There is a reason Monsuno Season 1 keeps coming up in conversation. Monsuno Season 1 treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Chase Suno and his friends, Jinja and Bren, are on a search for Chase's father, Jeredy Suno. However, they soon become involved in something else upon reaching their father's lab and becoming involved with an organism known as Monsuno. Chase, choosing to side with his father's work, denies S.T.O.R.M. Keiji Fujiwara and Cam Clarke lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2012. The rules of Monsuno Season 1's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Monsuno Season 1 a chance. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Watch for Keiji Fujiwara in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
