Review of Parasyte: The Maxim

A fun thriller anime where a guy becomes more emotionless as the parasyte genes takes over him. At first I was surprised at the use of dubstep music for the fight scenes but I honestly kinda vibe with it. I like the bond that grew between Shinichi and Mugi and the show has nice themes about humanity of the values of life and being top of the food chain. The whole bit with Kana is a bit weird as she stalks Shinichi because she can sense an aura from him so he's somehow her ideal partner which I mean ok I guess, I don't reallyknow the whole point of it but at least they didn't drag it out which is honestly what I'm expecting but her character still could've developed more. The conflict with Mirano is a bit repetitive as she just keeps suspecting him and says "you're Shinichi Izumi aren't you?" nearly every episode she's in and it could get a little tiring but it has a nice enough conclusion to it. Also I felt like they forgot about the whole hair pull thing after it got introduced to the story as a way to differentiate between human and parasyte as a lot of the conflict could be resolved if they just ask the group of people to pull their out hair like when they are trying to find Ryouka Tamiya or when they holding the building hostage so it is a bit weird how the author just never brought it up again. With that said it is still a pretty solid anime.
