Anything Else Like Gankutsuou

Fist, no series uses the same visual techniques as Gankutsuou, though wow gold if you haven't seen it, you might want to check out the Animatrix. The directors on that set of shorts were left total creative freedom, and some really used it to experiment with visual style.

I am already a big Utena fan, and wow gold yes, the movie is much richer than the series. I was truly wowed by it when I saw it at a convention on the big screen.

Thanks everyone for all these suggestions and comments. You all rock! But some I am familiar with and still don't put them up with Gankutsuou (like Boogiepop, though I enjoyed the dark look, it was not constantly inventive). Apart from my all time fave, Miyazaki, whose films I appreciate for other reasons, I have never seen anything as visually brilliant as Gankutsuou. The moving textures in the clothing, the set design, as I said, the fashion design, etc. I'm not always a fan of faithful adaptations, but they have to get the atmosphere right. Some movies do, some don't. For instance, the two 70s movies by Richard Lester of Dumas' The Three Musketeers are not exactly faithful to the books, but the atmosphere is exactly right. The Gankutsuou anime gets the atmosphere exactly right, even if it deviates from the book in the second half and takes the setting to SF territory. The Caviezel movie, however, was flat and falls totally short.

My usual recommendation is to read the book if you enjoy the anime.

I've seen it on TV. It's been broadcasted in various European countries. It's reasonably faithful if you consider the different plot elements (most subplots are included, since it has more time as a miniseries to do so), but it makes a few changes that I personally had some trouble with. Depardieu plays the count arrogant, larger than life, and basically a bit too full of joy de vivre. It is very much Depardieu, but is it really Edmond Dantes? I really didn't like how the ending was changed to make it a suitable ending for Depardieu - but not one for Edmond Dantes.

Ironically, that mini series looks more faithful than the anime, if you look at the plot elements included, but in spirit, it's still the anime that comes closest to the book in characterization and in the Parisian atmosphere of the 19th century, even if it takes more liberties with the plot.

I have to vehemently disagree on that particular movie, I found it one of the worst adaptations I've ever seen, mostly because so much of the book was totally buy wow weapons lost and changed beyond recognition.

I must disagree with you on the movie version. It may have been an unfaithful adaptation but I thought it was very enjoyable. I would suggest that anyone interested in "Revenge Fantasy" type films give it a try.

I mean, "V for Vendetta" could be considered to be an unfaithful rendition of "The Count of Monte Cristo" also, but it's still good, IMHO.

I would want people to wow gold see the movie adaptation simply to pique their interest and, as a result, read the novel.

Just buy wow weapons my opinion, anyway.
