The entire time I was watching Parasyte the Maxim all I could think of was Birdy the Mighty. Both series have this aspect of alien/mutants who wear the skins of human race. Both series in turn have the same element of monsters who eat humans. Both are pretty dark and action packed border lining that of a horror series. In the case of Birdy the Mighty, the main character who is a male has a brush in with death, by the main character female who is an alien warrior of sorts trying to hunt these monsters among men, in her mission she accidentally kills the boy having to fuse her consciousness and body with his. He wakes up thinking its all a dream until she makes herself known, with one twist she can take over his entire body. He of course has to balance normal everyday life in school and family while keeping her a secret. As they also battle insane mutant monsters. (just simply describing this is a lot like describing Parasyte the Maxim.) Both are amazing series that have captured the good, bad and ugly sides of human vs monster. Both are dark and horrific at times. Birdy the mighty was on of those "cartoons" my parents bought for me as child because they thought it was only a "cartoon". Incidentally it was scarier then most horror movies I had managed to sneak and watch as a child. Watching Parasyte the Maxim for me was like a blast from the past redone, remastered, and downright amazing. I haven't laughed, cried, and be genuinely so focused and made to feel uneased by a show in a really long time. I couldn't take my eyes of it. Highly recommend both.
