Monster is extremely good. If I had the time I'd watch it from beginning to end right now. It's some what slow, not quite as fast-paced as DN, but IMO, is definatly worth. Althogh the summary I gave a while ago was real bad. (I had only seen one episode and read a little off wiki)
Monster summary taken from Anime News Network: Kenzou Tenma, a Japanese brain surgeon in Germany, had it all: incredible skill at his work, a rich and beautiful fiancee, and a promising career at his hospital. However, after becoming disenchanted by hospital politics, he chose to save the life of a young boy who got shot in the head over the life of the mayor. As a result he lost the support of the hospital director, as well as his position in the hospital and his fiance. A short time later, the hospital director and the doctors that replaced him were murdered, and once again he was catapulted back onto the top. But as the chief suspect of the murders, Tenma did not get a easy life. As a matter of fact, it seems that the boy he saved was much more than he had appeared to be... Now to clear his name and to correct his past mistake, Tenma must get to the bottom of these and other murders, and investigate the truth of the Monster who is behind all of this.
It opens with a biblical passage that is meant to be a sign of the coming of the anti-chirst (like Napolean Bonaparte or Hitler, who were predicted anti-chirsts by Nostradamus). So you can guess what this "Monster" (the boy he saved of course) is. It's very good, kind of like DN, it's a murder mystery, horror, drama.
Phew, that got way off topic.
