* The opening theme, "Grain" by Kuniaki Haishima, contains a choir repeatedly singing the first line of the third stanza of the Coventry Carol: "Herod the king, in his raging." The carol recounts the events of the biblical Massacre of the Innocents, wherein Herod, the King of Judea, ordered the slaughter of all the male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the coming Messiah.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Enforced trope, due to the animated adaption first airing a full ten years after the manga debuted. Tenma uses a pager to be reachable by his hospital, and he has to request the use of a newspaper publisher's archives to gather information about Johann's disappearance a decade earlier. In the same episode, email is treated as the way youngsters chat and set up ''dates'', with Nina later using a phone booth to alert her parents she's going to be out for the night.

** Thanks to an edited version of the first ED song beyond Viz Media's control, there's a good chance that there will never be an R1 ''Monster'' DVD Volume 2. It also doesn't help matters that Naoki Urasawa's works have never been successful in the United States.

It also doesn't help matters that Naoki Urasawa's works have never been successful in the United States. While the subbed version was eventually added to Netflix with the ED intact, the dub remains missing from streaming and the only way to legally obtain it is to import the Australian release.

* DummiedOut: One aspect of the known playable builds being unfinished is that many of the options present in-game had yet to be implemented, such as the Story Mode and some sort of MiniGame that was apparently planned for the final release. Trying to access these options in the game simply does nothing.
Added DiffLines:
* NoExportForYou: Suffice it to say that the game being {{Vaporware}} killed any prospect of it ever getting a release outside of Japan, even though the developers ''were'' apparently interested in spreading news about the game overseas.

!! [[VideoGame/{{Monster}} The Game]]:
* DevelopmentHell: The game has remained unfinished since the 2000s, and the collapse of its development team at the time means its chances of ever seeing any sort of finished release are incredibly slim. ''Ancient Cline'' doesn't even have the benefit of having a playable build available, making it true {{Vaporware}}.
* HeAlsoDid: The game's lead designer Sho Kawakami (known online by the moniker "[=ShoK=]") is believed to have worked on the original ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' as a character designer, and created the original design for Jon Talbain. He may also have contributed some concepting work to ''VisualNovel/{{Morenatsu}}'', another kemono-centric doujin project.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** ''Ancient Cline'' itself is one big WhatCouldHaveBeen -- it was going to polish up various aspects of the game, revamp the shift system, and add more characters, but a playable version of it still has yet to be found.
** According to some sources, the game was almost picked up by Creator/ArcSystemWorks at one point. The dwindling development team is presumed to be why the deal never went through.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/RichardEpcar normally goes for more [[LargeHam hammy]] characters than the subdued role of Lunge. In fact, you may know him for voicing hammy characters such as both Etemon and Myotismon in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', as well as Mr. Noisy in ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' -- now contrast that with Lunge.
