Revenge, greed, vice, corruption. Both series feature the darkness; the evil in human hearts. Worlds depicting a dichotomy between the filthy rich and the suffering poverty, both Gankutsuou and Speed Grapher are vastly different in settings and plot development, but distinctively similar in their themes.
Based on the Count of Monte Cristo set in a futuristic setting, Gankutsuou is a story of vengeance. To avoid spoilers, the antagonist had a shocking past filled with desperation and betrayal, and Gankutsuou follows his attempts to destroy and defile his objects of vengeance.
Whereas for Speed Grapher, a near future world rather similar to GiTS and DtB, where moneyis the bringer of all and rich people rule. Amidst the living hell of corruption, Speed Grapher is a story of freedom, to obtain true happiness; and a story of revenge, to bring an end to his tragic past.
While dissimilar in characters, environment, and even plots, both series share a subtle motif which emphasises on their similarities. If one were to enjoy the former, he would definitely enjoy the latter.read more
