Just read on Wikipedia that 2013 there was actually talk about a real life adaptation as a TV series for HBO, directed by Del Toro.. :blobcateyes:

Just saw that one of my favorite anime is now on Netflix.
If you like realistic thrillers, watch "Monster".

I've read the manga before I saw the anime and really like how they adapted it. :blobcatheart:

This is one of the few anime where I'd love to see a real life adaptation, filmed in Germany with the appropriate actors as it plays mostly in Germany, starting in 1984 and jumps to 1995.

• This is a keogram, showing the brightness and color of the sky as seen from the Netherlands for each day during 2022. The hourglass shape is the length of the night changing over the year, and the diagonal bands are the Moon moving across the night sky approximately each month. The Sun's brightness can be seen around 13h local time (brighter in summer). Finally, lots and lots of clouds can be seen modulating the sky brightness during each day. (remote)
