If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

So has anyone seen "Naoki Urasawa's Monster"? I was recommended this series online because I enjoy mindgames and really smart protagonists who just outclass everyone all the time (Akagi, One Outs).

Is this series good for that purpose or not? Also, is it good in general? I can see such a series starting out strong and devolving into magic bullshit towards the end (which is one of my biggest worries).

Monster is amazing, one of the best animes I have watched so far. The pacing is quite slow at times, especially in the beginning but the concept, characters and writing is great. It's quite dark and touches a lot of touchy subjects in great detail.

On your other question: it depends. I would say there is a character that generally outclasses everyone but he acts more in the backround most of the time. Generally it's not really like that but there are mindgames involved. You should watch it regardless. It's a show nobody should miss.

Well, it starts of being about a murderer I guess but it's much more than that and the discovery of the themes are a big part of the show so I won't spoiler any of them. It's not supernatural but quite realistic although not entirely...it's still fiction in the end.

guys yo WTF no one is as excited as me for the upcoming Anime Of The Century (in comedy department) Prison school??!

@Monster is a psychological thriller, not many show is in the genre really, so examples are limited it is hard to describe what exactly it is
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'

Its a suspense murder mystery thriller.

Its also not an "all according to keikaku I'm so smurt" anime like Code Geass or Death Note or something, since its actually well written.

This has nothing to do with mindgames like Akagi or One Outs. Watch Kaiji.

It is a lot slower paced and the appreciation of the show is in the story, the characters and the discovery. Its a completely different vibe to what you might think.
