DT Classics 033 - Gankutsuou

Author: dubtalkpodcast December 13, 2025 Duration: 3:04:38

Originally Recorded: August 4th, 2025

We traveled through space and the kaleidoscopic design of mid 2000s anime to find the greatest treasure of all: the greatest adaptation of a novel ever made! Yes, Countess Stephanie, Andrew de Morserf and Noah Depenai are bringing back the classics series to take a look back at Gonzo's bonkers space remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, and the English dub from 20 years ago. Hopefully there will be no taking revenge as we untangle this master series: Gankutsuou!

Our theme music was composed by Gabriel Pulcinelli / Ponpoko in the Distance. You can find more of their work at https://ponpokointhedistance.com/ and at @gabrpulcinelli on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

Ever find yourself wondering how a particular line was delivered in the studio, or which voice actor just absolutely nailed a challenging scene? Dub Talk digs into those details. This isn't just a checklist of what's new; it's a conversation about the craft and character behind the English adaptations of anime. We get into the performances that bring favorite roles to life, discussing the nuances that make a dub feel authentic or fall flat. You'll hear us break down episodes and films, talking about directorial choices, script adaptations, and the occasional brilliant or baffling casting decision. It's for anyone who appreciates the art of the dub, from seasoned fans to those just curious about what happens after the original recording booth. Tune in to the Dub Talk podcast for thoughtful, often lively reviews that go beyond the subtitles. We're here to talk about the voices you know, the ones you're about to discover, and the work that goes into making an imported story feel like it was spoken just for you.
