The dark anime, Monster, starts tonight on SyFy channel at 11:00 pm - 12:00 midnite (2 episodes). I haven't seen it before, but am really looking forward to it, as its not available on DVD in the states.

Synopsis:

Kenzou Tenma, a brilliant Japanese brain surgeon working in Germany, saves the life of a small boy who has been shot in the head. Little does he know that doing so would destroy his entire career at the hospital and that his fiancé would leave him. When the hospital director and doctors of the hospital staff are suddenly murdered, he gets a second chance but also renders him as the main suspect to the murders. Life goes on for Tenma as he saves people at the hospital, and he goes back to the joy of being a surgeon again.

Years later, an injured thief gets brought to the hospital. After Tenma saves his life, he finds out that the thief is involved with the rising count of serial murders happening in Germany. Suddenly Tenma is involved in it all when the little boy, who is now a young man, turns up and kills the thief in cold blood right in front of Tenma. Now Tenma must clear his name, find out more about the boy he saved in the past, and reevaluate what the value of life is.

I have never heard of this but it sounds interesting. I think Im going to check this out tonight if I remember

If you like good horror animes then you should watch Higurashi (When They Cry -American name)and Elfen Lied. Tokyo Majin also looks good but I cant completely recommend it because I havent seen  it yet. Heres a Higurashi amv that I made (self plug )

Very cool video, and yes, that is an awesome show.  I've only seen the 1st volume, so I didn't want to watch all of the video in case it gave anything away.  I also just got Elfen Lied from eBay and am looking forward to see it (haven't started yet though).

I just saw one of the best movies ever:  Perfect Blue.  That movie was a trip, and extremely well done.
