@@ladygrinningsoul357 I think the end completes the end of the book story, or so suggests the fact that the empty room is framed in the credit's scene at the end. Tenma calls Johan by his true name releasing him from the monster that had possessed him. But this is no naive ending because the boy who had no name also disappears without a trail. The evil was stopped, but the boy of flesh and blood is gone.
I find it crazy how the show reveals so much about Johan to us, and despite it all, it still feels like we barely know who he truly is. There’s no way anyone can truly understand the trauma he went through and how much that affected his life. Only Johan knows what that felt like. It’s out of our comprehension. That’s what makes Johan such a compelling antagonist in my opinion. Monster is such a masterpiece.
@Renegade yeah, johan is truly a devil, he doesn't have a personality, as the investigator Lunge has stated, he doesn't leave any kind of trace wherever he's been at, like he isn't real at all, almost like a character in a book or a deity, yet he impacts on the life of everyone around him, but no one can really reach out to him, not even Anna even though she's the only one capable of forgiving him
Really interesting, thats how i feel when i looked at johan it feels like i know him but i don't know him at the same time. actually i always feel pity for him i mean he don't get enough love, get brainwashed so that means his childhood get stolen by Kinderheim 511, unlike Johan atleast Nina get adopted and feel loved by her parents/friends, Johan intentions from the begining was to kill himself but before he met Tenma he tell Nina to shoot him he say that we are the same person i'm sure it's bcs Johan feel his mother love Nina more than him so it's okay if he died bcs his mother don't really care abt his existence after meet tenma He feel something interesting to play so he make a disaster so That tenma can kill him. yeah, i know he kill people but the people he killed mostly is a bad person and i'm glad that johan still live i meant he deserve to be loved, and it'll be interesting to see him live a normal life
@@mrsnufkinsan Yeah, to ask yourself if what you live is just standard, if what you ask from yourself is normal and if what you aspire to is really good or bad, it makes question yourself too. Try "homunculus" as manga, i think it's the brother of Monster.
True, a very powerful anime but also a very underrated anime, this anime has it's own way of story-telling compared to others which makes it so unique and perfect. Plus the music is pure bliss! Listening to the music on this video takes me back to 2014-2015 when I first watched Monster and this anime really affected me.
THE MONSTER WITH NO NAME Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a nameless monster. The monster was dying to have a name, so the monster set out on a journey to find one. But the world was a very large place. The monster split into two and went on their way. One monster went East. One went to the West. The monster who went to the East found a village. At the village's entrance there lived a blacksmith. "Mr.Blacksmith, give me your name" said the monster. "I can't give you my name" the blacksmith replied. "In return for giving me your name, I'll go inside of you and make you strong." "Really? If you make me strong, I'll give you my name." The monster went inside the blacksmith. Thus, the monster became, Otto the blacksmith. Otto the blacksmith was the strongest man in the village. But then one day... "Look at me, look at me. The monster inside me is getting so big" He said. Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside out. Once again, he was a monster without a name. When he went inside Hans the shoemaker, however... Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. When he went inside Thomas the hunter, but... Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp.The monster was nameless once again. The monster went to a castle to find a nice name. Inside the castle lived a sick boy. "If you give me your name, I'll make you strong." "If you can heal my illness and make me strong. I'll give you my name." The monster went inside the boy. The boy became full of vigor. The king was overjoyed. "The prince is healthy. The prince is healthy." The monster liked the boy's name. He also liked living in the castle. So he restrained himself even though he was hungry. Day after day, he would be terribly hungry, but he restrained himself. But the hunger became just too great. "Look at me. Look at me. The monster inside me has gotten this big," said the boy. The boy devoured the king and and all his servants. Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. Everyone was gone, so the boy went on a journey. He walked for days and days. One day, the boy came upon the monster who had gone west. "I have a name. It's a wonderful name." Said the boy. The monster who went west replied. "I don't need a name. I'm perfectly happy without one, after all, that's what we are--nameless monsters." The boy ate up the monster who went west. At last he had found a name, but there was no longer anyone around to call him by it. Such a shame, because Johan was such a wonderful name.
The thing about monster is that it’s so underrated it dosent get a lot of attention because it’s not like other anime’s but that’s what makes it a masterpiece
I really like this style of Anime, it is completely different to the stereotypical anime that is generally released, Monster focussed heavily on the story and felt more like a tv show but in anime format, the story of monster and many things within it such as the part with Grimmer when he is leaving and saying something about 'We have to continue even through sins was really powerful. Another anime like Monster is Master Keaton, they are different storylines but they are similar in terms of how they are not your 'stereotypical' animes.
@@zoshi_1 Yessir ... Master Keaton anime was also based on the work by the same author of Monster manga.. The Mc was a zoology teacher and an insurance investigator or something like that if my memory is correct... Also there is 21st Century Boys anime (I have only read the manga,so I don't fully remember if there was an anime adaptation😅😅)..
Yeah, if Light wishes to kill Johan with a Death Note, he's gonna need to find the only two people who knows his name: Dr. Tenma and Johan's mother. But by the events of Death Note, it's hard to say if either would still be alive then.
There's an unusual comfort in the abyss. Johan is suffering tremendously; broken on such an existential level that it carries with it a sort of transcendental beauty. If you've ever been there, the world truly becomes a desolate wasteland. In that emptiness, you are physically free to do whatever you please without hesitation or fear; because there's nothing to lose.
There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster. (L.Lawliet)
'Drift' was played in the scene where Grimmer confronts Milos in ep 48 or 49 i think. That was one of the most.. i don't know how to explain without spoiling but that scene was very unbearable to watch. Thanks for this fantastic playlist ❤️ I'll be coming here often
@@elevateyoureveryday5902 Yeah! 'Johan' outdid himself, he was pure evil my God.. i was fuming that entire scene, it was gut wrenching and to top it off, Grimmer's meltdown! At least it ended well, maybe.. 😕
It was perfect wasn't it? How else would you overcome a monster like Johan with anything but love. In the deepest abyss for that poor boy someone who was raised not unlike Johan was there to tell him it was going to be alright. It makes me a bit sad him and Grimmer never meet in the show, as I think this episode parallels him and Johan quite well. It wasn't just a given that every single orphan from kinderheim (tho we know for Johan it was way more than just that place) would grow up to be sociopathic. He represented, like Tenma, a pure opposition to everything Johan wanted people to feel. I think may be the best non-narrative moving episode in the show. I actually get hit with hot tears EVERY time i see milos' little hand clenching grimmer. There's nothing in fiction I can think of that gets me that way every single time, even knowing what's coming.
User name but why? I don’t get why he burned it down and stopped caring.. why did he want to get rid of everyone ? Was he following the little boys path in the book?
@@uchiha7345 if you still want answers: Johan never cared in the first place, Absolute Nihilism is the concept of his character. When he saw the book it reminded him something about his past. And then it changed his objectives.
I used to come to this video nearly everyday through my last highschool year. I’d grab my books, put the headphones on and study for hours and hours. I haven’t watched monster by the time, and the day I finished my finals I finally did! I kept postponing it to watch it without distractions whatsoever, and it was totally worth it! I was so skeptical of my career path: I’ve always wanted to be a doctor but I feared I was not good enough. During ep 34 or so, when Dr.Tenma told the Vietnamese girl that she can be a good doctor played a major rule on how I motivated myself to just do it. Monster is absolutely my favourite anime! Dr.Tenma is so underrated. I’ve never loved a character in my life more than him. He would appear on the screen and my heart would melt. I believe we all have such nihilistic thoughts like Johan at times, and I swear Tenma would wash them away! Till this day, I come back to this video to accompany myself, remember the hardships I went through and feeling Tenma close by. “It’s a long way to go” just speaks to my soul! Perfect music, perfect anime.🤎 To be such a sweet caring doctor like Tenma is the goal.
One of the best anime I´ve watched, definitely a one of a kind. Also a series that doesn´t shy away from killing its characters, doesn´t matter whether they are likeable or not.
Same man. I just watched it in January and it's too soon for me to watch it again. I'm satiating my urge by reading the manga rn lol. Maybe in a few more months I will be able to watch it, and fully enjoy it all over again. I hope your rewatch is amazing too when you get around to it someday.
Just finished this masterpiece today . I love berserk but I’ve never ever seen such an anime that’s grounded in reality and may happen in real life . This anime hit close…to living life itself. I’ve dealt with some evil aspects of Johan in people themselves. And I’ve encountered good aspects of people as well. Seeing this anime just made me see how lifelike it is to humanity itself. It felt so raw and true. Human nature is beautiful yet terrifying and this anime perfectly captures that. Also I find this interesting how Johan and Griffith from berserk have similar traits. Both awakened a monster within themselves. Also I can reference as to how Dr. Temna is like Guts in a sense. He goes through humanity’s lowest and see the shittiest parts of it yet…he still keeps his humanity. Nina is Casca who goes through trauma (the eclipse for casca and for Nina = her horrible and traumatic childhood) and manages to be a survivor from it. Like casca’s thorned heart, Nina is the same. As time passes , both of their thorned hearts slowly heal despite it all. This fucking anime is AMAZING MAN
the most beautiful part of monster is how Johan didn't "win" by making Tenma into a monster, yet he still won by showing that people can become whatever they want to be. In us is our true willpower to be a good person or bad
More than that, he is dead inside, like every sociopath & psychopath. But Monster showed us a complex emotionless Character. The Potential of Anime/Mangas, or fictionial stories in general. He also felt sadness, for Not feeling anything.
@@Stormwing100 "Johan Liebert is not a sociopath, psychopath, nor he has anti social personality disorder. If anyone bothers to look it up, you will know that I'm telling the truth. The key and common symptoms of all these is lack of empathy and engagement in reckless behavior. Which he doesn't, you can see that he is driven by a goal, and can control himself easily. He isn't reckless, he is calm and can aim for long term goals, which all above can't. He also is capable of empathy, great at it for that matter, but to answer that one must answer what is empathy. Empathy is this the ability to feel exactly how another person feels, although you may never experienced it yourself. It is by empathy how he managed to manipulate people. He knows how another person feels, which comes in handy. Also, those tears when he talked with Karl were real. He is able to relate to the experience and therefore cried. People might connect empathy and good people together, but that is not true. Johan Liebert isn't “pure evil”. No such thing exist actually. He is all grey. Just like Professor Snape if you watch Harry potter. He cares for anna, his twin sister, and on a certain matter he cares for doctor Tenma as well. He could have killed them, (erasing his past completely, those two are those who know him the most!) but he didn't." Anonymous Answered December 23, 2018
Just finished watching Monster and it instantly became one of those pieces of media that I'll carry with me for a long time. Prob for the rest of my life. Such and interesting story with themes and characters (especially Johan), that make you think some deep level stuff. Absolutely loved it and will most likely be one of my favourites ever. Props to Naoki Urasawa for creating it.
Seriously true. When this show ended I had a new perspective on life. I felt like I could _live_ more. I was more aware of the actions of those around me, as well as my own. I can make a difference; no matter how small and insignificant. We probably only get THIS life ONCE, so we must cherish it. Lowkey went on a tangent but y'know what I mean!!? Naoki Urasawa. Genius 🙌
Everyone is talking about Johann, but nodoby talk about Tenma, make analyse on him etc. This is why the monster took his name. Nobody care about good people, everybody seems to think Tenma is a 'normal hero' for a show, but he is not. He is not because nobody support guys like Tenma in real life. In real life, nobodies will help him, everybodies will watch the news and call him a murderer. Do you understand? Nobody will risk his life to help good people at price of his own life. People, seems more close to Johann than Tenma, this is why everybody talking about him and this is why evil is everywhere. Look at Covid situation..
I'm not sure I totally understand the point you're making, but from what I can gather, yeah. What makes Naoki Urasawa's _Monster_ so perfect (in my opinion), is how *_human_* Tenma feels as a character. He is acting independent of the world for what he feels is right, but not in a "hero who is beloved by the world" kind of way. His decisions feel so natural, and while he's not being an "antihero", if this were to happen there would indeed be people who brush him off as a murderer. But of course, there would be people who supported him too. I'm not sure if I'M getting MY point across because it's hard to put into words. But Tenma doesn't feel like a written character, acting on a plot. He feels like a human being, acting on unexpected scenarios and a drive to do what he believes is right. Tenma doesn't act as if he's some "righteous hero" who's saving the world. He's a man that feels guilty, and feels that he _needs_ to kill Johan to stop him from harming any further. Tenma doesn't care if the police are on his side, and he doesn't want to be in the public eye. He's not doing it to be seen by society. Tenma's motives are independent of the world around him, just like many of ours are in the real world. Again, I'm not sure if what I said really makes any sense, but I think that Urasawa's writing is beautifully constructed, and every character (generally) feels like a person you could find in the real world.
Johann continues: Kids, do you know what a human's most ultimate fear is? Let me show you Next day on news: *multiple kids went missing with no traces. Police have found no clue about the culprit and are planning to give up.* *THE END*
First of all, those who have watched Monster never say that. And, Light Yagami isn't even a psychopath and evil. You can say, he's a sociopath and bad. He's more of an anti-hero than a villain.
I know the views are less....but beleive me this generational people Neva appreciate pure art.... they will either go behind of an overhyped anime then a pure art...one day those all will tap on this and they will regret why did we didn't gave it the deserved credits
( cannont hear ) me fait vraiment vivre des émotions profonde de tristesse et nostalgie en même temps. Je ressens quelque chose d'unique dans cette mélodie.
idk if its just me, i came from watching omori gameplays but the violin sounds from "Part" and "OMORI" the boss theme, both exude a very sad emotion within me.
I've always watched anime in a casual manner when I was a little boy, mostly animes with fight scenes such as Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball. Then, as an adult, my girlfriend introduced me to genres I didn't even know they existed. First time she made me watch an anime, she did it with Monster. Such a master piece in such a particular and unique way. I haven't been able to find an anime that comes even close to Monster. Any recommendations?
At last, he had found a name, but there was no longer anyone to call him by it. Such a shame. Because Johan was such a wonderful name. What do you see when you look into my eyes? I was born in a town. That was straight out of a fairytale. Many people die there. And when I walked away, I held hand with my other self to me. It seemed like we were the only two people in the world. Neither one of us possessed a real name.
Eu amo monster. Falo isso porque o anime mostra a importâncias de aproveitarmos a vida com prazeres, como fazer um piquenique, conversar com familiares e aquela frase: é fácil matar, só precisa esquecer do sabor de açúcar no café. E como é necessário a identidade de uma pessoa, porque se ela não o tem será qualquer coisa que disserem quem esse humano é.
The "cannot hear" part has some different variations in the show. Especially near the end. Does anyone know if those are around somewhere? This is like an even more relaxing version, but the other one has a bit more oomph to it and makes it a bit sadder sounding. I can find a timestamp on an episode if needed
