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 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.
