My first review.
An anime that I thought was going to become the best ever after I had completed like the first 10 episodes, went downhill so fast that by the time it ended I was surprised I had managed to finish.
When you think about 74 episodes and look at MAL rating of 8.5+ you imagine that the story will have the real steel to it and that everything will be tied together perfectly. Unfortunately monster is not at all that.
Its a story of 15 episodes max or probably 6 to 7 episodes that have been stretched to 74 episodes with unnecessary characters that add no real value, And because of that story or the characters and their intentions done even make sense.
I wasted my time watching unnecessary deviations hoping they will all add up together in the end but Nah! The protagonist Tenma is as confused as the writer and the main villain Johan is as boring as the story.
if you don't want to hear "Monster is coming... Monster is coming...and I have a very scary story to tell" for 70 episodes continuously and If you really want to watch monster at its finest.. Watch the first 5 episodes and then watch the last 2. Trust me you won't miss a thing! .. That's how empty the story is.
I would have rated it 7 or 8 had the series been 13 episodes but with 74 episodes, it was a lot of time wasted. Boring.
