Since i've seen a lot of people saying this anime is great and i really like its genres (thriller, mistery, psychological, etc) i decided to start watching it but i'm now on episode 4 and the anime is a 'meh' for me. I really want to try enjoying it but i just can't, so.. does it get better? Or no?
I'm just asking this because it has more than 70 episodes and i don't want to watch it all if i know i'll continue to dislike it.

yes it get s better. it's a slow paced series for people who appreciate methodical storytelling tho. it's not similar to shows like death note, steins gate and AoT.

Wow wtf, are you saying that just because i like those anime? i am not expecting nothing like those because i know monster isn't a kind fantasy/out of reality anime and i didn't even say i wanted something like my favourite animes.
I didn't know that now people can only like a few genres, i'm sorry then.

What do you dislike about it?

Also, mind that its a 74 episode series and a thriller at that, you have to give it some time to really put everything at the table.

Yes it does get better. I was the same myself after the first few episodes, but out of curiosity I kept going with the series (despite it taking me a year to get through), and it now remains as one of my favorite anime.

I think someone pointed out above that it is a psychological thriller, so when you take that into account it will have a slower pace than your average mystery drama. But if you push through the early episodes, I think you'll really get into it as more is revealed about each character.

dude calm down. i didn't even look at your favorites. i type the same comment in every "does it get better" thread about monster because most people complain about the slow pacing and lack of "thrilling action.

Calm down. People might have jumped to the conclusion, but you have not specified what you expect from it and what exactly you don’t like about Monster, so they can only make a blind guess in this situation.
"The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and as a natural consequence he always looks absolutely delightful."

It is not the same thrills as Death Note (I know, this thread had some mishaps with it), but it relies on the horror atmosphere. If you look for action thrilling scenes, then maybe you would not like it much. If you like Anime like Mushishi, in a similar sense, they rely on the atmosphere for the thrill ride. Though, I understand if you do not like it.

judging a 74 episodes show based on first 4 epi kkkkkk.
I'm at episode 33 rn,this just keeps getting better.If you don't like it after 14-15 episodes then this just isn't for you.
Reading manga will be faster if you don't wanna watch the anime.

i just asked if it would get better because right now i dont even have much time to watch anime, so if it isn't going to improve then i'd rather watch other anime instead.
No... with this kind of story i prefer watching it animated, thank you for the advice anyway, i'll watch it at least until those episodes then
