Anyone post this series? It's really good! And the art is wonderful. I recommend it every much! It's a whole new take on the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo". They creators really did a great job on it.

It has action, suspense, drama, man~ It's hecka good. It's licensed by Geneon, so if you live in the US or anywhere Geneon released DVDs, you can get it. Maybe watch a trailer just to get a taste of it. But that doesn't do the series justice. The official website's trailer is not great, but the ones on the DVDs are WAY better! So maybe look on youtube for trailer if your interested.

I'm almost done with the series, only like 3 episode left,and I just keep on watching it over and over. And the this is one of the best dubbed anime I've seen, none of the characters voices in English sounds terrible or off, they fit well in my opinion.

Also other anime to watch:
