| Hands-down the most brilliant art I've ever seen in an anime. I'm incredibly excited for the rest of this. |
 "I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited." ― Jorge Luis Borges [url=]Goodreads[/url] | [url=]Letterboxd[/url] |
| Thats what we call a hidden gem |
| His worse just became worst. |
| Nakata Jouji is a perfect seiyuu for the Count. All of the voice acting has been well fit so far. Reading the original novel is gonna give a nice perspective while watching this. Seeing the classic story in a stylized futuristic setting will be interesting. Let's see how the themes come across here. |

| It's rather difficult to get used to everyone being a moving Klimt or Schiele painting, but otherwise the anime looks very interesting. I love the original story of Dumas but this anime appears to be very loosely based on it.. Both the two young friends, Franz and Albert, are rather naive but Albert is the naivety champion. It was interesting that neither of them realized (even after the fact) that the 3-card "game" was 100% rigged : All 3 cards had the initials of the killer of 10, since that was who the Count wanted to pardon in order to manipulate Albert and have him feel awful - and thus render him even more susceptible to further manipulation. If the Count had written all three initials there was a 66.6% chance the killer of 10 would not have been chosen, and he could not have that. Checking the other two cards would have verified that the "game" was rigged instantly.. |

| Intriguing so far. The only personal complaint I have is the subtitle font style. It's hard to keep up with. |

| The art style and the aesthetic have hooked me in for sure. So has the Count's character and the fact that he might be a corpse. The clothes are also a pleasure to view. |
 |
| Good first episode. Really liked it. The art and colours are psychedelic and very unique, though the facial character designs are quite standard. There are some tropes, the nature of the main character, the main character getting annoyed of the side character being annoyed, a girl who's a trap. But oh well, I heard incredibly unique things about this series so it should get better. Also that ED, it's so fucking trippy. Loved it. |
 |
| The art style combined with the weird cgi backgrounds heavily remind me of this image. |
 |
| I've never read the novel so I don't know anything about the story but it's a lot more fun than I expected. The Count has an alluring and charming aura, his voice is also very pleasing to the ear. On the other hand, Albert is also quite interesting and I think he's the type of person who is quite fearless, in the sense that he hardly has any "anxious" feelings even when it's his first meeting with The Count. I kind of... still can't get along with Albert's nature, naive, too easy and tend to be childish... but let's see how his relationship with The Count goes in the future. |
 |
| A very interesting introduction to the count leaning into the Callous and Cold Aristocrat Character the art style is visually striking being similar to something like that of Gustav Klimt with abstract and exotic patterns the setting and world being like a Futuristic Venetian Carnival |
