Monster

[Poiple Weezard]

While they are twins, they are only fraternal twins. They don't have identical DNA, no matter how similar it is, and they definetly have different childhood experiences. While we know she is very capable, the other characters would have little reason to believe so.

Monster 22 out by a-kraze for those interested

*** Spoiler to ep 22 **

I was hoping for a little more from this ep, but it was still good. I especially liked how both Lunge and Tenma approached the crime scene in the same way and came to the same conclusions about the killer. And Lunge being obsessed to the point where he doesn't even care if the real killer is caught... And then he accuses TENMA of being unemotional. I was a little surprised that he remained with the police given what happened before, but it doesn't appear that it's interfering with his chase, so that's OK.

It was also pretty nasty of him to blackmail that poor reporter. Oh, and is it supposed to be Eva who seduced him away from his family so that Lunge could manipulate him?

Edit: Oops, my bad. Edited

[Munsu]

Spoilers up to 22


Yeah... I think Eva has something to do with it... if not she is seducing someone else from what i gather from the preview it looks like Roberto is tied up into it somehow also.... (I think i saw him)

I think that Roberto is looking at the moment for Tenma... and he links Eva to Tenma (former fiancee) so she might be in trouble...

And yeah... I loved how Tanma and Lunge went about the scene the same way... That Lunge is losing his mind....

[thundrakkon]

It seems that Lunge is going out of his mind. Maybe he will end up like the police officer in the previous episode.

Does anyone know how many episodes Monster is? Animesuki lists it at 70+, but is that accurate?

Oh, btw, episode 23 is out:

Anikraze Episode 23

[Munsu]

Yeah... I and a couple of people have mentioned this a couple of time...

It is around 70 episodes

downloading 23 now...

*** ep 23 spoilers ***

Wow, not an ep for kids. Eva stoops to prostitution, steals liquor from a homeless bum, and ends up being raped by Roberto. She was just so desparate in this ep, you had to feel sorry for her. I wonder where they will go with her character? Things certainly can't get any worse...

[Munsu]

Spoilers to 23**********************




Yeah Eva can't stoop any lower... lighting a used cigarette just outside of prison...

It looks like she appears with a shotgun after tenma in the preview.... I guess she wasnt with Lunge on the previous plot

[thundrakkon]

**Episode 23***

If she dies, it might be the best thing for her, but I doubt that will happen to her. She will probably live a very long time and eventually redeem herself somehow... then die right after...

When you hit rock bottom, the only way you can go is up.

*** Spoilers to ep 24 ***

What a nice ep. I like how they develop Eva's character even more. She's interesting because she's so conflicted. It's hard to guess what she'll do next. She seems so hard when she confronts Roberto, but then it turn out she's terrified. When she took the gun I could see her going after Tenma, but then instead she defends him with her life. When Deiter asks her if she's Tenma's friend she can't even give him a yes or no answer. It's like she doesn't even know. She's a weird combination of stalker/psycho and love interest/sidekick.

I'm a little surprised that Roberto left her alive, but I guess he must have believed her bluff after all. And no preview? I think the last bit was an advertisement for the manga or the soundtrack or something.

The "Monster Special 1" at Anikraze is a summary ep of the story so far. No new information, but a good review if you're thinking of picking up this anime. A good review if you're watching this anime too. There are enough plot twists that it can be hard to keep track of them all. I had forgotten that Johan had actually ASKED his sister to shoot him. Well, new ep next week.

[Munsu]

damn i thought i had posted that info in here... probably i had problems posting that day and it didnt show up lol...


Spoilers to episode 24


Yeah i was surprised also that he let her live.... but he probably took a shot to take her out missed... and then went away thinking there would be more security coming know that his plan was compromised.... Just like the owner of the mansion said


end spoilers..............



BTW... episode 25 is out by a-kraze and up to 24 by soldats

[Mae]

*** Spoilers to 25 ***

More side characters! I am seriously going to lose track soon. Oh well, I like the economics major, although now that he has met Johan he might not be around much longer... And THAT was unexpected. When the Thursday boy commited suicide I decided that it would be another 20 eps before Johan ever showed up in person again, and then I saw that pale hand... A little anticlimactic for the arrival of the show's antichrist, but cool because I didn't expect it.

[Mae]

Anime-Kraze just released eps 26 and 27.

[Munsu]

Spoilers for episodes 26 and 27....




I watched the episodes last night... and although some must be dissapointed that they havent seen Tenma in a while, I dont mind.... Iam really enjoying seeing how Johan mind fucks everyone.... I really wonder if Johan is gonna kill Schuwald and Karl... Im even doubting myself here.. Johan seems unpredictable

[Mae]

Spoilers for same.

I was worried that having Johan return to the series would be a disappointment after all the build-up to this arc, but I think it's turning out well. Portraying him as a sweet, helpful guy is creepy in itself (volunteering with orphens?). You keep waiting for something truely awful to happen, like him suddenly pushing Karl off the roof during their talk. It looks like he wants to use the newly reunited father/son pair for something, so I think they're safe for now, but that detective is going down.

[Munsu]

I really cant believe that us two are the only one still discussing this... this series is easily top 3 of the currently released anime (i would have said top 2... but i know alot of Naruto lovers would have disagreed if i left their precious Naruto out of the top two.... the other top 2 is One Piece of course)...


Spoilers....




Yeah there were many instances that i said "OK at last Johan is gonna kill them"... but that moment never came... and i love how Johan has such a fag voice... it makes him even creepier...

die hard anime keep fan

grr

[Munsu]

yeah i like a-keep also... but i dont see Monster as a too hard to sub series.... so I think you can watch any from a-kraze and soldats and you wont be missing anything... you can always go back to archive a-keep version
