lmao This is why I love Gankutsuou where (SPOILERS) the Count and Albert develop romantic feelings for each other.

The director really went hey, let's do something different. Mercedes gets shafted a little as a result, but I think the point was that the Count was in love with revenge more than he ever loved her, and both of them had become different people by the end. The woman he loved had moved on and his priorities changed.

OH MAN, SAME. I was thrilled by how gay Gankutsuou was between that and Franz.

Yesss! I was gonna shout out to Gankutsuou as well! Such a great anime. I need to watch it again, it's been ages.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I love Gankutsuou too.

Ehh, it's pretty misleading to act like the romantic feelings interpretation is canon. There's subtext, on Albert's part for sure (honestly never noticed anything real on the Count's side, it read like just him manipulating whatever those feelings of Albert's were) but if you told me there was something canonically romantic between them and I went to watch Gankutsuou because of that, I'd come away sorely disappointed. (I feel the same way about calling Peppo trans representation. Would that s/he were, but it's up in the air and almost certainly not the intent.)

Still a good show, however.

the fucking count of monte cristo anime had yaoi???!!!11 oh my god, i need to watch it now, thank you

Especially since it's not being cucked at all, and it would be weird and silly for any audience member to think of it that way.

I actually think the point is to make the reveal and the almost duel even more dramatic, but I agree it's annoying.

It says such WEIRD things about how adapters view women's bodily autonomy too, like... Will we not accept a Mercedes who didn't stay chastely loyal to a man she thought was dead??? Is it really so ~scandalous~ for her to move on with her fucking life instead of carrying on some piece of Edmond???

Let Albert be Fernand's son! Let the Count grapple with his revenge having potential bloody consequence without it being ~oh no but we were actually family~ that makes him stay his hand! Goddamn.
