12:27 pm [grazzt] [Link]	Monster: "You can see it..." Since it seems like a few people are making "last" posts to commemorate the move, I figured I might as well join in. And since it's my last post at InsaneJournal, why not take the material from the final volume of Monster? Of course, in a series as full of twists and turns as this one is, you could argue that most scans would be a)inexplicable to people who haven't been following along and are not in possession of some sort of flowchart and/or b) massive spoilers for the entire series. But I don't think this scene is either. ( Only four scans. ) Tags: char: johan liebert, char: kenzo tenma, creator: naoki urasawa, title: monster (8 comments \| Leave a comment)

03:09 pm [grazzt] [Link]	Herr Doktor Tenma (Part 1 of 3): Best Intentions Hey, I figured that since it's horror week, a bit more of Naoki Urasawa's Monster is appropriate. Up until now, I don't think I've actually gotten into what the series is about. I've showcased a couple of characters, and I think that the themes behind the series has also been gleaned, but nothing much in terms of the overarching plot. To rectify this, how about a summary of volume 1? Let's go back in time to 1986 and witness the horrifying events at the Eisler Memorial Hospital in Dusseldorf. ( 'Who is like unto the Beast? Who is able to make war with him?' Twelve scans and spoilers under the cut. ) Tags: char: eva heinemann, char: kenzo tenma, creator: naoki urasawa, medium: manga, title: monster (10 comments \| Leave a comment)

03:24 pm [grazzt] [Link]	A perfect moment: Inspector Runge Okay, so you have an wrongfully accused man chasing a guilty one. You need a cop to chase the innocent one, too, right? Monster provides us with a rather creepy one named Runge (Lunge in some translations and the anime). Runge has two defining characteristics. The first, is that he has an odd mnemonic device to store information. Basically, he types the information on the air, and it's stored in the computer in his head. Then simply make the appropriate gestures, and the information is retrieved. This is both very creepy and oddly cool, and the almost robotic nature of those gestures highlights his second defining characteristic: he is one of the most single-minded people in all of fiction. This is the trait we'll be examining in our perfect moment. ( Five and a half scans and spoilers for Monster volumes 5 and 6, under the cut. ) Tags: char: heinrich runge, char: kenzo tenma, creator: naoki urasawa, medium: manga, series: one perfect moment week, title: monster (6 comments \| Leave a comment)
