In lieu of going on a four paragraph rant that kills two hours of time for me, I'm just gonna copy-and-paste from my tuktok 10 Anime list:
Monster.
This anime. THIS ANIME. When I started Monster, I had this strange facination with it that I didn't pag-ibig it, but refused to stop watching it. I thought that I should find it boring, but didn't for some reason. That reason came in a blonde haired, blue eyed, pretty boy package known as the embodiment of evil- I mean, hell on earth- I mean, Johan.
The story held its own and wasn't actually all that generic. It was an awesome story in all aspects, not just the cast. It seemed to have a bit of Death Note to it in that there was the blurred line of good and evil. On one hand, Tenma saved the life of a ten taon old boy. On the other hand, that boy grew up to slaughter hundreds of people. It isn't quite as complex in that aspect as Death Note, but it madami than makes up for it.
The ipakita doesn't have much in terms of true comedy. It has it's light hearted moments, but nothing that really comes in comedic form. This, along with the gloomy settings and dark plot, can make for a bit of a downer. Then again, it's a ipakita called Monster for Pete's sake. Not exactly mga paru-paro and rainbows. Still, the drama and the maturity in terms of making you think is incredible.
