Amazing! Flawless animation and great music. I especially like Haruka Nanase's voice actor voicing Shinichi.

Very good start and very good rating already. I'm hoping for this to be the best in the season.
I was not expecting those first seconds...quite an impact.
Migi is weirdly cute and I already like him. xD

This anime is definitely right up my alley! No censorship, great animation (that's to be expected in most EP1s, but it's Madhouse so...) liking the OST so far too. Plus it will be 2-cours? Hyped!

THANK YOU BASED MADHOUSE! :)

Op and Ed were good, full metal/rock then mellow balled.

The paraytes don't feel empathy? a doomed species :(

Madhouse delivers yet again with another nice adaptation (although this is only the 1st episode), with yet again brilliant animation.
I think my only complain was with Migi's voice. I always imagined it to have a more serious (male ish) voice.

The voice of the Parasite reminds me of Ojama-Yellow but I don't want to think further of this


The parasite is cute. Shinichi is cute. The girls are cute. THAT OST DAMN *-----* It's so good and I really like the opening too

Gore is good. Realistic amount of blood (or more realistic idk) and the parasites look gross when transforming (if the eyes weren't so darn adorable).

Amazing adaptation by Madhouse otherwise, the new character art is really a big plus as well. I remember I hated Murano on the early (20ish) chapters until her art got improved, heh.

Well done Madhouse, everything was great. I love the gore theme of this anime (That's why I wanna watch this)
Awesome OP and I really like the ED. I don't like the dubstep OST because it doesn't go with the theme, but I guess it sounds more awesome listening to dubstep on fighting scenes.
Hirano Aya did a great job of voicing Migi. Shimazaki's nerdy type voice matches the character of Shinichi.
Really great episode. I wanna watch more, can't wait till next week.

Read the manga recently, this will be a tough anime to watch.

Pros:
Good animation for the fights.
Designs are mostly ok.

Undecided:
Rearranging the order of events.

Cons:
Moving the setting to the modern age was unneeded.
The entire OST + OP + ED is unfitting. I expected something akin to Monster.
CGI...
The boob grab...

I need a lot more time to get a good opinion on this.

Surprised to see Aya Hirano voicing 'it'.

Anyways, this show looks amazing so far but I've never been really good with this kind of gore and such, this show will either desensitize me towards it or be too much for me.

I can sort of see what they were thinking when they put that in since in the manga he touches someone awkwardly too, however by today's standards it wouldn't lead to him being called a pervert at all so they changed it to a boob grab... Still.. wish they were at least more original with it. Make his hand move up and down her side or something, not the boob grab trope... Still it makes sense since Migi just wanted to study the anatomy of humans (Hence why he was looking it up in class) so I excuse it... Though won't praise it.

Damn that was an awesome first episode. This is looking to be one of the best anime of the year. We got Parasyte and FS/N both airing at the same time, this month is going to be awesome.

Also I really freaking want the OST that was playing on the preview at the end of the episode.

Best Fall 14' episode I've seen so far besides FSN ep 0..

Music and the creepy atmosphere mixed into daily life is really well done. Along with the mystery of what those alien things are and our MC having to come to terms with it. Lets see if the anime can keep up the good work.

I agree. I think the only reason it seems bad to us is because it's so overused is all. It's a minor gripe, nothing show breaking. lol

I've read the manga a year or two ago and I really loved it because of the overall theme of coexistence of humans and another intelligent species. I was glad to see in the opening Shin without his glasses that he didn't wear in the manga, we also see his more manly hair style.

But if I recall correctly, they've changed the order of events right? This is nothing new for anime adoptions, even MAL's number one anime FMAB had a filler episode as first ep.
I really hope though they won't skip the content of the very first chapter; certain very interesting question about mankind which made me love this manga in the first place.

... That was disturbing...... I don't know what else to say. It was amazing, but disgusting. I think the dog is what pushed it over the edge for me.

I always thought I'd prefer no censors, but hmm..... Maybe some censoring is good sometimes.

Still a solid 9-10/10. Really impressed.

I found it disturbing but the presentation was kinda stupid to me. It seems I'm the only one here :S

In either case, the animation was amazing and the "horror" parts were great as well. Surely one of the things I'll pick this season.

It's MAL we're talking about... They would even try to find the pavement design an excuse to gripe, heck they would even call it a harem just because it has female characters in.

one scene is not enough to ruin a show unless your some kind of person who just likes hating on things

it's just that there overused like you said nothing to big.

This doesn't even feel like the manga, the overall tone was completely changed, although the series does tend to get a bit darker since the beginning starts off a bit as a comedy then slowly progresses into something really dark as they introduce more characters and present the theme the manga was throwing. I hope they don't change other things that may hurt the realism the manga had.

Probably my favorite opening of this season and the art/animation is really good. I held off on the manga specifically because when I wanted to get into it I heard there was this adaptation coming. I'll probably go back and read it, but so far it looks like I was right to place my trust in Madhouse. A lot of good looking series this season

Interestingly enough, I read the corresponding chapters, and it wasn't a boob or even ass...........it was her shoulder. It's an older manga, so maybe japan was a little more conservative during the 90s, but I'm assuming that it was changed into a boob so it actually made sense when she got offended.
