* The LoveTriangle of [[spoiler:Edmond, Fernand and Mercedes]] is echoed by Albert, Franz and Eugenie, only this time it's Franz who loves Albert. Unlike [[spoiler:Fernand]] Franz acts selflessly to save the one he loves rather than doing anything to greedily keep him for himself, [[spoiler:and his sacrifice is key to ending the wave of tragedy that Fernand's betrayal began.]]

** Also, it was originally an ArrangedMarriage in their case, and Franz has similarly got one planned with Valentine de Villefort, so it's not like he can blame and hate Eugéne over it. Also, Franz is probably aware that it'd be an IncompatibleOrientation between him and Albert, who clearly likes girls (and was disturbed to learn that [[DudeLooksLikeALady Peppo is a guy]].)
** ''Also'' also, there's another major difference between Franz and [[spoiler:Fernand]]: It's implied that [[spoiler: Fernand]] was motivated not just by jealously over [[spoiler: Edmond and Mercedes' relationship]], but also an InferioritySuperiorityComplex regarding his social position and [[spoiler: Edmond's successful career as new ship captain]]. Franz, on the other hand, is already a well-adjusted aristocrat (and also firmly aware that Eugéne's family isn't perfect despite their wealth), on top of being far more morally upstanding and psychologically stable.

* I thought the recaps at the beginning of each episode of ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' were just another typical over-the-top Studio GONZO frill, what with them being [[GratuitousForeignLanguage narrated in French by]] Creator/JojiNakata. Then I watched episode 23, where [[spoiler:Gankutsuou fully possesses the Count]], and realized that the narrations were intended to be [[spoiler:Gankutsuou gloating over his plan]], as in the Japanese broadcast [[spoiler:the Count/Dantes]] speaks in Japanese, while when [[spoiler:Gankutsuou]] is in control he uses French. In the English, the recaps were in English, in [[spoiler:the Count's]] natural voice, and the dubbers gave [[spoiler:Gankutsuou]] a deeper voice slightly reminscent of a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]] to differentiate between the two in that crucial scene in episode 23. I just thought it was an interesting bit of foreshadowing that the English missed out on. - xdelicious
