Anyone know any anime similar to this?


as in, awesome art, awesome plot, just overall really good XD

I thought the art in the final story of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales was really great and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat, but it's only 3 episodes. Luckily there was a spin off series based on those final 3 eps called Mononoke.

Don’t blame someone else for setting the trap that you were stupid enough to walk into.

I know a pretty great (and kinda crazy) series called Baccano!. The Artistry is not at the same level of Gankutsuou, but the story, characters and pretty much the whole series is extremely entertaining to watch. I highly recommend it.

"Tragedy of Belladonna/Belladonna of Sadness/Kanashimi no Belladonna" (1973), a very sad anime which "Gankutsuou" drew its artistic inspiration from.

Not as awesome animation, but another brilliant un-typical anime, le chevalier D'eon.

SLAUGHTER!

Gonzo apparently made an anime about Romeo and Juliet (called Romeo x Juliet) - considering how well they did with Dumas's masterpiece, I don't see how they can screw up a smaller play by Shakespeare.

reply

Rome x Juliet is very different from the play and pretty much the only thing the 2 share is character names. Still, it is still a good anime to watch even with its upgraded setting (like Gankutsuou).
