| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Having a pirate sword battle.... in a sci-fi Anime? How.... different. o_o And does Albert have to blush every 10 seconds and then turn ferocious a few seconds later? He acts too girl-y for my tastes. =/ Nothing else about this episode really struck me as too interesting. >.> |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| I wonder wtf is the Count thinking. I dunno if sympathize with him or just shoot him on the head. Anyway yeah, Albert is too fucking pussy sometimes, is not the pirate fight on a sci-fi anime, what else could you have done if you were engaged on a fight and the only weapon is a sword? ... obviusly to fight with it. |
| I'm really not fond of Albert. He's really naïve, hopefully he will grow out of it. StabbyPWNS said: Albert wants to be a tsundere? /shotAnd does Albert have to blush every 10 seconds and then turn ferocious a few seconds later? He acts too girl-y for my tastes. =/ |

| Yeah, Albert is kinda being a little pussy. His Mother, Mercédès Morcerf, is GORGEOUS! Although this episode didn't give us too much info, it is definitely leading up to something.... |
  |
| This episode was ... weird @_@ I found the exchange between Albert and the soldier hilarious for some reason, "Take it back" "I can't" x 10000 @_@ |
| meh the fight was kinda retarded.. and the reason also.. way too fastpaced.. now they were talking, and the next second they were yelling lol |
| Oh my goddess, that Count is just beautiful!! I don't care if he's blue, with one green eye and one red eye and pointy ears...I'd TOTALLY date him!! |
 |

   |
| Alright, I knew it was Haydee |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| Okay the count is obviously evil and that maid needs to die. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Dat duel with the pirate. It was a nice episode with the soundtrack mixed in although I find the ending of the duel in which Albert tried to take a cheap shot kinda lame. |
 |
| the dialogue in this anime is amazing well lets see how it goes and what plans the count has :] |
 |
| Haydee <3! A chick like that is just what was missing in Mononoke. Nice count-cave btw. I say this every ep, but they really did a handsome work with the textures and colors. It makes me want to keep hitting pause and just stare at the thing, but I tried and it's bad for the narration... |
 |
| Decent episode, quite weird take on some points but still nice, I still wonder what relation the count and his mother have but yea lets see what's next! |
 |
| I have the feeling this show is going to end sad... |
| Me too. Theory |
xxshiawase said: I have the feeling this show is going to end sad... Yep, has the feeling of a tragedy. |
 |
| (rewatching) Swordfight! Arr matey! Albert doesn't want to believe his parents didn't marry for love. |
  |
| Decent episode. Albert, grow up son *sigh* 3.5/5 |

| Can Albert like, not be such a fuck head in every scene. |
| Albert looks like the perfect character for a yaoi :3 |
 |
| The reason for that fight was dumb, but I have to remember that it makes sense in the setting of the anime. I don't understand the hate Albert is getting, tbh. He seems fine to me. And hey, he's the only one who likes the Count, so he deserves points for that if nothing else... right? |

| (watched yesterday and came on here but forgot to add it! D:) I thought it was great, very fun sword fight scene although ended weird. The Count saved him from the maybe or maybe not dream. Don't confuse me man lol. Lol yeah Albert would be perfect for yaoi lol. |
 |
| Lol they sailed into Alice in Wonderland. ...or Coraline. Albert just accepts that he has slaves so casually. :/ That fight escalated so unnaturally quickly, it was happening in two blinks. I think Albert's fiance likes him. |
| A bit of mind influence. Fairly good episode, nothing amazing yet. |
 |
| This episode was quite different from the rest - it wasn't as calm. The events came suddenly and albert as well as maximilian were getting too passionate about their opinions. This reaction was kind of unexpected and also felt kind of wrong since we aren't too familiar with their general opinions on life yet. The count on the other hand seems to provoke these kind of events. The dialogue between the count and albert in the cave was really deep and I'm liking the way the count refers to relationships etc. |
 |
| Holy crap, that scene with the argument and the duel between Albert and Max was so frustrating! It was like the creators took the base level of cheesiness and suddenly turned it up to 110. I know it was kind of important because it showed how the Count is able to manipulate the emotions of people, but it just kept going on and on. I hope scenes like that won't come up again. Oh, and Albert doesn't irritate me because he "acts too girly". That sort of thing wouldn't be a problem for me, anyway. Heck, if his character were a girl, I would find her annoying, too. Those "doll" characters also annoyed me. Especially the girl, and how she's just glad to be useful. I really hope these dolls are in the story for a legit reason, because I don't like this whole servitude without a question concept. In my experience, this show is just not very good at organic exposition. Either everything is explained way too fast, or it's beaten into my skull three times. For example, it wasn't enough that the count revealed info about Haydee to Albert. No, Albert just had to have her tell him the same thing again because he's that dense. On the positive side, there were a lot of beautiful shots in this episode, and the rest of the episode was more to my taste. The cheesefest in the middle at least made me appreciate the art even more. I also liked how the Count compared his heart to his castle. I'm not sure why he identified their meeting as the work of fate. Maybe he had planned everything so he and Albert would meet on the Moon for the first time exactly as they did. |

| Yeh the Count's got these people in his pocket |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I don't find Albert too annoying. More like pitiful. The maid is the one that is annoying me. And so far, I'm not really into this anime yet. For now I am kind of confused where this drama is heading and all of these scenes that feel almost random. |
 |
| Albert is acting like a spoiled brat. |
 |
| i mean, albert was raised by spoiled brats, so the only life he knows is to be a spoiled brat but yeah, he's a prick |
| Compared to how amazing the previous four episodes was, this was pretty weak, shit happened way too quickly, especially Albert's change of mood. However, I like how things were set up, Albert's mom clearly has some deal with the Count and maybe his relationship with Eugene will develop. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| A lovely little boatride in the Count's little abode went sour when they started discussing about the superficiality of aristocratic marriages when Albert kept wondering why Haidee's happy having that kind of relationship with the Count. Maximilien's pissed off that Valentine's going to be wedded off to someone who doesn't love her and will just run off with his just as uncaring friends on luxurious excursions and ended up generalizing the French aristocracy while he's at it. Max and Valentine could go have an affair and Franz probably won't give a damn but everyone else will definitely make things a lot more complicated if they did. Albert wants to completely deny Max's claims but all he could do was to pretend that he doesn't think its true even if the possibility of his mother's heart being in another place is quite high given how she's been acting as of late. I would've figured that a duel over that would be so 4000 years ago but they have that much time to spend it like that apparently. The Count must be revelling in all this "Albert's no product of love" business, I must say~ Things got carried away but the Count saved him and shared a little more info about himself. It looks like his previous relationship wasn't meant to be because of his inability to express human emotions as naturally as a real human would or his inability to continue on his legacy (not like there's any need for that because he's immortal and all but those nights in bed must've been very cold for her). The whole incident got him questioning his own relationship with Eugenie but he stormed off when his mother who didn't do anything to help ward off his suspicions came in. I hope that he at least tries to be a better man for his fianceé. |
 |
| The spoiled brat keeps getting bullied by hardcore reality. Count Monte Cristo sure makes more interested in the show. Eugine deserves a better Fiance. |
| So far, not much to say. I'm still waiting for that episode where it fully captivates the views. |

| A battle between Maximillian and Albert originating from whether or not aristocrats love their fiancees. There is a high chance his mother loved the Count but because of political and social reasons, had to marry someone else. So that's the revenge, I suppose. |
 |
| What a masterpiece. The dialogue is phenomenal, so is the directing. The art is, needless to say, brilliant and artistic. I love where this is going. I do not know what makes me like this series this much, but well I do. So here I am. Let's see how this progresses. |
