Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - Complete Collection (DVD, 2004 Geneon)

Description: Run time ‏ : ‎ 10 hours Subtitles: ‏ : ‎ English Studio ‏ : ‎ Geneon [Pioneer] Albert and his friend Franz are young aristocrats enjoying Carnival on the Moon. There, Albert meets and befriends the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo. Some say he's an alien, some say he's a monster, some even say he's a vampire. The truth is, he's a man (more or less) out for revenge. Albert and Franz return to their native France, and Albert introduces the Count to Parisian society. The plot unfolds over the course of 24 half-hour (well, 22 minute) episodes, but there's enough going on that the story doesn't drag (well, not too much). The loveless arranged engagements of the young aristocrats and the machinations of their parents provide additional subpolts. The anime is surpisingly close to the original novel by Dumas. Nearly all of the large cast of characters and most of the main plot points of the novel are included in the anime. The main deviations are: being set 3000 years in the future, the exact nature of the Count, and the final fates of the main characters. Plus, we don't get the Count's back history until much later in the series.
