Come on, localize Monster already! Assuming you do at least a half decent job, you'll have at least one sale for sure.

I am with ya there. I am not really into the scene anymore but I always stay on the prowl for information about Monster coming to America. It is encouraging that it's being shop around, hopefully someone will finally bring this show to America.

Che, I always see Monster in the headlines at ANN, and my heart skips a beat, but it's always a disappointment.

If Viz are shopping titles around to release in N.America, then it seems they have no intention of releasing it.

Did they shop around Naruto/Bleach/Death Note, before releasing them?

I want Viz to localize Monster, but I would love to see the voice acting to have a lot of German or somewhat German accents. Asuka's German accent acting from Evangelion would be good enough. All this Monster news and no established localization. Sad

Don't use the word [supernatural] when describing monster.

The rumors indicate that Monster is already being dubbed. They might be trying to get a jump on it considering the length of the series and the amount of time it's been since it's aired in Japan (and therefore easily available online).

What rumors? I mean something you've heard or something you think is already happening? I mean I don't think that Viz would Dubbed this unless there was already some plans to release considering the length.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed uberly tight still in hopes that the Monster anime series can finally come out in North America and I've been literally dieing to purchase this masterpiece since I finished watching the fansub version back in summer 2006.

Viz, anyone, PLEASE PLEASE LICENSE MONSTER!!

So true...
In my case, I not only have to pray to Viz for Monster, but to Madman as well, sigh...

(Get down on knees to continue praying)

I hope they work hard to find a really good situation for Nana. That show is really great and I think it could introduce a totally new segment of the american market (women aged like 14-24) to anime if done correctly.
