Monster is one of the great anime series I have ever seen. This was also my first time to watch anything that Naoko Urasawa did. His work is definitely great in this and I tell you now why.
(Story)
Monster story is really addictive it's because even you can predict some things in this anime it's really has many interesting meanings and these meanings are great because they are great example of that can be used in life too.
Story has many many twists so you cannot always predicted what will happen next. That's why it's left to people to think about and discuss it until the near end.
Also storytelling is this once just fabulous. It's start really slowly but after couple of episodes it's just amazing how it can stay right track without going to go any side tracking all episodes that are in the series is connected somehow to the main plot line.
My grade for this awesome story is 10/10
(Art)
Art in the Monster looked first really weird it has a nice touching of old animation and it's like you watching really old movie that has old characters in it. But after couple of episodes you just really start understanding the art better and it's actually fits in the series really well. But one thing I have to say about art the persons eye's are almost same kind of which is weird. But all in all good art and definitely fits of this anime's atmosphere.
(Sound and Effects)
I really has to say monster definitely delivers in this section also. Music is really scary and effects that goes with make it really connected together. I have ever seen so great effects and music like in this anime. It really keep viewer in the good mood.
I have to say I kind of got fed up with the OP theme because they are using the same OP whole 74 episodes. But it's atmosphere and scenes that is shown during OP is just amazingly done. And that's really go nicely to atmosphere of this anime. Now ED theme is my favorite one and it's has dark atmosphere in it. And lyrics also seems to be so good that they fit into this kind of anime.
Monster get's nice 10/10 in music and effects.
(Characters)
Now where monster really shines is characters and definitely character development in this one. Because it seen in a lot of this series. All characters are really greatly developed whole series and also viewers see flashback stories most of the characters that has role to play in this anime. There is also many type of characters in this anime. But what finally connects this string is same goal in the end. Also everyone is having emotions too.
I am going to give this excellent anime 10/10 for characters. and awesome developments that are going on here.
(Enjoyment)
I really did enjoyed monster I just watch it and didn't response any kind of other responses. Because this anime is so freaking awesome that I just sat on my chair and watched like 10 + episodes per day. And when it ended I had feeling I wanna watch more.
Monster get's enjoyment 10/10
(Overall)
Overall Monster is great adaptation and is really worthy your time. You just wanna watch more once you are started watching this anime. It can also deliver you awesome character developments, really dark plot and wonderful meanings that could has place also in real life. It also seems what is really important in life with those meanings. Monster is complete anime with all the emotions that it has inside.
My final score this EPIC anime is going to be 10/10
