Monster is one of the few anime that feels like it can be done right in a live action, now that you mention it!

It's been a while since I watched a show and felt empty in the end. (Actually this was a re-watch, but I had forgotten so much.) Great shows have that effect, I guess.

Well since Johan has 5 heads left, he can spare a few more head wounds.

I knew this show was practically made for you both. I enjoyed every single reaction and discussion immensely and I'm so sad it's over ππππ praying for that live action remake one day because Monster deserves it, and so that you can get a second chance to watch it :' )

That pretty much reflects my views about the show.

Really glad you guys reacted to this. It's been a really nice experience revisiting this series in the last how many months with you guys. Still probably my top 3 favourite anime of all time.

I'm not really on board with most of the writing decisions in these final few episodes, but I don't wanna start a flame war.
Overall, I'd probably give the show a 7.5/10. Very engaging mystery & compelling villain, but the plot is a bit too convoluted, fragmented, and reliant upon contrivances & extreme coincidences for my taste.
Now, if I had felt as though the ending was amazing, then that might've been able to mask those criticisms, but alas, it didn't for me.

Ahhh creating 40 1 dollar accounts to vote monster in the haikyuu vs monster poll was worth it!!!

What are your favorite shows/novels?
I'm not doing a gotcha. Monster is one of my favorite anime, but I can see how one can feel the way you did about it. It intrigues me.

Second time watching this show all the way through, and it didn't really improve upon rewatching. Cumbersome, heavy-handed, boring and with glacial pacing. The ending is kinda lame, too. Anime is just such a disappointment nearly every time, even one like this that is more reserved with regards to all the typical anime tropes and nonsense...

They watched an up-scaled 4k version from the archive. You also can use the Netflix version or some illegal stuff like from hianime. They just got the best version with good subtitles. But they watched 72 on Netflix!

I'm about to start this since they finished it and heard there are multiple versions. Can someone tell me which version I'm supposed to watch and what the differences are?
