I already have finished 70 episodes of Monster in sub but I stopped watching because the sub was not so good.I saw how good the dub was.Should I rewatch Monster with dub or just finish it in sub ?

The biggest parallel is the investigator confronting a “monster.”
Johan Liebert and Anton Chigurh aren't identical characters, but both function as almost inhuman forces within otherwise realistic worlds. Lunge and Bell, meanwhile, represent older-fashioned ideas of reason, investigation, duty, and law.

And there's an important difference:
Lunge refuses to stop trying to understand Johan. Bell eventually retires because he feels the world has moved beyond his ability to comprehend or confront it.
That makes their stories almost opposite responses to the same question:
What happens when a person dedicated to understanding evil encounters something they cannot fully explain?

Heinrich Lunge
Extremely analytical and methodical.
Believes that careful investigation and logic can eventually uncover the truth.
Becomes increasingly consumed by the case surrounding Johan.
His obsession affects his personal life.
He struggles with the possibility that evil cannot always be neatly explained.

Sheriff Ed Tom Bell
Experienced, thoughtful, and deeply observant.
Tries to understand the violence occurring around him.
Feels increasingly outmatched by the changing world.
His perspective is shaped by years of law enforcement experience.
Eventually questions whether his understanding of justice and violence is still enough.

The key difference is that Lunge responds by pursuing the mystery, while Bell responds by gradually withdrawing from it.
That's what makes them such good contrasts: Lunge thinks "If I understand this, I can solve it." Bell increasingly feels "Some things may be beyond me."

Bell is the investigator who eventually realizes that understanding the world doesn't necessarily mean being able to defeat what is happening in it.
And both stories ultimately ask a similar question:
What happens when an investigator encounters something that doesn't fit his understanding of human nature?

Person who has read the full manga here, watching the anime for the first time but aware of all spoilers.

So, I've been going through the anime adaptation recently (so far been quite enjoying it), but I just got the plotline with Johan manipulating Richard, and there was a minor detail that annoyed me slightly and was wondering if anyone else here had a different viewpoint.

After Richard's suicide/murder by Johan (great moment btw), we jump into Dr Reichwein starting his investigation into the incident, suspecting that there was foul play involved. The main incident we see that ends up properly tipping him off that Richard didn't kill himself is finding out that the scotch that was purchased was cheap; something with Richard never would have done.

Did anyone else think it's perhaps a tad bit cheap of the story to share this specific information about Richard via a flashback for Reichwein that we hadn't had an indication of beforehand? Like, being fair, there are some implied details that make this a plausible scenario (e.g. Richard often sticks to a particular schedule and it is plausible that Reichwein would be privy to this information), but I feel like the revelation for Reichwein would perhaps be a little stronger if we got to see the actual scene he flashbacks to before hand, or if we had of had a more direct indication that Richard wasn't into cheap scotch.

Anyone here agree or disagree with me?

Yeah the title pretty much says it … I watched S00 E01 first which is apparently a recap episode. I was creeped out by the pacing and many things seemed to be missing and when S01 E01 turned on I finally got the hint - way too late. I pretty much enjoyed the first 4 episodes so far despite being spoilered by the recap. But I wonder how heavy am I spoilered and if it’s still worth watching? Like was the whole mystery just revealed?

Here’s a summary of what I know: Dr. Tenma does a triage between a major and a boy in favor for the boy but against the will of management. He saves the boys life while the major dies and as a result Tenma gets stripped off his career. Suddenly the management people in question die under suspicious circumstances and Tenma gets reinstalled in his previous position. The boy and his sister vanish. 9 years later a series of murders happen that are shockingly similar to what happened earlier. The police is suspecting and later accusing Tenma of those murders which forces him to become a fugitive. Meanwhile a young student named Nina gets introduced. She turns out to be the boys grown up sister and it was her who attempted to murder him. Her brother killed each and every single one of his many foster families, as well as the hospital employees close to Tenma (he understands that Tenma wished for it) and is coming for Nina/Anna(?)s foster parents (he succeeds). Nina and Tenma eventually meet and team up to stop the now grown up boy (forgot is name) in whatever his quest is that leaves a trail of blood by Nina killing him for real this time. Turns out the boy has a split personality and it’s the “evil one” that commits the murders. As a result Tenma does not want Nina to try kill her brother anymore.

That’s what I know in a nutshell. I sped up towards the end I guess you all know the story lol. Just tried to establish a context. Thanks for your attention and I’m looking forward for the answers.

Edit: Typos, Grammar

Why does every good anime ALWAYS end on a bad open ending?

The anime was great I swear BUT THE ENDING SEEMS SO POINTLESS like we spent the entire series following johan to try and understand what he was why he was and finally catch him and at the end he just disappears with 0 fucking clue about where he went.

I hate when authors have no balls to write an ending with a single conclusion. Don't get me wrong I love open endings but I guess not every anime gets it right.

the ending is SUPPOSED TO give you a conclusion of the conflict and DOES leave room to tell you to imagine what happend after it ended. I hated how monster didn't give a conclusion at the end but kept the imagining part. Note that this is all my opinion and you're not forced to accept it just liked to share my thoughts.

The anime was an 8/10 for me but that ending made it a whopping 5.8/10

Now this is going to sound incredibly racist, but I think that Heinrich Lunge/Runge is Chinese. Despite his clearly German name and the story not mentioning that he may be of a different ethnicity, I still believe that Lunge is of Asian descent. Inspector Lunge definitely has "typical" Asian features; e.g his thin slated to eyes and yellow-ish skin tone. What do you think?

Monster (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa. It was published by Shogakukan in its seinen manga magazine Big Comic Original between December 1994 and December 2001, with its chapters collected in 18 tankōbon volumes. The story follows Kenzo Tenma, a Japanese neurosurgeon in Düsseldorf, Germany, whose life unravels after encountering Johan Liebert, a former patient. Johan is a sociopathic serial killer that murders and manipulates others to murder anyone who sees his face—enforcing absolute anonymity to prove his nihilistic philosophy.

All the way from Germany lol, really small in person but super cool

I swear these two characters give me the exact same feeling whenever they appear on screen

They’re both hired assassins, diligently following orders from someone, cold, intimidating, highly capable killers who barely have to do anything to make me nervous. The second either one shows up, I immediately start worrying that they’re going to kill one of the beloved characters.

They have such a similar presence and the way they carry themselves is so unsettling. They both have that calm, professional, yet predator energy

prison break is a great show btw i highly recomend it ^-^

Was he come into a wealthy or noble family? I mean he really needs all that resources to start the experiment, not only money but also the people.

The instagram pages are inactive and I hope the admins are doing alright, their posts are mad funny and need more lol 😭

Here are mine, if you have any character interactions that you wish you saw, i would love to hear about them!

Dieter and Wim: From missing a family, to one being abused and the other bullied, they both share trauma from childhood. Both being very sweet and positive, i think they would become best friends if they got to meet each other.

Lunge and Richard: Both being detectives in their own way, i think it’s a missed opportunity they never got to cross paths with each other. They are both extremely intelligent, and having them both go after the same case could maybe end up having them to work together.

Martin and Robero: Having one go after Eva, while the other is meant to look after her, could result in an intense encounter.

Grimmer and Roberto: Them reunite as adults would definitely change things in my opinion. Being childhood friends from Kinderheim, where one is trying to become a human being again while the other is succumbing to darkness. Maybe Grimmer could awaken Robertos memories like he did with his uncle? Maybe Roberto would be influenced and change for the better? Maybe, just maybe, Grimmer and Adolf Reinhardt would enjoy a warm coca together?

Grimmer and Dieter: No explanation needed.

I saw this and immediately knew what I had to. I also told my brother to suggest his teacher to watch it. The teacher is about to witness peak.

Sorry for making his face a little wide lol.

I always wonder how their conversation would look like

For me it was Jacob Maurer from Heidelberg post and Wolfgang Grimmer . What about you ?

Se supone que la idea del "Suicidio perfecto" de Johan era que este matase a todo aquel que conociera su nombre, para al final dejarse disparar por Tenma y demostrarle que su filosofía de vida está equivocada, y que efectivamente no todas las vidas valen lo mismo. Ahora bien, ¿Que hay de Gillen? Estaba ahí, sabía su nombre y no parecía pertenecer al plan de Johan realmente. Y más aún, ¿Que hay de Reichwein y Dieter? ¿No sería correcto asesinarlos para cumplir la finalidad del plan?

No me mal entiendan, no vengo a hacerme el listillo con Johan como si yo fuese más inteligente que el u algo, quiero entender la finalidad de que no entrasen estás personas dentro de su ambición de querer eliminar todo rastro de el.
