Monster Rancher	comment	The anime of the game of the same name. The plot of the series followed the adventures of Genki Sakura, a very hyperactive boy who wins a beta disk of "Monster 200X" (which has the same properties of the real MR game) in a video game tournament. As soon as Genki starts it, he is transported inside the game, finding a real world of monsters inside. The land is currently in turmoil due to an evil monster named Moo, who turns monsters evil and rules with an iron fist.Genki joins up with a girl named Holly and her monster Suezo, a pair on a quest to find and unlock the legendary Phoenix, the only known monster that can stop Moo. Genki gains his own monster, Mocchi, from the Monster 200X disk that was transported with him. Soon, the group are joined by Golem, Tiger, and Hare in their uphill battle against Moo and his forces.After two seasons against Moo, the third season takes place one year later and has the group trying to save the soul of Holly's father, which is trapped in a dark mystery disk along with Moo after his defeat. However, most of the MacGuffins the crew had before are now prizes in a tournament, forcing the crew to enter it to accomplish their goal. All the while, they continue to dodge attacks from Durahan (who was an Elite Mook in the second season, now taking the Big Bad spot here) and his baddies looking to steal the disk and revive Moo.Much like the games it was based off, the show became a big Cult Classic and today is often regarded as one of the best animated shows based off a video game. The show managed to run for three seasons, two of which aired stateside on Fox Kids and ABC Family, respectively. The third never aired on TV in the U.S., but was dubbed, and is available online to watch. The show was also quite different from the other Mon shows at the time (PokÃ©mon, Digimon) in that the human protagonists were not afraid to battle alongside the monsters.After 14 years, the series got a complete English and Japanese box set release thanks to Discotek Media.

Eventually they created Moo in an attempt to end the last war, which ended up nearly destroying the entire planet until they created the Phoenix to stop him—and what it took to defeat Moo involved destroying virtually everything. Enough humans were left to rebuild civilization, but far less advanced than it had been before.

It manages to effortlessly take out a troop of Jaggernauts (not related to the trope), and then relentlessly hunt the Searchers. And none of their attacks nor dropping an entire building could stop the machine. It's only thanks to the lighting storm, a pole and some last minute quick thinking from Genki that manages to stop it. Holly puts it best after the whole ordeal. This also applies to Moo as the Phoenix is the only one who can fight him equally.

Monster Rancher / int_323f135b	type	Sorting Algorithm of Evil
Monster Rancher / int_323f135b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Subverted early on when the group's first major enemies were Pixie (strongest of the Big Bad Four) and Moo himself. Pixie got convinced into a Heelâ€“Face Turn, Moo just ripped them apart and left until the finale. It's never explicitly stated who the strongest of the Big Bad Four is. The American version of Monster Rancher censored out a lot of the more violent and action-packed scenes. This had the side effect of making Pixie look much more powerful as the group nearly lost to her, pulling off a win at the last second with a single cherry blossom blizzard by Mocchi. In the uncensored version, the gang won a much more decisive victory with Genki head-butting Pixie to knock the wind out of her, Mocchi unleashing his special attack to knock Pixie into the ruins, and Tiger finally body-slamming into her to end the fight. Nonetheless, the sorting algorithm is still subverted because by Season 3, the heroes fight against Durahan, who's far less powerful than Moo. It could be played straight as far as the Big Bad Four goes, since the heroes didn't have their most powerful attacks when fighting Pixie and were only able to knock her out. For the fight with Gali, Mocchi learned the Mocchi Cannon and outright destroyed him. he didn't get a chance to use it on Gray Wolf, but that battle was personal and harder than if they'd all attacked him. For Naga, Suezo's Teleport and the Mocchi Cannon were used, but it didn't kill him. The Mocchi Cannon didn't kill Durahan, either.

Moo, though insane at this point, retains enough intelligence to remember the Phoenix and realizes they're destined to battle eternally, so he decides to destroy the Phoenix as well as himself-effectively killing Holly's father and the Monsters that make up the Phoenix. The resulting explosion knocks Genki off a Dragon's back and he seemingly falls to his death right in front of Holly... but is actually transported back to his world, with no way of letting Holly know that he's alright or finding out how the battle ended. However, he's comforted by a vision of all of his friends, who encourage him to move on with his normal life. If one didn't view the third season (which most likely didn't because the dub of it was never aired for some reason), then it certainly would come off like this for the entire series.

Monster Rancher / int_738d1a0f	type	Because You Were Nice to Me
Monster Rancher / int_738d1a0f	comment	Because You Were Nice to Me: The Searchers gain quite a lot of allies thanks to this. Most notably Tiger and Pixie. Somewhat Downplayed with Michelle. She is a con artist who fakes being sick to trick Golem out of this prize money, but she actually ends up being touched by his kindness resulting in her apologizing and giving back some of the money. The downplayed comes in considering she only gives half the prize money back, but itâ€™s more than youâ€™d expect from an otherwise greedy thief.

Said house and game are never explained. In the series epilogue, Genki has not only inexplicably returned to his world but now also has ownership of the disk so that he can go back to Holly and co. whenever he wants. Because the English version omitted that epilogue, the final scene is the Searchers admiring the sunrise after Moo's soul is destroyed for good and Holly's father regains his memories... but what happens to Genki?

Humanity once had an extremely advanced civilization that eventually created monsters, stored in CD-ROMs/mystery disks. The monsters were first household pets, then anything that would make life easier, then warriors to fight what became known as the Last War which lasted centuries. Cue the war going too far, ending up in the creation of Moo and in turn the Phoenix when Moo went wild, and what it took to destroy Moo meant destroying virtually everything. Enough humans were left to rebuild civilization, but far less advanced than it had been before.

It is played straight in the sense that Genki is connected to everyone who's part of the Phoenix, and he was the one who unlocked Mocchi. Without Genki, the Phoenix couldn't be revived.

The gang fight admirably but he takes them down with little effort and kidnaps Holly. When the group raid the castle to save her, the second confrontation ends no different and they're only saved when Pixie arrives to break the glass so they can all leap out for their dragon allies to catch them. After which, the group note the urgency they have in finding the Phoenix as Moo was able to locate where his true body is with the pendent. Since if they can't even beat his humanoid form, they stand no chance if he regains his true form.
