Monster Episode 49 Reaction

incredible writing. it's telegraphed that Grimmer would be out there to tell Milos he's wanted. but the closer it gets to that moment, the more it seems it won't happen. so when it does, that hug all the more powerful

Monster would work as a non-anime TV show? Well, the writer of Monster said an American TV show influenced him in making the story, so yes it would.

I think last time I cried that much watching an anime was look back, what an insane character, I love Grimmer

Gut wrenching episode.

I just love the way Urasawa writes. He’s always giving side stories and side characters a big moment across multiple episodes or arcs, and drops these tiny hints for the main plot in them, like Johan’s reaction to “My mom will recognize me". You can always tell when it’s Urasawa, and you will notice the same vibe in Pluto too, when we watch it in summer!

In case you forgot, we're watching PEAK Anime/Manga storytelling here. One of my favorite episodes in any Anime ever. That last scene with Grimmer and Milos is SO layered its insane. Grimmer is, on the surface, speaking to Milos about being wanted. But subconsciously, Grimmer speaking about his Son being wanted even though he never cried for him after he died. Grimmer is also crying for himself and telling his younger self that he was wanted and here for a reason even though he was placed into Kinderheim. When Grimmer lifts Milos from over the bars, I have to imagine its a VERY similar experience to when he lifted his lifeless son over the bars of his crib. Milos was lifeless and Grimmer, through expressing emotions he could never express for his dead son, brings Milos "back to life". Just an INCREDIBLE scene in terms of writing and subtext.

Them saying "this show has been so fun" in the intro LOLL

Monster is one of the best shows in all fiction

I wish you all have a Grimmer in your life

this episode gave me a feeling that ive never had watching any other shows from and idk how to describe it.

Tengo que comentar en español ya que le prometí a alguien que practicara mi español.. ahh este episodio es fuerte si tienes un lado sensible o no te gusta ver niños traumatizados lol y sabiendo que ustedes chicas tienen mucha simpatía por los niños en general, sabia que no iban a disfrutar mucho este capítulo en ese sentido :P

Monster is a happy show :D

I was so scared for this episode lol

My favorite episode of the series

This episode hit me like a freight train the first time. People can be monsters.

It’s safe to say we’ve all been waiting for you guys to get to this episode. This is why everyone loves Grimmer. Genuinely, from here on out, the show is just incredible episode after incredible episode.

It literally made me sick the first time I watched it

Omg here we go. I feel so bad for whoever edited this one.

I have eagerly been awaiting this episode. I am so glad to finally watch it. Although that gratefulness may not extend to you guys, haha...
