Review of Parasyte: The Maxim

Story Parasyte's greatest strength is the relationship between Shinichi and Migi. Migi is more than Shinichi's right hand, Migi has his own intelligence and personality. As such, it is a nice treat seeing how the two of them grow as characters throughout the series. The really intriguing thing is how the two of them shape the views of other, with both of them behaving startlingly similar to the other at different points. Soundtrack While it got off to a bit of a rocky start with its heavy use of dubstep-like music early on, Parasyte's soundtrack eventually grew on me and now I can't imagine ever forgetting thesongs in the series. From the excellent opening and ending themes to numerous pieces of background music, there was just so much for me to love about this show's music. It also helped that many of the songs perfectly set the tone for the scenes they played in. For instance, whenever the chanting from the song "Hypontik" would play, I knew something big was about to go down. But for my money, I think my favorite song on the show's soundtrack is the calming "Next to You" and "it's the right time"

Also, this is one of the very few anime that I've watched that I don't feel the need to go back and read the source material. Not because I don't think it'd be good, but because this is such a brilliant work that it left me with nothing more to be desired.
