I was really surprised to see David Sylvian's name and hear his voice in the ED when I was watching Monster for the first time. Can't say I know a lot about him and his music but he's a pretty big and influential Western musician, especially in 70-80's. I heard a few albums from his 70-80's band called 'Japan', pretty great art-pop. In the lain of David Bowie and Roxie Music. And apparently he wrote this song for 'Monster' specifically.

Loved your discussion as always. Side note: I’ve never heard that version of the ED before. When I watched the show on Netflix, it used a version without the vocals

Heildelberg Castle, and the city itself, definitely a place worth visiting! I've been there (to the castle) with my wife a few years ago.

Same. I really wonder why I haven't watched this already. This is the perfect show for me!

Super hooked, I can't even believe that there are ~70 more episodes to get to! Really drawn to everything about it - the setting, the characters up to this point, the music, the sound design, the drawings, the general mood and grounded style... I can't believe I put this show off every time my friends recommended it to me

On my list of places to visit when I eventually visit Germany 🙌🏼

Heidelberg is like an hour away from where I live. It's been a long time since I was there, but I did see the beautiful castle 😊

Love the discussion. On point about the way the characters are drawn. Not everyone is "attractive" and have their flaws. The OSTs are the exact reason why I ask people to check out the anime for monster. The gripping nature of the plot coupled with the gripping OSTs feels surreal.

That’s the beauty of Urasawa’s writing. Nearly every side characters deserves their own manga. When I think of some of my favourite cast of characters Monster is most definitely on that list. I love whenever you point out anything to do with the sound design. While I do really love the soundtrack, and general production I think Monster’s strongest draw for me as an anime is its sound design. It’s absolutely essential to watch this at least once with headphones. It’s soo damn good! It’s soo exciting to be a Patreon of yours with soo much amazing content and you’re even starting HxH tomorrow too!
