I first heard about the Buddha manga series a long time ago... but only just now have I started to read it. The story is extremely good; I've read relatively few stories set in India, and this is a really interesting glimpse into the culture, society, and stories.

The characters are awesome too... Chapra, the young slave who hides his caste in an effort to work his way up in the world; Tatta, an orphaned Pariah who can commune with and possess animals; and of course the young Siddhartha, who would become the Buddha. It's got action, solid characters, drama, and peers into a culture rarely seen in literature. I'm only halfway through book one, but I'd still highly recommend it.

The art creeps me out and makes me not want to read it.

I should add that there's a lot of nudity in the comic, but it isn't the sexualized sort. That's just how people lived in a lot of warm climates.

Also, something about the style reminds me of Astro Boy.

Possibly the fact that it was drawn by the same man?

As awesome as this channel is, it's really annoying when they show the original language and don't show subs.

It's better than when they play Korean stuff, though.
At least I speak Japanese, just not enough to watch GitS.

Kinda funny, actually.
This one time, they played a Japanese show with Chinese dubs and Korean subs.

I guess you could find a fansub and then play it at the same time, while looking back and forth between them?

Let me sum up Monster so far,

Does Monster start getting a bigger overall plot soon?  I'm on episode 15 now.

I think that's more or less where I've given up on this one.
