This anime is getting so good!
I wonder why Albert's and Eugenie's engagement was canceled. And I wonder if she's going to fall for Andrea (at least it seems she's about to).

Albert is such a chump, its hilarious watching him be so witless, especially during his conversations with the count. Everything just flies over his head.

I just love how Albert is so sure about the Count's pure intentions (for now at least)...
makes the whole thing much more interesting that he trusts him so much.
And now he is starting to being seriously involved in the Count's game, feeling the side effects.. with Eugenie being snatched away from him and all. Although I'm sure he'll keep trusting the Count no matter what! Oh how I love this oxymorous! ^^

His obliviousness and ignorance is starting to get on my nerves too. XD It's kind of sad how much trust and faith he puts in the Count... since we all know the Count's going to be the one responsible for his downfall - well, if he eventually has a downfall, at least. At least Franz has a brain - and is actively using it.

So sad that the engagement was cancelled though! Hope Albert doesn't just sit on his butt while "Andrea" steals Eugenie away or something.

If the one thing I'm thinking of from the book got transferred in regards to her, she wouldn't run away with him haha but I haven't seen any reference to it, so it may have been discarded.

look at how evil a man can get. sometimes, u really question on whether revenge is really unnecessary or not.
Engagement cancelled! The Cavalcanti guy really want to do it again, after being made used by none other than his own'savior', Gankutsuou, in the first episode.

And finally when Albert seemed to have grown some feelings towards Eugenie...he's naive and unlucky. Poor basterd.
I guess that blonde asshole paid Eugenie's dad buckets of cash.
All the characters are pretty much messed up (reminds me of NGE.)

Albert is such a clueless fuck. Isn't he the least bit suspicious of the Count? The fact that Franz even voiced his suspicions should make Albert skeptical of him.

The hate for Albert in this thread is ridiculous. What good reason does he really have to distrust the Count? I'm watching the bloody series as an outsider witnessing everything and still trust the Count. :D

Amusing how as soon as he begins to feel he might actually be falling in love with Eugene, his engagement with her is ended, and for seemingly no reason at that. Maybe Eugene's father ended it due to persuasion from that blonde kid...?

Ah man, it's so nice to see that Valentine's psychotic stepmother will be done away with. Good thing her father isn't as clueless as Albert, eh?

The count just wants to avenge his own death. "Bide your time and hold out hope."
And Albert IS clueless, but only because he probably feels the good aura and karma and whatever of count's :D

Poor Albert, he finally realises he actually does have feelings for Eugenie only to be told they are no longer engaged.

Poor Albert is too trusting of people especially of the Count. I mean he did see him hit on a married woman.

That scene where madame helois was going nuts was pretty intense. She's been ruined because she had listened to the 'voice of devil' and let her inner desires overcome herself.

It's also been revealed that mercedes apparently didn't marry out of love in the first place- this in return has a great impact on albert who's already growing suspicious of how the relationships between those aristocrats are.

I can't help but pity Heloise. She was married to such a ruthless man and was seen only as a commodity for his reputation. One could even say that her marriage to him was a poison that slowly gnawed at her sanity.

As for Franz & Albert, it's somewhat fascinating how they're so divided on the Count's secret precisely because they're unaware that the other knows it for different reasons.

Heloise trying to pin the blame on Franz even more for manhandling her happened to give them an opportunity to make a hectic escape before the cops got there. Good thing Albert was there to provide on-the-spot support. Fleeing to Marseilles was a really dumb move though since it's become a favorite destination of Villefort just recently.

The Villefort Bitch might've been the one who carried out the dastardly deeds but the one who instigated and secretly orchestrated all of it was the Count and Franz is very suspicious of the mysterious character who happened to have very specific cures in his inventory. Albert getting poisoned was more of an undesirable and unforeseen outcome, that's why he cured him immediately. I have no sympathy for her even if she did all of this for her son to get the inheritance because of her constant mistreatment of her stepdaughter and her father-in-law, not to mention her eagerness to poison them to get all the money. They're lucky enough to have a gigantic luxurious roof over their heads but it just wasn't enough, huh?

Seeing Heloise get mentally destroyed by Crown Prosecutor Villefort with facts and logic was one of the more satisfying outcomes I've seen in a very long while. That cold gaze from the man was straight out of Hellsing and that delivery of her life sentence in a mental ward was legendary. Edouard's gonna piss that bed one last time before he ends up in the streets the morning after, that brat.

Euginea and Albert seems to be in better terms nowadays but all it took for the Danglars to change their mind about the engagement was an ocean of flowers from the dastardly pretty boy. He only started to care when it was too late...

It was quite satisfying to see Valentine's stepmother become like that. She deserves it~

That Andrea is a real piece of shit. I don't think he really likes Eugenie, and since the first time he appeared (the scene where he saw Albert from the car window) he seemed to dislike Albert, I wonder why. I think he's doing this just to make Albert feel defeated.

This episode showed us all why it was a huge mistake to make Albert the mc.

This boy is beyond dumb, the count half-told Albert that he is the author of all the thing that's happening, but of course Albert is so blind when it comes to the count that even when his best friend confesses his doubts about the count, he can't see what he really is, but only what he wants to see.

Why they made a second rate character in the book the mc is beyond me. That plus so many other "small" changes they made in the sake of "diversity & inclusion", Franz & Beppo I am looking at you/talking to you. Made this project for me at least a so, so one.

I love the book, it is one of my favorite books, I've read it from start to finish 4 times in my life and this project promised so much and up to now (for me up to episode 12) hasn't delivered much, besides amazing graphics design/colors that is.
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣
