Review of Parasyte: The Maxim

Parasyte is a show that many consider underrated, and quite good. And it all honesty it’s….. Pretty amazing. It asks the viewer lots of questions that other media just feel scared to ask…. It has a great main character, a good plot, and a great soundtrack paired with amazing animation. It’s actually pretty close to being a 10 in most regards…. Shinichi’s journey and realization at the end of the show are amazing, no spoilers. The shows main message is amazing. It has many thrilling and tear jerking moments. I have very few problems with the show. Some episodes did feel useless in the grandscheme of things, especially after episode 12. However after diving a bit the show QUICKLY picked things up especially in the final arc, so don’t worry about that too much. Another problem I did have was the cast. Don’t get me wrong Shinichi is a solid 9/10 main character, I’m talking about the other cast members here. They’re not bad, they’re good, but I feel like if they were better this show could honestly be a 10. Overall, Parasyte is an amazing show with a powerful message and great main character. It’s thrilling and at times really sad and dark. If your looking for a quick and good watch that’s also a COMPLETE project, watch this. It’s worth the hype.
