Review of Monster

Monster is probably the most unique anime you will ever see. It has one of the greatest story lines of any anime and the character development is nothing short of fantastic. The story follows a genius brain surgeon named Kenzo Tenma who saves a boy from a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head, against his director's orders. The boy grows up to be a serial killer and Tenma has to search for him while proving his own innocence. This synopsis does little to do the series justice but anything more would amount to a spoiler. The only problem I have with the series is itsambiguity and slightly slow-pace to some episodes but this is a very minor detrimental effect from the series as a whole. It also has one of the best endings of any anime I've ever seen and I would recommend it to anyone, anime lovers or not, because it is truly fantastic.
