2) The 80s Japanese animated series, i.e. the one where D'Artagnan had a boy sidekick and Aramis was a girl trying to get revenge for her dead fiance
My first reaction to that was 'ZOMG I KNOW THIS ONE!!'. My second reaction was 'OH THAT was what her deal was'. Yays for the really old animated series (that I never actually finished)~!
When I think of Dumas' original book, these days, I see it bookended by two set pieces: D'Artagnan's arrival in Paris, which gets my vote as the single best action sequence (setup and payoff) ever committed to paper, and Milady's seduction and corruption of Felton, at the very least a milestone in the historical development of the psychological thriller.
ZOMG. XD My two favorite parts of the book!
Aw. Now I wanna watch this thing. Just for the lulz, if nothing else. :D
