こんにちわ みんなさん、レーシュ オーウェンです。おげんきですか。
Monster is another fantastic anime. It deals with just how akin to monsters humans can be, and how even by trying to do the right thing the worst of outcomes may occur. It can definitely be slow at times, but for the show to work the slow pacing is necessary. The main character Tenma Kenzo is incredibly related, admirable, and human as protagonists come. The animation is nothing to write home about but this is largely due to the time in which the anime was produced rather than any deficiency of the producers themselves. Once again I saw very similar improvements in my understanding of normal speech. I also started to see more and more -te form verbs in use and while I did not necessarily recognize the verbs themselves I was able to recognize the forms. Overall I would definitely recommend this anime, however it falls lower on my list of recommended shows than others.
Overall rating: 8.9/10
I also watched this anime and I loved it! I enjoyed its exploration of humanity and its many plot twists and turns. I liked that it didn't shy away from darker themes but also made sure to highlight the good parts of humanity as well. I watched it before I started studying Japanese, so maybe I'll rewatch it and see if I can see any outcomes of studying Japanese so far.
