Monster was the suspense/thriller anime that took the community by storm during the mid-2000s. Adapted from the Naoki Urasawa mang of the same name, the story focused on a conflicted Dr. Tenma reuniting with a young boy he once saved years ago, only he has since become a conspiring, mass murderer. Tenma hunts the streets of Europe, looking for the boy and a means of finding peace or solace in his actions, all while evading police, who believe Tenma is the serial killer.In a world where some of the best thrillers in anime are quick-paced, supernatural or horror pieces, like Death Note or Another, it’s refreshing to find a series so content with the slow yet ever too intimate horrors of the human mind. And what better way to explore that existential horror than with the series’ leading villain, Johan Liebert? A genetic product and ill-nurtured heir of the fascist regime, he leads through the series a campaign of destruction in an effort to leave no one alive who’s ever met him. Across the series, a number of Johan Liebert quotes stand out, displaying a truly horrifying look inside a monstrous mind distorted by evil.Johan takes a very far step back here, as he observes the significance of human life from the furthest distance possible. As impersonal and distant as a privileged ruler is over an impoverished society, Johan is someone who outright looks away from the more intimate, personal, and emotional values of life. Looking as far back in the scope as he is, what is the value of any life within the seemingly endless expanse of the universe, an endless darkness filled with much larger things than a human being.
