Review of Monster
This anime is just amazing. It's like a better and much more realistic version of death note. No supernatural powers required. Just Johan. The op and eds were quite good, the eds sounded a bit creepy at first, (the animation in the background didn't help) but it grew on me quite well overtime. I particularly liked "make it home" and the other one with the line "for the love of life, there's a trade off..." The story is so complex and well expressed that I'm still thinking of all the interesting because in the anime that I missed. Dr Tenma is extremely likeable, so are the restof the characters a̶n̶d̶ ̶J̶o̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶u̶t̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶i̶f̶u̶.
The art is a bit old, and It may be the only real downside to the entire story that I can think of.
The show is very long, but it to me, never left like a drag. Even the filled episodes where we don't see much of Tenma felt complete in their own right.
Definitely watch this show, if you liked death note or other similar mystery and crime anime's.
10/10
Verdict:
Urasawa is too underrated.
