The story of monster is one of it's many strong points. the story is easily the best psychological thriller anime you will ever see. Kenzo Tenma is a renowned suergon at a hospital and is a very good morale man, who believes all lives are equal and all he wants to do is save lives. however after learning that the hospital he works for is not at all as good moraled as he is, he makes a choice to save a young boys life over a patient that has came in after him being the governor or some shit. Tenma successfully saves the boys life. years later a string of murders occurs and he finds out that that young boy is a true monster killing like a maniac, and now it's up to tenma to stop him. See, the story of Monster is truly about unraveling the secrets of the killer that Tenma saved, as well as the morales that tenma believes every life is precious. story - a perfect 10
The art and animation to the show is not really the highpoint in my opinion in this show because it really isn't something spectacular. it's an interesting art style but it is mainly just there to get the job done. but I wouldn't knock it, it's just mainly dated, I mean it is 2015, this looks shit compared to what's in anime today. art and animation- 7
The sound is one of the best thing being done in this show. It not only perfectly executed but it's easily one of the best musical tracks I've ever heard in an anime. The opening is the true definition of art and it is beautiful. with a definite high point in the show I give the sound a solid well deserved 10
The charecters are actually awesome, and I would go into them one by one, but the cast is HUGE! Mainly a must see to understand why, but I will say that the reason the charecters are awesome in monster, is because every last one of them is likeable to either absolutely amazing to very creative, especially johan's character (the killer). truly the character side of the show deff deserves a 10 as well for having such a large cast and ALL of them being likeable.
my main reason for this show to be recommended, is because this show is the best definition of how a psychological thriller should be, and has truly the most evil main villan I have ever seen in my entire anime watching years. it's a one of a kind a must not miss if your into the psychological thriller genre.
