for characters the assistant has more of a character frankenstein himself is much more build up and is while not a complete villain it clearly shows him to be a very flawed person the monster also was built up more doing a very good job in showing a greater depth of him and more time focused on those aspects then the classic movie this also gave everything better structure by giving frankenstein a family this allows more drama and giving frankenstein relatable concerns with what he did
for the animation it was not very good i would give it a 5 it does enough to do what its meant to but no scene looked notably impressive the sound does a bit better with music help setting things up and doing a decent job of it and while the japenese voice acting was not great there are enough moments were the it does a decent job in properly giving the intended emotions the there are times it is a bit flat but older anime movies had this problem so i feel this put a little more more effort then average
over all if you seen and liked the original american frankestein this build on the themes of it while adding things to increase the depth that is why i gave this a 8 as it did many things you would want with a frankenstein movie
