Is it worth?

I am on episode 5 of Monster. In my view plot is going pretty slowly. As for now I have no clue how the story can go for around 70 eps. I heard a lot people saying it's masterpiece, but for me it's boring. Will something actually interesting happen and if so around which ep? I am considering dropping it.

Its best of manipulation and very dark story so even if there are boring parts for the flow of the story, it becomes a truly immersive work afterwards.

seeing as many anime as I have i can say this is unique which is more then enough reason to watch, uts admittedly slow at first but if u like stories with conspiracies and crime drama you'll really love this. I personally stopped the anime at like ep 19 but then I bit later I decided to pick up the manga(I read really fast so pace became a non issue). But when I did decided to revisit the anime I came to realise this is an incredible adaptation and very high quality. Its very slow but if u take your time who knows maybe this will become one of your favourites

It's a slow burner. I recommend watching every episode if you want the best experience. But if you want to skip episodes to get to the action or something, then I advise just dropping the show.

If the show feels slow I also can recommend reading the manga, that way you can read as fast as you like.

This anime is a masterpiece. A multi-episode anime like this needs to be a little slow to allow proper character development. If you skip episodes you will have lost the whole point

If you drop it, you need to experience 511 Kinderheim. You will change your opinion about this anime.

It takes a bit to pick up, but the opening arc is the weakest of the whole story. It’s only up from here

Like what the other comment said though, if you have a TikTok attention span you don’t need to force your brain to enjoy peak man

I personally think 1-20 episodes was peak. And I even at later episodes have been revealed It was not really satisfying for me to know. Episodes 1-20 was so peak for me. Makes you really wonder what kind of person he saves. Early episodes was the best and for me when truth was revealed it is not great as what I feel during those early episodes.

It depends on how you feel after watching 10 episodes. If I say anything wrong about this, these anime fans might get angry about me. Some people call it a masterpiece because of Johan's story, he is a manipulator.

monster is slow burn. if you don't like stories like that, no matter how much of a masterpiece a story can be, you won't like it.

it do be slow, and has a lot of characters, world-building. it could be said as slow-burn, but I also find it to be dragging a bit too-long at places.

Yes, Monster is absolutely worth watching, especially if you enjoy slow-burn psychological mystery thrillers, complex narratives, and morally challenging themes. Personally, it’s one of the best anime I’ve ever watched. It was one of the first few anime I experienced, and it hooked me around episode 5 when Johan makes his appearance as an adult. I’ve always been a big fan of dark psychological mystery thrillers, so it didn’t take much for me to get invested.

@Semi_01 overhyped? That was released in 2004 and still recommended it stood the test of time the same way with the logh ova of the 90's. That what classic do same thing with cowboy Bebop who was released in 1998.

Well.. it's a slow anime. I wish it was around 40~50 episodes instead of 74. The characters are good. The story doesn't have much weight to it tho. Everyone of my friends hyped it up to be a masterpiece and i went in with very high expectations prepared to be blown away. It's not all that in my opinion. Others might tell that it's a masterpiece but I feel like it's a bit pretentious and tries too hard.

Even though i think the opening is great from a writing, story and set up perspective. I can see how it can appear as "boring" for some people. Urasawa's stories work better as mangas imo. But i still say stick with it. It's one of the best of all time.

Someone clearly didn't read Green Eggs and Ham to the OP back in the day. A shame.

A good or great story sometimes needs considerable build-up before stuff really starts popping off.

In order to get to the good stuff, you have to fully grasp Dr. Tenma's situation this far. His viewpoints on human lives being equal influences his big decision in the early going. This decision is what kick-starts the entire plot.

Maybe keep watching in order to see why? 🤷‍♂️

The first half is great but the ending is just ok, even if it does wrap everything up. I'd say if you're not invested after finishing the first 25% just drop it
