Yo .
I'm sure if you are manga fan, you should have heard of one called monster. It is about a doctor called Dr. Tenma.
I watched the 1st 2 ep. and it has super super high ratings on animenfo.com. Was wondering if someone could give me a non-spoiler synopsis and if they predict whether I will like it or not.
or maybe just a quick reason why it is rated this high
can someone please reply? i don't want to revive my own threads again and again...
i know itz decent because ppl have claimed to like it and think it to b one of the better ones this season
I'm gonna go ahead and yoink a portion of my review of it from animenfo.com to give you a quick synopsis of my opinions on the series:
It isn't that in-depth of a review, but there have only been four episodes released so far. I was the first one to review it on animenfo, and I also happen to be the one to have given it the lowest score, 7.5. I think its got a great storyline, but not that great overall. I don't know why others have rated it that high.I still don't see why this couldn't be live-action. It seems like a regular medical show spliced with a cop drama or thriller. There aren't any fantasy or sci-fi elements yet, so I don't know why it isn't live-action.
Although the plot twists are interesting, they are much too predictable. It means waiting ten minutes for the cast of characters to catch up with what you know will happen.
perhaps itz something for the adults?
itz wierd because the first 2 episodes could be like a soap.
thanx though for ur help
I guess you could say that. Its primarily plot-based and should get much darker and more suspenseful later in the series. Anyone that enjoys a good mystery should probably check it out.
I'm 22, would you consider that an adult? I do enjoy the anime, just not to the degree that the others who rated it on animenfo did.

u rated it a 7.5? thats not even a B rating.
u prolly rated it that low cuz u were expecting some fantasy,
sci fi thing.
Monster is not that kind of anime.
also, as most of u know, this is not an anime for "kids"
I rated it that low because I didn't think it was that good, not because of my expectations. Only anime that I absolutely adore do I put above an 8.0 rating. As I said before, the plot on Monster is its best point and its way too predictable.
people rate as they wish.Originally posted by: TeNSaikUn

i dont know what u mean by predictable...
what was predictable?
the part being "who" killed the 3 guys?
the watcher (especially in the anime) was suppose to know
who killed them before the end of episode 4...nothing to predict about.
instead, the anime make u wander "WHY he was capable of doing that".
if u think the anime is too predictable, im assuming u already know why
Yohan was shot in the head, why the lil girl was the only surviver, and why
Yohan is out killing people.
unless u read the manga, u would not know why.

so if u see somebody rating Naruto a below average anime, you see nothing wrong with that?
It's an opinion, there's nothing wrong with that at all.Originally posted by: TeNSaikUn

Lets not take this thread into discussing Naruto. All that I'll say is that most of the forum probably differs from you on that opinion.
The most interesting character in the show so far is the Detective, does anyone know if we'll see any backstory on him? Why he's so relentless or anal? No spoilers, a simple yes or no will do.
cant remember if there will be backstory to the detective, but there will be much backstory to johan and his sister.
actually i think you are wrong. Naruto is popular only because it fills a niche, not because it is of outstanding quality. Also Naruto is a long running series and statistically, long running series tend to have fanbases that are loyal despite the quality of the show in question (eg. Star Trek, X-files , Friends). These shows remain popular simply because they have run so long, and audiences have invested so much emotionally into it that ppl would watch even if the scripts were periodically written by a drunken spastic monkey.Originally posted by: Poiple Weezard

If one were to take and compare Naruto up against every other long running series ever made and rated for storyline/animation/etc etc, it would probably score on the averagish side.
Also unlike most secular long running series, Naruto has simply no competition. Look at it this way, the only other long running series of notable quality is FMA and thats already 32/52 done. Naruto is not even close to resolving itself at 83 episodes.
The truth of the matter is that time moves on , quality anime series come and go, but Naruto remains.
So pls friends stop confusing popularity with quality. It is tiresome. If you like Naruto go ahead and enjoy it. There is no shame in that. Just dont go off spouting that its better than anything else cause it really isnt.
Coming back to monster ..... yeah it looks good, but its also one of those animes where you need to maintain a steady momentum in order sustain a great interest in it.
Its better to watch it several episodes at a time rather than keeping pace with the releases.
going back to monster after watching eps of Kono-mini and Tenjou Tenge kind of detracts from it quite abit IMO.
PS: To address the issue that some ppl might raise on the subject of Initial D being on par or surpassing Naruto:-
It doesnt ... Naruto is better
alright, if u put it that way, then theres nothing I can say
edit:but u get what I mean right? if something like that happened,
alot of people would flame him (the guy who thinks Naruto sucks)
this show is getting better and better. i just watched ep 3 it was really good, i knew those 2 little kids were evil. theres never enough evil little children...
I'm betting he was shot in the head by his sister after murdering his parents, but I dont' know that for certain. When I say it has a predictable plot, I'm referring to the individual plot that each episode contains. Within the first five minutes of the episode, you know what will happen at the end.
Its a good anime with some interesting characters and a storyline that I'm curious how it will unfold at the end, but that doesn't mean its great.
I get annoyed when I see people rate Naruto unfairly. That doens't mean low. They can rate it low and as long as they provide an explanation for why they did so, I have no problem.
I just didnt like how u judged and said how "predictable" the anime was when only few episodes were out.Originally posted by: Poiple Weezard

It might not be a "great" anime to you right now, but keep on watching, and hopefully that'll change.

Poiple Weezard: for all i know you may have read the manga and, thus, know whats going to happen and call it "predictable" and from what ive read in the manga, the story is anything but predictable.
