The OP really doesn't suck. It's a great contrast for the ED.

Ahhh! 4, my bad

I don’t particularly love the opening, but that’s just based on preference. I don’t think it’s bad by any stretch.

It may be a good contrast but the actual song itself isn't that good, in my opinion.

I wasn't paying attention to the clock and was about to flip out when the commercial thing came about because I thought it was the end of the ep. Ahhh!

You can really get a good idea where the story is going now.

At first I thought the style was a bit annoying but by the 3rd episode it seems natural. I think using that texture for the Counts hair is better then any flat color.

I’m trying to get my hands on it right now.

The OST is definitely a must have already.

on 4th episode, it's grood. The first episode was impressive but I didn't think the story would be directed in such a interesting way.

I remember reading the book a loooooong long time ago, but I hardly remember the story so this is a definite Check! for me.

And I'm in love with the opening/ending.

I just know there’s going to be some crazy character/plot upheaval later in the story.

I’m going to shoot myself if the series doesn’t end well.

Well it's Gonzo, so I'm worried... if they can't keep this one up, I'm pretty much going to hate them forever.

Mores so why his face lights up and such. I’m guessing it has something to do with that prison type thing they showed him in.

I was thinking they're trying to make him reaaally mysterious or maybe he's an alien, which is very likely. But I think that would have been obvious already if they didn't give him the sharp ears and fangs. I mean the green/blue skin with red/green eyes are already fancy enough. :/

I’d say more so the effects of either some experiments or deep space shiznit.

I would say that they are trying to go for the mysterious approach because in the novel no one really knows who he is, if you have read the book you would know why he is doing what he is doing now, so you would want to know the previous story, go read the novel, reading is good for you.

Spoiler? ...

"Trying to escape his uneventful life, Albert, the son of a wealthy nobleman from Paris, makes a journey with his friend Francis. During his travels, he meets an immensely wealthy nobleman named The Count of Monte Cristo. Living in luxurious hotels, surrounded by beautiful women and strong bodygaurds, the charming but enigmatic count fascinates Albert. Albert invites the count to join the high society of Paris. However, unknown to Albert, his father had once framed the count and took the count's fiancee as his own. Now, the count is back to take revenge on those who had betrayed him, including Albert's parents."

OMG at end part
