I second this!!!

Though, I have to admit I, too, was quite the skeptic and I'm not a huge fan a sci-fi. I thought it flowed nicely and presents enough problems to keep me interested. The animation is fitting for it's genre BUT I don't see how there would be a censorship problem -- they don't show enough to be censored. It's mostly blacked out...(-_-) Oh well, it'll just have to be left to my imagination.


Mostly blacked out is exaggerated statement there buddy.
I didn't even see one of those black light I see from Terra formars or Tokyo ghoul.
An up close and personal look on Graphic content is one way to get the caught by the Censorship police.

As for Parasyte..The censoring are well done in a way to avoid Completely blacking out the scene while Still giving the same impression as if there was actually NO censoring at all.
Which is amazing Kudos to Madhouse for being creative to avoid censoring completely.

Walking on thin line.

BASED MADHOUSE DELIVERS AGAIN

no censors or shit

this is gonna be so epic, I'm gonna reread the manga. The changes were pretty good tbh.

Very good start. Nice ost. Haven't read the manga but glad I didn't seems this is a faithful adaption from what Ive seen. Surprised the mc has tried to cut off his hand more times.

My only complaint is that Shinichi looks like Peter Parker for some reason, whereas he is a fairly well-built dude in the manga. Everything else, however, was perfectly done. No censorship, faithful adaptation so far, which means that as long as it stays that way there is about a 90% chance that this is AOTS.

The scene where Shinichi stops the car with Migi was great.

They are trying to pass him as a wuss, was he even scared of bugs in the manga? I can't remember.

Wasn't a fan of the dubstep awkwardly inserted in a scene. Other than that I really have no complaints. Didn't really like Tokyo Ghoul, so it looks like this will be my horror show of the season if it keeps up.

I was also gonna complain about the accidental boob grab scene, but that may have been some hilarious foreshadowing of what was to come.

Aside from that dubstep song everything was near perfection. Seeing the parasytes animated is more disgusting than seeing them on panels. I love it.

I don't like the OST. I don't think it fits Parasite at all. Or at least it's not what I expected. I suppose I might get used to it. There was some other stuff that annoyed me but overall great start.

I don't remember the manga much, especially not the first chapters. I wonder how much was changed.

They seem to be doing a couple scenes out of order. I also don't remember the boob grabbing scene in the manga, but I don't mind that they included that.

I don't have a problem with any of it, though. I thought it was a great first ep.

This looks amazingly promising! Based OP and ED. The progression of events was very believable and realistic. It almost didn't "feel" like a supernatural anime. The MC is thinking things out in a logical way. He first worries if he's hallucinating, then turns to the Internet to see if others have been affected or what exactly is going on, and is then very careful in dealing with this unknown entity. BGM throughout the episode added to the atmosphere well. I'm really expecting great things from Madhouse here.

It's bloody, but not excessive. And the premise is incredibly interesting. I really like the parasite; it's a very logical creature, not mindlessly out to kill. It's more concerned with survival, and is more than willing to cooperate. Very interesting. The action and animation was fluid and pretty exciting, I hope they do some battles later on. Side characters are forgettable.

MC is pretty logical, and I like the way he reacted to the arm. Freaked out at first, then tried to research it, but now accepts it. The supernatural aspect doesn't feel out of place, it actually blends in quite naturally. The first episode really impressed me, looking forward to the rest of the series!

And does Madhouse have a contract with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or something? I was disappointed with the OP, what the heck was that (Autotune e.o). The ED is fine though.

EDIT: Except... reading the first two chapters of the manga, it's actually very different. Yes, some events and general plot is the same, but the MC is very different (personality-wise), scenes were out of order, and the overall feel is different. The anime is "modernized", if you will. So even if we can guess the general plot, it'll be fun to see what this series will offer us. (Also, it's not unnecessarily blood in the first place. No need for censorship.)

Awesome episode! Thank you MADHOUSE for an awesome first episode. Hoping it will continue for the rest of the series. Strangely enough, I liked the OST. Certainly odd but I loved it. And +1 for the uncensored content!

10/10 would watch again

will be looking forward to this each week if it continues like this despite it being tough to watch oh god that dog ;_;

I guess it's a good start for this kind of anime, but I have to say that I was kind of disgusted by the end. The main character doesn't seem to be too interesting. Perhaps it's not a title for me, I'm not against gore and violence in anime, but when it reaches such ridiculous heights I'm a bit put off. Will definitely give it a go though.

This show seems very promising. Looks like I was recommended the right exception anime to my sequel-only season :)

I really like the idea of how as Migi learns, it also affects Shinichi. That seems to be the case at least, as he's not too afraid of insects anymore, but maybe it's just 'cause no insect can be worse than a talking hand xD
Did anyone noticed the mother's arm and hand? It looks like she has burn scars. I wonder what happened.
