The one thing I really didnt liked was the fact that EVERYONE survived that huge explosion. Also I didnt like the fact that Kenji survived the second battle with the robot. How did he tip it over? And how did he escape.
It didnt feel like it didnt need an explanation, it just felt to me like a poor excuse from Naoki to keep certain characters in the story.
Im really sad, it all started so good and ended so weak.
I read all of the manga and I agree that it really started to suck after awhile. I'm not trying to offend anyone or anything. Just my opinion. It was really good for awhile but it got bad fast somewhere past the halfway point. I think I'm going to watch the movies sometime, though.
@Godziller66 well if you like the manga i suggest you watch the movie. i'd love to see how much they want to make this movie close to its manga...but if you dont like it, then...yeah.
go for another hollywood anime movie adaptation, i guess?
@Godziller66 lol american defenders of the "poor japanese" will jump at you on the first occasion when you say something japanese sucked. japanese aren't like that, it's just their american ass lickers! so just say your opinion and you dont need to say "im not trying to offend anyone"...let these ppl be offended and dont care about it
It's a very good manga serie but when the author makes it so long then it turns silly and boring, i read every pic of the manga when i first read the first part and skip a lot after it.
@kanuskiz: i'm sorry but i disagree with you. have you even read the manga twice? the ending for the manga couldn't have been better. subtle hints have been even dropped at as early as the 2nd volume of the manga to make up for the ending so it's actually a well-thought, well-organized finale.
I sorta guessed who the final Friend would be, simply because he was mentioned and then never mentioned for a very, very long time. However, when the big revolution came along, I couldn't even remember the guys name. The ending was fine, but not great. My hopes were really high since MONSTER ended so perfectly.
yeah, it sucked. I heard the author could only come up with shitty ending because he had planned to write a shorter story. But the greedy publishing company made him write more, forcing the author who had no ideas for extended plot. I think the "21st Century Boys" part would have never come out if it weren't for the extension.
hmm, u're absolutely wrong. that statement goes to Naruto. 20th century boys was meant to be twisted, even if it's a bad ending. it's about human's emotions and the publishing company have nothing to do with it. as you see from his latest works, the "monster", urasawa naoki always had the best storytelling.
I heard many things are changed from the original manga just for dramatic integrity however overall I have watched both 1 and 2 and I love the movies. However I think there might be two endings to this movie
I haven't read the book but a friend of mine has and he told me that scenes have changed but only characters not in the right place etc. And to spoil movie one and two. Movie 1: Keiji and co. find out that Tomodachi is gonna destroy the world, Keiji confronts tomo and he finds out his identity presumably and later the monster he used to destroy the world blows up leaving a cliffhanger
Movie 2: Kana goes to tomodachi land to be reeducated, they find out secrets about who tomo might be, and the cliff hanger is that Tomo gets shot, he dies, he resurects himself infront of international television and thats the ending. Oh and Keiji turns out to be alive
holy smokes. holy... T_T. well in all honesty, the trailer doesn't look as epic as in my fantasy. but as long as it doesn't ruin the story, and doesn't totally scrap my great memories of the manga, it's gonna be shit-in-your-mouth AWESOME
Can anyone who has seen the final part PM me a synopsis? How is it different from the manga? Are the identities of the Friends the same? And anything else worth noting.
Fukubei was the real Friend, who set the whole plan up. After his death, the boy who everyone thought killed himself in the science room became a pathetic replacement (character-wise; story-wise it was still awesome).
Oh well, the "pathetic replacement boy" make the plan better than Fukubei did. And...when Fukubei died? When he fall from that palace? Or in the science room, after years and years?
The point of the manga is that there is a Friend, no matter who's behind the Mask. That's why he have followers even after his death.
However, ALL the answers to all the questions are in the first part of the volume 16 (tankobon), all chapters including Superhuman.
i LOVE the series, but i have to say, the original ending was not that good. If i was the director, I'd change the ending too to make it more appealing to viewers (new and old to the series), but well see if its good =P
