| Okayish ending for a decent show. The plot was kinda all over the place, but it still managed to not be a trainwreck of a series. However, the last episodes were messy, especially the way they shoved in our face all of the show's thematics. The soundtrack was a weird case here, it took away from some scenes. Not a bad watch overall tho. 6/10 |
| I fucking slammed my keyboard when Migi said that he's gonna be gone forever. How can Shinichi forget him when they made so much memorable experiences together, the good and the bad. Uragami was surprising to see. I kinda forgot about him after that incident in the City Hall. He takes Murano hostage and talks about what Shinichi truly is. I really thought he couldn't save Murano. Migi somehow reached farther enough for Shinichi to catch her. Well done. Also, Murano looks prettier without her headband. She should stick to that appearance more often. A solid 9/10. I'm still thinking about considering it to be a Masterpiece. I am gonna miss this. It was fun and the drama was commendable even at that last scene. |
| wow i thought she died then, glad he saved her though. Gonna miss this show |
 |
| Started off very strong 9/10 for the first 18 or so episodes. Murano still stays one of the most boring characters that I've seen in recent times and honestly that's quite sad because if she was better developed it could have been much better. The main problem I had though was the later part of the story which didn't really answer any questions that I had been asking, such as "Where did the parasytes come from?" "Why did they decide to start blending in and changing their diet" "Weren't there a few parasytes that decided to go against the stream and decided to kill humans for fun and pleasure" "Why did Migi decide to not come out again?" It's basically like the Mangaka was planning to write something else about the Parasyte series but never got the time, at least that's how it felt to me. Overall 8.5 out of 10 , but I unfortunately can't give it half a point. Ill give it a 9/10 for now and maybe drop the score to a 8/10 after the hype ends, even though the hype is non-existent because the ending was anti-climactic. |
| so it looks like hating Parasyte is the new cool thing to do. zzz Well, I liked this as a finale, TBH. Shinichi's monologues through the episode added a layer of depth to the series, but the whole thing with the psycho killer was... unnecessary. I agree it would've been a more memorable ending if Murano died. Honestly, the show could've ended last episode and it would've been just as good of an ending, perhaps better. And Migi's eternal sleep is sad. ;-; gonna miss the hell out of this show in any case. It's rare for a show to have been as entertaining and thrilling as this one was. Not just anime of the year but one of the best anime I've watched, period. |

| It was faithful to manga in general ! 8/10 !! |
| Man...that was absolutely beautiful. I was probably a little generous in giving it a final 10, having rated it a solid 9 for the second half, but it was worth it. I'm so glad a friend recommended this show to me because it really motivated me to get back into anime; it isn't a stretch to say that Kiseijuu has had an impact on my life, albeit very small. |

| I was hoping Uragami would kill Murano, or that Migi would just let her fall but noooo, we just can't have nice things, huh. Although I do admit she looked better than she has for the rest of the season. Laughed at Migi seeing Shinichi's perception of him and going "huh?" I could vividly imagine the unsaid "am I truly this chubby little shrimp??" and when the little shrimp walked off to befriend Kana :D That was the highlight of the whole ep for me :) |

| Nice ending. It showed the evolution the character went through in an appropriate way. 7/10 |

| This article expands on what Shinichi said about environmental conservation: http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2013/04/22/an-earth-day-thought-save-the-earth-is-a-stupid-slogan/#axzz3VUkjqi4c But let’s quit kidding ourselves that our goal is to “save the Earth,” as the popular slogan goes. That’s not our goal. Rather, our goal is to keep this planet hospitable to us humans and to other plant and animal life. Earth doesn’t need saving. We do. The long passage from Jurassic Park included in the same article is very illuminating. An excerpt: Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. It might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. |

| The few episodes leading up to this were lacking, but this was a great finale. Murano finally confirmed that he is, in fact, the real Shinichi! :D |
| In the end Migi goes to a long journey of thinking while Shinichi carries on with his life. Also the last possible threat for his happiness, Uragami, is eliminated from the scenery. I'm also glad that Ando- said: Even though I wouldn't mind if she died, I'm fine with a happy ending.Murano finally confirmed that he is, in fact, the real Shinichi! :D Overall it was a very good series. I really enjoyed keeping up with it every week. 9.5/10 |
 |
| I forgot how preachy the ending was but that's because this was a fucking 80s manga and the idea was to offer ecological parallels to the real world. |
| Wow what a lame ending! So what, all parasites in the world were in that building, and killing Gatou made all the parasites dissapear? Migi going "to sleep" was so lame too. And that killer at the end? lol what was he mumbling about? And what about that girl he saved, she would be in hospital, in straitjacket, being treated to some kind of postdramatic trauma from all that monsters, and death she saw. But i guess she's as stupid as her friend, who went to try convince one parasite that killing is bad. lol interesting show at the beginning, so lame and without sense at the end. 5/10 |
| Pedo teacher and his student gets wrecked by uragami. Not sure, maybe he was with his secretary because of them big juggs. Uragami sprouting his idealogy. Migi going to sleep in Shinichi's body. Parasites slowly becoming same as humans. It ended just like soul eater, everything was solved with one punch. Gore for the sake of gore. Series 8/10 Ending 6/10 |

| DID THEY JUST LECTURE ME?!!! 1/10, I THINK FOR MYSELF THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :( joke, it was good, 9/10 |
 |
| Despite two close deaths, 3 actual deaths, and someone falling from what looks to be a very tall building I would still say this was a pretty happy ending. I didn't like it, I kinda wish they went into more detail about the parasytes (rather than Migi lucid dream morfit). |
| Just when I though this was gonna be a typical boring and quiet last episode, that was intense! It feels like it's been a long time since I saw a finale of an anime! especially a good one! Also, I felt for a while that Migi's character is developing, because he got in Shinichi's heart, and I'm glad that I was right! A 9/10 overall, I'm satisfied with the ending! |
| Wow, what a stupid way to end this. But without Migi as well? I'm holding myself back from giving this below 4. |
 |
| This should have been the last week ep, good ep. The ending is very open (all the parasytes in the world suddenly become good and blend in after they defeated gotou? Its to cute for me) and not all the questions answer but im very satisfied with the ending. I had a fun ride with this anime from the start till the end 8/10 would give a 9 but there some thing that really bug me especially the whole massage the human is more monster than the parasyte that got push hard. I believe this anime would be better if they dive more into the scfi horror like the movie the thing. |

| While I think that the ending was somewhat lackluster and unresolved, the run was cool and I liked it. Good thing to know that Migi is not totally gone. Also, based on how Shinichi saved Murano's fall at the end, it must mean that he's able to control Migi's shape-shifting cells while the other's psyche is "asleep". Meaning, he has control over the hand to some degree. And he still has his superhuman abilities too besides that (increased strength, reflexes, stamina, etc.), so he should be able to protect himself even if Migi isn't around anymore. Too bad the original author ended the manga like this though, it feels incomplete, like a second part that could've been never being realized. |
| The very definition of mediocre, solid 5/10 |
| it was at least decent but still feel like madhouse could have handled the series better. |
| I like the ending. Shinichi deserves a happy ending after all the crap he went through... And he even lost his best friend, Migi. They look like they've gained a little weight lol like late puberty or something AND WTH Satomi calling Shinichi by his last name bugs me so much KJNBELTKBMCS, CALL HIM BY HIS FIRST NAME DAMN anyway I think I 'll score it 8/10 and probably 7/10 later on lol EDIT: Also someone said that Murano was one of the worst female leaders ever... Srsly? We have lots and lots of even worse fmc like Saori, Erika or any heroine in otome games adaptations. |

| Well, that was... underwhelming, just like the manga readers said it would be. The speeches and moral values the episode tried to impose were good, but I would've prefered something more. My main problem with the anime is that it never explained what the hell parasites are, or where did they come from. Not even in the last episode was it mentioned, though Shinichi did imply they were born on Earth. I guess the source material is to blame for this, Madhouse overall adapted the series perfectly. My second problem is the last 2 episodes. The show was a solid 9.5 for me until ep.23 and 24. Both felt rushed (even though they weren't), underwhelming and anti-climactic. I realize that what the series was actually trying to focus on was one human and his small little world, but it's still very regrettable nothing big was touched on. Parasites around the world are apparently on a diet and learning to coexist peacefully with humans, which isn't bad, it's actually exactly what's best to happen instead of them being exterminated, but it didn't really feel like a solid conclusion. Overall, though, it's a very solid show, maybe even great. I liked the 22 episodes of it a lot, I liked the art, I loved the soundtrack and the characterization, and the enjoyment of it Parasyte was the highest of all the anime I'm following by far. Right now, I'm somewhat torn between scores, but I think I'll remain with this one. Final episode: 4/5 Overall score: 8.5/10 Yeah, I think I'll put it in as a 9 in my anime list, though it's not a fully great show, mainly because of those last episodes. Definitely going to miss it, and I'm pretty sure it'll be my highest rated of late 2014/early 2015 anime, unless Death Parade's last episode proves to be amazing. |

| 9/10 from me,if Satomi died then 10/10 |
  |
| Good Final ep was okay. Animation was, well, decent. Story was weak at some points. 6.5/10 |
| A true man never dies. |
| Good overall episode. Great ending, just what it needed xD Adapted quite well from the manga.. xD |
 |
| 5/5 finally. |
| So torn between an 8 or a 9... Like many others, I too would've liked to at least get a more clear answer as to where the parasites come from. On the other hand, it's implied that they're just another lifeform that came to be, just like many other parasitic life forms came to be way before humans even came into existence so it's less of a problem or not one at all if we think about it like that. Kiseijuu's story was mainly told through the perspective of one guy after all and it never intended to be that big in the 1st place and to that extent, it's done an excellent job. Shinichi's & Migi's development has been fantastic. Kiseijuu got it's theme across about humans who claim they want to "Savez da' Earth! being some of the most selfish and arrogant while not claiming it's a bad thing, but takes a stab at that notion anyway since a lot of people in that position would hardly admit to being selfish or arrogant. |
| Fantastic Adaptation. Beautiful Anime. Solid 10/10. We need more anime like this.. |
zabadoh said: Except Migi isn't a hero. The Murano rescue scene just distills what the characters have been doing all along: Migi is again only acting in his own self interest by rescuing Murano and keeping Shinichi emotionally healthy and therefore he keeps his own self healthy. Shinichi anthropomorphizes Migi's actions, i.e. imposes human motivations on Migi which aren't really there, and thinks that Migi has helped him because he likes him. Which he doesn't because the only thing that Migi "likes" is his own survival. "Shinichi... from our very first meeting, I'm glad I didn't steal your mind. Because of that, we could be friends. I'll remember... all the good times." "Thank you for everything, Shinichi." Did you miss Migi's whole evolution or? I mean, sure, maybe Migi DID save Murano for his own self-preservation but you can't say that Migi doesn't like Shinichi. The dude evolved just like how Tamura grew to care for her child. |

| The anime was GREAT in the beginning, i was always looking forward to every next episode, but unfortunately things went downhill after Kana's death (maybe the last great episode) and the show lost its appealing. Last episodes were very average. I liked the happy ending, but i didn't like how the anime ended. It seemed like the anime/manga was canceled half way through and the mangaka wrapped everything he could in time. Uragami being the "final obstacle" was too random. 7/10 because the first 13 or so episodes were amazing. |
I despise woke people. |

| This anime started out great. Don't think it lived up to it's potential. At least Murano looks a lot better now. Thought she actually looked pretty unattractive with her old hairstyle. Overall 8//10. Show went downhill after Reiko's death. |
 |
| Just 1 Word: Masterpiece! 10/10 |
| A life is a history with no end...it continues to be told by others endless. We do not own lives, we own histories! |
| Holy shit this is how you end a show better then fucking TG I though she died Then I though migi Then I don't even know jsut happy great ending great anime |
 |
| Would've been better if they didn't kill off Reiko so early which for me was the most interesting character of the show... Gotou was such a bland villain Still, this series is a strong 8 for me. |
| I don't need a signature. |
| Best anime. Not sure why migi went to an eternal sleep. I thought Murano died. Glad she didn't. And cute doggie :3 |
