I'm up to episode 22, and the show just isn't as hooking as it was the first few episodes. I want some Johann screen time! When does he come around? Not just that, most of the episodes feel kind of filler to me.

When does Monster pick up?

That's unfortunate... The synopsis seemed really interesting.

And it is interesting....it just probably isn't your kind of thing. You seem to like more fast paced and action heavy series, whereas Monster is a very slow paced affair. It's excellent, but I recommend putting it on-hold and picking it back up some other time when you'll know a bit more about what you are getting into and may have opened yourself to different narrative styles.

Yes it certainly does have slower parts around 15-25 EPS, but after 30 it is wholy magnificent.

If it's a pace issue you could try reading the manga, as you can read at your own speed.


who are you to change this world? silly boy.

Alright then. I hope my patience is rewarded in the future episodes, so I'll keep watching.

I just finished it, and like you, I found it to be very slow. I kept taking breaks from watching it, be it days, weeks, or months; however, now that I've finished it, I can wholeheartedly say that the ending is definitely worth the "wait".

Episode 25 onwards is when the show starts getting REALLY engaging and gains interest, I'd say.

If your still on this thread, this is a list of the episodes that belong to an arc.

1-8 is arc 1
9-14 is arc 2
15-24 is arc 3
25-39 is arc 4
40-57 is arc 5
58-66 is arc 6
67-74 is arc 7.

Hope this was handy.

Thanks! This will be a good reference.
I also have to agree, the suspense and mystery is finally picking up.

Monster is worth watching for Wolfgang Grimmer alone. I love that guy.

If your looking to get into this kind of anime but want something less than 74 episodes try 91 days, it has the same kind of vibe that people are saying isn’t for you but saying something isn’t for somebody based on a list is nonsense, If u like fast paced action 91 days will take it down a notch in the action but up one in every other category, but honestly this kind of anime really isn’t enjoyable for everyone but it can be a masterpiece to the people the enjoy this type of mystery or show In general, but I would say watch 91 days to warm up for it rather than hopping into something slow paced when your strong suit is action
