just my personal feelings n reactions not a critical analysis!!

it was cute! i didn’t feel SUPER attached to the main characters’ dynamic. they’re both verrrry normal high school students with no outstanding merits or abilities. no sad deep backstories either. and their dynamic wasn’t anything worth screaming over for me haha. but like, it was cute! it was nice, it was relaxing, it was something wholesome and low-key to sit back and watch. it is verrrry slowwww……………….and honestly sasaki could have been more aggressive in pursuing miyano LOL. but ye respecting boundaries is cool nd good!!! and in the end they get together woo! i’m ... looking forward to s2 and seeing what it will be like now that they’re in a relationship. it’s a very wholesome relationship haha.

side charas were nice too! love that they had supportive friends, and their friends were all so sweet to their own girlfriends haha. would love to see more of the girl characters instead of just blank faces lol. i feel like they only wanted to focus on male characters and like…….why.

this anime was pretty cheesy/corny esp moments when the weird shapes would appear. but it’s ok, nothing offensive or wrong about some cheesiness.

I feel like they portrayed the feelings of first love pretty well!! The nervousness + excitement, butterflies, blushing, awkwardness, can't stop thinking about them. Albeit dramatized it is what it feels like to fall in love!

I’m not attached enough to this series to read the manga but I still want more content - so I’m really glad they’re making a second season! I’ll definitely watch it.

I watched this bc I wanted something horror, I wouldn't consider this horror though. But this review is for what it is, not as a horror anime

stuff i didnt like:
-lots of nonsensical logic. for example the girl suspecting a dude of being a man-eating creature and she’s just like oh i’ll confront him before confronting anyone else and ask him if he is a man-eating creature! like wtf……does she want to get killed?
-the mc’s girlfriend not having any reaction to him jumping down from a very high floor while carrying her and being fine, and then jumping over a really tall fence. also not seeming ... to remember or care about seeing a parasite slaughter everyone
-MANY characters seeming to not care about the parasites, especially MC’s classmates
-MC’s classmates acting in a ridiculous way when there were killer threats (laughing, chatting and not taking it seriously when the adults were OBVIOUSLY taking it seriously. wtf how is it realistic that none of them are scared!)
-that one girl classmate who LAUGHED and joked around while asking shinichi about when he was the first witness to come across his friend’s dead body. um???? not a laughing matter??? some characters’ attitudes in this anime make 0 sense and are not realistic
-treatment of women as only objects of MC’s affection. the MC had like what, 5 girls have a crush on him, most for no apparent reason and upon first seeing him (?????) these girls having no identity or merits for themselves and existing only to add to MC’s harem
-portrayal of the girl who could sense parasites - she was creepily obsessed with MC, tried to steal him from his gf, fucking kept a strand of his hair and wrapped his hair around her ring finger, was overall delusional and obsessed with a boy for no reason and i feel that the portrayal of her felt icky and sexist
-women in the anime in general seeming to be portrayed in a sexist male-gaze kind of way. sometimes portraye as being dumb as shit, like unbelievably dumb
-japanese government covering up the parasites and not giving correct news coverage and for what reason??
-not much talk about parasites throughout the rest of the world. it WAS happening throughout the world, and yet we se SOOOOO many cases around the vincity where shinichi lives and don’t get any info abt how it’s affecting other countries. if there were THAT many just in the area where shinichi lives there has got to be so many people who died in other areas, but it was totally downplayed
-characters not seeming to care much considering the amount of deaths that happened in their area in the short amount of time??? not seeming to take any precautions to stay inside or whatever
-wtf there are so many thugs in shinichi’s town who just wanna beat people up lol does he just live in the worst area in japan or??
-anime logic, so much anime logic…….so many battles being arbitrarily won when they should have been lost because the author can just issue deus ex machinas whenever he wants! migi coming back to life. the end scene when migi saved the mc’s girlfriend….uhh we didn’t even see how it happened and migi’s supposed to be asleep
-i am not 100% on what author’s philosophy was. but there was a lot when i was watching the show that i didn’t agree with
-”people don’t actually care about the environment they just care about the
environment to feel better about themselves” or something along those lines -
i don’t think that’s true. caring abt environment is usually bc people care about
animals, nature etc and feel a connection to those things
-when shinichi debated so long over whether to kill the parasite in the
end……..what????? that is not something worthy of debating that long over like???
it’s so obvious you should kill him. he fucking killed so many people and will
continue to kill more if you don’t kill him????? like wtf he is not on the “same level”
as normal humans
-all the talk about parasites being the same as humans…………….ehhhhhhh nah i
don’t really agree.

stuff i did like:
-migi slowly learning more humanity and growing to care about shinichi
-the scene where the parasite woman who had a baby died while protecting her baby. she had unwittingly developed feelings of maternal love towards her baby even though she was a parasite. the scene where she witnessed how the woman whose body she possessed’s mother could instantly recognize that she wasn’t really the mother’s daughter. ehhh motherhood and motherly love is such a prevalent trope in anime but this was still one of my favorite parts ig.
-the old detective dude was smart, we didn’t get to see that much of him tho!
-if that one tumblr analysis i read is correct…….and the show is about how what makes u human isn’t necessarily if ur a human and a parasite. it’s your values. for example migi developed the ability to care for another but that criminal at the end was so deranged that he could not be considered “human” at all. that’s a message i’d agree with ig!

this was not that good uhhhh MC was funny but it was so unrealistic and arbitrary that everyone fell in love with her. like 1 episode of arbitrary sad backstory of new character, MC comes around and becomes their friend and SAVES THEM and their life is 100% changed because this main character came into their life and had one touching scene with them, and they fall in love with MC because of this one scene and stay in love with her after years have passed. and MC is often mind-numbingly dumb (when she panics over the hametsu flags - not realizing that everyone has ... completely changed, and everyone’s relationships to her and each other are different than the original game) but sometimes she shows emotional intelligence (the scenes where she “saves” another character) - i get it’s comedy but the incongruency is still ????

-funny and entertaining in first few eps then it got old.

-would have liked this if it got deeper!! like deep into characters and relationships, like ouran </33 but alas this is not that kind of anime

-also ouran is a parody of its own genre that subverts its own genre by going deep into the characters and because the characters are much more than just the trope they embody. for this one i am not clear if it was supposed to be a parody of otome games or….not. maybe it’s a parody? but there’s no subverting going on.

-my favorite harem member is Alan, because tsundere and the original enemies to lovers pipeline is something i would have liked lol

6.5/10

literally the cutest

cute wangxian hours🥰

eps are only a few mins long. it's not much and u want more, but u at least get a little more cute wholesome content of mdzs

lan zhan is whipped. he's nicer than in the original imo, and wei wuxian is even more of a little rascal

other characters are cute too. (read: nhs jk). there's only like 1 ep of shijie and jzx.

they say this is where they "heal" the pain and angst of mzds but,,the pain still happens and charas who die still die,,they just don't show those parts :( they basically just show some isolated relaxed parts of ... mdzs. you'll see stuff where they're studying in gusu, lwj visits wwx in burial mounds, lwj gets drunk with zewu jun while mourning wwx's death, jin ling gets sick and wwx feeds him medicine with spicy chili peppers etc,,

at least wwx and jc's relationship doesn't seem as bad after the 16 years,,
