Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, like Elfen Lied, engages the viewer with both heartful and complicated character relations, but gradually twists into a dark tale and reveals the horrific, heartbreaking, and psychologically thrilling truth about everything. Both aesthetically and thematically, Gankutsuou bears a very similar chaos and insanity of a complex love story gone unfathomably dark. Not to mention, the artistic, textural design within Gankutsuou's animation very much resembles Gustav Klimt's painting, "The Kiss," as symbolized in Elfen Lied.
