Necrotime!

I loved the entire prison arc, and I don't really see how Gustav and Helene are any more minor or pawn-ish than any other set of characters meant to give development to the main cast. To complain of contrivances while we're talking about a piece of fiction is fairly moot - it's how well you contrive your plot that counts. spoiler[Gustav and Helene gave development to Milch, yes, and even more so to Tenma, showing his principles and priorities even in such a dire condition. The prison arc was probably his lowest point, and showing him risk his own safety and chance at freedom for an unrelated crook says loads about his character.]

I'm trying to be a good R1 consumer with this series. Oh Monster Box set 2 where are you? I'm still waiting for any word but it appears that this show isn't selling as well as they'd hope or they would at least publish a release date for it's next edition.

I bought this set when it came out and haven't watched it yet. Would have no idea that the soundtrack was changed if this thread wasn't bumped.
