Somehow your reply to me got buried and I missed it. Sorry, I would have written back to you sooner my friend. How have you been Annie? Are you having a nice summer with any plans? I'm on my way to the beach this month for a relaxing break.
I could just tell that you were an artist, whether it was actually your career like a photographer, writer or dancer, or just all intuitive and the instict to create and make things. I am a total daydreamer too, it got me in trouble all of he time in school. I would doodle all over my math homework and dream of handsome princes.
My grammar looks terrible on site, typing replies. If I am serious about writing a story though then I can make it okay, not perfect but not incompetent like I may seem at a glance XD I still committed some war crimes against the English language in my early days though, because I had strong ideas in my head about what makes a great author, but tried to badly imitate legends and must have sounded so pompous and silly. I am learning though! I might be a trickler too. Often someone else's tale inspires me like a historical person's life or a myth I heard of, and I want to retell it my way.
If you are still curious about Gankutsuou then lemme ask this. Do you prefer watching Anime in the original Japanese with English subs or an English dub if its a competent dub job? If you want straight up Japanese then this will be quick.

There it is from start to finish on youtube 20+ episodes uncut, DVD quality for free in its native language. Its also all on Crunchy Roll free, but with more commercials.
Now, if you would rather watch English there are a few more steps involved but we can still do this. Funimation posted the first 5 episodes on youtube. Which you can start with here to see if this is something that you are even gonna like.

Now if you do enjoy it and want to see beyond that then you have to go to their official website. I believe the series is still there to watch dubbed in its entirety also free, but you have to login with them for an age check. It's dumb because there's no graphic stuff, someone might say damn and that is about it. If you run into any problems though, I do have the full series and can just upload English.
Toodles!
Have a fun weekend!
