Line 21: * An abandoned building in Episode 11 sports the graffitied logo of the band Einstürzende Neubauten. [[Stealth Pun\|The band's name translates into "collapsing new building," ''new building'' referring to post-war architecture.]] * According to Eva and ''Another Monster'', Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" is one of Tenma's favorite songs. In the anime, an instrumental version is played when Eva dances with Roberto at the bar. * An instrumental version of "[[The Wizard of Oz (~~Film~~film)\|Over the Rainbow]]" is played in Episode 55. * Tenma ([[Self-Insert Fic\|like Urasawa]]) played the guitar in high school. ==== [[Fairy Tale]] allusions and [[Fairy Tale Motifs\|motifs]]: ==== * [[Beauty and The Beast]]: {{spoiler\|How Bonaparta sees his situation with the twins' mother.}} * [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: A name, eh? And strength? And a [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]? How about reunion with your other half? * [[City ~~With~~with No Name]]: "The Nameless Monster." * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: "Big-eyes and Big-mouth." * [[~~Hansel and Gretel (Literature)\|~~Hansel and Gretel]]: Poor, abandoned brother and sister wandering alone... ** [[Little Red Riding Hood]]: ... And running into a guy called [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic\|Wolf]]. * [[Knight in Shining Armor]]/[[Prince Charming]]: One of the chapters is titled, "A Prince on a White Horse," and it is also who Nina thinks Tenma is, mistakenly thinking that he was the one sending the anonymous "romantic" emails to her when in reality the sender of the emails is {{spoiler\|Johan.}} Line 45: * In the anime, the streetlights are mistakenly rendered as blue instead of green. This is because streetlights are that color in Japan. * One article in a Bavarian newspaper says something along the lines of: "Kahns Liebesaffären, Promi-Luder" ("Kahn's Affairs, Prominent Hussy," Kahn being a former Bavarian goalkeeper). * At one point, a few of Dr. Reichwein's files on patients are shown. The names on these files aside from Richard are all German film personalities, including [[~~Werner Herzog (Creator)\|~~Werner Herzog]], [[wikipedia:Nastassja Kinski\|Nastassja Kinski]], [[wikipedia:Wolfgang Becker\|Wolfgang Becker]], [[wikipedia:Bruno Ganz\|Bruno Ganz]], and [[wikipedia:Wim Wenders\|Wim Wenders]]. * [[Defictionalization]]: ''The Nameless Monster'' was turned into a real children's book with a holographic cover. However, it is out of print. * [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Thanks to an edited version of the first ED song beyond Viz Media's control, and with [[Unpleasable Fanbase\|such a grateful fanbase as this series has]], there's a good chance that there will never be an R1 ''Monster'' DVD Volume 2. It also doesn't help matters that Naoki Urasawa's works have never been successful in the United States. * Averted now that entire freaking series is [https://web.archive.org/web/20130606094653/http://www.hulu.com/naoki-urasawas-monster available dubbed streaming] on Hulu. *** And [http://www.youtube.com/show/monster Youtube] for for non-American viewers. {{reflist}} [[Category:Monster (manga)]] [[Category:Trivia]]
