I saw that and was like dam. I gave NGE a 1 so I can't knock someone for not liking Monster. Sometimes a series just isn't for you.Tallawah giving it a four as the first vote has me dying.

I still need to finish this come to think of it
7-7.5
I'm very interested to see this one feedback, the first 40 or so episodes are OUTSTANDING but then it kinda fizzes out and ends kinda interesting. I also think Johan is probably the most overhyped villain in anime

i was wondering if you were going to cover this. 8
I use Monster as an example for why manga > anime when the adaptation is 1:1. It would take you at least a week to finish 74 episodes of this show unless you straight binged it whereas the manga can be knocked out in two or three nightly reading sessions. The anime doesn't really enhance the source material in any particular way unless you love the OST's (just okay imo). It's just far slower and requires more patience to get through.
At the time I read Monster 9-10 years ago I thought it was the best psychological thriller ever. One of the great debates is whether or not Tenma did the right thing saving that child over the politician regardless of how Johan turned out. Probably the best cat and mouse game in the medium. Gave the anime a try years later and hit a point where I could barely get through episodes because of how long it stalls on scenes that are delivered quicker through manga pages. If I had the patience it would probably be a 10, because I don't it gets a 7.

Go visit the thread and see my posts for my reasoningEva a 1
Never seen it, but heard about it for years.
Heard some good things, but also heard a lot of complaints about the pacing so I never put it on the list to watch.

Early morning bump
As a casual anime head, this was the first series I watched with an intricate, dramatic plot and it completely blew me away. It introduced me to a whole world of anime outside of the shounen genre - so far that reason I rate it a 10.
Last bump
I can tell dude is about to get framed for those murders
