| One of my favorite shows that I started watching this late summer and just ended today, have seen this anime few times back then on TV, I never even gave it a glance because of the art style alone, looking back how stupid I was... either way I wouldn't have understood the plot like now solid 8.5/10 from me. The epilogue could have been done better if they showed the whole cast together in the meeting they had planned that's just what I think, let's not forgot that letter that was hidden behind Mercedes painting in the hallway, when Albert mentioned that Edmond was there the whole time way before was born that was my favorite part. I feel upset to say good bye to this show, good bye Edmond Dantes your role was totally the best. |
| And with this the masterpiece ended. The show was absolutely amazing and had me hooked in from the beginning. It's been quite a while since I finished a show this fast. If only it hadn't been for the penultimate episode, this would have been an easy 10/10. |

| Putting Edmond's and Fernand's graves right next to each other ? Jesus, learn a little tact. Overall, 6/10. The last few episodes weren't that strong. |

| My 100th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it an 8/10 rating. |
| It was a nice ending. Everyone alive has moved on with their lives. And peppo became a supermodel?! Did not expect that at all. A solid 7/10. Loved it |
Pewdie said: I think it was a beautiful ending, filler or not. Yo, its Pewdiepie again. As for my thought overall, I was disappointed. I was expecting one of the greatest revenge animes; however, it didn't quite deliver. I mean, what was so spectacular about the revenge? Everyone has their own opinion. So overall, it's either between a 3-7/10. Idk, I still haven't fully processed what I'd watched. |

| Baptistin is alive and well, and maximilien and valentine are together, that's all I could've asked for. I usually only rate based on my own enjoyment, and in that case this would get a 7 or an 8. But damn the way that this was made, it just deserves the 10, so a 10 it gets. Only gripe I had, which is only a nitpick really, is that the upbeat punk rock style ED ruined the mood of several of the episodes which ended on a somber note. And personally I would've gone for a more somber ending after all. A happy ending is great, but I don't think it fits thematically with the rest of the series which is about lies and deceit and murder and just the general evil of mankind's heart. Everyone here is saying they wish it had ended with the last episode, episode 23, instead having this epilogue. Going to have to watch it again quickly, just to see if it provides a satisfactory wrap-up. If it does, then more is left open to interpretation by the viewer, and it ends on a more somber note which is more fitting as a whole for the series. Man would it have just sealed the deal if they ended with the "Kaishou" motif. That alone is probably what's making me give this a 10, lol |

| Loved this tale of revenge. An amazing experience. That said, it should have timed its EDs better. |

| Lets start with the fact that it was my first time hearing about the Count of Monte Cristo, so I can't compare it to the novel/movie/any other adaption, so it isn't biased opinion. I didn't like the unique art style, but it was okay for me until the horrible CGI Mech battles, when besides the terrible CGI, the mech battles felt out of place (and I dislike mechas in general). About the story, the first half was fun and decent (besides Albert), but then it started to get downhills from there: cringeworthy moments, cliches, the "hug" that saved it all, and things that make no sense, like when Fernand shot his wife and son, and episode later he was afraid for his son to get shot by the Count and offered his live instead. Was debating between 5/10 or 6/10 (5.5/10 will be the perfect score), so I ended up giving it 6/10 for the fun first half. |
| A dawdling and boring epilogue. A lot about ths war between earth and "the Empire" that was never important during the entire rest of the series and especially has nothing to do with the Count or his quest for revenge. In general I don't see the point of it beng fve years later, or why Maximilien or Albert have been gone from eath the entire time other than to contrive reunion scenes. The concept of the series seems to be The Count of Monte Cristo but with revenge as a sinister and dehumanizing force rather than a just and vindicating one; this is an interesting idea but once the series diverges from the novel and cannot lean on Dumas’ shoulder any longer it stumbles badly in pacing and content and just becomes another blunt anime drama with lots of screaming and twists that don't make much sense. |
| A very fitting ending to this series. Would have been better if they showed the Party, as well as Albert and Eugenie meeting each other. But oh well. Overall, this series built up to being a masterpiece but ended up letting me down towards the end. I've got to say, I had extremely high expectations and I was slightly disappointed. But well 9/10. |

| Nice adaptation for a slightly above average book, the mecha stuff was weird asf and production values were low sadly, yet the plot compensates a lot of the flaws, I thought this was going to be a melodramatic shithole like Sangatsu no Lion but gladly the characters here had charisma and charm, even Albert who was going through his coming-of-age arc wasn't bad at all, unlike most of the trash MC's in coming-of-age's. I thought the end was a bit off but that's ok, the OP song was kinda poetic, I enjoyed it through the show, lovely song. Overall, isn't a perfect show, the plot and characters carry it a lot while animation and art-style are subpar, 6.5/10. I must say though, that while the plot is good, it is far from perfect, this adaptation took somee liberties for the bad and the good, the mecha parts were definitely unnecessary and some resolutions were dubious at minimum. |

@stationry i know that feeling, having watched this one for the fifth time...skipping episode 23 is a perfect finale itself. I bloody hate 24 and it tarnishes the hood will of the rest...almost. still too happy and cheesy and hollow without the count imo.
