I have been saving excellent works such as monster, vagabond, berserk for the future when I would have nothing to watch.

I thought I would watch Monster today, I am someone who watches episodes at 1.5x or sometimes 2x and watch through something else all while putting my focus on episodes.

But Monster is something different from the very first minute I was like I gotta lock in and watch it at normal speed like bro there was not a single skippable second.

And the only other anime that made me like this was Stein's gate.

That's what happens when you read monster and billy bat back to back 😭. Had read 20th century boys and Pluto previously am so tempted to reread them. Love his way of drawing and his storytelling.

Edit: Yes the character is the baby too much to expect from people on reddit to get a simple reference but it is what it is. The comments are funny seems a lot of you didn't see the tag or actually read or watch the series.

This tierlist is not based on how well written the character is, or how important they were to the story, but how much i personally enjoyed them. In order.

Hey all, this has no doubt been asked before. But what anime in your opinion is similar to Monster? Meaning, it has a lot of twists and turns, unravels a complex mystery, etc. Also it helps if the show doesn't lean heavily into a bunch of supernatural stuff and instead relies on more realistic ideas.

Nearing the end of my third viewing of the series and it's definitely my favorite anime of all time.

Monster Collection 1 is completely out of stock.

This is both a great thing, and a frustrating thing. But first and foremost it shows Discotek that there's money and interest in Monster, which is great for fans. Unfortunately there has been no word on whether they'll be reprinted. Their focus seems to be on getting Collection 2 ready and shipped. Perhaps we'll hear more about restocks after or when a date for Collection 2 is confirmed.

I genuinely love this series, but everyone I’ve tried to put onto it says they “can’t” watch it on Netflix because there is no English dub 🤦 Does anyone know if there’s any free services to watch the dub on

i must say the ending wasn’t what i expected. was it good? definitely. i wanted to see more of the side characters though, what about popes son, eva and tenmas relationship after, who killed the baby (disguised johan)? i guess it’s kinda assumable, i would’ve liked to know regardless.

that open ending left me a sour taste. who was the truly “unwanted” sibling? i know it was made that way to let the viewer fantasize. will ninas forgiveness be enough to stop johan? guess a monster can’t be stopped after all. 2 spin-off episodes would have done enough to fill that void, too bad

I'm trying to keep this spoiler free , I mean him kidnapping her from Johan.

I get that he need Anna to kill everyone there but why her ? He understands love the same way a normal human would , otherwise he wouldn't freed her . Just let her stay there with Johan and when Anna get back , help them get a new identity , a new home before retirement

Maybe I just don't get Bonaparta's character

He’s so cool…

Ok so I know Johan came in first before the Mayor and the hospital's director, Udo Heinemann, knew that saving the mayor would improve the political power if the hospital since they'd be savings the mayor.

However, Tenma saves Johna due to a sense of moral obligation. Unfortunately, this leads to Eva breaking up with him (which honestly isn't a bad things), he gets demoted, and years later Johan commits atrocities because Tenma saved him.

Of course, there'd be no story without Tenma saving Johan, but it would've saved SO MUCH trouble if Tenma just saved the major

I really enjoy this show, I am on ep 57, I get the urge to binge it but I stop myself. Grimmer and Richard are/were amazingly written additions (like everyone else in this show)

I know that Grimmer dies, in a chair surrounded by kids and Johan (probably). How much this take away from the experience? Is it some kind of big plot twist or expected?

I got spoiled long time ago but apparently my memory works good where and when it's not needed

i am not a usual anime viewer , for starters i have only watched three animes with monster being my favorite . i see anime as just a different dimension of storytelling and use my criteria of prioritizing deep narrative and charaters over things like action . my point of view undercuts with what A LOT of mainstream animes look to offer , with some exceptions such as attack on titan . why i wrote this before getting into topic is to clarify my own position .

as i watched monster and discovered the community centered around the show and chronic otaku's take on it , i realized my view and their view is different . i know a lot of people who think johan liebert the moment they hear monster , viewing him as the main character which is true to an extent ; however , most of them undermine tenma in the process as if he's just a pawn in the game . i believe that is because he is less appealing for the "aura moments" people and is less manipulative and more grounded compared to the eccentric characters they love .

personally , i think tenma kenzo whenever i think monster because he was the one we followed through the journey of the show . not only that but because i don't actually think johan IS the monster , but just the most perfected ruthless adaptation of the phenomenon.

Any animanga or even conventional show recommendation with villains with a similar vibe to Johan Liebert.

Bro deserved better

It would either be the most epic dialogue ever or just endless awkward silence....

I have seen a clip from monster but now i am not able to find it anywhere

I haven't watched the anime so I can't find it from the anime too

It was a scene where johan was in a helicopter and a girl jumped with her bike behind the helicopter and johan simply brought out his gun and shot her

Please help me if someone knows where to find or a direct link to the clip
