The first poster four:
But any day, the fate of Dr. Tenma is sealed. Arrives at hospital child with a gunshot wound to the head, with his sister in shock. This is Johan liebheart . Tenma is preparing for the operation, but just before a problem arises: the mayor of Dusseldorf has suffered a stroke and should be operated. With this new news, the hospital director ordered to Tenma operate the mayor instead of the child.
But Tenma knows that he will live only that he decided to operate ... and save the child ...
Nine years later, the horror begins, murders and the nightmare ... because Dr. Tenma maybe not made the right decision. This
approach is the Monster , manga Naoki Urasawa, and its anime adaptation, I want to comment today.
Urasawa is now the most popular mangaka in Japan. Several times winner of Osamu Tezuka (known as "the God of Manga"), there are people who already come to compare with him. Has to his credit numerous works, among which this Monster, and 20th Century Boys (I promise this blog will have entries in soon.) Usarawa works stand out for their maturity he writes stories of intrigue and suspense, complex and elaborate arguments able to keep glued to the seat to anyone.
The Monster anime, set in the genre seinen (adult), is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. Throughout its 74 episodes will draw the adventures of Dr. Tenma chasing the monster that he saved as a child. I stand with many things in this anime, (I can not categorize me as pulse shake the best of all time ), but if we want to emphasize something, that would be the masters of Urasawa to create characters.
s The character actors are exceptional. Some charismatic, some hideous, others cold and calculating (as Inspector Lunge, who continue to tirelessly Tenma, blamed for the murder of Johan), other hard and bloody, endearing in his quest for redemption ... but all equipped with very great depth . And that's not all, because throughout the series features hundreds of side, so well drawn, with a few personalities and motivations are as great, it would not be excessive to say that each of them deserves a own series.
The Plot is another point in favor of Monster. Psychological thriller is a very deep and complex, in which little by little, while chasing Tenma Johan, while compiling tracks going, we viewers, go deeper and deeper into the mind of the monster . We know. Comprenderle.Con tried thousands of plot twists planned to millimeter, Usarawa built with small pieces that huge puzzle that is the series.
And that's what's great that everything fits here. All things are there for a reason. Every track, every character, every dialogue and every nuance has something to contribute . It's like a Swiss clockwork, constantly in-crescendo. Each episode is better than the last, it has ups and downs. Back in episode 4, I doubted that would support the level, so imagine what it is to see 74 ...
And as a last comment, in any movie, book or series that price, you need a villain. Do not tell Johan liebheart more than the best, the baddest, the coldest, the smartest, the most hypnotic and the most charismatic villain I've ever seen in any audiovisual work, of any gender, age or nationality.
The ultiam recoemndación is that if you go to watch the series you are filming them in their original version with subtitles, as the doblaeje leaves much to be desired, I have seen so and it is very good.
