Monster Episode 21 Reaction

Next episode is one of the toppers

“Who plays Skylar White in breaking bad” 11:06

this a comment in the monster episode 1 on youtube, because the effort of the usser @Ber-p-prat_NAT i wanted to posted it here so there is more chance for the girls to read it: I'm glad they're reacting to such a masterpiece! Naoki Urasawa is truly incredible. Anyway, here are some recs👇🏼 (+ an explanation about demographies, which I hope mods can send it to the girls!) RECOMMENDATIONS: • Fruits Basket (2019) (61 episodes) (completed) Drama about trauma, grief, found family, healing, and much more. • Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) (39 episodes) (completed) Deconstruction of gender roles. FULL of METAPHORES and SYMBOLISM, while it explores MYSOGINY. • Nana (2006) (47 episodes) 2 oposite girls named Nana meet in a train to Tokyo. 1 wants to become a rock star, the other... A deep & painful narration of their lifes, surrounded by flawed characters like them. • Chihayafuru (2012) (74 episodes) A sport anime about a japanese game (Karuta). But it's MUCH MORE. You have to experience it. The equivalent of Haikyuu, but even better in almost every aspect imo. • Natsume's Book of Friends (2008. Still ongoing) (around 83 episodes). A story about healing. A fantastical tale about a boy who can see Yōkai (creatures from japanese folklore). The main character is the definition of "MY BOY! MY BABY BOY!". • The Rose of Versailles (1979) (40 episodes) (completed). One of the most influential manga EVER, with an incredible adaptation to anime. Set in the French Revolution, we follow the story of Lady Oscar (a girl raised as a boy, who becomes Commander of the Royal Guard) and Maria Antoinette (future Queen of France). A political drama, filled with fights, angst and social critique. • Banana Fish (2018) (24 episodes) (Completed) Crimes, Mafia, Drugs, Drama... set in New York in the 1980's. • Yona of the dawn (2015) (24 episodes) Adventure, journey, trauma, action... ± equivalent to One Piece. Is one of the best selling manga ever, and has more than 50 volumes published... but we only have one season for the anime🥲 • Skip Beat! (2008) (24 episodes) A fun yet deep story ablut a girl trying to join the entertainment industry. Hilarious humor, and nice emotional exploration of each character's trauma. • Kageki Shôjo! (2021) (13 episodes) Girls joining a theatrical academy, to become performers. The main characters are sunshine, and it's super fun! It has some triggering stuff (it deals with sexual abuse, alimentary disorders, and more...). The manga just keeps getting better, so I hope they do more seasons... • Kids on the Slope (2012) (12 episodes) Musical drama set in the 1960's. About Jazz, family, friends, and social unjustices. • Paradise Kiss (2005) (12 episodes) By the same mangaka who made Nana. This one is about a girl who wants to learn about the fashion industry. • Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (2016) (25 episodes) Deep drama, around the japanese storytelling traditional performances of Rakugo • Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) (11 episodes) (Complete) A fantastical story about healing and mourning the dead. It uses some supernatural elements, and has a unique narration style. About an adult young man who falls in love with an woman (a bit older than him) who works on a flower shop. But then, he starts seeing rhe ghost of her dead husband!? There's also Uramichi Oniisan (dark humor about working adults), and Nondame Cantabile (orchestral drama?), and many others... EXPLANATION: I wrote this because I've noticed most of the anime they've reacted are shonen or seinen (for example: Haikyuu→Shonen; Attack on Titan→ Shonen; Death Note→Shonen; Frieren→Shonen; Fullmetal Alchemist→ Shonen; HunterXHunter→Shonen; Ranking of Kings →Shonen; Vinland Saga→ Seinen; Monster→Seinen) So, how does this whole thing work? Manga is published in magazines. The magazines are categorized in demographies. The demographies are: Shonen→young/teen boy Seinen→Adult man Shōjo→young/teen girl Josei→Adult woman Kodomo→Kids Inside every demography there are manga of ANY genre (⚠️It's NOT "romance = for girls". There's drama, fantasy, horror, adventure, and any genre you can imagine). Even within every demography, each magazine has different age groups (some shonen are more "mature", and others are more "childish"). All of this is just the TARGET. Once the manga is published, obviously anyone can read it and enjoy it regardless of gender. It's just a label. It can seem sexist to say that there's "manga for boys/girls", but as I said, it's just the target (every product sold anywhere, has a target, and it influences the way it's done, promoted, announced, etc). Because of the patriarchal state of the world, manga targeted to women is usually LESS promoted, LESS adapted to anime (and when they are, often have mediocre adaptations, and almost always have just 1 season of 12 episodes, leaving the story unfinished). This is very sad, because there are MANY INCREDIBLY AMAZING stories that are invisibilized and ignored by the readers/watchers and companies. ❗Watching shonen and seinen is not an issue by itself (Vinland Saga is one of my favourite manga ever). That's just how the industry works; those are the ones who become famous/popular. But, even if it's not a "problem", I highly encourage you to check shōjo and josei anime. 😅Anyway, I'm sorry for this long text. I know it might be hard for these to win polls, as the most famous are usually shonen and seinen... but I hope you'll still give them a chance! :D

this show is about to go into uncharted waters pretty soon. get ready gals.

I love you Roberto

Lola's bangs casually matching Anna/Nina's XD

robert = roberto 🗣

This episode is so good for Nina's character. Love her.

Nina couldn't kill Michael Müller after seeing him as a person who was enjoying “the taste of sugar”. Also just in case: Watch 23-24 together, then 25-74. Good luck finding a moment to stop after episode 25 :D

Tbh I don’t blame you if you don’t recognize some of these characters. If there is one criticism about the author is the fact that sometimes the way he designs characters can be really same..ish. By that I mean his art style while is somehow unique, can also lead to some character designs having the same faces or even look the same. Still Urasawa is one of the goats in manga.
