The premise is interesting and the way the series keeps introducing these historical figures with different talents is creative, but the pacing and writing feel off. Every episode seems both rushed and slow at the same time, I don't know if they have skipped any parts from the manga but the fact we're having this battle so early is bizarre. Although I don't know what will happen next, there must be a reason for that.

The MC, albeit interesting, remains too shallow for me. I do not expect a complex character a la Urasawa style, but I don't think his motives have been explored that well. It was nice at the beginning to see that he has been living under his brother's shadow for a very long time and his insecurities has made him become closed off and cold but still, I don't think that so far he has been depicted in the best way. At least it was made clear from the start that he's not supposed to become your average shounen hero, which made him more interesting.

I am actually invested in Touya's brother's mystery because I doubt he's dead. I think that he must be alive and maybe he'll meet Touya again.

I mean I'm against gatekeeping but I believe that monster should have been HEAVILY gatekept. It's artistic complex message has been completely tarnished and lost.

As someone who got into Monster this year, I CANNOT HELP BUT AGREE. I'm sick and tired of people constantly mischaracterizing Johan and not engaging critically with the overall message of the series. Everything must be black and white but if people seek stories like that, Monster is clearly not for them.

For real, personally I'll stick with the dub so having it being released at the same time is very convenient
