| fuck this episode pissed me off so much It was pretty much a forgone conclusion that he would chicken out, but it didn't stop me from screaming at the screen "SQUEEZE IT YOU PUSSY FUCK " LOL creepy children's book. Now the ED makes sense. |
| That book was creepy |

| "At last he had found a name, but there was no longer anyone to call him by it. Such a shame, because Johan, was such a wonderful name." :( |
| That is such a screwed up book. What the crap. And it's supposed to be for children?! e.e ... I can see the direction comparisons to Johan being the monster, but I think he's actually the prince. If there was any purpose to the biblical quote at the beginning of the series, the monster is a demon of some sort, or at least a drive to kill (murderous intent). Johan is being thrilled and taking pleasure in dark and negative emotions such as fear, bloodlust, and a twisted "curiosity" (toying with people's lives). I think he's trying to find someone like himself, or at least "pass on the monster". I figured someone would stop Tenma, but I wasn't expecting Roberto. Including his "wife" was a nice touch as well. "Good" episode. The atmosphere and tension is top notch. |
| Watching Monster is challenging. I mean, it's brilliantly written, but I still like stories better when the MC threw away his humanity to achieve what would have been the best for everyone. Tenma, just how many more people are you ready to sacrifice and how much more do you want to be tormented before you are ready... He's too noble I find. |
| Of course Tenma didn't shoot Johan. Typical. But the fire in the end is quite unexpected so it's cool. Overall, I love this episode. The suspense is something to die for. It almost feels like watching Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. Amazing stuff, this. |
hznu said: Hahaha awesome book. Lotte is a HUGE cunt. The fire scene was awesome. Everything was great. I'm glad I don't watch previews. I hope Tenma shoots him and this is the turning point for him... BTW wtf is up with the ending theme? It sucks. A lot. Really great episode! I 10000000% agree with you on the ending song. I thought the first one was bad but this second ending is horrible. |
| That story was awesome |
 |
| HOLY FUCK! THE SHIT HITS THE FAN! That was a children's story? Jesus Christ that was dark... Lotte is SO annoying! Once again Tenma's being a cunt and is too scared to shoot Johan. *sigh* I hope that man grows a pair of balls some time in the next century. I hope Tenma shot that bastard Roberto. He deserves it. Epic episode. Hope we get more of these god-tier episodes like this. 10/10 |
| Excellent episode with epic scenes. This anime is continuing to surprize me. What a plan... Like a child is playing the swarm of ants. Controlling the fear, and enjoying it. God damn Johann is pretty good this job. |
| Is that a book someone wrote for children? Really? I still wonder what exactly in it that made it so touching for Johan, I mean it is the story of his life but he knows that right? Also, I am more and more curious about the origin of the twins, who are their parents? how were they raised in the first time? |
| My Anime List | |
| Summary: Nina reads story. Flashbacks. Tenma doesn't pull the trigger (obviously), but spends a lot of time aiming it a Johan's head. Roberto interrupts him. Lady starts a fire. Johan creepily narrates this to the Vampire of bayern. Damnit Monster, everytime I watch this show I have to watch like 6 episodes in a row to find out what happens. |
| Damn, I can't believe that I'm halfway done with this show. It feels like just yesterday that I started to watch this. 5/5 |
 |
| Probably the best episode so far. Really intersting the book story, the two monster probably are a reference about Johan and Nina. Johan's seems to just enjoy people's fear and to have a perfect plan. The build up to this moment was perfect and unlike a lot of people i loved Tenma's indecision when he was about to shoot, very realistic but if he did shoot Roberto then it's a turning point. I'm wondering about what's Lunge doing now but at the end of the arc i expect to have a new confrotation between him and tenma! |
| Little story was cool but it doesn't really sound like something for kids... Damn shit went down! Yohan FTW |
 |
| shits goin down, dat cliffhanger doe |
| Can't believe I accurately predicted that the picture book was related to the ED :D That story was disturbing, by the way. Not something I would present my young children with, at the least. |

| The storybook was brilliant. No way Tenma was going to shoot with 33 eps left, thought Nina would play some part in this ep, i'm now curious as to what happens between Schuwald and Johan now that he knows what he is, but judging from things they might just carry on as things were. I'm still struggling to figure out why Johan would want to kill Schuwald, he's pretty much giving him an avenue to many things in life. |

| Halfway there and it's been pretty bad so far. How disappointing. |
 |
| I loved this episode! And the book was very enlightenung.. and disturbing XD Well, after all the original Grimm's fairy tales were quite gruesome too.. |
 |
| That picture book was interesting, the story was great, a nameless monster crawling inside of humans to take their names but eating them from the inside when it's hungry. In the end he is the only one remaining. The library is on fire, Johan did all of this to make Schubert feel fear? If that is true, he's awesome. |
 |
| i really enjoyed the picture book. if i read that as a child i wouldn't be able to sleep at night. it was very eerie and fit Johan perfectly. i wonder if the split monster represented Anna and Johan or Johan's 2 personalities. |

| This story is dark lol, I think it explains the origins of Johan and Anna, but i dont understand what is the point of the monster who wants a name. Though full of intense moments this episode is one if not the best episode in Monster. Excellent Episode. |
| my fav episode of the show so far, its getting so good. and the picture book accurately represents the twins. cant wait to watch more |
| Tenma was annoying af with all that hesitation |
| Shit that book twisted Johan brian well now we now that the monster in the ending is from that book it was a really interesting episode I thought Schuwald was a goner |
| Ah, the picture book is finally in play. Well, the concept was introduced a few episodes. But, anyway, this is one of my favorite concepts of the series. |

| Lotte such an annoying bitch ffs why do you care about Nina's past, its fucking personal |
 |
| Considering how good were the movies from Grimm brothers tales, I would like to see an Disney adaptation of that book. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| What kind of picture book is that…? About Tenma even if he didn’t shoot Johan I understand it but why didn’t he shoot Roberto in the freaking leg or a non-vital spot (it is one thing to kill a person but it is another thing to disable a threat)...? Is mindboggling to me just freaking shoot! |

| That's totally not your normal picture book Noto Mamiko is narrating, am I dreaming right now? xD If Roberto died there So many people are not going to die Good job Tenma? ... I hope Roberto died |
"Signature removed"   |
| this roberto guys fucking annoying.... but hes actually a good villain ngl the action was intense on this one 5/5 |
 |
| Holy, that was tense. Really tense. |

| The picture book Obluda: a long time ago - pre-Disney - fairy tales were generally dark stories without happy endings. Admonitions to children rather than feel good entertainment. It's only recent that everything has been sanitized for the kiddos. One reason they're all spoiled, entitled brats :P Great episode. Of course Tenma didn't kill Johan as there's still half the series left. |
| THat children's book sounds pretty much like your average ger,any bed time story xd |
| Good episode. Took me 2.5 months to complete half of the series. Johan was brilliant, making Robert take care of Tenma and putting the fire. He wants Schubert to feel the pain. I hope Lotte dies. She is my most hated character in Monster after Eva and Dieter. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I knew that we would get the story of the picture book told at some point. And seriously, I said that this episode would be fire, but I didn't mean it literally xD |
