Gankutsuou

The main male protagonists feels kinda similar (Shinji and Albert), like in childish.
We can also see many similarities in The Count of Monte Cristo and Gendou, both have an objective which surpasses everything and for which one decided still living.
Both are set in a futuristic future, both have mecha battles (but in Gankutsuou is only 1 episode or 2).
Both have great character development and complex stories.
Gankutsuou is less action oriented although and the pass is more slow.
