Review of Parasyte: The Maxim

I'm genuinely amazed by this anime. It succeeded in getting me caught through the whole series and that is why I want to make my first review about this one: Parasyte (the maxim). Like all great anime, it's almost required to make your viewers like the story and characters as soon as possible. From the start some unconventional things happen and all these little things tie up within a short amount of episodes. Now, let's dive deeper into the reason as for why I give this anime a 10/10: 1) Story - 9 Even though this is fiction, it shows us how the world functions (both in thereand the real world). Everyone might be hiding something, violence appears out of nothing, death is near and when it happens most of the people and living creatures didn't expect it. No matter how hard you try, it's impossible to save everyone. Ethics and karma play a great part in here, and Parasyte does an amazing job trying to get its viewers to think and philosophize about life in general. A seriously large part of the humans these days doesn't think about what being preyed upon would mean. The series of events happen in a logical order. Let's move on:

2) Art - 9
Exactly what is needed. Detailed or simple, it does its job just fine. I've got nothing bad to say about this subject. Parasytes may look disgusting or ugly, but that's how it is, no use sugarcoating it.

3) Sound - 10
For real, Parasyte has some of the best OSTs lying around. I don't know many anime from which I love EVERY single OST, but this one definitely is among them. If Dubstep is your thing, you might give it a try. Even if it isn't, chances are high you're still going to like it anyway. The OP is a banger, other sounds are fitting seamlessly into it all.

4) Character - 10
This one truly deserves a 10. All characters do what they think is right, without exception. Character development happens smoothly, even though you might not like someone, certain events can cause you to reconsider what YOU thought was right and wrong. I can't simply explain it into words but on a deeper level it has grown on me. I wonder why I didn't watch this pearl earlier on...

5) Enjoyment - 10
It is an emotional roller coaster. You'll find yourself saddened at one time, something happens and you'll feel relieved but then another event happens and fear or anger or happiness might flow into you. I thoroughly enjoyed this series from the beginning to the end, and it never failed to keep my attention due to cliffhangers, humor and the search for your true self. As soon as an episode is over, you'll want another. And another.

TL;DR/Overall - 9.6/10
The art, sounds and story combined shift the tension to anything that happens at the moment.
If you liked the first episode, you're in for a treat.
