YMMV / Monster Pulse

• Harsher in Hindsight: Julie's openly expressed distrust and dislike when she first learns that Abel has killed a monster (and its person) before turns rather heartbreaking when you learn the death in question was Abel's sister when he unwittingly destroyed her lungs, thinking that they were just a monster out of nowhere that was attacking her.
• Ho Yay: Rafi and West get quite a few moments when they're stuck together in the cave. Eventually, they hook up.
• Moral Event Horizon: Dr. Lulenski having four children kidnapped to create a team that will forcibly bring Bina and the gang to her. And how are these abductees taken from their homes? By Lulenski obliquely threatening to turn Ned's child, her friend, into an experiment if he doesn't do it.
• Ugly Cute: The various organ monsters, at least after they're done bursting out of people's bodies.
  • Guuzy in this page here is an especially good example. Yes, he's a giant disembodied mutated stomach, but he's also the most freaking adorable thing ever.
  • Despite being a sociopathic girl with acne and buck teeth, Nancy has several cute moments.
• The Woobie:
  • The entire cast appears to have shades of this, but by far Bina has been taking the cake. Poor kid has no idea why her heart is walking around, what The Men in Black want with it, or what she's supposed to do next.
  • Claire is another strong contender, her paranoia causing her to live in fear that her spine might murder her in her sleep.
