So .. Many people claimed that this anime is a masterpiece and wadsoever. For me , i did enjoy this anime but not to the extent of what people exaggerate to be such a masterpiece and so on . I would only give about 8.5/10 overall. Just read on and i will tell you why.
Story : It all started when a doctor saved a 10 year old boy that all the messy murders happened because those hospital directors being idiot and eat the sweets that the fan gave to the 10 year old boy as gift for wishing him recovery. Actually before that , there are darker story but the real part started when Tenma is kind of like being suspect as a murder. There he goes on his run , chasing after the real culprit.Even towards to the end of anime , there are many questions answered but the story is great. Many dark parts , it has very sad parts and finally the ending people wanted to see <3 HAPPY ENDING~~ However i would only give 8/10 for the story because I did not get to see the reason why the culprit done all these shit and how did he kill them ... Here i thought it will be revealed around the last 2 episodes... Though i am pretty sure the story does not end at episode 74 so i gonna check out the manga ....
Art : Well , i kind of like the art style because it gives the very very classic type of movie production feeling . Back days when we watched tom and jerry , popeye , that kind of art style feeling . So i kind of like it cause it makes me feel like i am back in the past watching some cartoon again. Those characters are really well drawn as well . Because i do not have the image of Germans and so forth but they did really well on making the characters to a extent like we can see the differences between Asian and Germans . Not like many characters .... Be it foreigner or japan , the characters are still designed as loli or whatsoever bullshit. So i would give 10/10.
Sound : Opening song did not catch my attention because it was basically just instrumental playing and is not a very good one at that. However on the other hand , the ending song is VERY sad . There are 2 versions of ending song , one sang by female and another sang by male . The female one , it is Japanese version and the other one that sung by male is the english version i think . Both versions kind of like did a great job in expressing the sadness along with the lyrics. It is like telling us what johan is feeling or a message to johan , at least in my opinion lols. There is also great soundtrack during some part of the arc when characters get closer to the truth , that has great crescendo making it very intense. 7/10
Character : This 74 episodes anime run is so long to be honest . And really , i don't see much character development in any of the characters . Tenma remained the same way as he is towards to the end . Anna , she became sort of crazy and very determined to kill the culprit that cause all these murders but still remained helpless , weak to the end . Johan , the culprit as well . He remained as a monster to the end killing many many people without us knowing the reasons behind it... Well , there are some characters that developed well in the sense of looking for the truth behind what Tenma said. The part of their arc when these characters getting closer to the truth of these murders made it very intense and they began changing their views on Tenma's story. I must say that the most exciting part in this show is on Johan , the monster side. I get very excited on Johan's Past and how is he feeling and what he actually is thinking when he killed all those people. The way he manipulate people and the way he is able to sniff out all those murderers even to the point of knowing all the details about them made me curious how is he able to do so . He is a REAL monster.8/10
Enjoyment : Overall , i enjoy this series a lot . Many cool and great characters were there to make the show intense and exciting . NO HATES PLEASE : The villains in this show are the one that helps me enjoy this show the most. The way they say about how this particular person they look up to.... and just how charming this person he was.... and how scary he was... ( Johan) It just makes me hyped hyped hyped want to see more and learn more about Johan . He isn't your usual villains in any other animes . You just can't bring yourself to hate him even after what he done . AT LEAST , in my opinion . so i will give 10/10.
