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 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 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 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.

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.

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!"
