Monsuno Season 2

Monsuno Season 2 has built a real following on and among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 111 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Keiji Fujiwara's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Monsuno Season 2 is worth clearing space for. What makes Monsuno Season 2 work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. The 5 adventure-seeking teenagers are once again in the battle of Monsunos, now, however, with Jeredy Suno officially back from being missing or kidnapped. But along with old foes, come new ones, with The Forge Resistance, a manufacturer bent on destroying the world with Wild Core Bombs, The S.T.O.R.M. Strike Squad, a team which could be considered the anti version of Team Core-Tech handpicked by Charlemagne, the Hand of Destiny, a team of century-old tribes who have hidden themselves from the world underground long ago, and Six, a teenager clone of Dr. Keiji Fujiwara and Cam Clarke lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013. Monsuno Season 2 resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Monsuno Season 2 fits the bill. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Keiji Fujiwara grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
