Monster: The Reason we Watch Anime


When it comes to anime, very few titles grab you, and don't let go. Titles which represent equal parts suspense, action, comedy, and even fear itself are rare in their own right. In comes Naoki Urasawa and his creation, "Monster". Monster is a long running series of seventy-four episodes, with a couple recap specials thrown in. For those still on the fence, here is a basic plot summary.

"Anime series based on the famous "Monster" manga by Naoki Urasawa.

Dr. Kenzo Tenma is a very talented Japanese doctor and he's praised
by all doctors in Germany. But after he saw how a woman cried for her
man who died because someone else got more priority, he changed. He
decides he wouldn't let anyone pass; everyone is equal.

But one day, Tenma has to work on a little boy who was shot during
the murder of his parents. He decides he will save the life of the boy,
because he was first in line.

But then, the children disappear .. and the murders begin. Tenma,
feeling both guilt and worry, goes off to investigate the case since he
feels that it somehow relates to him ... and the horror begins, for both
Tenma and everyone he meets in search for the children..."

What are you waiting for, marathon it now!
