| Are you sure Urasawa did the original character designs? ANN says nothing about him at all... I'm a big Urasawa fan... guess I might have to check this out if it is so. |

| Japanese > Chinese Just putting it out there so other people don't have to. :p |

Don't fully trust ANN. As a native Japanese, I don't think their Japanese skill is very good. Anime!Anime! said: なかでも注目されたのは、キャラクター原案に大物マンガ家浦沢直樹さんが参加することである。 It drew attention that "Big name" mangaka Urasawa Naoki is in charge of the original character design. |
| cool sounds great i read the novel a while back i think x.X sounds familiar so probably have lol |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| Fuck yea? |
| Hell yeah, the fact that the director of Monster is involved, AND that the character designs will be similar to Monster, is encouraging enough for me. |
| It sounds interesting... <.< thought the poster doesnt help much |
 |
| Oh wow, super small image of poster. >_< Sounds incredibly promising, though. :D |

O gods, the overratedness of Monster is really frustrating. Urasawa wrote a lot of other, better than Monster, titles. 20th Century Boys immediately comes to my mind, even though some people might disagree with me. I will definitely watch this. Is the novel translated to English? If so, I might read that one first. |
| ganbatte Urasawa. at least we may expect Chinese that will actually look like Chinese. but I'm not sure that a serial director is the best choice for the movie. but they should be a great team with Urasawa after two joint projects. |

| Cool news, I will probably watch this. Hopefully the dog doesn't die at the end, I absolutely hate movies like this. :roll: Fai said: O gods, the overratedness of Monster is really frustrating. Urasawa wrote a lot of other, better than Monster, titles. The fact that one of the best mangaka ever created other excellent series does not make one of them overrated, does it? I mean, they are all equally great, Monster is simply the most known (thanks to anime/manga being released in US in entirety) and backlash is pretty much unevitable but seeing anyone call it 'overrated' still boggles my mind. ;p |

If it weren't for Monster, I wouldn't have been introduced to his many other amazing works. It's hardly overrated since most people still don't know what it is. Hell, I don't know anyone else who has read it all and tons of my friends read manga =_= |

I think you mean to say that Monster is overesteemed by the small fandom that has heard of it - Monster is by far underrated, and is only beginning to gain prominence because of the American broadcast. Either way, I disagree with you; 20th Century Boys might be a better work, but I think Monster deals with more important concepts, and while Pluto is amazing, Monster beats is as a longer, more comprehensive, and original work. Surely, you're not suggesting that Yawara and Happy are better than Monster? |
