Review of Monster

Monster,this "colossus" in the psychological thriller and horror genre,this hidden gem,that not many people heard of,it's an incredibile work of art. I can say from the begining that psychological thriller/horror genre,in general is my favorite genre in all art.That being said,i watched tons of movies and i read tons of books in this subject,so,a very small part,out there,actually surprises me. Monster is a nihilistic story and anime.So much sadness and suffering,human corruption,and violence in all its forms. If You are a very optimistic person,this show might eat You from the inside,and introduce pesimism into your life. Not a single scene of happiness,nor a second of life.Just death and misery. Monsteris different from his "twin", Death Note by this caracteristic of nihilism.Death Note had many happy moments and comedy,but this show is a complete monotonic and life-ending one........in the good sense.

One of the best of Monster is,it's concordance with reality.Never forget that this show's Most important insipiration is....reality.
The Human corruption,and the monster that live in each of us,ready to reach the surface.The same monster which did reach the surface in extremists and criminals.

Story(10/10)
Undoubtly,one of the best that i have ever encounter.
The story line is going very slow,with a lot of flashbacks and things like that but iT caches you.If you like this type of animes,and movies in general,you will love the story,and twisted plot.

Art(10/10)
So dark,so gloomy.The art is simple,but perfect and in complete compatibility with the subject.
The way characters are drawns especially inspector Lunge,IT will transmute You in real horror anime.I just like Lunge's draw because is so spooky and its working perfectly with me,in a rainy morning with a coffee,and Monster.

Sound(9/10)
I rated this a 9 because i felt that the soundtrack could have been much more better.
However,the opening is my favorite till now.
I also appreciated the continuity of the opening,in the context that most animes around same lenght as monster changes the opening 4+ times.

Character(10/10)

The characters in monster are simply briliant.I really think of these characters as one of the best conturated in the all anime.
The complexity of construction takes me to Dostoievski's creativity and characters.And im serious.

Enjoyment(9/10)

Because of all the flashbacks which in my opinion are overwhelming and exghausting.
However,this doesn't change the inevitable:

Overall(10/10)

Masterpiece.

Monster must Be seen,by much more people,even If its harder to understand.The philosophie You get from IT can Be life changing.
Especially for the extremists and teen rebels,who think that Hitler is good and Killing people is fun,not distinquish reality and fiction.

But...Monster....isn't it fiction....?
Well,we always carry a monster with us.
We all hide a Johan inside ourselves.
