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.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“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.”
