death note film 2008
You never know what he is planning on next, before it is too late.
There are plenty of other
amazing side-characters as well, such as Grimmer and Lunge. Grimmer in particular is a fan favorite, but I think it's best to experience his arc blind.
Story:
The story of Monster is very complex, with many branching paths that converge together in the end. This can be
hard to keep track of, but the
show will repeat information plenty of times to make sure the viewer doesn't fall too far behind. The show features lots of disturbing subject matter, such as brainwashing, race violence, domestic abuse, and kidnapping, which are used to present powerful ethical questions and implications. There isn't much to discuss here without getting into spoilers. Just keep in mind that this is a slow burner that will reward your patience.
Overall:
Monster is an epic thriller that takes takes its time. It presents us with powerful ethical dilemmas that challenge out moral thinking. It has perhaps one of the greatest antagonists in anime history.
As he passes through town, he
learns that the townspeople blame a group of
nomadic scholars known as the Speakers for Dracula's assault. He saves their Elder from a pair of corrupt priests, who brings him back to the Speakers' home. Trevor insists they leave the city for their own safety, but the Elder refuses, as his grandchild has gone missing after venturing into the catacombs below the city in search of the "sleeping soldier"; a legendary hero who they believe can defeat Dracula. Begrudgingly, Trevor agrees to retrieve the missing grandchild. 33"Labyrinth"Sam DeatsWarren EllisJuly 7, 2017 (2017-07-07) Exploring the catacombs, Trevor realizes that they have been unusually constructed and contain devices matching old family descriptions of devices within Dracula's castle.

It is possible to bypass the Law of Equivalent Exchange using a Philosopher's Stone, a red, enigmatic substance. Philosopher's Stones are used to create Homunculi, artificial humans of proud nature who are named after and embody the seven deadly sins; Homunculi have numerous superhuman abilities unique among each other, and look down upon all humanity. With the exception of one, they do not age and can only be killed via the destruction of their Philosopher's Stones. There are several cities throughout Amestris. The main setting is the capital of Central City (セントラルシティ, Sentoraru Shiti), along
with other military cities such as the northern city of Briggs (ブリッグズ, Burigguzu). Towns featured include Resembool (リゼンブール, Rizenbūru), the rural hometown of the Elrics; Liore (リオール, Riōru), a city tricked into following a cult; Rush Valley (ラッシュバレー, Rasshu Barē), a town that specializes in automail manufacturing; and Ishbal, a conservative-religion region that rejects alchemy and was destroyed in the Ishbalan Civil War instigated after a soldier shot an Ishbalan child. Outside of Amestris, there are few named countries, and none are seen in the main story. The main foreign country is Xing. Heavily reminiscent of China, Xing has a complex system of clans and emperors, as opposed to Amestris's government-controlled election of a Führer. It also has its own system of alchemy, called alkahestry (錬丹術, rentanjutsu), which is more medical and can be bi-located using kunai; in turn, it is implied that all countries have different forms of alchemy.
