Monster Rancher Episode 12: Monol's Story

Are you guys ready to see an episode of Monster Rancher that probably would've traumatized me if I'd seen it as a kid? This one is super important, not only for what it reveals and sets up, but also showing that this series isn't afraid to get heavy. Really heavy.

Monster Rancher Episode 10: The Ruin's Secret

On this episode of Monster Rancher, the Searchers meet their most powerful enemy yet--a member of Moo's Big Bad Four. Battles will ensue!

In this episode the Searchers head into dangerous territory, and we learn a bit more about the Monster Rancher world, its inhabitants, and what awaits the Searchers next!

Monster Rancher Episode 8: After the Rain

This episode's a heavy one. Tears, nightmare fuel, and even some foreshadowing.

It begins with a nightmare.

Monster Rancher Episode 7: The Courageous Seven

This episode's name is a shout out to the Magnificent Seven Samurai, and has a similar theme. With our cast of heroes assembled... it's time to meet our villains.

Monster Rancher Episode 6: Hare's Trick

This episode is very interesting for a lot of reasons. It has the anime's most famous deleted scene, it's the closest the series would get to being like the games until Season 3, and it's the one episode I saw in full as a kid. (When I saw the show years later, it was the same episode.)

And we meet another important character, too!

Monster Rancher Episode 5: Tiger of the Wind

This episode's another big one. Major character, major plot points, tearjerkers galore, and backstory! Let's get to it!

Monster Rancher Episode 3: Guardian of the Disks

This episode starts off low-key, but it introduces a very important character and a very important plot point. It begins with Holly using the Magic Stone over the title card.
