It was SO FUCKING LOOOONG

...

I dropped it at the library scene.

They followed the entire manga nearly panel by panel.

> When you start to believe that maybe they were right when they said young people don't have an attention span.

ITT: Overrated Shit.

What was this show about?

A doctor tracking a serial killer in late 20th century Germany.

Japanese Doctor in Germany totally fucks up by doing his job right

I dropped the anime and went to read the manga because while I liked the anime adaptation, I wanted to get to the end as fast as possible so I prefered reading the manga first and then go to the anime

was it worth it?

yes

Friendly reminder that Johan got away with everything.

this lol
it also has a stupid open ending, you are supposed to speculate about what happened after the hospital scene

I wanted to drop it at that scene but decided to find out how it ends. Curiosity got the best of me.

user, anime isn't like your wife looking for BBC - length really doesn't matter when it comes to quality. Monster apparently suffers from things like slow pacing and filler, but both of those are important in a character-driven drama.

Which is one of the two takes when adapting shit. Other is to make it your own vision rooted in source material. Nothing pisses people off more then when studios arbitrarily change shit.

It's kind of insane, it's almost always 2 chapters per episode.

I picked it up at episode one

that bitch, jesus christ you had to remind me.

not too long honestly

>it was SO FUCKING LOOOONG

That's what she said.

pleb detected

Don't forget boring

dropped it at the hospital bed scene

i know right? how many more people died because he was too much of a brainwashed pacifist pussy????!!!!

WHAT? YOURE TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY TO KILL A MASS MURDERER??? REALLY???

FUCK YOU!!!!!

One guy chases another guy for 76 episodes and doesn't catch him.

I just saved you 25 hours of your life.

Manga was better cause you could read it at your own pace.I actually found it more thrilling cause read through it quite quickly compared to the anime snail pace.

same

>Madhouse's adaptation of a popular series once again outed as poor

they can't catch a break

Urasawa women are terribly overlooked

Billy Bat was better. Wonder if that will ever get an anime series.

Sup Forums quick survey

Monster vs 20th Century Boys vs Vagabond vs Berserk

no and no

Meaningless comparison. I pick Vagabond.

i kept saying the manga has better art and better pacing
why would you watch the anime when it's exactly the same but the art is fucking hideous and it'll take you 5 times longer to finish it

johan was fuckin terrifying tho

she was so fuckable during that scene she was going to be fucked by bald man or something alike

when she was wearing this dress?

>71 episodes
>long
bruh, are you even trying?

o-oh my

>Johan can somehow 100% perfectly cosplay his sister down to the most minute detail
Huh? It's like when Death Note casually asks you to accept that Gevanni was able to perfectly replicate the entire notebook in 24 hours

they were literal twins and some men just have more androgynous faces
he clearly looked more like his mom than his dad

I loved how german the show felt, they really did the setting justice

should i watch or read it

read it, don't bother with the anime

Do both. Read it first then watch
