i dont know what u mean by predictable...
what was predictable?
the part being "who" killed the 3 guys?
the watcher (especially in the anime) was suppose to know
who killed them before the end of episode 4...nothing to predict about.

instead, the anime make u wander "WHY he was capable of doing that".
if u think the anime is too predictable, im assuming u already know why
Yohan was shot in the head, why the lil girl was the only surviver, and why
Yohan is out killing people.
unless u read the manga, u would not know why.

It's an opinion, there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Lets not take this thread into discussing Naruto. All that I'll say is that most of the forum probably differs from you on that opinion.

The most interesting character in the show so far is the Detective, does anyone know if we'll see any backstory on him? Why he's so relentless or anal? No spoilers, a simple yes or no will do.

cant remember if there will be backstory to the detective, but there will be much backstory to johan and his sister.

actually i think you are wrong. Naruto is popular only because it fills a niche, not because it is of outstanding quality. Also Naruto is a long running series and statistically, long running series tend to have fanbases that are loyal despite the quality of the show in question (eg. Star Trek, X-files , Friends). These shows remain popular simply because they have run so long, and audiences have invested so much emotionally into it that ppl would watch even if the scripts were periodically written by a drunken spastic monkey.

If one were to take and compare Naruto up against every other long running series ever made and rated for storyline/animation/etc etc, it would probably score on the averagish side.

Also unlike most secular long running series, Naruto has simply no competition. Look at it this way, the only other long running series of notable quality is FMA and thats already 32/52 done. Naruto is not even close to resolving itself at 83 episodes.

The truth of the matter is that time moves on , quality anime series come and go, but Naruto remains.

So pls friends stop confusing popularity with quality. It is tiresome. If you like Naruto go ahead and enjoy it. There is no shame in that. Just dont go off spouting that its better than anything else cause it really isnt.




Coming back to monster ..... yeah it looks good, but its also one of those animes where you need to maintain a steady momentum in order sustain a great interest in it.

Its better to watch it several episodes at a time rather than keeping pace with the releases.

going back to monster after watching eps of Kono-mini and Tenjou Tenge kind of detracts from it quite abit IMO.


PS: To address the issue that some ppl might raise on the subject of Initial D being on par or surpassing Naruto:-

It doesnt ... Naruto is better
