| @Apollo18 Sorry if I outraged you. The roman numbers are just a writing habit to abridge my notes in classes. As for the question, it was sincere and came from the fact I didn't understand what you meant by pretentious at the time. |
| Franz is an absolute mad lad. What a tweest. Albert's scream at the end was heartbreaking. Personally could've done without the mecha battle (it somehow felt very out of place), but it was still a great episode. Can't believe Franz is gone... |

| Of course Franz sacrifices himself for his friend who never listens to his advice... |
Apollo18 said: Lol at people complaining about the mechs. I've been pretty luke-warm on this series from the start- the mechs were the best part of Gankutsuou for me (not that I'm into mechs, but at least *something* engaging was happening on the screen). The art is nice, and the unique styling is... unique. I don't hate the styling/weird colouring in the seies- I feel like it could work in another context. But this show is so boring and pretentious, it just feels flowery and over-done. Pretty much this. This has been the best episode so far. The show isnt even deep, the dialogue is all pretty standard. But they are speaking with French aristocrat "accents" so I guess that means this anime is for the big brained culture people only. This anime has been a joke so far and really showing that the people rating it a 10 are the definition of dunning kruger brainletism. |
| Can't believe it, Franz :( |

| wait what he is 16?? Always thought they are all older. like mid 20s |

| The mech fight was heart wrenching to see Franz losing his limbs one after another my eyes were full of tears, and it fell lose when he started recalling his past. Rest in Peace friend you stayed true till the end. |
| This episode left me in mourning... I wish Franz would have told Albert his feelings ... That was heartbreaking. |
| Everyone is talking about Franz's death, but here I am thinking about how they fought in mechs... bruh. |

| That was a pretty solid mech fight. Not the best visually but the tone of the fight and the after-realization that its not actually Albert in the cockpit was quite chilling. I'm just laughing at the stupidity of some of the people here who think mechs are out-of-place in a setting where people can travel light-years. |
 |
| Great episode. I found the whole Franz thing to be a bit predictable, but it was executed well. At first I was confused about the need to use those giant mechs, but now I understand. The series isn't as good as it was in the middle, but it's still fucking great nevertheless. The Protagonist's stupidity is starting to get to me. Franz died because of him. Fucking hell Albert, get your shit together. |
 |
| The duel in mechs, really? Sadly it damaged the overall mood of this otherwise great and fairly emotional episode. |
| I see. Your only option is to revolutionize the world. |
| I didn't care about the mecha anymore because my body was already shaking, I swear, I had a feeling Franz would die but now I SEE him REALLY die? Fuck. That's the most shittiest shit ever. He was my favorite besides Maximilien. I'm furious! If Albert is still in denial then he's crazy! If you think about it, the ones who betrayed Edmond Dantes were Albert's, Valentine's and Eugenie's father. So why did Franz die first?! Argh. Why didn't the Count check who the mecha pilot was first? Also there's still a bit of time where the Count's servants see Albert running, which means they know that it's not Albert that the Count is going to kill. So how does it go now? |
