Gankutsuou: Le Comte de Monte Cristo and Haydée Tebelin

gankutsuou cosplay - le comte de monte cristo by melli and haydée tebelin by konzert junkyHaydée Tebelin is a skilled harp player who is one of the members of Le Comte de Monte Cristo's estate. Once the former princess of the planet Janina, she and her mother were sold to slavery when her father was betrayed and murdered. She was eventually rescued by the Count, and deep feelings began to grow over time.

This is only a cropped version of Melli and Konzert Junky’s “Epic” cosplay, so please visit her Deviant Art to see the original photo and all its fine details. Thanks to Konzert Junky for letting me feature this!

Gankutsuou: Le Comte de Monte Cristo

gankutsuou the count of monte cristo cosplay - le comte de monte cristoA mysterious noble man who suddenly appears in the Moon Colony, Luna, Le Comte de Monte Cristo or “The Count of Monte Cristo” is actually Edmond Dantès, a plain sailor who was imprisoned in Château d’If on false charges. It’s on Château d’If that he meets Gankutsuou, a cold-blooded demon who promises him revenge in exchange for possessing his body. It is because of the demon that his body became crystalline, revealing his bones and internal organs.

Another fantastic shot by Tony Quan, the same photographer behind the Bleach cosplay, Ayasegawa Yumichika, during Anime Expo 2007. I really like this anime for its original style in animation. And of course, “The Count of Monte Cristo” is an excellent novel in itself. Thanks for sharing!
