Monster
Anyone saw this series already? - I saw it, it may look original but sad to say the plot line was copied from this 1978 movie "Boys From Brazil".

Re: Monster
I have seen the series years ago. The first boxset came out this past December and it's currently airing on Syfy (Ani-Monday).
I have not seen "Boys From Brazil." I checked IMDB, it's not exactly what that summary is describing. It's rather difficult to describe the series in short [in comparison to that particular movie], but I will see what I can do.
Read below at your own risk...
This is a really well-crafted long anime series (74 episodes). It's may be long for some. However for someone who likes psychological/horro/suspense thriller anime, there won't too many series that will top this.
And the DVD Talk review of the first boxset can be found here.

Re: Monster
In comparison.. Monster is a 70+ episode with detailed story depth comapre to a 2hr film but basically they the idea of nazi kids was derived from Boys from Brazil.
Most will think its an original concept but me, seeing Boys In brazil first and saw this series as the later.. I can see how the writer secretly pulled some idea from the movie.

Re: Monster
Speaking of Monster, I've been holding off on getting Box Set 1 waiting for Box Set 2 to get announced but I haven't seen a date for it anywhere. Is there one? The release schedule for this is kinda ridiculous, especially considering the first set only had 15 episodes.
So it's gonna take 5 box sets to release this? Geezus.
