Where should I start, the rhythm yes, don't tell me that the rhythm of monster is cool because it's not, only the beginning is good and at specific moments I really wanted to watch the next episode and another detail is that it has bad episodes for example Tenma hitchhikes with an irrelevant elderly couple another example Tenma goes to a village and helps a doctor's mother to do a very forgettable operation outside that monster makes a series of ups and downs that is, sometimes it stays good others bordering on monotonous but not bad. The premise is nifty, Tenma decides to operate and savethe life of a child who had arrived at the hospital before the mayor of the town he was told to operate on instead. This was mainly him coming to the conclusion that all lives are equal and that we should not discriminate on the basis of age, wealth and social status and that we are not the people who should decide who lives and who dies right after the operation. Years later the boy he ends up saving is a serial killer and Tenma, being the type who likes to blame himself for everything, decides to hunt him down and that's how it starts, well the premise is excellent in the execution it should.

Characters, starting with Tenma, Tenma is a multidimensional character and a pile of brooding and was used as a scapegoat to make the plot more tense, apart from that it kind of self-refutes, I'm going to kill Johan for my mistake of having ló saved, ok, but along the journey Tenma helped a terrorist to be killed because he is benevolent, apart from that you doubt a lot of Tenma's ability to execute Johan, but that's exactly where the monster is funny and it's unpredictable that is until the end of the anime you can't know what will happen, and when it's at the height of Tenma supposedly shooting Johan as he was forced to make a quick decision is a secondary thug that does the job, so can I say at least what the journey was for ? I didn't understand, (maybe for nothing) if Tenma questioned that it wasn't his fault for saving Johan or if pulling the trigger wouldn't make him an evil being or to defeat Johan he needs to become a monster or killing Johan would get rid of a big one bad, but that kind of development was lacking and Tenma always hits the same key which is to correct the mistake of the past and only he can undo it, but it seems that the hero destined to end the villain failed.

Johan, simple question, why do people like him so much? Johan is practically a ghost, he appeared very little but I confess that all his appearances, he gained all the space on the screen, he was cited as the real monster, the pure evil and another that a totally evil being is unthinkable, and where is his monstrosity? in reality this is never shown, compared to Berserk's Griffith achieved a much greater feat, of course Johan killed innocent people in cold blood and two more monstrous things he did was make the detective commit suicide and manipulate a boy and as a consequence the same almost committed suicide, but Johan's way of acting is behind the scenes and uses his almost extras puppets to do his job (except Roberto is the most memorable and toughest lackey in the fall) taking advantage of his weaknesses and traumas, through manipulation and being kind and comes to be forced by chance Johan has Geass to control the person in the palm of his hand reaching the extreme point of committing suicide, he also says that Johan is extremely intelligent being sincere the greatest feat shown was to disguise himself like Anna but in reality it is never shown how smart Johan is, not to viewers for example, cited that he bankrolled and got rich, and didn't tell how he did it. The end maybe we expect an explanation of Johan's motivation but all he did the whole anime was to gradually erase the trace of his existence, or the message "we all have a monster inside us", and have a perfect suicide.
