Someone explain to me how this show has virtually zero discussion whatosever around it.
It's a fucking crime that this masterpiece doesn't get the credit it deserves.
fuck off to /a/ kid
>>71083034
It's old.
Takes place in Germany but everybody speaks Japanese.
It was made in the wrong medium and shouldn't have been an anime in the first place.
Discussed to death, comes up in GOAT threads all the time. I still haven't seen it, but I still know that.
>>71083034
Shit Ending.
Also >>>/a/
You're on a the wrong board and years too late. /a/ used to discuss Monster a long time ago. If you want to discuss it, make a thread there right now and I'm sure there are plenty of anons who want to have a nostalgic discussion of a good show.
>>71083202
Christ this might be the dumbest post on /tv/ today. And that is saying something.
>>71083266
Yea what was with the pretty shit ending
Show was fucking great otherwise. Would've been whether it was anime or not. Although I think that a few of the characters like Johan do benefit from being animated. Was very well written
Why the FUCK do they make dozens of shitty loli shows every year but 20th Century Boys doesn't get an anime?
Manga >show. Show had a yawn inducing phase holding it back. And Pluto is a way better work of his.
>>71083407
dat otaku money son. that's where you make the big bucks. make seasonal shows and selling overpriced shit to crazed fans.
>>71083407
20th Century Boys got three movies, so there's that.
>OH EM GEEEE THE JAPANESE GUY GOES TO NEW A TOWN
>OH EM GEE SOMEBODY SUSPECTS ABOUT HIM OR ALREADY KNOWS THAT HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A CRIEM
>NOPE HE ACTUALLY A GUD BOY AND HE DOES GOOD THING
>USUAL WEABOO OVERACTING FROM THE ANNOYING FEMALE TWIN
>OK, SEE YA GUYZ LATER LOL, GOTTA CATCH UP WITH A GUY NOBODY KNOWS WHICH MAKES NO SENSE LMAO
Repeat for 60 episodes and this is pretty much this crap
is it worth checking out?
I've started it probably a dozen times, but for some reason always lose interest maybe 10-20 episodes in.
>>71083034
>Status Quo: the Anime
Literally nothing happens in this piece of shit. 76 episodes of pure tediousness, only to let Johan walk out like nothing happened. I'm not exaggerating when I say Monster was the biggest waste of time in my entire life. I have no idea how anyone could call this garbage watchable, let alone good. I'm under the impressions weebs pretend to like it to feel like their childish hobby is mature.
forehead pointing anime
20th Century Kids is better.
Fucking lmaoing
Do 15 year /v/ teens actually believe this?
I have only read the manga. How is the anime?
>>71083034
>entry level anime
>good
kek
>>71083407
20th Century Boys isn't even good. After the first time skip, it falls the fuck off.
>>71083034
If Hollywood is so he'll bent on making an anime movie worm they should just make it for monster. Its right fucking there.
>>71085015
Death Note comes first. If that's a hit? That opens up the floodgates.
>>71085405
You can't make a single movie out of either of those, and Death Note is too stupid to work as a gateway movie.
I'd personally opt for an HBO-tier Baccano! mini-series.
>>71085517
It's happening on Netflix. Shooting starts in a few weeks. If you want more high-budget anime and manga adaptions, hope that it makes money.

>>71085405
the gateway will be the jojo live action movie
and it will be complete shit
This is the only anime I ever watched. It dragged on too long and it was retarded how Tenma could just go wherever not getting even questioned by police.
Is all anime like this? Am I supposed to take these plot holes with a grain of salt?
>>71083034
It really wasn't.
Urasawa always draws you into thinking his work is good with its realistic setting, characters and an intriguing thematic premise, and it really is pretty good until the story goes on and on and you realize that it's really not doing anything interesting and tries to hide it with really boring and cheap plot contrivances.
>>71085717
God. Ryuk was so terrible in the Japanese live-action movies, I honestly can't even picture what a well-done version would look like.
There are some things that simply can't be adapted to live action, like pretty much all of One Piece. It's over the top and comical and cartoonish, and that's why it works in a cartoon.
>>71085768
that's Japan, right?
They already did like 3 Death Note movies, a drama series, 2 Attack on Titan movies and whatever else that the west loves. All sub-par.
I wouldn't hope for something like Jojo's to be a gateway to anything.
>>71085862
He looked creepy as shit in his own right, but the CGI wasn't up to snuff. I hope that the american version can get him right.
being an anime fan I actually didn't liked it that much it has a HArrison ford The fugitive vibe but Naoki Urasawa can construct a beautiful plot only to shit on the ending. 20 th century boys also has a shit ending I think the only one that could do decent would be Pluto but even that's a stretch. Death note series on Netflix would be awesome butis never going to happen
/tv/ is filled with normal fags. Different boards means different type of people.

>Someone explain to me how this show has virtually zero discussion whatosever around it.
>weeb shit
I wonder
Daily reminder that YOTSUBA is only good manga.
rest all is weeboo bullshit.
>>71086514
But Yotsuba has only ever been a manga, so of course it's only good as a manga.
>>71086514
t. weeb trash
>>71086514
Watch out, /v/ manga buff over here
>>71086514
nah, naruto is much better.
>>71083407
>>71083424
This.
Pluto is a masterpiece.
Already has Astroboy/Atom as a character the western public knows.
Great story too.
/a/ here, it's overrated shit.
>>71087044
moshi moshi faggot cock suckre
>>71087044
yeah this, /a/ here too, Grimgar is much bett- I mean Dagashi Kash- I mean uh Baka no- Christ, what the fuck is it this season? Whatever, doesn't really matter.
Anyway
>I want to smell her smelly socks!
>Is this a boy?
>Is she a virgin? This is important
>>71085873
the american live action jojo, you buffoon
nobody cares about japan's live action anime adaptation industry.
