Review of Monster

"If you don’t want to be betrayed anymore… then start doubting the person you want to doubt the least." - Inspector Heinrich Lunge You've probably heard of Monster... uh... no not the energy drink... this isn't a site where you review energy drinks, so obviously not the energy drink... Anyway, if you've heard of Monster I'm sure you've heard that it's pretty fockin' epic, if not... why are you here? I mean... even if you haven't heard of Monster, still... why are you even here? Story: 10/10 The story is truly outsanding. Add a 't' between the 's' and the 'a'. That's what that word is. A extremely,and I mean one of the best, one of the most legendary... the ext-... Okay, an extremely talented neurosurgeon has to choose to save the life between a young boy or the town's mayor. Well... he chooses the young boy because he didn't want to listen to orders anymore. Anyway, it turns out that young boy is... a serial killer. He kills people. He's like ten years old, and he kills people. Yes, dangerous, I know. Scary, too. Kenzo Tenma is the neurosurgeon, and the young boy is Johan Liebert (pronounced Yo-han). Tenma meets Johan about ten years later and figures out he is the serial killer behind the murders ten years ago. And, Tenma is the suspect for all the murders. After Johan leaves Tenma to be, Tenma decides to go on a journey to find Johan and kill him for what he had done. He isn't doing it to prove his innocence. He just wants revenge, I guess.

Art: 7/10

I actually will forgive this anime for the art and animation, because it is actually quite good, but it's not the best. This anime was made in 2003 or 2004, so it is actually kind of old. Almost ten... no past ten years old. So, you'd have to expect and old anime like that to have not too good art-style. But, the art-style is fancy and I kinda like it, it just isn't the best.

Sound: 9/10

I really like the soundtrack, especially the opening that plays throughout all 74 episodes. I didn't really want the opening to change, because it suited the anime and what was going on. So, I'm glad it never changed. All the music and stuff used is extremely good.

Character: 10/10

I love every single character in this series. Tenma, Eva, Johan, Nina/Anna, Lunge, Grimmer, Suk, Karl, Schubert... wait, nevermind... I fuckin' hate Roberto. Anyway, the characters are developed interestingly, especially Eva Heinneman, her development from the start of the series to the end of the series is truly fascinating. Lunge is still one of my favorite characters, and you will probably read Lunge as "Lung-je." when it is actually "Loon-gay". That was not meant to be a joke, that is literally how it is pronounced.

Overall: 10/10

I love this anime. It took me a month or so to finish it, but I think I was taking breaks on purpose because I loved it so much. I was sad when it ended, but the anime had such a perfect ending, that I wasn't that sad. It ended with "insert spoiler here". Yeah, I spoiled it for ya'. I put a insert spoiler here sign there, that means there was meant to be a spoiler there. But you'll never see that spoiler... hehehehheh... This... was... AWESOME!
