I started reading this a few days ago, good to know it will be adapted.

I had just about given up hope that this would ever happen. Great news! Hopefully they will do the manga justice.


My thoughts exactly (about Psyren). I feel that everything is possible now.

best news ever (at least regarding the anime)!!! wanted to see this one animated for a long time as i think paratsyte is one of the best horror manga ever created (actually made me feel for the alien body snatchers from outer space) - lets hope they don't water it down to the point of ruining it - might have been better as an ova..........

If you have been waiting then you have been very patient! The manga is quite old, good but almost a classic I'd say by now.


I read vols 1-2 over 7 years ago. I hope they keep it as weird, and gory as in the manga.

I started reading it in Tokyopop's Mixxzine in August 1997, the inaugural issue! Back then it took years to translate it from Japanese. People think it is slow now but it is much better than it was, not to mention all the mirror reversing again. I should really get the Japanese version now.

At this rate, you should probably be saying, "First Parasyte, then Pupa!"

Wow seriously? Never expected this manga to get an anime adaption. Hopefully there are not any serious delays though and they don't turn down the gore too much.

Gave the manga a try a few years back. Only read a few chapters but it was good. I was just too lazy to follow it through.

Surprised at this announcement. Didn't think they would make an anime adaptation after so long. I hope there won't be censoring.

after so many years it gets a anime and live-action?
they will have to make a new character design since the maga looked so bad , but the story was pretty good.
to the live-action i already guess it will be horrible since the fights looked kinda weird in it , and the 3d effects will probably make it look ugly as hell.

I'm curious what they're going to do with the art style. Modern anime has become kinda of moe with huge eyes, pointy chins and skinny necks so I don't know what what they're going to do with this and how anime fans will react to the art. I don't see them going Aku no Hana with it though.

I hope that Kiseijuu anime do it Madhouse, Production I.G or Artland.
