Kuniaki Haishima - Than One ( Monster OST 2)

[@TheZalor]

Monster is also about how no one can be a complete monster. Even Johan was human; the ending of the series made a point about how all he wanted was forgiveness. Bonaparta also was very human as well. He ran away from his terrible actions and tried to find redemption in that small town. He was very kind to the kid that got bullied (Vim), and tried to live peacefully. "Monster" can be interpreted as an ironic title since every character (or monster) was ultimately human.

[@semanticac.9320]

great comment! from a very interesting perspective.

[@extras5164]

How do we know johan wanted forgiveness? I’m trying to figure that out

[@chamwow168]

Watch the video titled "Monster Ending Explained." Johan's plan was for Tenma to kill him after everyone in the village dies. Forgiving Johan for his actions is the way to ruin that plan. I don't believe he wanted forgiveness, but it's up for debate

[@extras5164]

@@chamwow168 I’ve actually saved that video to my watch later a while ago and I finished the series a week or two ago and so I’ve been very looking forward to that vid actually but haven’t had the chance since school has been really busy, but I might have the chance tonight!!!

[@chamwow168]

Yes! I was in your exact situation a few months ago and I must say the analysis really cleared the air for me. He does an excellent job explaining Johan's character, and the various philosophies that the show's characters are built upon. Let me know what you think!

This ost strikes me with a very distinct feeling. It shows me of tenmas traveling across different cities and towns meeting different people and personalities while his own life being dragged deeper into darkness. It’s calm but very bittersweet. Also gives a special fairy tale element

[@daytimelantern6570]

It gives me a holding on to who and what he is accepting that he brung back a serial killer thus making him partly responsible in his mind but a sad long hopeful and desperate journey this man is on to stop the monster

[@asperRader]

@@abc123iamhesham I personally find the ending comprised of a pretty big ass-pull (drunken maniac rambling in rain manages to shoot johan square in the head from meters away???) that replaces a new dilemma for Tenma (shoot johan and possibly kill someone for the first time, or let him shoot wim and be compliant in his death) with a familiar one

It baffles me how some people find the likes of clannad and angel beats to be the best and their favorite. I mean i enjoyed them, but this anime was on a league of its own. It was one hell of a thrill ride. I never wanted it to end but it had to. This was a very beautiful anime!

[@DarkCyberElf]

Clannad Afterstory (just the second season) is masterful storytelling (which of course, relies on the first season's events, but still), Angel Beats! is not however. Angel Beats would have been grand if it was the same length as Clannad, but unfortunately the pacing is inevitably weak, not to mention the world isn't expanded on enough (with the OVA really a major source of confusion). I can see why Clannad is considered one of the best animes (despite the tropes, cuteness, and melodrama), but Angel Beats is overhyped, despite its many moments of greatness. Naoki Urasawa's Monster on the other hand is a true work of art, both manga and anime, and should be treated as such. It is slower and more unfocused at times than a show of similiar length like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but all of it was necessary for the narrative. It's not in my personal top 10 animes (due to the lack of an entertainment factor and length), but it's certainly a candidate for the top 10 animes ever made. One thing is certain however: Monster is the most sophisticated anime ever because it has literally zero tropes and basic character archetypes, doesn't rely on the supernatural in order to be interesting, and boasts one of the greatest villains and greatest heroes in all of anime, no matter how little attention either of them get in that regard.

[@sergejosaphat3943]

Different genres different opinions clannad is the best show in its genre this shows pretty top notch but loses to death not imho you don't understand people who are infatuated with clannad because it's not your favorite

[@FarCritical]

I actually love Clannad and Monster, but I think Angel beats is overhyped. Monster definitely deserves more praise than it gets!

[@gcody99]

DarkCyberElf (Mylon Requiem) Nice comment. I agree that Angel Beats! should not be considered one of the best animes. I also respect how you recognize Monster's greatness even if it isn't one of your personal favorites.

[@munoulilium2034]

JJJ Keel “it baffles me how people could have their own opinion” lmao

[@jmtapadas]

One of the best series I've seen. The writing is top shelf, the characters have such a poignant humanity to them, even the ones supporting the story only for one or two episodes (the guy for whom Roberto was working, the first time he appears, for example). The OST is absolutely stunning, and I, as a musician and composer, couldn't imagine a better musical frame, and this particular piece always managed to hit an emotional summit. The composer is truly versed, and the way he uses woodwinds with the strings main sound is masterful. There is such complexity, such sadness, such fragility and loneliness, it is really a masterpiece.
