I must say I wasn't expecting to find an anime based(loosely) off of Dumas's "Le comte de monte cristo". It truly is a masterpiece though. XD The script writers for this anime have taken all the anguish and greed and hate of every character from the book and made it even more intense.
The story takes place in the far off future, yet is style like the 1800's. I know, very weird, but VERY cool. Also, the animation in this anime is truly and utterly amazing. They approached things soo differently than any other anime I've seen. So much so, I really can't even explain what they do. (I've typed about 5 different sentences and deleted them. ^^;
I would DEFINITELY recommend this anime. On top of the amazing animation, the story is amazing as well. (Obviously, considering it's based off of the book. XD)

Albert was a boy who had been born to a noble family in Paris. He made a journey to the moon with Franz to escape from their tedious lives. On the moon, he met a millionaire calling himself the Count of Monte Cristo.
The Count lived a life of splendour in a rich hotel, with beautiful women waiting on him and strong men guarding him. Albert was fascinated by this Count who seemed to know everything, and the two became friends. Albert eventually invited the Count to visit him in Paris.
The Count's past slowly resurfaces, to the greatest displeasure of everybody involved.
Based loosely on the book written by Alexandre Dumas titled “Comte de Monte-Cristo” (The Count of Monte Cristo), this story is set in a far future time against an intergalactic backdrop.
