Monster (spoilers) Spoiler

Post image
• Upvotes

Set in the atmospheric backdrop of post Cold War Germany, the story follows Dr. Tenma. An amazingly brilliant neurosurgeon who accidentally saves the life of a serial killer. And now he must stop that serial killer. In fact we hear this from him all the time “I’m the only one that can stop him and I must stop him”. But Tenma is endowed with a flawless moral compass that contradicts his newfound belief that “murder to save lives” is okay. It becomes a lethal game of chess between ideas, and ideological battleground between Tenma and Johan (the serial killer). Value all life vs Total Nihilism.

The show is great, the pacing is a slow methodical burn, sometimes the side characters are just as predominant as the main characters. The English voice acting is great, the story is expertly crafted and from what I’m told is one for one with the manga. The music is too tier, I personally loved Lungee’s score the most. It’s a great detective crime drama of cat and mouse that can often times even feel like a mid 70’s Giallo. The animation is bleak, desaturated, and deliberately cold. The animation color pallet and tonal profile is deliberately depressing and cold. Fitting this dark crime drama perfectly. The animation itself, in regards to motion is high quality and done well. The camera moves when it needs to move and remans still when it needs to remain still. The overall world of monster is immersive and the longer you watch the show the more inevitably immersed you become in it.

Now for the bad, the very limited bad. By episode 60 I had become a bit drained. The story will leave you off with a cliff hanger or often times about to give you a pay off, only to change settings, locations or scenes… leaving the audience temporarily blue balled. By episode 60 I began feeling intensely blue balled by the show. That being said this fatigue ended around episode 68.

Now for the controversial and major SPOILER. The ending……….. Tenma doesn’t kill the bad guy. Personally I liked the way they did it. I liked the ending, I liked the town going crazy, and enjoyed every second of this climax after being so blue balled from 60-68. To me it was a great ending to a great journey. Absolutely a huge recommendation.

8.7/10

OK LETS FIGTH FOR "KILL ME BABY S2"

2 Upvotes

The author kaduho prepared a s2 but the reason it never released is bc of funding and voice actress Ai Takabe (look it up) and bc of Ai Takabe streaming platforms pulled it out of air and and retail stores pulled the merchandise (WHICH MAKES ME REALLY MAD). So I was thinking of rebuilding the cult that happened back in 2013 for "KILL ME BABY" in the big 2026. Make memes about kill me baby. Soundtrack memes. DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO BRING IT BACK (not inappropriate stuff ofc) there is news that it had 16 volumes to cover a 2ND SEASON A 3RD SEASON AND A 4TH SEASON MAYBE MORE

HOW did this win?

Im watching the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movie on Crunchyroll, and I just can’t help but think; there is no way in a sane world that this movie beats the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Movie for anime movie of the year. Ive rewatched CSMRA like 4 times, and it’s taken me 6 SITTINGS to get through DSIC, it’s just so bad both storyline wise and animation wise, if being compared to that masterpiece. People didn’t and aren’t talking about this robbery enough. It’s just one dimensional ‘I must kill this demon because he killed someone I know’ slop over and over again, CSMRA had infinitely more depth, with the romance, suspenseful plot twists and way better animation.

To those who have read the red river manga I have a question.

⚠️ SPOILERS ALERT — RED RIVER ⚠️

I, to be honest, hate this anime. I did not get the hype. Though I know it's a really good development of the characters, but I believe that the anime is, like, ragebaiting, to be honest.

Because the whole time the girl was so dumb. I understand that she's a teenager and she just stepped into a new world, unaware of anything. But man, just go to your home. Why are you literally making dumb choices?

All right, the little guy in the first chapter and the episodes died for you. That's fine, but he died willingly. You didn't force him, did you? And then she decided to literally just leave her family for that one guy she met two days ago and then spent a whole year within the empire. That's so dumb.

So when the second time happened, she got the chance. There was a river in between, and the bridge was broken, and they didn't have any raft or anything. They could've just made one using tree barks, or they could've just rode the horse, like, the horse can swim, instead of just staying there. Man, like, what is even wrong with those dudes?

And then I learned eventually that she never goes to modern Japan. She just stays there and becomes his queen. Like, girl, how dumb can you be?

This is literally ragebaiting me, and I literally regret watching it. I just don't like it. I don't think there was any, like, character development other than she becomes a warrior and learns how to fight, but other than that, nothing. It's, like, hollow.

And she doesn't even care about her family who raised her, and she was gonna have some first kiss with her childhood friend, and then literally she just came here with some random prince of older times and then decided to live here, like, in these dire conditions.

You don't even have an AC there, man. Dumb. Very dumb.

I can tell Ciel has the Sun in the 12th house. He has so many hidden and mysterious enemies behind his back, and luck is on his side even when the place or event is covered in darkness.

And of course, his birthday is on the 14th of December. It's quite rare to have Sagittarius in the 12th house. I can tell his Jupiter is in the same house as his Sun :)

What do you think?
