Gankutsuou is an anime loosely based on the novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. It tells the story of Albert Morcerf, a young aristocrat who happens to befriend a wealthy nobleman, The Count of Monte Cristo, through a series of bizarr…e events. Fascinated by the Count's charm, Albert invites him to meet his friends and family, all of whom happen to be part of the upper class society of Paris, France. Unfortunately, little does Albert realize that the Count has ulterior motives in mind.
I'd recommend it for its visual style and an elegant revenge that Albert takes too long to recognize in front of his eyes.
It's a good fit if you're looking for classic drama, science fiction and aristocracy.
Unlike other adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo, it tells the revenge from the innocence of the next generation and uses still textures that make each shot unique.
