Review of Monster

GENERAL - Monster is easily one of the greatest psychological series ever created. The arcs of Monster are set up in an interesting way there are many times where the main characters(s) don't appear in an episode at all. Instead the first 2-3 episodes of an arc are used to set up the supporting cast. At points like this it does sometiems feel slow as it may feel like no progression is being made in the story itself although it helps character development with dedicating these episodes to them. These episodes also will help to tie in with plot points later on in the arc. CHARACTERS- Monster has a wide range of characters. With its many supporting characters that get introduced it shows many different type sof characters. Its main lead character Tenma is a very interesting character seeing him developing over the series. The series also has what is one of the most memorable villains in anime.

SOUND - The sound of Monster is reallly well done the music fits the different atmospheres that the arcs take place in

ART / ANIMATION - So the art of the series is very well done however since this series was made over a decade ago the animation is a bit outdated.

The animation does a good job of conveying the atmosphere of the different places that Tenma goes to.

OVERALL - Monster is one of the few series that could be described as a masterpiece. The only thing that truly holds this show back is its outdated animation.

In all its 74 episodes it magnes to all tie togehter and keep you interested all the way through. While it does have slwo points while the new characters are introduced this didn't hinder the expereince of watching the aniem to me.
