Excellent Adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo"
"Gankutsuou" is one of the best anime I've ever seen: an adaptation that keeps the novel's themes and storylines intact while adding original material for the characters. Many "Monte Cristo" adaptations alter the novel's theme of "Vengeance is hollow and causes collateral damage" to "Vengeance is great", which severely changes how we view the characters' actions; this series follows the original theme. The unmoving patterns that comprise the characters' clothing, hair, and objects take some time to get used to, but all are carefully chosen to illustrate aspects of character or condition. The original music is excellent, as are the uses of existing music by Tchaikovsky and Donizetti, which fit the story and characters thematically. Every character is necessary and every scene pushes the narrative forward. Highly recommended.
