I read the manga and loved what I saw, but I never finished it. Naoki Urasawa's stuff often drag on longer than they should, I read like 2/3rd of the whole thing. I've always wanted to pick it back up but the story is so dense that I probably have to start over, and I don't have time for that.
But if you loved Monster, you're going to really like Pluto, which is a different anime by the same author that released in 2023.
I felt that way about 20th Century Boy too. Dragged on for no good reason, lackluster climax
Maaaan, I'm totally with you. I heard about how 20th Century Boys was so well-loved and when I read it I just kept losing interest as it went on. Everything about the way the story plays out felt super convenient and not very believable. In the end I just found it kinda... Goofy. His worst work IMO.
My husband and I did a watch through of Pluto recently, I went into it not knowing anything about Astroboy and it didn’t affect my enjoyment of it. We’re looking for something else to watch, so I think Monster will go on the list!
