Ok somebody stop me, this is really getting better each episode it comes by. So, now i know that Eugiene and Albert are truly inlove, at first i was thinking: Fucking aristocrats. It was really sad to see that fucking fat of Eugenie's father to kick Albert like that.

Not to sound weird or anything, but how did Albert's dad change so dramatically in ten years? He looks almost nothing like his younger self. D:

Oh, I'm sorry, in that episode when they show the fighting at the war, it has been ten years ago, yes. But the changes in his appearance are not that drastic =) He just got grey hair, that's normal.

Wow ... just wow ... what an intense episode @_@! So Haidee reacted to Albert's father because he was one of those who betrayed her father and destroyed her life, wonder who Villefiore ends up shooting though =O

If thise were to follow how the story goes, I don't think Albert can have a good ending. His naivety acts as a double-edges sword to him.

This anime even does a great job of matching the PACING of the novel: a deliciously slow burn. You literally have ALL the pieces of the mystery in front of you, but there's no way you're ever going to put them all together correctly until the picture is almost complete.

The further down the rabbit hole you go, the stronger the pull.

Now we know why Haydee reacted freaked out the way she did when seeing Albert's father at the opera.

It seems Villefort is completely under the Count's grasp. And poor Haidee, I guess the Count reminded her of him and took her under his care. Awww :3
Albert you stupid brat *sigh*

That Gankutsuou segment was so trippy and surreal... it seems the Count's past is even more convoluted and trepidatious than I even suspected. Loved the scene with Haydee as well. The soundtrack was beautiful as always.

Oh so that was why what happened with Haydee did, okay.

I too kinda thought she really meant she was a puppet.

So Gankutsou conjoined with Edmond Dantes somehow when he was out in space, huh?

Loved finally learning about Haydee.

Franz being able to get access to those classified files was totally sweet! That Lucien Debra guy is still a sleaze, but a good friend.(Unlike their parents)

I hate all the politicians and their wives except for Debray. All the young people should hightail it out of there like Maximilian did with Valentine. I'm surprised they turned out such good people with terrible parents like that.

Pretty sure Albert got shot. I wonder if the count would ever start to care for him.

Yeah, I am thinking that it happened in prison. They say that Edmond Dantes died in the prison, but he most likely met Gankutsuou there.
I think that the Count actually cares, or will start to care about Albert.

Fascinating episode. Wonder if this takes place around 5000 AD or if that calendar system had a different starting point and isn't really comparable. Either way, the Count is over 1000 years old.

Now the political setup of this world presented in gankutsuo is getting a little bit clearer as we come to know of haidees past as well as the strike done by alberts father ten years ago.

The information gathering on 'gankutsou' was also really interesting but I would have appreciated it if they had explained that searching machine a bit more. The count has been imprisoned for over 1000 years so it seems.

The Count's pulling all the stops in sabotaging the big three. The Count immediately weaseled his way out of that seemingly inescapable situation by using Villefort's own estranged family against him. His persistence on carrying out his own justice cost him his job and dignity as a feared and revered prosecutor and family man. After milking Mondego out of all his money and ruining his chances of running for presidency, he convinced Danglars to invest in antimatter stocks in anticipation for the general's desperate expedition shifting the market against the banker's wishes in due time.

What an unusual way to Google stuff in the deep web~ The Parisian MILF Hunter has another purpose after all.

Haidee wanted to openly despise Albert for being a part of the family she and the Count swore vengeance to but he's too kind of a man to do that to. Benedetto got enraged by her false composure and accosted her much to the dismay of their master though. Villefort tried to assassinate him after losing everything but Albert went in for the save at the last second so I hope that this somehow changes his opinion towards the boy at least a little bit.

Watched that episode in 720p. YES, this is how I used to watch it on TV. I want the rest of the show that way.


I feel better watching it now. I wasn't really able to follow up with the magnificent revenge plot because of all the implicit mentions of affairs and a couple scenes. When I watched it on TV first it was a clean version. A very clean version. I prefer the clean version.

I lol'd when that secret government AI database literally exploded in their faces and they were yelling dramatically.

It's very impressive how the show keeps building and building and slowly improving at the same time. Every episode is better than the previous one, mixing multiple storylines in a cohesive whole. These cliffhangers are also making sure I keep watching lol

I've been thinking this more and more lately. While his actions seem sinister most of the time, it looks like the show is now slowly building toward a "the count is not bad but every one else is" storyline.

Yo Albert’s father seems like the worst one out of the three. He is willing to do anything it takes to get/hold on to power. Also, Albert is growing up with that selfless thinking. I like how the streets were more populated made the city seem more alive.

This sure escalated quickly, so many things giving revealed in one episode.
the secret library was my fav part really well done on that.

Haidee's family was betrayed by General Morcell, poor Haidee's mother all of her teeth were ripped out of her gum ;-;

Another masterpiece. This show is so unique and unlike anything else. The framing, shot composition, and overall cinematographer never ceases to impress; as well as the OST. I am very captivated. I cannot wait to watch the next episode.
