In lieu of going on a four paragraph rant that kills two hours of time for me, I'm just gonna copy-and-paste from my juu 10 anime list:
Monster.
This anime. THIS ANIME. When I started Monster, I had this strange facination with it that I didn't upendo it, but refused to stop watching it. I thought that I should find it boring, but didn't for some reason. That reason came in a blonde haired, blue eyed, pretty boy package known as the embodiment of evil- I mean, hell on earth- I mean, Johan.
The story held its own and wasn't actually all that generic. It was an awesome story in all aspects, not just the cast. It seemed to have a bit of Death Note to it in that there was the blurred line of good and evil. On one hand, Tenma saved the life of a ten mwaka old boy. On the other hand, that boy grew up to slaughter hundreds of people. It isn't quite as complex in that aspect as Death Note, but it zaidi than makes up for it.
The onyesha doesn't have much in terms of true comedy. It has it's light hearted moments, but nothing that really comes in comedic form. This, along with the gloomy settings and dark plot, can make for a bit of a downer. Then again, it's a onyesha called Monster for Pete's sake. Not exactly butterflies and rainbows. Still, the drama and the maturity in terms of making wewe think is incredible.
