My first review ever::: please do not mind my english
Monster is a shinning star between the anime community members; are you a death note fan? then monster is having a high potential to jump into your top anime list. this is what I had in mind when I started the show then end up with huge disappointment.
Story:
I don not have much enthusiasm to the main character being a doctor, however I though that the story Has a lot of potential at first 5 to 6 eps, then we started with a loop of meaningless one shots, but still ok with that, until I realized that every single part of plot is an air bubble, the mysterious connection with Johan and the rich man, also the red roe mansion has a lot of vibes and meaning and entering that place means you are facing your own death right? it is just literally a one empty room and this applied almost to all the plot.
But how Johan managed to know all of those information about all the people of Czech and Germany, and what really had happened to them it just doesn't make sense.
Why Johan was the one who effected the most when the sister was the experiment subject ?
Characters:
Not so much to say about this :
Tenma: a doctor who is trying to atone his sin, all the others have more lines than him.
Nina: one of the ominous, her lines are mostly "I remembered" and "I don't know"
Grimmer :not really a MC however the only remarkable one
The animation :
is not the best consider it is from 2004 however the quality really droped at the last 4 eps/
Overall:
4 of 10
