The "511 Children's Home" was a laboratory of human nature in the GDR at that time, and the people who came out of it became monsters - superb killing techniques, insight into people's observation level, and cruel and ruthless crime plots. Tenma struggles between the roles of a doctor and an assassin, and suicide falls just short of success. The monster is growing up, struggling in John Libet's body, trying to destroy this world. A series of events unfolding interlockingly, successfully constructing a suspenseful world, which is fascinating.
What is the gray historical background behind the story? The GDR is a socialist regime supported by the former Soviet Union. Unlike China, because the GDR is at the forefront of the "Cold War", the former Soviet Union's control over it is particularly harsh. The brutal political struggle lasted for more than 40 years, and there were many tragedies and unjust cases, and the "511 Children's Home" was an orphan of political prisoners, fugitives and other parents, so it was carried out by the former GDR Ministry of the Interior (spy agency) as a dictatorship object. The cruel experiment can be imagined. After the reunification of Germany, the GDR destroyed all evidence against itself, but John Libet (the monster) was not destroyed, he survived.
What is the outcome of the story? John Libet disappeared and disappeared in the vast crowd. The monster is man - John Libet, the monster is made by politics - the GDR, the GDR is made by the Soviet Union - socialism, what is it that makes socialism? "Monster" did not discuss? Or is it reflected? - The monster of the heart.
In "Monster", there is a story of a monster: two monsters have no names, so they look for names from different directions, and one monster tells others: as long as you give me your name, I will make you stronger. If it succeeds, it will grow up in someone else's body, but in the end it will devour someone else. So been looking for a name. I dare not make political guesses, but is it as I said above?
This anime is not easy. All I can say is.
