| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Awesome episode! Man, I hope Valentine doesn't die. Also, I wonder if they'll discover who the the culprit is, since the only persons who knows, besides the Count, is Valentines grandfather who can't speak nor move (?). |
| Poor Valentine. She's one of the nicest characters I know of. So of course she gets poisoned. :| |

| I'm curious.. What was in the box that made Madame Danglars freak out? (sorry if you consider this necroposting, mwahha ^-^;;) |
| Noooooo Valentine- please... don't die!!! |
  |
| Crazy episode O_O from the last scene is it possible that Madame Danglars child or some memoir of the child is in the chest @_@? This is going in a weird direction. |

| The lemonade.... I feel so bad for Barrois. And M. Nortier knows what's going on, but he can't even speak. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| Did anyone else think the art and overall animation of this episode was a bit different from the others? I can see the art difference mostly in the eyes {for example, the Count's eyes were... bigger?}, and the animation difference mostly in the part where Bertuccio runs to the Count's side as Franz watches from the shadows. They seem very different from the normally straight-line animation and art in the previous episodes. Not to say I don't like it. This is one of my favorite episodes. I think the Count is just so cute! >w< Did anyone else notice it? What do you take of it? |
| good episode, but i didn't really understand some of it, i want to watch the next one! |
| I thought this was a poor episode. Many scenes were rushed and misplaced. |
Sickly_Grin said: I thought this was a poor episode. Many scenes were rushed and misplaced. In agreement. But very exciting still. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| And she's dead! Good episode though sad and mysterious ending! What's in that box? |
 |
| Poor innocent Valentine, although I felt just as bad for the grandfather. And I just realized, the voice of the count and Andrea are also respectively the same as the voices Kirei and Gilgamesh from Fate. Such a great duo of manly evil voices. |
Adramelech said: Poisun said: I'm curious.. What was in the box that made Madame Danglars freak out? (sorry if you consider this necroposting, mwahha ^-^;;) Probably the dead child of prosecutor and blue/green haired madame. I think so as well. |
 |
| "Thou art anathema!" Great episode here, but Sickly_Grin said: I thought this was a poor episode. Many scenes were rushed and misplaced. yes, it was. Captivating, it is. At least. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Am I the only one who thinks Franz maybe has feelings for Albert? no homo Knowing the Count, I won't be surprised if this killing of Valentine is a part of his plan.. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
skyzblue said: Am I the only one who thinks Franz maybe has feelings for Albert? no homo Knowing the Count, I won't be surprised if this killing of Valentine is a part of his plan.. Yeah I think so too. |
| The Count continues to maintain the status of ultimate badass. |
| Thou art anathema! This got confusing all of a sudden. Not 100% certain I understood everything that happened. I mean, first of all, who would buy the Count leaving on a "business trip" late at night right after everyone had left the party? :P And I also got the impression the one Franz has feelings for is Albert. |

| Yeah maybe Franz does like Albert, that'd be so damn adorableeeeee!!! :3 Poor Valentine. Yeah, who'd buy that two seconds after everyone left a party at their house they'd go on a business trip. I was like "no he didn't, no one would do that" lol. Poor Albert too. |
 |
| How does Albert factor into the count's plans? I'm wondering if it has to do with him being the son of his mother. Poor Valentine. And her grandfather was crying because he knew she was poisoned too. I could tell they were very close. So sad. :( Poor Franz as well. Also what's with the zombie baby? If that is what is in the box. |

| Another good episode, still wonder what Count is gaining from all this. |
 |
| Man, its been a long time since i've seen an anime being intense af like that. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I'm at least a little bit certain Franz has feelings for Albert considering whenever Albert brings up the topic of love, Franz starts staring at Albert and getting vague. Don't need anything overt but hints here and there are nice haha. I really hope Valentine doesn't die though. Like what's the deal with her mother? Even the Count doesn't seem to like her much. |
 |
| The show is getting darker with each episode, though a lot of things are missing, and why the poison had an effect on the servant and not much on Valentine? |
| Loving how the seeds that the Count are planting in each of them are sprouting |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I hope that Valentine won't die. |
 |
| =( At this rate it seems like Val and Max's relationship might not have a happy ending. I hope she's okay... |
 |
| Franz, after all that low-key baiting, don't tell me you actually feel that way for Albert... No wonder he has no interest towards women. He's all for that bromance~ Hell, the closest romantic encounter Albert's ever had since the beginning of the anime was with a dude. I'm so pissed off towards that godforsaken bitch Heloise. She unintentionally did Albert in when she left the poisoned pitcher in the open like that and she actually had the gall to poison Valentine right in front of her grandfather like that. The old man saw the butler dying before his very eyes, his granddaughter being in severe condition, and the whore who did it peeking through the glass at the corner of his eye. He looked like he was very traumatized by the incident but his inability to talk might make it impossible for the truth to come out. Way to ruin everything for everyone else. Even the Count's sick of your clingy shit. Looks like the thing in the box was actually a dried Villefort bastard all along, oof. Wonder what his glowing forehead's got to do with anything. |
 |
| I guess Valentine is the illicit child Gangkutsuo mentioned in the end. |
| I hope she doesn't die. She was the most genuine and non-corrupted character. |

| This was a pretty dark episode. I feel bad for the Grandpa who had to watch it all while being unable to speak at all. On another note, the Count holding the box in the rain, looked like an absolute sigma male. |
 |
| Lol the Gankutsuou title never been so chad. I liked when his henchman supported Gankutsuou with undying loyalty. Also the murderer from the first episode snooping on the spy and the executioner. Perhaps it is all staged. I was expecting him to almost break into a niconiconii pose by this point. by god this man has got utter trauma potential.  I still need to know what the hell happened to Eugene. Also the Gilgamesh expy before there was Gilgamesh says he knows more about the count than Albert does. And there is even talk of Franz and love, which I think is pretty suggestive. Jeez, u can't get any more BL than this. There is still a huge mystery on what is the terrible secret of the room and half the questions posed are not even close to answering but by god, it is interesting AF. Gankutsuou is pretty much a captivating charmer and he is pretty entertaining. Next episode, will Valentine survive or will she die in order for the BL pairings to take root? |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Same as in the book, new blonde is a son of these 2 that they tried to bury (in that exact box I guess). Also, damn Albert has way more luck with men than with women :) |
| I hate everyone equally |
| All this queer moments make me want to rewatch Utena even more |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Also, as far as I remember, the poison given to Valentine was fake and she survived. Count has no intention of purposely hurting children of his enemies. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| That was amazing. What a wonderful episode. Pathetic Fallacy with Rain is always the best thing. Classical music as the OST really elevated the richness of the last scene. Amazing. |
 |
| It's crazy how much trust Albert has in the Count. I mean, the incident happened at the Count's place, so I think it's normal for him to suspect the Count as a possible perpetrator (despite the fact that it really wasn't him). I know that Valentine is not an outstanding character, but I also don't expect her to be the first character to die/suffer here. Meanwhile, Valentine's stepmother is completely attached to the Count, she keeps approaching him in every chance she gets. Both Eugenie and Valentine, these girls have shit families. |
