Early in the series, both protagonists' bodies are taken over by creatures/species. The protagonists serve as bridges for both the humans and the creatures. They try to hide their secrets from the people that are most important to them. Both series do an excellent job of showing the new struggles for the protagonists, as they must adjust to their new lives. The protagonists receive big-time character development. From being weak and frustrated of the situation they're in, to becoming stronger, confident in their powers, and accepting what they really are. These series show what it's like for the human beings to be prey and hunted by stronger species. Both also question what it's like for these species, sometimes representing the show in their perspective, and whether they deserve to exist or not. Tokyo Ghoul deals with this concept more often and also better than Parasyte did. Tokyo Ghoul is more action based and shounen-like than Parasyte, as Parasyte deals with more thinking and is more philosophical-like. Both are great watches and very enjoyable and I highly recommend both.

Mushishi and Natsume Yuuchinjou are very good and enjoyable series. The protagonists of both series, Ginko and Natsume, deal with spiritual species that interact with humans, which are known as Mushi (Mushishi) and Ayakashi/Youkai (Natsume Yuuchinjou). Both Ginko and Natsume also deal with loneliness, but still use the gifts/powers they have to help others. They are episodic as well. Both characters accept these spirits as parts of their lives. Ginko before the beginning of the story's setting, and Natsume throughout the show. However, there are still some differences between the two. For almost every episode of Mushishi, Ginko is usually requested to help a character that has a "disease/illness". He tries to diagnose the problem, and the cause of the problem is always because of the Mushi, in whatever way possible. Ginko then gets rid of the Mushi, but will never kill them, unlike other mushishi. In Natsume Yuuchinjou, Natsume usually helps either a youkai or human with a problem they have, and with those problems, most of the time, he has to use his Yuuchinjou. Mushishi episodes almost always end in a depressing or non-happy way. In Natsume Yuuchinjou, the story of that episode always has a happy ending. Ginko and maybe just one or two other characters reappear throughout the show. In Natsume Yuuchinjou, there are plenty of characters that appear along the way, humans and youkai. There's more comedic scenes in Natsume Yuuchinjou than in Mushishi as well. In conclusion, both are very well-done series, and are very emotional. Natsume Yuuchinjou is very similar to Mushishi, but is less depressing and deals with more characters.

The protagonists of these series are given special powers that they use to try to change and rule the world. They deceive and kill other people to get to this goal and may seem like arrogant, narcissistic, jerks. There is strategic thinking and you never know what's gonna happen next. They are both admired or hated by the world through aliases. The second season of Code Geass is much better than the first and not as hollow and boring as Death Note's second season, which was the reason for its downfall, in my opinion. In both, there is a lot of serious talking and a lot of strategy and tactics used to get rid of the protagonist's enemies. But in Code Geass, there is more action and fighting (since it is an anime about war). So if you're a fan of action and suspense, Code Geass is the right anime for you.
