Interesting, but I've already got a favourite Monster series (http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/my-pet-monster-the-complete-series.jpg).

Looks great, though I can't stand to watch it dubbed so I guess I'll be checking out the DVDs when then come out.

The only anime I like is anime that involves boats jumping off of other boats to shoot torpedoes into helicopters.

Black Lagoon was great (at least the first season was, second was alright), but Cowboy Bebop is still the best.

Did you know an OVA 3rd Season of Black Lagoon should be airing sometime this year? Should be cool...

Anyway, back on topic...

I really hope the dub is decent~ but even if it's not, it won't bother me that much since I'm still buying the DVD

Also they have show a TON of commercials during the shows on Ani-Mondays.

I'm hoping they don't cut too much out... but maybe Chiller will be able to air it uncut.

Kind of off topic... SyFy looks really stupid. Sci-Fi is way better.

Unless it has more boats jumping off of boats to shoot torpedoes into helicopters... I don't care. :rolleyes:

Monster is awesome, this is fantastic news, it definitely deserves to be seen by people in this country. That said, it is not a sci-fi story so what is the deal with it being shown on on sci-fi channel?

I think the reason they changed the name to SyFy is because they want to focus more on things other than pure Sci-Fi

To quote the president of the company...

“If you ask people their default perceptions of Sci Fi, they list space, aliens and the future,” he added. “That didn’t capture the full landscape of fantasy entertainment: the paranormal, the supernatural, action and adventure, superheroes.”

Monster kind of fits in with shows like Destination Truth and Ghost Hunters~ although the series still lacks the paranormal aspect of those shows~

Neither is the wrestling they show.

Sci-fi sure has changed.

You obviously arent young and hip enough to like. Neither am I, and thats why i hate it!

Bah what ever happened to just showing reruns of Star Trek, Sliders, and the X-Files with the occasional terrible Lorenzo Lamas movie? Young people these days *grumble grumble*.

Awesome. I am so buying this when it comes to DVD. I watched it fansubbed and it's fantastic.

[Axemyn]

Monster was utterly awesome. I remember it from years ago and now I'll likely watch it again ... but not on "SyFy" ... what a horrible rebranding. I miss the old channel lineup.

[Wolfbeckett]

Yeah I do not think I will be watching this on SyFy but I will definitely purchase the DVD's. Gotta let the anime companies know that I will pay for quality shows like this.

UPDATE: So the series premieres tonight at 11~!! I can't wait :D

I know this post is months old, but if you add <#t=00m00s> to the end of your youtube link, you can start right at that time. So, your link would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ_6jx_s670#t=02m25s

Ah, I always wondered how people did that. Good to know! ...

I love how the majority of posts people have made in this thread have been off topic :p

Anyone else at least a little interested in seeing this series? (trailer here (http://monster.viz.com/))

Apparently YouTube automatically does it if you type timestamps in the YouTube comments. This is just a way to do it in a url.

Friiiiiiig it's gonna be an expensive couple of weeks. Nana box set 2 comes out late November and then Monster box set 1 early December. Anime is a cruel mistress.

I might have to ask for this for Christmas.

I had a fansub copy and then lost it when my HDD crashed a year or so back. Such a great show. <3

This is awesome, Monster is one of my favorite series. I may have to watch this, even though I missed the first dubbed episode.
