  1. My first thoughts on Parasyte: The Maxim@trumpman1293d

    I was checking out Netflix today at work to see if there's anything decent enough to kill my time. Didn't find anything that peaked my interest other than an anime called "Parasyte: The Maxim".

    Did some googling first as I didn't want to start anything too long. I am too old and busy to watch an anime that's 500+ episodes 😳😅 Turns out parasyte is just one season long (25 eps) making it perfect for a quick binge watch.

    Here's a quick breakdown of the plot

    The 16-year-old Izumi Shinichi lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like aliens called Parasytes invade Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. source

    Parasyte is a Japanese science fiction horror manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki and published in Kodansha's Morning Open Zōkan and Monthly Afternoon magazine from 1988 to 1995. The manga was published in North America first by Tokyopop, then Del Rey, and finally Kodansha USA. The series follows Shinichi Izumi, a high school senior who is the victim of a failed attempt by a parasyte organism to take over his brain. Instead of burrowing into his brain, the parasyte landed in his hand and matured partially up his arm.source

    So far I am ten episodes in and I really love what I a seeing. I like the style of the animation, the fights, the gore, the voice acting and the occasional adult humor. Music is not exactly my taste but it's good enough. The story and the characters are also quite interesting and I can't wait to see how it concludes!

    So far I will give this one an 9/10. If you like scifi, aliens, gore and anime I think you will love it! I let ya know if my final thoughts in a couple days when I'll finish it!

  2. Parasyte: The Maxim - “You sacrifice other lives so that your own life can continue. That is how animals live. Humans are one-of-a-kind creatures that commit suicide.”@dedicatedguy2218d

    This is another amazing anime series from Japan. It only has 1 season with 24 episodes, each one lasting around 20 minutes. The story is super original, it is about a guy in high school who one night while he was sleeping, some kind of worm managed to introduce itself into his body through his arm.

    The worm starts to crawl from inside his arm towards his brain but he quickly stops it by applying pleasure in his upper arm and preventing it from continuing. This way, this strange worm got trapped in his arm. With nothing else to do, he goes back to sleep. The first surprise of this show happens the next day when this guy realizes he has a parasite controlling his hand!

    However, this is a special type of parasite. It is very smart, like if it had a brain on its own, and it can change forms very rapidly. The hand might look normal and the next second it has a weird looking specimen with eyes, mouth, and even some type of organic knives and swords that it uses to defend itself. It is really bizarre.

    As the season advances, we will naturally learn a lot about the nature of this parasite. There will be several interesting dialogues between the guy and the parasite throughout the entire season and the character development is almost perfect thanks to these dialogues.

    The series is very bloody, a lot of people are butchered and there are some crude scenes as well. Regarding its genres, I would they are action and drama because there were some very touching moments. The animation is well-done and the plot is something so weird, original and ultimately, cool.

    If you like animated series from Japan, this one should be one of the best ones. I enjoyed Attack on Titan more than this one, but Parasyte is well worth the watch.

    The best

    • There is a lot of great dialogue, even a bit philosophical but not as deep as those that can be found in Ghost in the Shell. Plus, the dialogue is usually accompanied by this song which makes for a perfect combination. Very enjoyable!
    • Very original and entertaining plot.

    The worst

    • The series doesn't explain the origins of the parasite's invasion.
    • The final episode has an unnecessary scene trying to add tension but I didn't see the point of it,
