| I thought this title suffices as good as short, so I assume you know what I’m talking about. Or maybe it’s time to test youngsters’ knowledge on other/some Western cultures if they like certain genre of manga/anime. Monster & Hannibal Lecter While Monster mostly I assume (if not always) receives praise by anime watchers. Getting at best as it could high rates and to be recommended by anime……… “elites”? Can we say?… I dunno. Anyway, it came to me as an instant passing thought. Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Johan Liebert seem (very likely) to share a lot in character, personality, etc. The 2nd book of Hannibal Lecter: Silence of the Lambs (1988), got a movie adaptation in 1991. Three years later, the manga, Monster (1994), in 2004, the anime adaptation. It goes without saying that manga, anime and Japanese video games take inspiration from Western/European cultures mostly. Perhaps Thomas Harris books and movies played a big part in the creation of the manga/anime, Monster. That is something only Naoki Urasawa can answer if it is or not. Questions: 1. In your opinion, do Monster and Hannibal Lecter share in common? 2. If yes, would you recommend Hannibal movies to someone never saw? |

| 1. I only know the Mads Mikkelsen version of Hannibal. I guess they are indeed similar in some ways. 2. N/A |
| The Silence of Lambs movie is amazing regardless of any parallels with anime, that's all I can say. Monster feels much longer than it should be. The book is nothing special really, didn't impress me at all. |

| @LoveYourSmile I, uh, I'm working on it. It's been on my watchlist for years. I watched the series first because I love Mads Mikkelsen. |

| @Rhae I dropped the series honestly. The movie feels much more **tasteful**. |
