This show was absolutely amazing but I must warn you, The series is long and confusing. It starts out simple but the farther you go into it the more confused you will get. Don't get me wrong the show is a masterpiece but it is a dark, disturbing and confusing masterpiece that took me about a year to watch and another year to completely understand!
Story-
The story is great with more plot twists then you can count. I would even go far enough to say that it has the best story in the whole entire anime world! The story is a realistic psychological one and will
...
have you on the edge of your seat asking yourself time and time again what just happened. But the story is a very dark one and many viewers may be turned away by that but if you can deal with the dark tones then give the show a try.
Art-
The art for this show was outstanding, everyone had that realistic look to them which added to the beauty of the show. The details were intricate and at times I forgot that I was watching anime and began to look at the show as an actual TV show with human actors. Everything here is drawn very nicely even the characters who only show up for a few episodes.
Sound-
The sound was enjoyable and definately went along with the tone of this anime but I didn't like the intro or the two endings. They were all really bad and just made my ears hurt especially the second ending. That was just terrible and I have absolutely no idea why the creators of the show would pick such a vile song.
Character-
The character devolopment in this show is outstanding. Every single character in this show changes in a realistic and big way even the characters who only show up for one or two episodes.
Enjoyment- I loved almost every minute of this show. I loved the way all the episodes weaved together near the end. I loved the characters. I loved the pace of the show which was not too fast and not too slow and I even loved the filler episodes which were beautiful and well crafted masterpieces of there own. The only problem I had in with it was the length, It was abnormally long and at times I felt like it was never going to end. And when it finaly did end I spent an entire year trying to figure out what I just watched.
Overall- The show was amazing with few mistakes and the greatest storyline every created. Naoki Urasawa is a genius and hopefully creates another masterpiece like monster.
