GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Alina I started watching this series hoping for something half decent, but got so much more. I first noticed how elaborate the dialogues are and how much they manage to convey emotions. It makes the viewer to empathize and understand the main character. Then I noticed how the plot itself is complex and full of twists and unexpected surprises. It was all so unexpected, yet so realistic. Eventually this series apparently has a philosophical meaning hidden within it which was revealed only towards the end; who really is the parasite? The monster? Personally I really liked seeing the debate on this matter. Who knows, maybe it'll make more people aware of what they're (we are) doing to earth and other living beings. The series has drama, thriller, action, mystery great plot and realistic characters. It explores deeply the human soul when showing decisions made out of fear, love, loss, friendship and many more emotions.

dgolcher This one started a bit like most anime, teenagers that find they are "the hero" by accident.But it evolved so fast to something much bigger than that. Most of the protagonists grow, mature they gain dimension an profundity.This anime doesn't pull any punches it plucks your heart's strings and it hits them HARD.Shinichi is an amazing protagonist as is Murano, the support cast the antagonists the detectives also play an important and relevant part in all of this but by far, beyond her small part in the story, my favourite character was Kana.Basilisk, afrosamurai, Shigurui, attack on titan, akame ga kill and berserk are amongst my all time favourites... but Parasyte is head and shoulders above the rest.

freys2 The plot of Parasyte is essentially a much more violent version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' Parasitic aliens (we assume, the audience never gets a definitive origin story) covertly arrive on earth and begin taking over human bodies and eating humans indiscriminately. They accomplish this by "eating" the humans' heads and replacing them with their own bodies. However, some humans manage to stop the parasites from taking over their brains. But as a result, the parasites eat and fuse with a different part of the body in order to survive. The Main Character, Izumi, is one of these people. The parasite was only able to take over his right arm.Because of his unlikely situation, Izumi ends up between a rock and a hard place. Since the only people who discover the parasites' existence are subsequently eaten, Izumi is the only living human who knows of their existence (at least in the beginning). However, Izumi's parasite, known as Migi (right), threatens to kill anyone who he attempts to inform. Nonetheless, the duo eventually grow to be allies as their number of mutual interests increase.I have only one complaint about this series, regarding its pace. In my opinion, the series "crescendos" too early. The most emotional events of the series take place in episodes 5 and 12 (out of 24: less than halfway through the series), rendering the remaining half of the series a little deadpan and slow-paced. If I had to quantify the difference, I'd say that the first half of the series is a 10 but the second half is a 7. But when compared to other horror series, 'Parasyte' is still rather amazing.Parasyte is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror series; but more than that, its very philosophically and emotionally stimulating. This series delves into the issue of the existence/purpose of altruism, which is left rather open-ended. I took the larger meaning to be that altruism, while pointless in-and-of-itself, is an unavoidable side effect of happiness, because comprehending happiness requires empathy. But every viewer will draw their own individual conclusions.

Aardbeitaart This anime is truly a masterpiece, I can't understand why it is so unknown. Perhaps it is because people expect it to be some sf-anime with over the top action scenes and cliché character 'development'.The concept is quite original: an unknown life form is starting to eat people all over the world. First they find a host and take over his brain, and then they use that host to feed and live.However, something goes wrong with our main character (Izumi): the parasite can't take over his brain and is forced to take his arm instead. Thus, Izumi retains his human consciousness but loses control of his right arm. His only option is to live in symbiosis with the parasite, the parasite as well needs his host to survive, and therefore has to defend a human.What we get next is a nearly flawless story, amazing character development, philosophical themes such as what it means to be human. All the while, the series manages to steer clear of typical plot devices, stereotypic human behaviour displayed and over the top action/emotional scenes. The story never feels forced as it is the case in many other anime.There is gore, (intelligent) action, there is love, friendship. But most importantly, all these themes are balanced which makes this anime dynamic.Nice soundtrack as well.For reference: other anime I find very good are Death Note, Steins; Gate, Code Geass (esp R2), Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Monster ...
