Gankutsuo is about a bazillion times better than The Count of Monte Cristo. Better like you wouldn't believe.

Dumas' Count is a weepy emo-pants, none of the non-Count characters are the slightest bit interesting (Albert is somehow even lamer, Eugenie and Franz don't even rank as plot devices, and Haydee comes off as some kind of slave-fantasy pedo-bait), and the ending is LOL DEUS EX MACHINA to the extreme. There's even a little bit of lamely-executed Romeo and Juliet style "LOL LET'S GET THE GIRL OUT FROM UNDER THE OPPRESSIVE THUMB OF HER FAMILY BY FAKING HER DEATH! OH NOES NOW HER LOVER THINKS SHE'S DEAD AND IS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF! IT BE DRAMATIC RESCUE TIEM NAOW?" *froth froth*

I guess you could say that the anime ruined the book for me. Not that there was much to ruin. *commence wank from French lit majors*
