Sounds familiar but I haven't seen it. I may have to look into it when I have time.
By the way, your signature seems to be misspelled.

Yeah read the manga was awesome. Can't wait for the LA 20th century boys movie. All his work seems to be great.

Yeah, I watched it to the bitter end!! Quite a lot of eps and most of them are fillers but I kinda liked the slightly twisted ending ;-)

I think I watched the first 3-5 episodes or something as soon as they were out. But it was a major disappointment, I didn't like it at all.
Of course, that was a while ago now. I might give it a second chance some other time.

I mate of mine was looking for something to download to use up as much of his monthly quota as possible and I had heard about this and asked him to get it for me. I still haven't gotten around to his LAN place to get it yet. I downloaded episode one and it looked interesting.

As long as you either like thriller, detective stories, deep stories or deep characters and don't suffer from ADD you will love this series.
Definitly one of my favorites.

Call this a necrobump, but this anime doesn't get nearly enough attention that it deserves.
Many programs - anime or otherwise - have done the whole Nazi thing to death, however Monster brings something new to the table. It is never flashy and it is never exaggerating. Everything that happens in Monster is subtly brought to your attention, and gradually develops over the course of a couple of episodes, revealing more clues and facts, which are then gradually developed over a couple of episodes. It is this constant plot development, and quick resolution of certain scenarios, that make this anime stand out from the crowd. If you were to ask me, I think that anime - especially detective anime - that have very clear and distinct arcs are labored and lazy; this is far from the case.
At 74 episodes, it is very daunting to newcomers. However, I can guarantee that, in every single one of those 74 episodes, a new point is raised, questions are made, questions answered and the characters will develop as well. This is also where the anime shines; it's characters. In this anime, a wide range of characters are offered; each of which has their own special connection to the core of this anime. They are also very fleshed out and believable, so, even when they are only in the anime for a handful of episodes, they will be remembered throughout the whole series.
However, one aspect that might be lacking is the art and animation department. Whilst the animation style is typical Madhouse, it is also quite plain, and many side-characters - whom only you will see for a brief moment - don't look very nice on the eye. However, this animation is rooted in realism, so it only makes the anime scenario seem so much more believable. But, for an anime that's a dark as this one, the art style fitted the mood perfectly; it often took the backseat and let the story take much of the limelight, but still added it's shadowy tones to the anime.
Overall, I gave it a 10/10, and I don't give that lightly. The 74 episodes will breeze by, but it's brilliance, thought and daring won't do so. Once you experienced this symphony of anime, you may think about the sanctity, yet malevolence, of life itself.
