I had mixed feelings with this anime. The beginning was quite boring to me, I didn't follow the storyline thoroughly, nor was I interested in all of the political dialogue. So what kept me going? I'd say it was the fact that I simply wanted to finish this title. Good thing I kept at it. Things became much more mouth-gapingly dramatic, and I really paid attention to all the efforts put into this title.
Look closely, the artwork is beautiful and very creative. There are extraordinary imagination and details in the background. The visual effects are stunning, and you really feel at awe at some moments. Gonzo is always full of surprises. The music is also something to be mentioned, it was really moving; within my tastes.
The characters had an enormous amount of depth and were very human. I personally didn't like Albert too much, but he developed quite a bit as the ending came near. Franz was definitely the better character. Haydee was very attractive in a lot of scenes.
The story was very in-depth, though I haven't read the famous novel yet to determine how well-played out Gankutsuou was compared to its origin. There was so much going on and this is probably one of the top dramatic titles. Still, with all the events occuring, for some reason I wasn't too engaged, perhaps because there wasn't a character I was attached to, or that genre wasn't in my tastes. Gankutsuou is still a well equiped anime though, and I enjoyed the later half of it. | |
