Parasyte
| I was a huge fan of this show after the first few episodes. The concept was phenomenal, and it felt like it had potential to be a masterpiece. Episodes 10 and 12 really were amazing. But after that, it felt like an entirely different show. Things became wayyyyy too stretched out, and it felt like an entirely different show. Really feels like the author was more concerned about nailing the themes of "nature, humanity, and species coexisting on earth" rather than making a cohesive horror/thriller series. List of things the author seemingly forgets: - His fucking father? We dont see him for like last 5 episodes - Origin of parasytes - The baby? Most importantly though, he missed a HUGE chance to have the main character come forward to Murano, as well as his father about the truth. It would have been extremely interesting to see how those interactions went. But instead for some reason mommy parasyte gets more screen time than shinchi's parents, as well as lover |

| Disagree. I only found the last few episodes stretched. Other than that, everything was pretty good. Though I disliked how they didn't gave other characters who were also acquaintance with parasyte a nice closure. |

| tbh the show went downhill after the first episode |

Tbh, that's the reason it appealed to me. I seriously doubt I would've liked it as much as I did if it was another run of the mill horror. The themes you mentioned are the whole point of the show. |
NickCipolla said: horror is one of the worst genre of anime. 90% of the horror animes are not even scary i think the author did a great job by changing the horror aspect into more real life based thats what i found special about this show. Its your fault for expecting the same old shounen storyline from a seinen anime. It was a 10/10 for me. Which is incredible cause i rarely rate 10/10 for an anime.

| Agreed. First 9-10 episodes were good. But then it started to went downhill. 6.5/10 for me. It really felt boring in the end. |

| Parasyte never presented itself as a horror/thriller story. The show had direction only when it focused on its main themes and conflicts, which were presented sincerely in the beginning and the ending. The rest, for the most part, was unnecessary padding to stretch the story. Overall, there were some interesting questions and ideas, but the story was a failure due to lack of direction and insincerity. |
| For me it was the inconsistency and stupidity that lessened my enjoyment of this show (obvious spoilers ahead): 1. Throwing the dog to the trashed bin was so stupid that it doesn't make any sense. I know that they wanted to show us that the MC doesn't have emotions anymore, but even when looking logically at this situation, you really need to have a toddler's brain for not knowing that it will standout and get more negative attention. Besides, picking the corpse of the dog to bury it was also unnecessary and logically made no sense. Why to bother with it in the first place? 2. After showing the so called "no emotions", the MC still felt frustration (=emotion) from not having emotions like human anymore, and worried (=emotion) about his girlfriend, and cared (=emotion) about getting along with her. Of course there are more shit like this later on, but these 2 were the first that made me want to instantly lower my score for this show. |
| hard disagree. the second half was what made the show one of my favorites. 1. the father confronting would have been nice, but it wasn't a big enough deal to ruin the show or anything close to that. 2. at first I was annoyed about not getting the origin of parasytes too, but then I realized that, that was never the point. 3. what about the baby? it's human, and someone is probably taking care of him the show never forgot being a thriller, if anything it stayed just that, until the very last scene of the show. Parasyte is probably the best anime I have seen in terms of thriller from start to finish, nothing else other than maybe breaking bad has put me at the edge of my seat as much as parasyte did. also the themes of humanity and nature were there from the start, it's just that at the end it kind of spells it out, just to draw and overall conclusion. which yes it could have done that more tastefully than just saying what the message was, but, I mean, even with that obviousness there are still people who think the message of parasyte was shoe horned in. ignoring the fact that the entire story was built around it. also "more than human" is imo by far the best episode, so that's another reason for why I don't think the second half was worse. |
