Review of Monster
Going to address the lower scores first. Art: While the art is generally good, the artist really likes a certain character model, and will use that model a lot over the series. It makes some minor characters look alike, and can get a bit confusing at times. Sound: The music was fine, just nothing spectacular. I do like the opening theme, and the first ending theme. Now, let's talk about Monster. Just for a short description, a genius surgeon saves a little boy who's almost certainly going to die. After that, stuff starts happening. (I'm not going to say anymore because it spoils a bit of itwhich is better left to watch).
Most of the characters were really nice to watch, and the main antagonist is one of the most chilling characters I have ever seen in anime. While Monster may not scare you, it will create a very tense atmosphere at times. It is over 70 episodes, but it's well worth it.
As a final note, the last arc is quite possibly one of the best story arcs in anime... ever.
