“Grain” is dark, atmospheric, chilling, surreal. It reaches for the sacred while wallowing in the profane. It is like nothing else I have heard. It is perfection.
It is also the opening theme for Monster, one of the best fictional work I have ever experienced, in any medium. Highly recommend, even for, to use a cliché, people who hate cartoons.

Hey, I agree Monster is a good show, but I have one that’ll top it. Go watch Death Note ^^

They’re both great, but while Death Note is blatant about its themes, Monster is quite subtle. They’re for different audiences.

To be honest, while I think the Death Note plot is good I had a hard time emphatising with, or even liking, any of the characters. I was entertained intellectually, but I didn’t care what happens to the characters.

Yeah I agree so far that Monster is better, more subtle, less adolescent… (about 15 eps into Monster) also the 2nd half of Death Note (post-L) totally sucked.
