Monster

honestly i don't c how monster can drag out to 70+ ep.

itz good... itz really good in a wierd way... i don't know why i'm drawn into this anime...

can someone who, like me, is usually just into crazy fighting action explain why we all like monster?



i guess itz because the plot is really well controlled. It almost leaks out just the right amount of information to drag out the story to the length the author wants. Everything is taking place and nothing really is missed out. I don't really know what i'm saying but itz hard to explain my feeling for monster, i think most ppl feel the same way

I just found the soundtrack for monster on mircx. It's not bad, search for monster and pick it up if you're interested.

The series is still going strong. Go Tenma! Kick that abusive bastard's ass!

I'm thinking that, it's not simply that the story is good and the atmosphere is brilliant (because it is) but personally, I can't help but feel that there's so much more coming to the anime. I've only seen up to episode 3, and the feeling that something...terrible...is on it's way, kind of like that guy on the hospital bed at the end of episode three said. It's almost like the demons showing up in Berserk (the anime, not the manga, because I've heard that the demons presence was felt throughout, as opposed to it taking you by surprise in the anime). When it comes, its going to come...mercilessly (I can hope can't I?) Hell, even if it doesn't turn to a sci-fi/fantasy direction, that's fine too. So long as the evil actually comes to the forefront and is unbearably evil. I can't wait.

Oh, and that outro is my favorite, ever. A testament to just how brilliant you can be on a low budget.

*** Spoilers to ep 13 ***

I don't see the show switching to an overtly fantasy/sci-fi genre, but they might add some supernatural elements. The story of the orphanage.... where everyone went insane and killed each other..... THAT was pretty evil.

I really like ep 13, although it didn't add much to the overall plot. I was surprised to see that Deiter is staying with Tenma. I wonder if he'll last for the rest of the series? Maybe they'll kill him off... I wish they hadn't chose Naruto's voice actor for Dieter. Not all of the time, but for certain phrases he sounds just like Naruto, which is distracting.

My favorite lines:

"Why? If you stay here we can save many lives! Please, let's work together!"
Tenma: "Save many lives...? I...have to kill a certain man..."

Then he walks away, Deiter chasing him, very cool music playing. Damn, have I said how much I love this series? I wish it had it's own forum.

Just watched 14 and all that I can really think about was the fact that Eva was pissed. I don't think I've seen another anime with a woman more upset. She seriously looked like she could storm tokyo godzilla-style by the end.

Well, I could think about a little bit more than just that. I was also thinking about how nicely they set it up for Lunge and Eva to simultaneously renew their searches for Tenma. I'm curious how each of them will do it. While I can imagine Lunge hopping from town to town in the same manner as Tenma, looking for clues, I can't imagine Eva doing the same thing. She's too high-class.

Yeah, I'd say she was a little ticked off. I think part of the reason she's so angry is that deep down she realizes that her problems are her own fault. Nothing drives a person into an incoherent rage like having noone else to blame... I like that part of her character, gives her a little more depth.

I'll predict that Lunge will take off after Tenma with Eva providing the funding. After all, now that he's lost his daughter, his wife, and his job he has nothing else left... I wonder if he'll end up with Eva? She doesn't seem very picky.

Anyway, I like how this is setting up so that Tenma is simultaneouly chasing after Johann AND avoiding his own pursuer. It creates a nice dynamic [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Cool... I can't believe this is going to be 70 episodes... I expect Tenma to be a badass by the end of the show...


Sadly I'm still in freaking episode 9 waiting for a-keep releases since i cant afford to download other versions in my crappy dsl...


So I'll just ignore the above posts since you guys are already on episode 14... I envy you...

Actually we're up to 15.

Newly out from Soldats, come and get it.

Monster - 15

*Bump*

I just watched up to 17... this show is really kickass... Its my favorite of the season... it is simply brilliant...

I've gotta catch up..... I was originally going to wait for Anime-Keep's releases but they're only up to 9..... does it continue to get better? Should I download another group or just wait?

I was also waiting for a-keep... but Soldat is also an awesome group so I continued with them... they did a great job... in fact i liked their version better... well maybe because it's the most recent ive seen and i dont remember a-keep's that much...

And yes... it gets better and better

go to #soldats at enterthegame... they have a bot there with all the episodes... you can get them in no time

Episode 18 is out by Soldats if anyone is interested....


BTW CmDr_RavEn.. did you catch up? or are you still waiting for anime-keep?

I'm downloading them as we speak.... (or type)... but I won't start watching until I have them all so I can watch in a big marathon..... wooooo!!!

Thanks for the info btw.

****** SPOILERS**********



im the beginning to 18 johan writes that he needs help because the monster was going to explode out of him. Makes me wonder how he got that way and also if the monster is the devil.



*************************

Thanks. Thanks for spoiling that. No really, thanks. *shakes head*

*Edits the post*

Anime-Keep have released up to ep 15 now in case anyone besides me was waiting for them. I haven't even watched my Soldats eps yet! hahah

I've been waiting for A-Keep's version as well. I thought about going to ToTan or even Soldats but decided to stay with one and only one version for the time being. Now I have to download and watch them all. I should read the manga too. The downloading will have to wait because I want to devote more bandwidth to getting all of Naruto (I'm jumping on that bandwagon rather late).

Come on guys... download.... up to 18 so we can discuss!!!!

Soldats is good to watch... just get a-keep for archive...

But watever... what happens on 15 so we can discuss that at least...

For my part you can go ahead and discuss away Budweineken. I won't have any problem with that. Don't know how CmDr_RavEn feels though.
