Monster

Silh · 05/09/08, 02:49 AM

Been a while since I've picked up a series to watch. That's probably because most anime around right now are really shitty, so after hearing good things about it I decided to start Monster a few days ago. I'm glad I did.

Can't reveal too much without spoiling something, so go do your own exploring.

I watched the first episode...didn't like the style of the animation.

It's awesome. Read the manga. Antagonist is like Hitler, but more psycho.

It becomes a lot more apparent that the animation was done by the same people who animated Death Note in later episodes.

from descriptions, it sounds like it would give me that same feeling in my chest when i watch death note. just tell me this silh, would you think i'd like it?

I heard about the manga a long time ago, but I didn't know there was an anime.

i'm slow.

I'm on the 2nd episode so far. I want to see Lil' Hitler already :D

David Sylvian (crooning 50 year old, previously of the New Romantic band, Japan, which Duran Duran totally ripped off) made a song especially for this - I have to watch it now : D

Monster is single handedly one of the greatest pieces of media to ever come out of Japan. It blows the likes of Death Note and other 'detective' ish completely out of the water with its sheer scale and depth with a superb array of characters and plot that never falters. Never seen the anime but i've heard it's perhaps the most faithful recreation of a manga ever, which will likely mean that this is sheer epic.

Started it up a few days ago, and holy shit is it enjoyable. It kind of reminds me like Death Note except with much more in-depth character development and plot. I love it.

Only on episode 8 right now, but I'm curious as to how the anime can go up to 74 episodes without becoming long-winded. We'll see though.

It's Naoki Urasawa for christ sake. 20th Century Boys, Pluto, anyone? I didn't bother with the anime, but it's mostly likely fine. A bit long for my taste though.

Silh · 06/01/08, 05:42 PM

Why the hell has no one else started watching this?

Phoenix · 06/01/08, 08:22 PM

I assume for the same reason this thread has little over 10 posts.

I could have sworn I made a post in this thread?

Anyhow, downloaded the first three episodes due to bandwidth resrictions. Love it. Just the type of psychological thriller Anime I wanted. XD
