Monster Rancher Episode 13: Moo Revealed
Last time on Monster Rancher, Moo was made aware of Holly and the Magic Stone, and set out in search of them! In this episode, we see Moo in action for the first time--and we learn something very, very, very important that will color the rest of the series (and previous episodes too.) It's THAT big.
Just like in episode 2, Genki and Mocchi jump up over the title card. "Hey, come on! Let's go and find a Mystery Disk, 'kay?" "Mocchi!" Golem pops up too with a "Yeah!"

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 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 4: Eternal Worm
This episode is the reason I started this blog. It's an encapsulation of what makes the Monster Rancher anime so special, at least to me. There are better episodes than this one, but this is the earliest sign of how good the show can be at its best. Eternal Worm was the first episode to emotionally resonate with me, which is part of why I hold it in such high regard.

The episode starts off happy, with Genki and Mocchi jumping into the sky and the episode's title card. "O-kay!" "Mocchi!"

Monster Rancher Episode 1: In The Beginning
The episode starts off with the title card, "In the Beginning", displayed over a shot of the sun as seen through a glass window, then a lingering pan over a city, presumably Tokyo. After a few seconds, it cuts to the inside of a stadium and cheering crowd, and stage lights snap on.
