Review of Monster

I didn't like this series. I didn't like this series at all should be how I phrase it. The first time it came on was on Sy-fy. Don't get me wrong.. I was glad that there was a new anime showing but I was not thrilled with it. I decided to give it a try, and the moment the opening came on I dropped it. I couldn't watch. It was like trying to read a book that you strongly dislike but were trying to against your nature.. Of course I should be able to give you a good opinion on the anime by just the opening alone.No. I can't. I decided to watch one episode after nearly three months of it being on.. and I must say I regretted it.

The plot.. I had to read up on it but I can basically give you a discription.. It was boring... and un interesting. Sometimes I didn't even know why the anime was doing half the time.. and the unnecessary scenes.. Really.. this was painful. And I never thought I would hear myself say this but.. Twilight is better than this. Oh.. that was painful. The story took way to long to actually developed and dragged a great deal in places. It was like running the series in slow mo.

I couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried.

The next set was the art. The art just pretty much sucked.. it had that dullish aura about it and that really pathetic display at it. People who know me, know that I usually pay more attention to the art and this time I could not because of how poorly it was. 'sighs' My time wasted.

The opening theme was what made me turn, not just the plot or how bad the art was. I melody chosen didn't go well with the series like most do. And the opening animation was something I swear I had seen before. Completely unimpressed.

The voice actors were descent.. as far as I can tell.. but I really don't want to go into them seeing as I couldn't pay much attention with how hard I was trying to keep my nerve to watch that episode.

The characters.. again I rather not go into this. I found them dull.. uninteresting.. and pathetic in development. But they deserve a three for keep the series a float for others.. as for me they sunk.. and I couldn't enjoy them.

Speaking of my enjoyment.. as I have said.. it was like trying to read a book you couldn't stand. And I still wince at the memory of this series. I just have to rate this a one because of how much I struggled to watch. I wanted to just bash my head against my dresser after it was done. Never again.. and the reason for why I dropped it.

Overall I rate this a two. Even though I hated it to the point of saying Twilight was better, I have to remember to give a fair rating for the series.. and that is a two. I didn't like the story.. it wasn't very well developed and dragged way to many times in places.. the characters were completely uninteresting and though they provided to keep the story a float I couldn't get into them either.. the sound was descent yet I couldn't stand it sometimes.. and the art just sucked.

I think it deserves a two.
