| This could turn out pretty amazing, I think. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Just finished Monster about a week ago and it's one of my favourite anime!! Amazing plot, amazing characters :) I'm certainly going to give the adaption a try. |
*BREATHES* OH GOD YES PLZ  |
| I'm seriously interesting in people's problems with HBO right now. I mean, they actually pulled of a reasonable decentl ASOIAF adaption. Needless to say, HBO + Monster is a very interesting combination. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| In return, they should make an American show into a mango... Like Breaking Bad. |
| Hmm, Guillermo Del Toro is a great in his own ways.. Hope this will turn out good :P |
 |
| This could be really good, Monster is one of the few anime series that can fit a TV show in my opinion. |

So I hope it doesn't. *Starting from the fact that Americans are too racist to have an Asian as the main character. And they would make Eva have about a hundred times more sex. |

| This is gonna be so epic!! |
You Can't Take the Sky from Me |
| I'm not even a huge Monster fan and I'm really excited! I'll definitely be watching this, and regardless of the gratuitous amounts of sex and violence that HBO shows tend to have, it's highly likely it will be very well written. HBO have some of the best writers in the business so I'm very much looking forward to this. I should probably finish those few episodes of Monster I've been putting off for months... |
| That might actually work. |
 |
| Wow I should hurry up and finish the show then. This sounds exciting, I feel like it's better fitted to a live action series anyway. |
| Better don't spoil it........ zzzzzzz |
 |
| HBO... will watch. I nominate Daniel Day Lewis to play Johan. |

If this pulls through, we're in for a real nail biter here! Yeah, but Kratos, I'm just worried about this... BigSimo said: if they americanize it (ie. set it in america, have all the characters be american etc.) then the whole thing will be worthless. i'd like for them to cast an english speaking japanese man as tenma, and have the whole thing set in germany. but this won't happen. it sounds good on paper, but when you think about it, it won't come close to the source material. Inb4 Kenzo Tenma -> John Smith Oh wow, yeah, that could be kinda off. But seeing how the show actually takes place around Europe, I'm not that worried, but if they are to change it to American setting, I will be a bit disappointed. BKA Lunge -> FBI Agent Pierce |

| mhmmmmmmm sounds good |
 |
| Lol Xinil had to come out the basement to report about this Anyway hope it actually happens + if it does I hope it's awesome |
| This sounds just wonderful! Everything about it sounds like it could be an amazing adaption. I will look forward to this, immensely so, and I might be smiling for the rest of the day. |
| I hope you have a lovely day ♥ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ ) |
| Ho-ho-hoooooly shit, this is awesome news. If they pull it off and cast the right guys (the casting of Johan is so very key to this series working), it'll be a smash hit. |
 |
| Fucking great news! |
 |
| Sounds promising, and I'm usually not in favor of Western adaptations of anime or manga. |
| I don't doubt Guillermo Del Toro & HBO can put up a quite good show,however the great storyline is here and the second big test will be the cast they'll choose. |
| ... |
| Seems this notice is the notice of the day. If this come true I watch it. I'm courious about this. |
| Good news. Definitely has potential to be a great show if they do it right. |
| this news could finally give me the motivation to watch the anime |
 |
| I'm worry, anime adaptations usually are very horrible... |
 |
| Guillermo Del Toro... I've heard too many projects from this guy being cancelled to believe this will happen. |
| Hmm, quite interesting ;) |
 |
| ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH GODDAMNIT WHY CAN"T I PUT IT ON MY PLAN-TO-WATCH ON MAL. |
 |
| Nice, HBO would probably do a good job on this and I will watch the live action show before the anime. |

AOMlNE said: Knil said: dankickyou said: Monster can easily work as live action but since its HBO expect copious amounts of sex scenes. D: Also, who is sexy enough to make a good Johan? Neil Patrick Harris anyone? :D Yes please. No. He's too old to play Johan. Johan is what 22-23 at the oldest. Neil Patrick Harris is nearly 40. Johan needs to be young, charming and slightly effeminate for reasons that are important to the plot of the series. Wonder how they will pull off Johan and Nina being twins? |
| Can't wait to see Eva getting fucked left and right. More seriously, with this, I hope people will see that chinese cartoon aren't just for kids. |

Nobody thought that HBO could pull off a successful adaptation of ASOIF, and they managed to do it. There's also the fact that the ASOIF series is much harder to adapt than something like Monster. mrsticky005 said: No. He's too old to play Johan. Johan is what 22-23 at the oldest.

NPH is in his 40's, but as he long as he doesn't look it, it'll be fine. He looks like he might actually be in his 20's. GoT's Araya Stark is played by a 16 year old girl. Arya is only 10 or 11 right now in the series, but you would never know that unless you looked it up. The actress just doesn't look her age. |

| I was actually thinking Zachary Quinto would be great as Johann. He was the most enjoyable part of AHS, and in both seasons he has shown qualities to that of Johann's. |
| |
| Del Torro is a hack and tbh a bit of a bitch. Once he rage quits (as is his MO), I expect HBO will get someone competent and actually talented to do it. Should be good. |
| If it's done by the screenwriter of Sherlock I'm actually quite curious to how it will turn out. I loved Sherlock, and Monster is great, the combination should make it into an enjoyable tv series, I think. |

Damian Lewis would be awesome as Tenma. Could even get Michael C. Hall since Dexter's last season comes out this year, and it doesn't seem like he has anything planned. |
