Review of Monster

What can I say? It has been months since I started this series and it’s finally come to an end. All I can say is, the psychological trip and philosophy in this anime is diamond-tier. I don’t think there’s problems with the pacing at all and the side stories and supporting characters are what truly built this series to perfection. The plot twists were the most unprecedented moments most of the time. At the first 15 or so episodes of this series was what really captivated me. Personally, I have never seen a close-to-realism anime ever. The set up for the plot was well executed.The OSTs were fitting. The opening was unskippable most of the time and if you haven’t seen any episode of Monster in a while, the opening consumes your senses to feel the atmosphere of the series. The endings had sublime messages towards the plot that maybe a lot of viewers didn’t notice until the... ****SPOILER START****

***Spoiler end***

Anyhow, I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the ending but overall I’d still give it a 10. I have never watched an anime so beautifully done. Explored concepts like never before. A classic. Animation not outdated. Lovable and hate-able characters. And many more. Truly a masterpiece.

Big up to my guy Richard and Martin though. Both of ya’ll real men. I wish they had OVAs or side story mangas for some of the side characters but i guess that’s asking for too much aha.

Man’s got an exam in May. so hopefully this will be me last anime for the meantime.

Im glad I watched this series.
Thank you Madhouse (although it’s a bit late) and thank you Naoki Arasawa.
This show has a special place in my heart.
