Just finished watching Gankutsuou. Brain melting from ears, need to re-read Count of Monte Cristo. Either my memory is messing with me or some of Franz's hallucinations made it into the anime, and the really messed up sexualities is screwing with my mind. I'm pretty sure Eugenie was a lesbian and Franz was straight, dammit, need to re-read book to confirm. I am in love with the anime, will definitely blah about it once I have gotten enough sleep.

Other news: Watched all of the Clone Wars cartoon series, and omfg, it is really, really, really good. The Mace Windu episode kicks much arse, and seriously, it is no wonder Anakin turned, he just does not get a break.

Australia day was good, livejournal hates me, and RL is crazy. Sleep now.

ETA: The anime's version of the Count is so much more awesome than that of the book. His motivations and his thoughts are so unclear to the audience, I always thought that the book made him too easy to read. LOVE the anime!!!

So Gankutsuou is worth it? It looked really interesting and I wanted to buy it, but I wasn't sure. o.o Most people I poke about it have no clue what it is, so I'm glad someone watched it!

YES! YES! YES! This need to be SEEN! It is interesting, and I the re-teling of the Count of Monte Cristo in a sci-fi setting is really, really interesting. Taste wise; I prefer the anime over the book, but it is a personal thing and it is more in relation to the way the book and the anime differ in executing the story. But yes, watch it!
