Member Review
I dont understand how the heck this anime get such a low score... It might be different from almost all other animes but i viewed that as a good thing... This anime is truly lacking some of the realistic drawings, and the happy colors that some anime have.. But this is truly the best textured anime ever. Every where you look is a piece of art. So if you are a fan of renesance art and such, this anime would be sweet juices of heaven :P. This anime deserves a 100/10 for creativity, and the story is truly amazing as well; the hardships of the nobel, and how they deal with it.

Characters
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo
A mysterious nobleman living in luxury. The Count's previous identity was Edmond Dantès, a sailor who worked for the Morrel family's shipping company. Edmond was imprisoned in the Château d'If on false charges, and there it was that he met Gankutsuou. In exchange for the strength and means to gain revenge, he allowed the cold-blooded demon to possess him. Because of Gankutsuou, he is afflicted with an odd condition which causes his body to be crystalline, revealing his bones and internal organs.


Vicomte Albert de Morcerf
A naïve sixteen-year-old, Albert encounters the Count while vacationing on the moon colony, Luna. Taken in by the Count's poise, sophistication, and mystique, Albert serves as a tool for the Count to immerse himself in Parisian society. His naïveté is his defining flaw, blinding him to others' faults and intentions. Nonetheless, his purity of spirit penetrates the hearts of others.
