巌窟王, lit. [i]The King of the Cave[/i], released as [i]Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo[/i] in English A 2004 animated adaptation/re-imagining of Alexandre Dumas's classic french novel, "[i]The Count of Monte Cristo[/i]":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Count_of_Monte_Cristo, by GONZO. The setting is moved to the year 5053 (vs. 1815-1838 in the novel), though the majority of the story remains in France. The protagonist is [[Albert de Morcerf]] instead of Edmond Dantes. The series is notable for its use of a "collage" effect where the hair and clothing of characters act as "holes" to stationary backgrounds underneath (the pattern stays still, but the opening changes as the characters move around) (see post #139047 for a good example of the effect on Haydee). The series also makes heavy use of CG art. A manga by Maeda Mahiro, director of the TV series, was also released, beginning in 2005 in Kodansha's [i]Afternoon[/i]. h4.
