| This show was so addictive. I just wanted to watch more. It was really really good imo. |
| It's packed with inspirational dialog and exciting plot twists. |
| 10/10 anime with 8/10 ending. |
FutoiOtaku said: It kinda sacrificed entertainment for gritty realism and moral debate. Extremely well written, maybe a bit too clever at the end, but undeniably an unforgettable anime. My only reservation is that it’s not really a traditional anime, but an animated drama in my mind. Nitpicky I know, but you asked what we think. And it’s only opinion, I’m not trying to force people to agree. Still, a 9 for me. I think "animated drama" describes a decent number of anime series, to be honest. Otherwise, this isn't necessarily an unfair takeaway. Personally, I loved this series, but I can respect your perspective. |

| Very interesting on the historical aspect On the storytelling aspect? *spoilers ahead First 2 arcs were brilliant! Was connecting to the characters, getting to understand why they are the way they are, pacing was good keeping a nice level of intrigue to the story. 3rd arc started to fall off for me, pacing became sluggish and characters didn't seem to be as well written. The last episode mostly made absolutely no sense, but i did like the very end of how even though Oczy's book never got published the title alone kept that spark of curiousity alive leading to Albert and many others to continue the research |

That seems like trying to define anime as a genre rather than what it is, as a medium which can accommodate and be made use of by every different genre and style imaginable. You're saying this because it includes fewer popular anime conventions or tropes, I imagine? But there are a number of anime like that. Like, for example, all the avant garde ones. |
Reply to Ilhan391
It's okay imo. The last episode kinda ruined it but still okay
| @Ilhan391 check out this other mal post about true ending explained. Perhaps you will reconsider. @Ou4l1d @ZXEAN you as well, not sure how to quote you, but since ending downgraded your experience. I wonder if it changes your opinion or do you still feel the same after that explanation. |

You seem to understand what I said perfectly well, it’s not about genre just that the art style is in no way moe and facial dimensions are human not cat-like. I get that anime encompasses all animated media with a mostly Japanese production company and staff, but am pointing out the stark difference between this and 99% of standard anime. I respect the makers for that choice and rate it very highly, but was simply expressing what my thoughts were as asked for. Shows like Jin-Roh have a similar feel and work well. Do you have similar feelings about Naoki Urasawa's works? (Not a "gotcha", I'm sincerely curious.) |

| @FutoiOtaku I get what you're saying. I can't agree, but I follow. The art style almost turned me off from Monster when I first gave it a shot 15 years ago or so, but after just the first episode, I was so hooked, I couldn't stop watching & the style grew on me fast. There are definitely styles that still put me off, but I've found I'm really fond of varied styles, including this sort. To each their own, of course. Thanks for answering! |

| It's pretty damn good, but the ambiguous nature of how it wraps up is a little unsatisfying, but I guess heliocentrism would have simply lost otherwise. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| It's fine, really. Plays safe, the content does not require too much research, the story is okayish, the characters are mostly well written and the animation and music are kinda decent. Dialogue really stands out the most. |
