They'd also be great served on brown rice. 
About time Viz announced SOMETHING with Monster. Due to its length, they'd better do season box sets like they did with Buso Renkin, because I'm not looking to pay $25-30 for single discs that take up an assload of shelf space. @ nx6: 1995 called. They want their whining against anime edits back. The show's already set in GERMANY to begin with--how much more Western can you get? |

Me too, but then you probabally already know that. 
I'm also hoping to get this in season sets, and that's probabally the only way this thing is marketable since it's so freaking addictive you'd need to watch it in chunks of episodes. Anyway, this is great news. but I want to know now not "soon", I've been patient enough for years now.

Seriously. Death Note, Bleach, Naruto (DVDs), etc. were all unedited. Why would this be any different? Not to mention Viz doesn't do the dubbing themselves anyway...... |

How honest do you think that is? I mean at this point between Sony's sort of release of Blood + and Viz's "we'll get to it sometime," and Media Blasters eventually getting around to releasing Seirei no Moribito it doesn't exactely fill me with optimism about any company that isn't Bandai or Funi right now. Granted, I'd love for them to prove me wrong. |

Sometimes changing the Japanese script is a good thing. I don't think the Yu Yu Hakusho dub would have been well like if Funi stuck with the Japanese script even ADV's Ghost Stories was turned into comedy gold with a script change. |

Source?
Indeed there's a quite few people on these boards who like myself are rejoicing in hearing that Monster may finally be coming to the US shores......and we've waited far too long and speculated for way too long and now it's real. |

You sure he doesn't mean sticking to a literal translation? If they did use a very literal translation for both the sub and the dub, that would suck--overly literal translations result in loss of stylistic flavor. (i.e., if the moonspeak says "konna toki ni", some people might think it just HAS to be translated as "even at a time like this", which sounds completely ridiculous in English.) |

I'm also very glad to see Monster coming from Viz. This is the kind of series that really lifts anime up.
I've tried several times to get my frined to read Monster, to no avail. I hope sticking DVDs in his face will make him wake up to how good anime really can be, beyond the usual anime stuff we get. Like the Nana thing though, I think I'll have to hold onto my fansubs of Monster, til their is something I can buy. |

IIRC, there was like a whole thread devoted to it in the "Anime" section of ANN, check it out. |

If they do release Monster, in box sets, I would expect it to be in 5 sets and not 3. Monster being 74 episodes: 15 episodes a box set would be 5 sets.

Uh.... Monster's set in the west - in Germany and Czechoslovakia. If they decide to translate any Japanese honorifics into Western titles, I'd actually be happy.
Well, I'm glad I don't watch dubs then... ... but seriously, Viz would be stupid not to release this in box sets. It's a long series, and unlike Naruto, Bleach, etc. it's not likely to have a TV run or much merchandise, so they'll need to use strategies to encourage people to buy it. 6 or so box sets of 12-13 episodes might be the best way to go, since there won't be that many people able to spend $400 on this.[/quote] Last edited by vashfanatic on Mon Feb 09, 2009 1:24 pm; edited 2 times in total |

If they've seen the way the economy is blowing, they'll realize that making anime cheaper is likely the best way to get people to buy it... |

Yeah, and not long ago you'd think Geneon would have said the same thing rather than releasing massively overpriced DVDs to the point that buying discs solo would almost be cheaper depending on where one looked.
