Review of Parasyte: The Maxim

TLDR: overrated and underwhelming anime. It's not terrible per se, it's just extremely uninteresting. Sadly this anime is very overrated, to a point I don't get why people were hyped at all. The best description for me is "underwhelming". Nothing is actually interesting past the first 2 episodes. Most fights in the second half involve characters you just met and have not attachment to, whatsoever. The most tensed episode is the last one... And it's just extra, unnecessary drama that brings nothing new to the story. The rest is either predictable, unnecessary or underwhelming. When a major death happens, the animation and direction makes it look like a sliceof life anime.
The fights themselves are the best part, but are still unoriginal.
