Talk:Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo

message: Is anyone familiar with the official names of the characters?  I'm only familiar with the fansubs and don't know if they are correct. Ladlergo 17:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Names

message: Is there interest in a section dedicated to the differences between Gankutsuou and The Count of Monte Cristo?  It could be split up by arcs, characters, or whatever else people think is appropriate.  14:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do think it would be worthy, instead. My problem is that I didi not read the book, although I have seen variuos representations and insipred work. And this is the best one so far. Somebody who has read the book and watched the anime carefully should start the section. Federico Pistono ✆ ✍ 09:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not worth the effort.  Gankutsuou is an interpretation of Dumas' concept, not his story or theme.  There isn't nearly enough similarity to create a "differences" list.  -- uberpenguin 01:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to disagree. I've only seen the first four episodes so far, but this series feels much more like the book I remember (and my own imagination) than any other adaptation I've seen, and the pure plot (though it starts in the middle) seems much closer and more faithful than anything I've seen, despite the crazy sci-fi setting.--Lord Shitzu 21:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added some changes to the story section; I've read the novel as well, and saw the entire series, and the plot ends up being very different. I've broadly outlined some of these differences, as well as commented on the change in tone. I think that Uberpenguin is right, however, in that creating a "list" would be too much effort. Hopefully my addition is helpful. 66.82.9.65 12:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much for doing that. Ladlergo 13:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, a little section explaining the differences would be a great guide. (Sunsetterxxx (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Differences between anime and book?

message: Is it worth mentioning that it sticks closer to the story than the movie which came out in 2002?
:Could you please sign your comments with the four tildes to mark your name/IP and the date?  Thanks. Ladlergo 17:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's worth mentioning, yes. That movie was an abortion of the original story.--Lord Shitzu 21:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Movie and Anime

message: Anything new that we can add? I added a little bit about Beauchamp because he's a somewhat main character. I wanna see if this can become a GA Class because well, Gankutsuou has been one of the best animes created. <_<
:I'd suggest working on a section that covers the differences betwen the anime and the novel. Ladlergo 20:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I started the basics of that section in the "story" section (before I had a user name), but I agree that this could be an independent section, or at least a full subsection of "story." The story section itself could easily be made far more in-depth. Other than that, what do these "GA Class" articles have that this one doesn't? That might be an excellent place to start.

thread_title: What can I/We add?

message: The Anime News Network is incorrect. Lucien Debray is officially Lucien Dupré. The Japanese credits for Lucien is ドプレー, which is DoPuRē. Since it is Pu, it can't have a B since they could have written it as Bu instead (I do know enough Japanese to know this.) The possible cause of this difference is that the creators chose to convert some of the names from the novel for the anime.  
- Alex anaya 18:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm really not going to accept that right now.  Even in French, the novel calls him Debray, and Japanese transliterations are not known for their unfailing accuracy.  However, I will ask people who own the English subbed dvds. Ladlergo 21:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The official artbook, as well as the official English subs, write his name as "Lucien Debray". Not "Dupré". Ladlergo 22:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe it was just a small typo in the credits; the difference between "Pu" and "Bu" is only a tiny accent mark (small circle for "Pu" and two small strokes for "Bu"). At this font size, I can't see the difference. It's a very minor thing. If it's a mistake on our side of the Pacific, it's almost like mistaking "R" and "L" in Japanese words. 66.82.9.90 22:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone told me that there was going to be a Gankutsuou movie, I search it up and found this. Can anyone else confirm this before I actually put this into the wiki? --Rebirth 01:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This rumour is unconfirmed, as well being possibly false or speculation. There has been no news or reference of such a kind from any official or respected/verifiable source (such as Anime News Network, etc.), and as such cannot be added into articles per Wikipedia:Verifiability. ···巌流? · Talk to Ganryuu 01:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Gankutsuou Movie?

message: can somebody add a paragraph or something explaining what the gankutsuou is? maybe including it in the characters list since it's a different entity from edmond dantès (edmond dantès + edmond = the count of monte cristo) and it's a key element in the plot. I think there was an explanation of the gankutsuou in one of the episodes of the series. it's some sort of demon for what it seems... (Sunsetterxxx (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's the gankutsuou? 

message: The article does seem a bit short at the moment, here are some comments for further improvement, see also WP:MOS-ANIME:
* Convert the existing characters section to prose, as opposed to a embedded list. Per WP:SS this section should be about twice the length of List of Gankutsuou characters's lead.
* Better yet, this section can often be integrated into the plot section, see this guideline. I am aware that it is not currently specified on WP:MOS-ANIME, but we have had success in applying it.
* The article requires a production section.
* Some sections are still very short (e.g. Anime, Manga, Music, Reception). Expand sections to at least 100 words each.

thread_title:  Comments for improvement to article. 

message: It says in the article that there are a number of examples of Classical music in the anime, but every example listed is a Romantic piece, not a Classical one.  Furthermore, the story of the original book takes place during the Romantic era.  Is there any evidence that the show contains Classical music at all?  It's been a long time since I've seen the show, so I don't want to go changing things on a whim....
