So Monster is set in Germany...

narcasseI can’t decide if Monster is actually meant to be a potentially interesting critique of Germany’s citizenship policies and the state of affairs for foreign doctors overseas or whether those factors are entirely incidental to the plot from the first episode. I suppose in the next episode we’re meant to find out if the doctor in question has his permanent stay already anyway, though judging from the supposed time period he wouldn’t actually have citizenship.
I’ve also wasted several minutes of my time trying to figure out if I’ve ever been en route anywhere which would have involved flying over Düsseldorf. I don’t think I have, though looking at a map certainly doesn’t explain why I was once on a daytrip to Hamburg from Bremen either, especially when my only recollection of that occasion is the inside of a train station. At least I think it was a train station; I suppose it could have been the airport which still wouldn’t explain what that daytrip was about. I suppose I’ll add it to the list of strange places I’ve been to for no apparent reason whatsoever: I’ve been up Croagh Patrick and the Rock of Gibraltar too.
There’s also a quote from Revelations at the start of Monster which somehow reminds me of several things, up to and including the fact that "The Accuser" is a title and not actually another name that ol’ Sammael got stuck with. I suppose it might be a title that serves just as well as a name but still, on a point of technicality it’s not his actual name.
What? Pedantry? Nonsense. Here, do you want this golden apple? I hear it’s good for discord.
This’d better not turn into Black Jack in Germany. Where was Black Jack set anyway? And why did it involve Miya-sama crossdressing?
