‘MONSTER’ Debuts on SyFy’s Ani-Monday TONIGHT!

Monster, based on the critically acclaimed manga series by Naoki Urasawa, makes its debut tonight on SyFy’s Ani-Monday block.

Here’s a plot synopsis from the press release that Viz Media sent my way:

“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.”

I’ve actually never heard of this series, but I’m interested. If you’re looking for some new anime to check out, now would be a good time to set those DVR’s!
