The new anime Monster, based on the manga by Naoki Urasawa, has been on the SyFy Channel's Ani-Monday block these last two weeks.  Not many anime get chosen for this, so it's giving Monster a special amount of publicity and viewership it wouldn't receive if it went straight to DVD.  

If you've missed it, Manga Entertainment's Manga.com has something special ... but only for a short time.  By going to their website, fans can watch the entire first episode, plus episode clips.  The first episode will only be up for so long, so if you're interested, hop to it!

 "We're pretty excited to be working with the Viz guys on this one," said Steve Sargent for Manga Entertainment.   "It's a great series."  You can just trust him that it's great, or, better yet, find out for yourself. Urasawa seems to be a fan favorite amongst the staff here at Japanator, so I don't see how you could go wrong.
