“The Real Monster”<\/p>\n
So, who is the real monster? This was the epilogue I hoped for, but what a leading ending!<\/p>\n
Spoilers abound in Monster<\/I> town<\/b>

\nAn epilogue episode. Everyone in the show is set in their place, even people who were important only very briefly. We learn the true reason behind monstrosity. All is right with the world … or not quite.<\/p>\n
So I shouldn’t give away the whole thing; I won’t. Ultimately almost everyone still living has had some sort of positive ending. Highlights included Lunge honouring the dead and forging a relationship with his daughter (he appears to accept that his wife has moved on), and Nina returning to her normal life, as the orphaned daughter of the Fortners. As that was the most comfortable part of her life, it’s natural that she would return to it. Before Tenma came in, she wasn’t even aware of just how messed up her history was.<\/p>\n
I suppose that what I liked most about this episode is that it revealed that the characters of Monster<\/I> have formed a network of friends for life. This is one of the few positive aspects of the legacy of Johan. The sheer volume of characters was more than adequately examined over the course of this episode, and for that reason I’ve not restrained myself with images this time around.<\/p>\n
Nothing really prepared me for the ultimate memory; the final meeting of the minds. What does it mean in the final seconds? Monster<\/I> was a huge undertaking, a journey across decades and, it seems, three years in the pursuit of a grown Johan.
\nMonster<\/I> easily produced some of my favourite anime moments, and I will forever hold it dearly. Such taut thrills and intricate mysteries don’t come along too often, so for this opportunity I am grateful.<\/p>\n
Maybe I’ll go more intense later. Monster<\/I> is worth the devotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
