Monster has got to be one of my favorite animes so far, but it does have a few flaws the deters viewers from really getting into the action and better part of the main storyline. For one it starts off sloooow. I have tried to convince many people to watch this show and the few that stuck with it really felt rewarded at the end. But the main complaint is the speed of the first few episodes. To me they were great I had a feeling I would like this show and I watched it straight through. But for the most part that is the main complaint that I have heard. As a fan I this show I suggest that you please stick with it.

I love the characters, even the ones that are designed to hate. I love the "villian" of the show. Hes got to be one of my favorite bad guys because of the fact that he is so sought after but yet works behind the scenes. There is a lot of comparisons to him and Hitler, which I also thought was an interesting angle.

i gave art a 6 because i think that it is suppose to be unattractive people. The characters are mainly not good looking. Ironically one of the few people that is more handsome is the bad guy Johan. I took it to be representative of the fact that people in general tend to not believe that the pretty people are monsters. Instinctively we trust pleasant looking people rather than unattractive ones.

This is a very enjoyable anime overall even though you might have to grind your teeth a little to get through the first few developing episodes. I say give it a try.
