Review of Monster

*Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a nameless monster.* Naoki Urasawa's Monster is a Masterpiece by every standard. It's One of the shows that you can feel that you got brainwashed when you watch it. Story 10/10 This is the best plot I have ever seen, It's realistic and manages to be thrilling without the usage of plot devices and super powers, one of the things that I applaud the story for is its realistic nature.It's deep , it has a message, and knows how to thrill,It also reflects the bad nature of politicians and corruption, it also shows the after-effects of theiractions, Note : You may have to look up for different references on some important historical events that have happened to fully digest the plot. *Also there will be many times where you will feel like you are passing your way through a labyrinth to understand the story*

Art 8/10
The Art is not top notch , but it is pretty good the reason I gave it an 8/10 was because there are some characters that look like characters you have seen before which makes things a little bit confusing in the beginning.Especially that Monster relies on a lot characters instead of giving one character the center of attention.

Sound 10/10
The Voices are well done, The Music is one of the most emotionally scores I have ever heard, so kudos Madhouse for these wonderful pieces of soundtracks.

Character 9/10
I would have given the Characters a 10/10 but there were many characters that were introduced and they didn't do any purpose in the storyline so I give it a 9/10.

Enjoyment 9/10
I enjoyed Monster as an Irreplaceable experience that I have yet to experience better, the drawbacks to this adaptation is that it takes multiple episode build-ups to finally get to the main event you have been waiting for , rather than that I have enjoyed it a lot

Overall 10 + 8 + 10+ 9 + 8 / 5 = 9.2
Ceiling that gives us a 10
so its a 10/10 (Masterpiece)
