This anime is mixed by a lot of good and bad. The overall continious portray of him as a limitless devil was tiring and out of place as the story progressed. I mean, come on, you don't have to pass out after reacting with him for 2 minutes, or breath so heavily. But as the end neared we had some sort of idea of how he's like, it felt stupid being so scared of him at that point, like he is some supernatural, invincible demon.

Just finished it and it is weird for me to sum up my opinion.
In this current state of anti-hero, it can be inspiring to watch someone try his hardest to stay moral. As for the hero, Tenma, is one you root for entirely due to the injustice he face and his will to remain a saver rather than the destroyer. Uncovering his mystery is the show, but attempting to understand him fully feels impossible even after watching. Johan, the devil incarnate, as many have claimed is definitely one of the best villain in any media. As for the main trio, Anna is the weakest link as she have the same goal as Tenma, without the conflict. Side characters like Grimmer, Lunge, Eva, Dieter (making a kid not annoying is such a feat!), and many others made you "care" about their fight against the inner demons. What Monster excel in is writing morally gray, humans. The storytelling style also made it feel a bit old-fashioned, but I do find the overall direction to be good. Maybe I'm impatient, so it might be a better watching experience on rewatch. It can be frustrating when you want to see Tenma's quest to redemption and the mystery behind Johan's origin, only to find chunk of episodes that focus on mafia story. While this is part of why Monster is so unique and I really find the side characters intriguing, not all side quests are equally interesting. I think the part that stopped it from keeping me 100% hooked is the constant detour to introduced new characters. This show must have been revolutionary when it first came out, with all the twist and turn, but some elements can be predictable now for someone who Still, the storytelling requires patience as the revelations are slow-burn. The main conflict of the story, the moral dilemmas, the depths of complex characters, and even the I can't-wait-to-dig-deeper plot kept one invested throughout the journey. Personally, I find it to be an anime I respect more than love. Monster is a story that attempts to explore that moral playground. What makes a monster? Is it nature or nurture? How do you even separate one from a human being? He must now embark on a quest of pursuit to make amends for the havoc spread by the one he saved. Tenma saves the life of a criminal, his past comes back to haunt him-once again, he comes face to face with the monster he operated on. With no evidence to convict him, he is released and goes on to attain the position of hospital director. However, with the mysterious death of the director and two other doctors, Dr. Tenma-losing his social standing being one of them. Unfortunately, this choice leads to serious ramifications for Dr. Tenma stands his ground and chooses to perform surgery on the young boy Johan Liebert instead of the town's mayor. His fellow doctors, fiancée, and the hospital director applaud his accomplishment but because of the switch, a poor immigrant worker is dead, causing Dr. While preparing to perform surgery on someone, he gets a call from the hospital director telling him to switch patients and instead perform life-saving brain surgery on a famous performer. That is until one night, a seemingly small event changes Dr. Kenzou Tenma, an elite neurosurgeon recently engaged to his hospital director's daughter, is well on his way to ascending the hospital hierarchy.
