a lot of gankutsuou interviews emerged out of nowhere on youtube (i'm assuming it's because of its 19th anniversary?) and i'm so obsessed with the way mahiro maeda promotes his own anime. that's exactly how i try to convince my friends to watch my favorite works:

"i made it gay because i wanted to" - the powerful ambition to make his dream fanfiction of a 19th century novel a reality... goals!

highlight is when he admits that gankutsuou is basically a nighttime soap opera:

#gankutsuou #gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #the “even drugs” part kills me #he said the count was modeled after lord byron too #in one of the interviews jouji nakata demands the audience to become attached to the count and call him “moncri” hjfdhjdf #for the person who translated this: thank you very much!#this is such a rare gem

Early 2000s/late 1990s anime that is now on the verge of ‘forgotten’ status

I’m talking about those nostalgic analogue animations, or when the anime industries were facing a strange identity crisis of digital or analogue. I don’t know about you, but looking back, that period of anime certainly was the most mature I’ve ever seen, even compared to most shows ever released in the past decade or so.

Once more, this one’s a personal list of shows I remember just as some have never even heard of them

Romeo x Juliet

Earth Girl Arjuna

Last Exile

Noir

12 Kingdoms

Ergo Proxy

Escaflowne & Vision of Escaflowne

Blood+

Hellsing

Argento Soma

Elemental Gellade

Black Cat

Sorcerer stabber Orphen

kobato

Eden of the East

Fullmetal panic

Gankutsuou: Count de monte Cristo

xxxholic

Nodame Cantible

Mushishi

Baccano

The Irresponsible Captain Taylor

RahXephon

.hack//sign

Kare Kano

Martian Successor Nadesico

Claymore

You are under arrest

Ghost hunt

And that’s all that I can remember.

enjoy.

ps. a few of these are a bit on the mature side, so research with caution

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo "Act 3: 5/22, Stormy"

#gankutsuou #gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #you won't see me coming till I strike #it's one thing for The Count 'foreign rich person' to decry the state. but for Edmond. who was vulnerable and deserved protection #but *wasn't* protected and at every turn betrayed by those he should have been able to trust ... this really stuck out to me #anyway #happy 4th of july

“Rather than creating a simple thrilling revenge tragedy of “It’s been done to me so I’m doing it back!” I was aiming, in this day and age, to create this kind of work. If a person should be faced with hatred from another, what kind of a relationship will be born from the way they act towards them? How should people face one another? It is these things that I felt I should focus on. In the 23rd act, it is not simply a matter of Albert saving the Count with the purity of his heart. Towards a person who will not face him and who his words will not reach, what kind of action will Albert take? And, conversely, towards a person who is attached to him and he must definitely kill in order to accomplish his revenge, can the Count’s will persist? I wanted to see that serious/true/hardcore collision. What that means is that up until the end, Albert is Albert and Edmond is Edmond. The two of them might spend their whole lives running on parallel lines, but in spite of that, can they continue to interact with each other? Can they continue thinking [of each other]? That’s probably the theme. If that’s where the words “Wait and hope” are to be found, then don’t Franz’s words “Feelings of love and feelings of hate both stem from caring about a person” serve as the light of that faint hope? That’s what I think.”

From a Mahiro Maeda Interview (x)

Me watching Gankutsuou for the first time: Wow, Albert really looks up to the Count... but there's no way there is gay subtext in this, right?

Several rewatches of the anime with friends and the FUCKING DIRECTOR IN AN INTERVIEW about to prove me wrong:

#gankutsuou #gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #the count of monte cristo #is my gaydar broken? what?#Albert this maN IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR FATHER

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo

Adapted from novel by alexandre dumas

So, what if I told you the most faithful adaption of the Count of Monte Cristo ever done was an anime that set it in space but kept all the same character beats and plot points, whilst bringing a distinct surrealist visual style that seems like animated cut paper collage and also the "Count" now is a blue skinned vampire? It's all the revenge tragedy, frenchiness, and generational drama you could ever want and it is fucking perfect. If you haven't seen Gankutsuou before and loved the book (and maybe thought it could do with a sad mecha duel)? Please give it a watch.
