Monster Rancher Episode 14: Holly's Rescue

This episode continues right where the last one left off, with Genki and his friends setting off to rescue Holly--backed by Falcon and his army of dragons.

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 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 2: I'm Mocchi!

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

Time to start our adventure into the world of Monster Rancher! Battles will be fought, tears will be shed, and awesomeness will ensue. (2014 UPDATE: I now have official releases of Season 1 and 2, so not only can this blog continue, I have replaced every image with its proper coloring so you can see how beautiful this show is. :) )

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.
