5.0 out of 5 stars Wowser!!!, May 11, 2006

By	MarthaC (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

With this volume, the series is more than half done. Even if you think Albert is a bit of a idiot, he finally understands that something evil is happening shortly after this volume begins. He knows, but can't see how it's all happening until. . . Well, it's really, really, suspenceful.
The animation is still something to behold-watch for a journey through cyberspace,another into the mind of an old man and on the Count's ship in outer space.
This is one of the best anime series I've ever seen. It's been two days since I saw this volume and am still thinking about it. It requires a few viewings to take it all in. This series is meant for grown-ups who are looking for a story and art design that appeals to adults because it's themes and story line are more interesting to adults than to children or some teens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A work of art, May 7, 2007

By	Avery Ana LuBell "Snape Specialist" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The entire Gankutsuou series is worth any anime-lover's attention. The animation is like nothing ever seen or used before, it is completely innovative and overflowing with artistic brilliance. The soundtrack is incredible, sometimes mixing the most unlikely of genres, like techno and opera. And the story itself is classic literature with a twist (personally one of my favorite classics of all time; who can resist a tale of revenge?). The only disappointment may be to fans of the book who are expecting the original ending. But this show is absolutely your money's worth. ~A
