Monster

When the first episode indicates that we will not have anything to do with magic, high school, vampires, robots or demons this time, I didn't know what to expect. No situational humor or sci-fi or fantasy genre? And a run on such a long track? However, Doctor Tenma soon proved me wrong. While it doesn't rely on fast pace or a plot full of twists, during the first episodes, I fell in love with most of the characters, breathed with suspense for the main hero, and had reverential horror for Johan. And when new mysteries start to emerge, old ones get answers and completely unexpected new chapters are intertwined (an episode like a children's book, a multi-part excursion to Prague), there was no doubt. This mysterious drama with a subtext of philosophy, war, science, or just pure human emotions, is an experience for a lifetime. And I will never forget Kenzo Tenma, Nina, Johan, Lunge, Dieter, Eva, or Wolfgang Grimmer. Thanks to all of you for this fascinating journey. (11.07.2010)

I'd be grateful for any names, if only I could get some... But I can only guess. /// The thing that bothered me the most was that I just didn't know some of the secondary ("sub-secondary") characters from each other, so I didn't know if they were already in the story and therefore their arrival on the scene meant something more. But that's okay. Shame about the unmoving opening and ending themes, I wanted a new song, didn't get one. But otherwise: really, really liked it. Atmosphere. Locations. Characters. Prague. Czech. Three Frogs. Czech names. I had to laugh there. But I'm so glad my two favorite characters survived – one started writing emails, the other stopped sleeping. (20.08.2009)
