Naoki Urasawa’s MONSTER ON THE SONY PLAYSTATION® NETWORK’S VIDEO DELIVERY SERVICE

VIZ Media has launched Naoki Urasawa’s MONSTER on the PlayStation®Network video delivery service, available exclusively for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) entertainment systems. Episodes 1-6 (dubbed) of the animated series are now available for download for $1.99 each via the Network’s VIZ Media Channel page.

What would you do if a child you saved grew up to be a monster? An ice-cold killer is on the loose, and Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Tenma, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a promising future, risks his career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy named Johan. When the boy, now a coldhearted and charismatic young man, reappears nine years later in the midst of a string of unusual serial murders, Tenma must go on the run from the police, who suspect him to be the killer, to find Johan and stop the monster he set loose upon the world. Conspiracies, serial murders, and secret government experiments set against the grim backdrop of the formerly communist Eastern Europe are masterfully woven together in this compelling work of suspense.

NAOKI URASAWA'S MONSTER Anime, in Full Swing!

If you’ve been following NAOKI URASAWA'S MONSTER on the SyFy network’s Ani-Monday block, then you are well aware of just how gripping a story it is. (If not, then be sure to download all six episodes on iTunes immediately before next week’s two fresh episodes!) Anyhow, as someone who has read the manga series and is just now experiencing the anime for the first time (I know, right? gasp!), I am so happy at how well the anime “translates” Naoki Urasawa’s manga masterpiece.

I’m talking about capturing the spirit of the manga. I’m talking about accurately portraying its complex characters in dynamic full color. Like MONSTER does.

A story like MONSTER doesn’t rely on over-the-top action, stealthy ninja, or even flying robots. MONSTER is about characters like Dr. Kenzo Tenma, Inspector Lunge and Nina Fortner. MONSTER is not about bloody battles, it’s about facing your deepest fear. MONSTER is about questioning the choices we make in life. Best of all, MONSTER is about to get even better. So if you haven’t been keeping up, now’s the best time to start watching.

Check out the trailer on monster.viz.com, and tune in to SyFy Ani-Monday’s block every week at 11PM PST.
