Review of Parasyte: The Maxim
GENERAL - Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu also known as Parasyte -the maxim- follows Shinichi. At first seeming normal but then he changes once our other lead Migi takes him over. Migi is a Parasyte. These parasytes are taking over human bodies to blend in with the world and to be stronger as they themselves are not very storng unless they possess a humans body. By mistake Migi didn't take over his body correctly and thus merged together so they both can communicate with each other and this is where the storry of Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu kicks off. With this parastye human crossthey are forced into odd situations as they both of different goals. They are forced to work together since Migi failed to take over his body. The sotyr largely has a focus on trying to stop parasyte from killing them.
With Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu story it is paced in a very good way. Each episode feels like its getting more and more interesting. There are hardly times when the show slows down it just keeps up its speed and continues on and on.
CHARACTERS - The cast of Parastye -the maxim- is a interesting one. The way they handle the characters is also very well done. With this series it is nto very light there will be death so it brings more weight not knowing who will end up dying. If you get to attached to a character then you may regret ti because they might die. ANd the series does a great job of making you be interested and feel for these characters we meet.
So the duo of Migi and Shinichi is a interesting one. As sated they do not exactly have the same ideals but they grow a connection as they are forced into this situation.
SOUND - The soudn of Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu is amazing. It has so many soundtracks that are memorable. My favorite "Next to You" is one of the best soundtracks I have heard in an anime series
ART / ANIMATION - So Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu was done by MADHOUSE. So as such of course the animation will be amazing. It has great animation in the action scenes and its art style is fairly nice. The darker color choices are a perfect fit for the series and what it is trying to convey.
OVERALL - At first when i started this series I didn't think much of it. I watched 1 episode and then didn't continue it. Then i decided one day to go ahead and watch it all. And now I can say I don't regret it. It never gets dull and has a very interesting story. While some series might have some similar concepts to this Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu does a great job of doing its story within its episode count. It doesn't drag on by adding extra episodes of any sort no filler just a full complete story. I HIGHLY suggest watching this anime.
