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.

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't really tie to anything, don't develop neither story nor characters. The dark and mature tone doesn't make up for the bad writing which leaves a bad aftertaste. The Monster definitely left an impression: unimpressive.

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.

Wasted my time watching this trash.
