One of the best anime in the history of Japan as a whole. Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu or the Parasyte : the Maxim, is one of the best anime that I have ever watched. 11 years before its release, the idea of ​​an anime that talks about parasites that came to plague the planet of humans, which it turns out were present on Earth later, as I remember. It is a very inspiring and genius idea, and the story of Shinichi with Magi and how a human befriends a parasite, this is a story with a new and interesting twist. The anime will immerse you in an atmosphereof horror and deep fear. I really felt like I was watching scenes from a horror movie, but in anime form.

To clarify, I mean the characters in this show.
There is a character in this show who has a different outlook than what you might see in other anime.
For example, Shinji is just a high school student living a normal life who ends up trying to invade a child and take over his head but fails.

This parasite will later become Shinji's second protagonist or best friend who will protect him from danger.

The chemistry between them is very strange but wonderful and exciting for me.

The second is Tomio Riko, who was a parasite and became the mother of a human child after she had a relationship with another parasite that possessed her, which was (Mr. A). Tomio Riko and her talk about parasites and her telling Shiteji not to bully parasites, as they are the last creatures that live alone or alone. His words and her protection of a child and her understanding of human calculations was something very impressive, suggesting that some parasites understood the way humans think and live.

And let's not forget the governor who was with Goto, he wasn't a parasite but he was in harmony with them, his talk about freedom and the human race was very inspiring and the fact that he wasn't a parasite with seeing how he spoke and acted was a shock of another kind.

In Goto's opinion, he was nothing but a monster without a conscious mind. The other parasites were more thoughtful about their lives, while Goto only thought about fighting.

And he watched Shinichi and said that he proved that no matter what happened, humans are still the invincible race, and as he said, he thought of fighting, not running away.

Plot and wisdom together:

What I saw in this anime that talks about parasites was amazing. The human thoughts and experiences that Shinji went through in her life was a very amazing lesson.
Shinji's chapter in the anime about the death of his mother who protected him from everything and we lost his humanity and feelings and the amount of horror he went through is not something a person can bear, it reminded me of Okaba the hero of the story of Steins Gate, the same suffering of the hero and the happy and open ending as well.

The production and art are all from Mad Hoss Studio (my favorite studio). The art fit the story and the fights were very smooth, the character expressions. The police scenes which are somewhat similar to the production method of (Death Note) were excellent, and not to forget the legendary OST which I will never forget in my life combined with the emotions and the opening and ending songs were very well done.

In the end it was kind of weird but I'm okay with it. It seems like an open ending but it reminds us that after hardship and hardship comes joy in the end. Meggy saying goodbye to Shinji was the saddest thing I felt so sad about twice because I watched it 4 or 5 years ago and I still remember it. It was in 2021 or 2022 I think. Or four. Anyway, twice even though I withdrew from it for six months, which is equivalent to half a year, but I came back and finished it in three days.

In the end, I advise anyone to follow it with all sincerity. Parasites is a great work that will never be repeated.

Over all 10/10 Masterpiece.
