One of the best plots ever written

Lejos una de las mejores series de anime que he visto.

Too much time to not tell anything at all... **Slow and empty.** Overrated show mostly because of teenagers searching for something more dark and mature in anime. But honestly, it fails gracefully trying to reach.

I'#39;m still waiting for this to get picked up by some american television network. Come on HBO or Netflix.

Who tf put a negative towards this show for having a “underdeveloped main antagonist” are y’all brain dead? He is literally one of the best anime villains of all time for a reason

It’s beautifully animated and the meat of the story is very good, but it’s heavily compacted with far too many side-plots and far too many secondary and tertiary characters that do little to nothing to advance the main plot, but definitely frustrate the viewer. Character developments (or lack thereof) are largely simply pathetic. And after enduring all of that, the ending is so underwhelming that I was almost left speechless. The best way to summarise ‘Monster’ is that it’s very full of itself.

I enjoyed many characters in the series, including Tenma, his ex-wife Eva, Dieter, Grimmer, Inspector Lunge, and even minor characters like Martin (Eva's bodyguard). However, the show's slow pacing was hard to ignore. What bothered me even more was Johan's (the main antagonist) backstory, I found it to be nonsensical. Why do those stupid children's books hold such importance? How did Johan become the person he is, and what is his goal? How did he orchestrate the 511 orphanage massacre? How does he manage to manipulate everyone, including influential individuals, to carry out his plans? He hardly made any screen time, and when he did, there was nothing convincing about him apart from his good looks and calm presence. Definitely overrated.

Johan the best character in the show has like 10 scenes of screen time wtf. I liked that the side characters were fleshed out but it was at the expense of the main characters. The show was over stretched and over stuffed and nothing tied back to any real plot. It was all meaningless with no real objective.

So, I have mixed thoughts about this show, Like i really liked it but in same time i felt that there were a lot of useless episodes, I know it's from the manga but for real there were a lot of stuff could get attention rather than other things, As Wolfgang Grimmer I really liked him and wanted to know more about him, so idk maybe bc It's finished series long time ago so i felt that off? ( i mean not weekly episodes ) but anyway still great anime, And different one

Well, this was a waste of precious time. While the animation, music, setting are good, the writing is very poor. This show is overrated, slow-paced beyond belief, stuffed and stretched wide for no other reason than to look brightly complex; 2/3 of the show don'#39;t really tie to anything, don'#39;t develop neither story nor characters. The dark and mature tone doesn'#39;t make up for the bad writing which leaves a bad aftertaste. The Monster definitely left an impression: unimpressive.

Saw this one coming back in my all-time stats. One of the few tens I'#39;ve ever given to a show. This is absolutely one of the best things ever made. In the hands of the right directors this could even be made into one of the best real action shows ever. But it should probably keep it'#39;s legacy in the anime realm :) .

The plot of this series is phenomenal. The author is extremely talented writing this series, I can feel. It'#39;s just that the episodes here are quite long, but maybe that'#39;s the part of the storytelling.

At first I thought the protagonist was a monster, but apparently the story is the scary

Great anime to watch. Great story, very dark, sometimes it'#39;s a bit slow, that'#39;s my main issue with it. Even if you'#39;re not into anime you can watch this easily.
