That anime was aired in Brazil in the early 2000. I watched as a kid and even got the game, but I lacked any of the "special disks" that gave special monsters. Was a ok show in that pokemon era.
My friend dusted off his PS1 and he has a Monster Rancher game tho it wasn't what we expected. It was a pogo racing game and boy did we lose our sh*t playing it late at night and drunk af. everyone fell off the platform and didn't reach the finish line because of all the laughing. Anyways, this was big in the Philippines. Almost everyone who watched it back then probably remembers it. Suezo is quite famous compared to the other characters perhaps because of the funny voice acting of the local dub. Too bad the ending OST Flame Of Love by Sweet Velvet isn't on spotify, I really like that song.
I feel you. The amount of🤔 I get when I ask my friends if they remember it and then 😮 when I show pics and describe it is crazy. BTW the reddit thread is super nice and welcoming if you're looking for other MR fans.
if they remade this game with the cd summon system using steam cards and the training/ tournament system that was in monster rancher, used jade cocoons taming and fusing system it would be the ultimate beast catching game imo
This is a smart idea. I think Koei are really set in their ways when it comes to the game. It will need some new blood at the company to be ambitious and go for stuff like that.
There was a recent game in 2022 called ultimate kaiju. But they really focus on their Japanese market. I wouldn't say it's disappeared yet but it's on its way. The fact the my friends are all like '🤔 why does that sound familiar? ' when I ask them if they remember monster rancher, are signs that in the western world, it will be forgotten unless the creators do something special.
I don't know whether I played Monster Rancher 2 first or watched the anime during the early 2000's in the Philippines but regardless, I watched the show every Thursday night when it was aired and I find it more serious compared to Pokémon's plot and tone. The monsters in the show can die just like in the game which made me a bit upset whenever I saw one on screen but I suppose the show teaches us that it's part of life. I don't I actually saw the ending of the show properly but I did saw the part where Genki and his friends finally defeated Muu, and he came back to human world while it was raining and his friends cheered him on. However, I don't think that's how the end really is. I guess I need to rewatch the entire show again after 20+ long years.
This why I liked the show. It wasn't overly cute or innocent. It had a much more realistic element while still being a kids show. You can also watch the full epsiodes show on youtube :D
Thank you! Eurgh, yeah, audacity...it was so fiddly this time for recording. What was even weird is if you listen to the video on an android phone it's fine. But if you listen to it on iPhone it's scratchy. No idea how that's even possible
Because this one never was showed in europe. foxkids or cartoon network had diffrent show usa or eu... I cant remember because it was never showed here. so i might only be i see comments asia or some america parts
The maker of this video says they watched it on the BBC, IE a brit... So it was shown in certain parts of Europe. I bet Spain got this show and probably France.
Pokémon > Digimon > Yu-Gi-Oh > Monster rancher was dead last so no one cared about it. The character designs weren't original or memorable, it was a product of its time which got lost in the mix.
It’s crazy how much media it had at the time for it to just kinda disappear
Whereabouts are you from? I had people from reddit telling it was shown late night in their home country and had zero marketing 😅
@@waggishwonderland I’m from the United States
I loved Monster Rancher card game, thank you for this video.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Did you enjoy the game? I think fans who watched the show first was disappointed that the game was so different.
They have the monster rancher line but region locked I've been waiting since then for it's global release
which one are you referring it?

You're like the third person from the Philippines who commented on this video. It must have been seriously popular there
Lack of merchandise sales
More so than lack of marketing?
I preferred monster rancher to pokemon and Digimon, but no one else I knew cared about it, :(

Didn't even occur to me it disappeared from anime history I'm more annoyed that we didn't get video games on it for a long time.

Im a fan monster rancher.
There's still a few of us around!
Great video but the audio is too bass
Thank you!

I spent 10 years trying to figure out the name of this show lol 😅
!! Well I'm glad this video solved that mystery. There are full episodes on RUclips if you want more of a nostalgia trip

@Zeiss120 I definitely saw it way back, and I'm from Germany.
As people have said, it was shown in Europe and as a Brit I watched it on TV.. But it was poorly marketed
Card Captor Sakura got another season, so :)
Yeah... - Alice (the co-owner of this channel) is very happy lol
I'm just dreaming of a reboot of monster rancher

The designs were original. I think the presentation wasn't memorable and as you said, got lost in the mix.
season 3 was bad
How so?
