hehe, I probably won't watch it anyway, I can't stand those pascal colours. While the style shines originality, it hurts my eyes too much

Try watching an episode or two, the colors are honestly not that bad. I mean it's not like it causes seizures or anything and you'll hardly notice it later on.

I guess I'll give it a shot. *Proceeds to hunt down ed2k link*

If you really feel that the colors are going to bother you, wear sunglasses while you watch

Well that's good news for you then Raziel, the anime is based on the story of the Count of Monte Cristo and it's rather good.

listening french without the accent

the count of Monte Cristo is one fable that everyone enjoys because of the struggle (where did i saw this before?) of one man against the ones who did him bad

The books is so famous cause it was the first vengance story and it was a good one.

Yeah i probably will start it. Seriously, I think the count (according to the book) is one subtle badass. He is so damn manipulative and has so much patience with his plan for vengeance. I mean he has been planning this whole thing for almost a decade. He really is the best character from a book i've known. I really should start this anime, shame i have along list of shit to watch/read.

Then you will love this count cause he is so manipulative and he really takes his time with the vengance.

libaax:I'm guessing though that the count will still be unparalleled in the book compared to the anime (i havent watched it yet tho). I dont think it was the first vengeance story, think Hamlet.

eldo: not only that but he was also falsely accused and lost possession of the title Captain which he just recently acquired.

The count in the book is great but he isnt as mysterius as this count.

The only thing that annoys me is that Albert has bigger role than the count unlike the book.

The reason for this is because I think they want to emphasize on the relationship between the Count and Albert.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 1:33 am

But why???

Speciely the last 2,3 eps has been almost count free and all about Albert and his lady.....

Post by **mrJotaan** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 1:39 am

I'll tell you why in a pmsg on irc as to not ruin it for others.

Post by **mrJotaan** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 2:55 am

I just read an interview with the creator and he said that the reason why they focus a lot on Albert is because the Count wants him dead but Albert is like what the Count used to be when he was younger. So I guess I was right, it's about the relationship between the Count and Albert but they said it's also from the perspective of Albert to make the Count more appealing, to make him out to be more than a dark hero.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 12:15 pm

Making the count more appealing like that is working.

Post by **Dark_Zilo** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 4:17 pm

i think they just want to set up a good ending
focusing on Albert and his problems makes one feel sympathy for him
also the count hasn't shown all his cards. he is seting Albert (Albert already thinks higher of the Count than his own father) to better carry out his vengeance
in the end it will be a shock that noone can live happily ever after after seing the stories of these characters develop (maybe the producers have something different installed for the ending)
