[Anime] Gankutsuoh

I could go on for hours about the disappointment that Gankutsu Ou turned out to be in comparison to the book, but I'll limit myself to my main complaints:

Spoiler:

-The Count's character was changed too much. In the book he is a rather kind and caring man, but in the anime they turned him into a weakling who gave in to some space ghost to get his revenge. The biggest disappointment was his confrontation with Mercedes, one of the best scenes in the book, where they really fucked him up, making up for an even worse result when he kills Franz.
-The ending was way too lame. Fernand was turned into a megalomaniac, while he at least had a kind character in the book. He just wasn't who I wanted him to be.
-The biggest disappointment was without a doubt the count's death; How can you kill of a great character in such a lame way?! Yes, the good guys did beat the evil Gankutsu Ou, but how lame did it all happen.

The anime did have some good aspects though:

Spoiler:

-Haydee was wonderful, especially in her confrontation with the parliament.
-Animation and design was simply astonishing/
-Cool ending theme.
-Benedetto was even better than in the original book, one of the best evil characters.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

That scene was just so beautiful, I also nearly cried. Sadly enough, the anime ruined it.

The ending was really lame. It turns out that Dantes made a deal with some monster called Gankutsu in Chateau d'If, and the monster just took over in the second half of the anime. The last few episodes where Fernand going crazy after Haydee's confession and destroying Paris. He later duels the count, and he ends up killing himself. The count eventually dies because of a hug from Albert (yaoi+++). Just awful.

In the book, Haydee hooks up with the Count, who survives thank god, and Albert doesn't end up with anyone, since Euginie seems to prefer women.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The movie is just so bad, it still leaves a sour taste in my outh just thinking of it. The Chateau D'If part was okay, but the rest of it is just unspeakably bad. How the hell could they rape the story so bad.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
