Unlike many anime series where the Japanese sub is vastly preferred, Monster features an exceptional English dub. Produced by Viz Media, the voice cast delivers stellar performances that perfectly match the mature, cinematic tone of the series. Liam O'Brien gives a career-defining performance as Dr. Tenma, balancing deep empathy with growing desperation. Keith Silverstein voices Johan, bringing a chilling, calm serenity to one of anime’s greatest villains.
Monster is a critically acclaimed psychological thriller anime based on the manga by Naoki Urasawa. The story follows Dr. Kenzo Tenma, a brilliant Japanese surgeon living in Germany, whose life spirals into darkness after he chooses to save a young boy over a prominent politician. That boy, Johan Liebert, grows up to become a sociopathic serial killer. Tenma takes it upon himself to stop the monster he helped save.
