 The Ending of Monster *spoiler*
I really enjoyed the anime, but the ending left me out in the cold.

*spoiler*

Why the ending of monster is so inconclusive? I gave up my normal life for 4 days and nights just to watch it, and in the end no real conclusion.
Johan is missing and we are not told who the real monster is.
Is johan normal or near normal now?
Where is he and what is he planning to do?

maybe I and all those who feel the same way as me should go and ask Naoki Urasawa himself.

What are your thoughts? Do you find monsters ending satisfying?

Yeah, I liked it. I was actually very disappointed that after all that chasing around and Johan being, well, Johan, he was just shot and hospitalized in then end. I had hoped for a more meaningful conclusion. So when he reveals that their mother might have confused them and he goes missing from the hospital, I was actually fairly content. It also has some metaphorical content, as evil is ineradicable and such, but mostly I was satisfied that the ending wasn't such a boring parade of human virtues.
