Ok.. Basically, it's about a doctor who saves a kid that was about to die. Well, that seemed to be the biggest mistake the doctor name Dr. Tenma has ever made because the kid grows up to be some kind of murderer and a real master mind.
Story:
wow, to begn, this is probably one of the very few long series I have seen. (the other being Marmalade Boy), I rarely watch any series longer than say, 25 episodes. But something about this series just got me hooked on it. The story is definitely mysterious and its sort of creepy in a way. At least I was while I was watching it. Anywhos, the story has so much details and so much backgrounds, it's simply.. brilliant.
Art:
eh, the animation wasn't as great compare to other series, but in a way, I'm glad it had that realistic human look because if they had huge eyes and pink hair, I would probably be freaked out.
I think one of the other reasons that maybe they used that certain art style is perhaps to make it more realistic. I mean c'mon, the details are so realistic, let's not ruin it here.
I'm gonna skip Sound because honestly, it wasn't too great and not alot of BGMs stood out for me during the long ass series.
Characters:
It's similar to the reason as explained in 'story'. There are alot of characters and if you don't like alot of em, then this series is not for you. Sure there are the main characters, but I can't even count how many other characters were introduced throughout this series. And it's even worse because you have to actually remember some of them because they appear in the early parts of the anime and then shows up again later in the series.
But overall, I think they did a great job connecting all these characters in one way or another. Not to mention how creepy the killer is. He even appeared in my dream.. or nightmare I should say.
Overall, I'm not too much of a fan of mystery and such, and the series barely had any romance, but I have to say it is the story that just amazed me and the details of it. It really got me to feel the way the characters were feeling in some scenes. Anyway, I think it is an interesting series to watch and definitely worth watching all 70+ of em.
