Description: Death is certain, its hour uncertain--- The Count's vicious net of vengeance is closing in, and everything Albert has ever known is crumbling around him! First, Villefort is stripped of power, leaving him dangerously unstable. Next, General Morcerf's presidential campaign and place in Parisian society is utterly ruined by Haidee's shocking declaration. To make matters worse, Eugenie gets engaged to a new man, Franz suddenly leaves on a secretive trip, and Beauchamp is the journalist who exposed the Morcerf scandal to the world! Who is there left for Albert to trust? Will he finally discover what role The Count has played in destroying the lives of the people Albert has always known?
A work of art The entire Gankutsuou series is worth any anime-lover's attention. The animation is like nothing ever seen or used before, it is completely innovative and overflowing with artistic brilliance. The soundtrack is incredible, sometimes mixing the most unlikely of genres, like techno and opera. And the story itself is classic literature with a twist (personally one of my favorite classics of all time; who can resist a tale of revenge?). The only disappointment may be to fans of the book who are expecting the original ending. But this show is absolutely your money's worth. ~A
Wowser!!! With this volume, the series is more than half done. Even if you think Albert is a bit of a idiot, he finally understands that something evil is happening shortly after this volume begins. He knows, but can't see how it's all happening until. . . Well, it's really, really, suspenceful. The animation is still something to behold-watch for a journey through cyberspace,another into the mind of an old man and on the Count's ship in outer space. This is one of the best anime series I've ever seen. It's been two days since I saw this volume and am still thinking about it. It requires a few viewings to take it all in. This series is meant for grown-ups who are looking for a story and art design that appeals to adults because it's themes and story line are more interesting to adults than to children or some teens.
