Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo

 

Based on the famous Alexandre Dumas novel : The Count of Monte Cristo.
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, is basicly the same story, of love and vengeance, but with a sci-fi side that make it even better than the original.  

The COUNT of MONTE CRISTO

One of the thing that make Gankutsuou special is the way the visual was made.  Gankutsuou's unusual visual style layers textures into digital animation, with backgrounds often rendered in 3D, is absolutely amazing.
The story is around Albert De Morcerf, who become friends with the Count and get used by him to make is mad plot of vengeance work.  

ALBERT

The Count, a self-made nobleman, is a sophisticated and very intelligent man, that knows what he want and how to get it, no matter what's the price.  

This anime is very well made, the plot, even if you already know the original story of The count of Monte Cristo, will keep you on the edge of your sit.  It's a must-see, to all anime fan, either for the visual or the story.

Samurai Champloo

Hip-Hop + Samurai = Samurai Champloo. 

MUGEN

It's the best way to discribe this anime.  Directed by the same director them Cowboy bebop, that I talked about in my first article, Shinichiro Watanabe created a another masterpeace.  This anime full of action, blood and hip-hop.  It follow during 26 episodes, MUGEN, JIN and FUU, in there quest to find the sunflower samurai.  
MUGEN, a reckless sword-slinger-B-boy style samurai, he is not exactly the gentlement guy, more the nasty dirty kind of guy.  
JIN, he's more the opposite of Mugen, old school samurai, wise and calm

FUU

FUU, the ditzy waitress, who save the life of the two swordsman, hired them as bodyguard to help her solved riddle of her past.  The three of them travel across Japan, to look for the samurai that smell of sunflower (and that is the only thing that fuu has to help them find the quy).  During the voyage they will meet all kind of trouble, mostly created by Fuu, Mugen and Jin.  

JIN

There is not a dull moment with them, and when you finally find out this mystrious sunflower samurai is it become even more intense.  This serie good in every way, so if you start the journey with them you wont regret it.

Cowboy Bebop

JET BLACK

The first anime I would like to introduce to you is, COWBOY BEBOP.  For me there is only one way to discribe this anime and it's, CLASSIC.  Cowboy bebop, is my all time favorite anime.  Directed by Shinchiro Watanabe, cowboy bebop is in every way the perfect series.  All the characters are wonderfully created, and each one of them have this little something that make them awesome. The story is easy to follow, there is action in every corner and it's funny from time to time.  The sound track, a mix of Jazz and blues, that blend in perfectly with every scene and keep you on the edge of your seat during action scenes. 

SPIKE SPIEGEL

The story is about the crew of the bebop, the space ship of JET BLACK.  JET and SPIKE SPIEGEL  are bounty hunter that try to collected bounty on the head of criminals.

Along the way the crew will get bigger and bigger, not cause Jet and Spike wanted to but more cause it happen.  The first to join is, EIN, a welch corgi dog, a very very intelligent dog.. 

FAYE VALENTINE

Then FAYE VALENTINE, a beautiful bounty hunter with a mistery past and who have the tendency to cause trouble. And the last but not least, EDWARD, a girl hacker, that can do anything with a computer she's a real genius, and very weird but very funny.  
They work together ( together maybe not but they work) to catch bounty in order to survive and eat ( bell pepper and beef with no beef most off the time ). 

EIN & EDWARD

Bounty hunting is not everything in cowboy bebop, when the past of every characters come back to haunt them that's is when the real fun begin but I wont tell more cause that is for you to find on your own.Cowboy Bebop has also a Movie, which is more a long episode that take place in-between episodes 22 and 23 of the TV series, than a movie but  very good no less. But to know more you have to see it on your own. so see you on the Bebop, Space Cowboy.
