I like this animation so much, I want to say some nonsense...

To some extent, Tianma indirectly caused the breakdown of the Turkish workers' family, and he realized it.

The death of the Turkish worker, the anger and resentment of this mother may infect the children next to her, and intergenerational hatred is so easy to form, just like the protagonist Johanna and her sisters.

But Tianma realized the equality of life in time. He saved John, which was equivalent to saving a demon, but it echoed the ending. In Tianma's eyes, life has always been equal.

But at the end, John's questioning in Tianma's dream brought the question back to the ethical level. Mom kept John because she didn't know who was the younger sister? If you can answer this question, then you're just jumping into the author's trap.

There are also some of the mysteries about the development of John and John's suicide that are not explained very clearly, so some details are confusing and some unfinished, but the overall masterpiece is that.

Last but not least, I really like Ava and Grema so much. If Tianma is an angel, he can make the most correct judgment in an instant. The transformation of Tianma is in one episode, and their growth and changes throughout the whole or even half of the episodes, which are the most and most of this work. delicate place.

    9/10. The cross-perspective narrative and the theme are integrated. John symbolizes the inevitable human disaster, whether he seduces a middle-aged detective who shoots a juvenile offender with alcohol, or fills the murder scene with pictures of the murderer's mother to induce murder, and is good at deceiving people. Monsters are all living beings. The epitome of evil in all human nature; Nina's secret protected by John and the picture book written by the owner of Rose House represent the helplessness and escape of evil, and Tianma incarnates an awakened conscience to fight against evil. Lines add a sudden revelation to the climax, helping the people in the story prove that their own existence comes from the needs of others (such as veterans and little girls, babies falling into the false company of prostitutes before they die), and John confronting Sophie's choices because of his mother , who can't recognize Yumei and women's clothing, can't establish the concept of his own existence (calling the orphan who follows him to go to the red light district to find his mother, to experience the despair of being unneeded by others), the pursuit of fear to break through the limitations of human beings and move closer to the divine. The pursuit of attracting children to play the dangerous game of standing on the high platform, John disappears from the hospital bed at the end, whether it is the end of sin or a hint that something bigger is about to happen.

    I didn't think about tea and rice for three days in a row, dreaming and dreaming. After killing countless brain cells, I still kept thinking. When I didn't watch it, I thought the name of the monster was too simple. After reading it, I thought it was a perfect match. Political metaphor, psychological exploration, The development of the story, the hints of details, the progressive level, the balance of the axis, every detail is very elegant, from the animation, you can feel that the original work is extremely sturdy, except for the ending a few episodes that are a little unstable and hasty, the overall: masterpiece + masterpiece

Monster quotes

  • Fritz Verdeman: Can I believe in you? Everything you told me... What you're trying to do... I can't do anything for you right now, but... can I believe in you, Dr. Tenma?

    Kenzou Tenma: [indicates his gun] You shouldn't trust people who wave things like this around too much.

  • Jan Suk: Is there something you want to say?

    Fritz Verdeman: I'm saying that your questions stick too much to the manual. So, what have we learned so far? You're just like a kid these days. You probably hit on women using a manual.

    Jan Suk: You look just like a father. I don't have a father, but I'd never want a parent like you.
