Gankutsuou: The Count Of Monte Cristo
Recently finished watching this anime sci-fi adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' Count Of Monte Cristo. It's quite good. I haven't read the novel (though I have it), so I can't say how it stacks up to the original. Couldn't help but notice that with all the technology on display, there was almost no telecommunicating between the characters, which was probably a direct reflection of the original story, written in the 1800's.
The series is 24 episodes long and took me maybe about two weeks to watch (if that long) on my PSP.
Didn't care too much for the opening song, parts of the melody, as sung, sounded a little off to me. Other than that, Gankutsuou was great. Well written, well performed and well animated (lone exception for the CGI).
