*** 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...
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
**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.
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
*** 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.
Anime-Kraze just released eps 26 and 27.
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
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.
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
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
*** Spoiler to ep 28 ***
Yeah, it's too bad more people aren't watching this, although I am glad I have someone to talk with about it. Ep 28 was great. Very creepy when the detective was looking into that dark window... and then having all those near-misses... and at the end finally putting it all together. He is SO going to die.
It's also cool how Johan used the same tactics that he used on Wolfe to isolate Schuwald. I wonder what is so important about the man that Johan dedicated three years to messing with him?
Anime-Kraze released 29. http://anime-kraze.org/.
Yo' GS... are you watching Monster? I just yesterday i think you were planning on picking it up...
Spoilers up to 29
Episode 29 has to be the most awesome episode recently... i feel bad for that detective guy... I really hoped it was his daughter who he spoked to on the phone...
*** Spoilers to 30 ***
I liked Robert. I knew he was going to die, but damn it... When John held out the bottle and was said "Here..." it was one of the most evil moments I have seen in anime. Ep 30 with his family crying at his funeral and almost noone else there was so sad...
The rest of the ep had some nice suspence though, with Johan winding that guy up and setting him loose on the psychiatrist. The scene with the psychiatrist giving those punks a beat-down was nice too. This arc's been good but I'm glad Tenma is back.
am i the only one who reads the manga here. the storyline is decent, i wish it had more badass characters though.
Yeah, I usually like watching anime over reading manga. No one in the series has any special powers or can knock people through brick walls, but I thought Nina was pretty badass, Tenma now too, and I wouldn't want to mess with Eva. And of course Johan....
