In my opinion, it has great music, nice animation, and a lovely story. It's kind of like a loose interpretation of Phantom of The Opera. Also I think monster lovers would find it interesting. My favorite scene has to be where the monster sings for the first time and it shows some scenes from his point of view, ending with the female protag being kind to him and giving him a name.
Sailor Moon R: The Movie:
It's so beautifully animated, full of great fight scenes and transformations, the soundtrack is AMAZING, and it's just so earnest in the best way, it'll get you emotional about the power of love and friendship :') plus they basically made the male love interest of the most famous magical girl of all times bisexual, and had a cute little pink child point a gun at Sailor Moon. It's got everything.
again, i'm not guaranteeing the quality or likeability of any of these things. they are foundational for me, but they may not be to your taste. check for cws because i don't feel like listing them but i will make special note for things i find especially triggering for me personally.
