This club is brand new at the moment. We wish to edit and make it more cozy for everyone. (The layout is not still quite right)
Hopefully we'll find new members so we don't have to be lonely around here :'D
A club for every Gankutsuou fan! Feel free to join and post anything Gankutsuou: The Count Of Monte Cristo related!
If you're not familiar with the series I recommend you do something for it!
Basic plot (Wikipedia):
Gankutsuou is set in the far future, during the year 5053, whereas Alexandre Dumas's original novel takes place during the 1800s. Though Gankutsuou incorporates elements of science-fiction and fantasy, it also retains many aesthetics of France in the 1800s, particularly in regard to social classes and wealth. In addition, each of the episodes begin with a summary spoken in French.
The general plot of Gankutsuou, while broadly the same, changes many aspects of the source material. Whereas Alexandre Dumas's original novel is focused heavily on the Count, Gankutsuou's narrative places more importance on the character of Albert and his friends and their inter-relationships. In the novel, the events in the Count's life proceed chronologically; in the anime, the story begins with Albert and Franz meeting the Count on Luna (which occurs many hundreds of pages into the book, in Rome), and the back story is pieced together throughout the series. The plot changes include supernatural elements, different fates for some characters, the disposal of several side-plots, and an altogether different ending.
