I have been looking for a way to finish Monster after I started it years ago with the only officially released dub version available (the DVD box set of the first 15 episodes). So where can I watch the rest of the series with the dub track? I'd prefer not to sign up for another streaming service in order to watch (I'm ironically already spending more on streaming services than I would for premium cable), but I would pay to stream/download episodes if that's the only way to get it. Please help me out and thanks in advance!

Beware of bootlegs, their quality can be quite poor. Even if they have the right number of disks. And they often don't.

If they do not have:
the name of the distribution company on the box ( for Monster, it was Viz );
a Japanese language track;
also, no subtitle track because no Japanese track;
a barcode with a stock keeping unit number ( SKU );

then it is very likely a bootleg.

Just my two bits. I've been burned by a few of these.

That's definitely a bootleg.

The $50.00 version is no longer coming up when I do the search. The more expensive versions are the Australian Siren Visual release. I know because I purchased it from them before they folded. The dark image is the (flimsy) series box while the creamy coloured images are the individual dvd sets. The SV release has a barcode on the.back.

I wouldn't buy a bootleg copy myself.

Monster is my absolute #1 anime.
I've yet to watch anything better.
