List Of Gankutsuou Characters
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is an anime series set in the year 5053. While the setting is largely futuristic, many of the buildings and dress styles are reminiscent of France in the 19th century. Gankutsuou shares the same basic plot as Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. However, in the Gankutsuou, there is a greater focus on Albert Morcerf and his friends as opposed to the book's focus on the Count. In addition, the anime portrays the Count in a far more negative, almost antagonistic, light. The story is largely that of a coming-of-age for Albert and his friends. Their plushy lifestyle is disrupted by the arrival of the Count, who sets his plan for revenge into motion.
The anime series features an extensive cast of characters, most of whom are based on Alexandre Dumas's French novel, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo.

“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
—Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
