"Outstanding modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo. Bear with the animation style, it gets less migraine-inducing after the first episode and it is very worth it. I recommend watching it undubbed with subtitles if you can because the Count's voice is just... 😌. 9 out of 10"

"Adaptation of the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo.""

"Has anyone seen this version of the Count of Monte Cristo and have opinions on it? Is the story worth it because I’m not loving the static 2D patterns so far…"

"The story is pretty good, but man that art style is jarring and takes a while to get used to "

"As a huge fan of the novel, this is one of my all time favorite adaptations of it. Though, some may find the art style to be hit or miss based on their preference. I do think that it makes up for it in the story department. One of my favorite animes and I’d consider an underrated gem."

"It has a slow start but the final few episodes are so powerful."

"Probably the best adaption of the novel with beautiful animation. "
