Naoki Urasawa's Monster

(Anonymous) 2015-04-26 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Just...why is it SO SMALL?

There's a lot of quality fanworks (including the amazing people who translated Another Monster -- praise Jesus!) but I really expected there to be more people.

I don't know, I love Monster but I never really felt the need to pursue any fandom about it, really. It feels pretty complete on its own.

I also think Urasawa's work is very... auteur-y, in a way? So the idea of reading fanworks about it is a little stranger to me than it might be in other cases.

By fanworks I mean fanart mostly (there's not really much fic) but I'm surprised there isn't more discussion on it.

It has some incredibly deep themes.

That's true.

I don't know, really. Maybe it's the length or something.

da

I felt this way about Monster as well, and a lot of my favorite series. I tend to seek out fandom if I feel like there's a plot hole I want to prod, or a crazy theory I want to discuss, or if there's something about it that leaves me wanting more. In the case of Monster and others, I just feel content with what I read, like I don't really need to join a fandom to scratch that itch.

Fanficcers are probably satisfied with what Urasawa's provided and feel no need to expand on it. Fanartists are probably intimidated by all the adult characters and find his art style difficult to emulate, so they don't bother trying. That's my theory, at least, since I can find people to discuss it but that's it.

Speaking of Naoki Urasawa, I'd LOVE to see more fanwork of Pluto. I loved that shit, but unfortunately, it's damn near impossible to tag or search properly.

Pluto will forever remains my favourite Urasawa work. Maybe because it's shorter than his other works so the story seems tighter.

Not gonna lie, Pluto was what finally got me to read Astro Boy. I'd read other Tezuka works, but for some reason, I just didn't have an interest in Astro Boy until I read Pluto.
