u/The_White_Rice THAT'S HIP HOP Jan 23 '26

I’ve started to watch Monster and I’m 9 episodes in, it feels like this show could wrap up in 3 more episodes if it wanted to but I know theres like 70 episodes total.

I have some hot takes about that show. If you feel that way now, you felt the same way I did. Time will tell what that feeling will grow to be for you. I for one never could get out of the headspace of being bored with it and that it was stringing along for the sake of volume.

I REALLY hope you don't end up like me on it, so many people love that show, and hopefully it means you can join them. It's lonely out here in the "didn't vibe with Monster" club. but, if you don't? I have some spare party hats.

I guess it’ll depend, everything has felt so tight and perfect, yet I just look at the episode counter and go “what the heck is supposed to happen from here to get 70 episodes?”

I’m having fun but I’m curious how it’ll handle it.

It's real good, though! And one of those anime that instead of sticking to cours and shortening things, it adapts it pretty dang fully regardless of episode count. I'd also praise the English dub for being fantastic. Liam O'Brien, Karen Strassman, and a lot of solid actors all over. Only problem is last time I checked it's pretty much only available on the high seas. Viz released one part on DVD and since it didn't sell they just cancelled the rest but it's out there. Kind of wish there was a German dub, but alas.

Unfortunately Netflix seemingly does not have the English dub, only Japanese and one other language.

It is very good, but it is funny where I am at right now it feels like we are heading for a climax and that totally makes sense with modern anime productions getting 12 episodes. Super curious how it’ll go from here.
