A slow paced series with a nice build up and with psychopath makes you think what he does questions everything on his reasons on doing things. In this mind twisting tale of mystery the music in the series is fantastic and as u watch the dark secrets behind the tale of darkness lying ahead for the main hero. It's tale of a hero trying to find a man to stop from spreading darkness.

There are 74 episodes in this show. Was it required? No. After watching the first few episodes I was of the opinion that this may turn out to be the best anime ever and maybe there was a realistic chance that all the HYPE was real. With that in mind, I continued and somehow managed to watch episode 10 - 39 which focused on introducing new characters and give some background story to them. The pace had fallen drastically by then, the story became highly repetitive to the point that one could predict what was going to happen next, I thought of giving up since there were 30+ episodes to go, but then I read reviews where reviewers asked users to stay with the show, to have patience and continue because, in the end, it was all going to be worth it. Fast forward to episode 73, there is this perfect setup for an ending which may have made this show worth it. Imagine every important character of this show assembled in one small remote town. We had Dr. Tenma who was waiting to kill Johan, we had Johan himself with his plan of a perfect ending, there was Roberto the villain who does not die easy, there is Inspector Lunge from BKA, there is Nina, there is Grimmer and finally there is the mastermind, the devil himself who started it all Franz Bonaparte all of them at one place, on a rainy day making it for a perfect gloomy settings fit for a monster to unleash his evil plan. Yes, the setting was that good and then it happens, the beginning of the end, Johan gets shot.NO not by Tenma, not by Grimmer, not by Nina and NO not even by Bonaparte. Johan gets shot by the town alcoholic who had no story, no background, no connection to the story, nothing and he shoots the Monster. It was disappointing to the core, it was disgusting and unbelievable. What was the point, was that the masterstroke? Next, we see Johan in a life and death situation, he is in critical condition and it would have been impossible to save him unless an expert neurosurgeon like Dr. Tenma operated on Johan and saved him. Imagine that.Imagine a guy who spent all his life chasing the Monster, to kill him, to end him and to never let anyone else die at the hands of this evil Monster, imagine asking him to operate on this monster and save him. Seems like a joke, but it happens, Dr. Tenma ends up ultimately saving the monster. Yes, Dr. Tenma operates and saves Johan's life as he did many years back. What was the point of the whole story then? What was the point of the journey for Tenma? What changed? What did the story accomplish from Episode 1 till Episode 74? The Monster gets to live and he escapes from the hospital never to be found again. Was this the ending that many thought to be a Masterpiece? There was just no point for Dr. Tenma to begin his journey, should have just settled down with Ava and had kids instead. The entire series should have been 20 episodes maximum if this was how they were planning to end it.74 episodes are too much for this series. Usually, any good show stays with the audience for some time once it is over. Can't say that about this one though.

Disappointed the anime had many wrong turns i was expected a smart anime like death not but apparently i was wrong it was a very stupid anime there have been many mistakes and many chances to end the anime earlier by killing Johann the only reason i saw it till the end it was that something might change but the only thing i got is that i lost 1480 minutes from my life for a stupid anime that was supposed to be a smart one like D.N... Very disappointing... It is a very slow going and plot unveiling anime it has many side stories only for one big scene which isn't as big since u expect it... Its like i was watching an anime to describe smart persons to a stupid audience...
