Synopses: This is another version of the story of Renton and Eureka. For almost half a century, mankind has battled a mysterious organism from space called “EIZO.” In 2054, there is a young soldier on board the fighter aircraft commanded by Holland, GEKKO, of the renegade group GEKKOSTATE, who is battling EIZO. The young soldier’s name is Renton. He boards Nirvash and heads for the battlefield. He has only one dream: to rescue his childhood friend, Eureka, who was kidnapped eight years ago and return to his hometown. Fate, however, brings tribulations to test the young love between Renton and Eureka --mission and emotion, truth and lie, past and future, life and death, reality and dream and even Holland – the entire world stand in the way of the two as the final battle with EIZO approaches...

Monster Coming in October - But Only on TV for Now...

The Monster anime series will begin airing on Syfy’s (formerly SciFi) Ani-Monday block on October 12th. Each episode will be re-broadcast the week after on Chiller (Syfy’s sister channel).

The TV license belongs to Manga Entertainment, which in turn belongs to Starz Media, which in turn belongs to Sony (it's a rich tapestry), but Viz has the home video rights, so as far as a DVD release for the series is concerned? Nothing concrete for now. There was a prior announcement that it will be out in December, but it's not currently showing up on any of my sheets. Setup the TiVO for now.

The Monster manga by Naoki Urasawa is available here.

(Oh, and Macross Plus will be airing on October 26th. Now you can't go wrong there!)

Synopsis: Kenzou Tenma, a Japanese brain surgeon in Germany, had it all: incredible skill at his work, a rich and beautiful fiancee, and a promising career at his hospital. However, after becoming disenchanted by hospital politics, he chose to save the life of a young boy who got shot in the head over the life of the mayor. As a result he lost the support of the hospital director, as well as his position in the hospital and his fiance. A short time later, the hospital director and the doctors that replaced him were murdered, and once again he was catapulted back onto the top. But as the chief suspect of the murders, Tenma did not get a easy life. As a matter of fact, it seems that the boy he saved was much more than he had appeared to be... Now to clear his name and to correct his past mistake, Tenma must get to the bottom of these and other murders, and investigate the truth of the Monster who is behind all of this.
