Rating: - Classic turned Futuristic
A classic story turned futuristic. The Count a mysterious figure that rocks everyones world, who becomes involved with him. I enjoyed everything about this series. If you've read the story you'll see. Does revenge tastes sweet once extracted or cold.

Even the people get too close for comfort get ruined ... Read More

In the second volume of Gankutsuou, Mahiro Maeda's (Blue Submarine #6) dark twist to the literary classic "The Count of Monte Cristo," the story continues to slowly unfold as the Count begins to pinpoint all those responsible for his past. Though this volume contains no action, this series continually gets better and deeper as the intrigue plays out around all of the characters. This series is carried by excellent plotting and it's risk-taking style of animation.
In this volume, the characters ... Read More
