Review of Monster

Just finished it and it is weird for me to sum up my opinion. I feel like at the start, the sequance of event was really thrilling but then it faded off, slowly, painfully. Dr. Tenma is a moral man. A kind of the man you want to be like but just know you can't live up to the ideals he implify. His moral rightneouss definetly added a lot to his character. Eating himself over whether he did the right thing saving Johan, Is it ok to shoot a man who hurts others, etc. The upcoming side characters are unique and colorful with intersting backgrounds (Dieter, Heckel,Hugo andthe Burmese child etc.), but as the show progressed, it was rare to find interesting side characters that you can connect to (the only one for me after that whas Mr. Grimmer).

I hated how Anna's/Nina's character evolved. Implified unstableness, mentally-illed, flashbacking often, then screaming, then fainting. Then flashbacking. screaming and her pupils diluting. I really liked her at the start, but in the last 15 episodes she was an unstandable reck, a lump of disorders.

At the beggining, as Johan nature and essence were unknown, he did had dreading aura, turning everything he touched into wilt. But as the end neared we had some sort of idea of how he's like, it felt stupid being so scared of him at that point, like he is some supernatural, invincible demon. I mean, come on, you don't have to pass out after reacting with him for 2 minutes, or breath so heavily. The overall continious portray of him as a limitless devil was tiring and out of place as the story progressed.

This anime is mixed by a lot of good and bad.
