin with. The only downside to be found is that it's almost banking on the fact that you've read the original book. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

[yaoifangirlful]

@deidrapiatak43

a website of sorts

[superearthbender]

Lazy animation. Makes the whole series unwatchable.

[leafgilly1]

@superearthbender I've actually looked into it, and I'm pretty sure that the animation was done that way on purpose to make it different. At first, it annoyed me to and turned me off, but it just the series more unique and memorable for me. Of course, that's just my opinion. XD

[superearthbender]

@leafgilly1 It's for a certain type of person. Too much detail in the series for me. It somewhat reminded me of watching The Twelve Kingdoms (which was very entertaining, despite the cryptic titles for everything one had to remember).

Thanks for the info, though. I wouldn't have guessed they'd make it *SUCK* ..(that way) on purpose. xP

[leafgilly1]

@superearthbender No problem. But you have to admit: the Count looks awesome with the animation! XD

what song did you use? is good

[SitaraAleu]

I don't know the name of the song myself, but it's by a group called Caveat Emptor who specialize in weird music. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for being the first to actually comment. ^_^
