Review of Monster
What makes an anime a masterpiece? That's easy, it should have little to no plot holes, well crafted scenery and a plot that is as interesting as it is unique. Monster is a masterpiece in all sense! All of my ratings for this show (Story, Art, Sound, Character, Enjoyment and Overall) are 10/10. This is because this is truly one of the most respectfully and visually appealing piece of audio-video material, of all time! Story: A highly respected neurosurgeon named "Dr, Kenzo Tenma" saves a young boy who was shot one night. Eventually that boy grows up and plans to do a world-wide genocide and the doctor muststop him.
Art: Instead of making it a stereotypical anime, having characters with big eyes and awkward body sizes, this anime is the most realistic when comparing them to humans. Eyes, nose, face, everything is as close to humanly possible as it is.
Sound: The soundtrack behind the show is very well done! Orchestra scenes for sad parts, intense music for intense parts, each piece of OST is well done and fits perfectly in the scene.
Character: The characters in this show are as believable as they are real. There is no cheesy, fake emotions planed like as in AoT. These people have real goals and real intentions as they plan on a way to get there. I cannot really say much or go in detail for spoiler reasons but, 10/10.
Overall: Monster is a 10/10 anime, it is literally the only anime that is perfect. Most of the anime that I give 10/10 to are due to rounding, this one gets a perfect score just on itself. There may be times when it looks daunting or slow, but believe me, it is not. This was a show I binged in two weeks, it was amazing! Worth another watch!
Pros:
- Story
- Character
- Dialog
- Soundtrack
Cons:
- *Certain* people may find it slow, other not, depends on what you are into
- Not for those looking for a fun or happy theme, it is as serious as it's title.
