Spotlight Character: Wolfgang Grimmer (Monster)



MAL Character Information Page: Wolfgang Grimmer


MAL Favorites: 124

For the next week I would like to have everyone familiar with Wolfgang Grimmer discuss what they think makes him an exceptional character. What attributes make him stand out in the ocean of interesting characters that exist in the realms of anime and manga.

Unlike the other two subjects I will not force this conversation to fall into any set structure. Characters that are nominated typically get here because they are adept at breaking the existing character molds and defying definition.

Because of this freedom I encourage everyone to do their very best to stay on topic and keep any and all debate civil. Have fun and I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say about this character.

*Due to voting rule changes, this character is permanently inducted from its first poll data.

RESULTS OF THE 'YOU DECIDE' POLL:

Wolfgang Grimmer was inducted into the club Character list:
43 Yes - 82.7%
9 No - 17.3%

58 Don't Know - 52.7% of the total number polled

On 10/23/2009 Wolfgang Grimmer will be voted on for a second and final time

Pretty charismatic and original character with an interesting background and likeable/scary personality/ies. Would've been my favourite character in Monster if Runge didn't exist. No-brainer yes vote from me anyway...

I don't know.

I agree with Tenchio: a very interesting character, with a very original background and attitude towards life... However I was expecting a bit more from him. For example, I was expecting him to
and that disappointed me greatly. I also think that his attitude towards his past, the necessity of controlling the monster inside him (lol), could have been hit thoroughly. I did not find him essential for the development of the story.

One of the most touching characters ever in my opinion. For me epitomizes what Monster is all about. Johann was a rather silly character, and his only role in the series really was to act as an antagonist for Tenma who is searching for his own monster to be able to kill Johann. Grimmer has instead been formed into a "monster" against his own will and tries to be free of it, to live a life he never got the chance to experience. To say that his role in Monster is small is underestimating, practically all major characters got huge room in Monster, which is exactly why I like the series so much.

Definitely a yes. Most characters in Monster would be a yes for me, and this is probably my favorite from the series so it's wasn't a hard decision.

He's a main character from Monster so that should be enough for a yes.

Even most of the supporting characters from Monster are very well developed and interesting let alone the main characters. Grimmer is no exception. His character is interesting, understandable and deep enough to feel as real as great characters like Tenma and Runge although he would lose to Tenma and Runge in terms of depth of character in my opinion, he's still a very strong character and definitely a very likable one . My vote is a YES without a doubt.
