Do you remember what episode of Hyouge Mono is this gif from?

Answer whenever you want to.

I agree with this. There are rare cases where some people survived shots into the forehead, you could just google them. This is one of the most extreme and interesting cases where he survives after an iron bar goes though his head and then it lands 10m away. There's also to consider she was a kid and was trembling in fear and confusion so the bullet didn't arrive perpendicular to his skull which can contribute to his survival since especially a round object is more resistant if hit diagonally.

However I don't care to discuss this point, I am not a doctor. I think that every show has the benefit of a 1 impossible or improbable event without being questioned, especially if that's the trigger of the story. Good stories rarely are made by mundane events and usually have this 1 event that breaks that mundanity and I think the point is focusing in what happens next and not necessarily on the event itself if the show does't dig in deep that particular event. Monster is not a a show about medicine or neurosurgery. Even if Tenma is a doctor Urasawa doesn't go deep in the medical topics so I find kind of superficial to focus so much on it as to say that the show made no sense since even if very unlikely it is not an impossible and asspulled event.

The setting the town on fire might have been a bit forced but I still don't get the relation of what you are saying with the impossibility of setting the town on fire. I have seen it like 5 years ago and that part wasn't that memorable.

If you focus on the pure realism of the story might as well point at the final flash back. The thing is that for psychologically shows I don't pay that much attention to realism as the concepts intrigue me more.

Oh, I am pretty sure Perfect Blue is a better thriller from what I've heard from many people. The thing is that I haven't seen it yet and the post was asking for the ones that we've seen. I am probably going to watch it the next time I go on travel as I found it being a good occasion to watch films since normal series are too long.

I thought you were another of the people complaining about the finale but I do see your complains even though they are not relevant for me.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Perfect Blue. And I agree with the fact that is more "thrilling" than Monster.
Nonetheless, I don't know what you're referring to with "things that shouldn't have been included", but I still prefer Monster between the two, precisely because of the vivid glimpses of humanity that it often shows, although they don't really have too much to do with the plot. But if you're talking about how the main story is less effective towards the end, than I 100% agree with you.

Hi, I've read your comment in the thread about thriller and I was curious what about Monster made no sense?

It's an anime similar to nodame. Romance, and music genre.

Yo, a nodame fan. Have you watched la corda d'oro?

Mutta is my 3rd favorite anime character, he is the most likeable character I have come across so far.

I'm only 30 chapter into Takemitsu Zamurai, but it's amazing already. The artstyle and characters are great, I love Souichirou's childish nature and Shinnosuke's murderous aura (plus his rat pet is awesome). I'm eager to check out Matsumoto's other works after finishing it.

You are the first person I have seen who has both Hyouge Mono and Takemitsu Zamurai in his favorites.

Yeah lol the faces are magnificent! :D
The clothing is also vert fitting and put the extra stylized feel to the atmosphere. LOVE IT!

I am not done yet, but this has been one of the greatest shows I've watched. Fantastic timepiece depicting the era in an intriguing manner with some serious dramedy, beautiful characterization, philosophy and the aesthetic theme. And some of those facial expressions! xD The thematic highlight of Wabi Sabi is truly inspiring and enlightening.

Hyouge Mono appreciation

The way you put your arguments (last Re:Zero episode) on frontline is very appealing to me. Kee p it up.
