Sometimes I get really tired of thriller/action anime series and I just wanna relax watching something easy to comprehend without a lot of thinking. I thought, well, let's give a try to this anime, and I was not disappointed at all. Hell, it was so catchy, I finished whole anime in a few days.

The whole story is pretty simple - a company helps still young (let's admit, 27 is still pretty young age) people, who failed hard in their lives and gives them an opportunity to RElive it. Sounds plain but it is pretty amusing and entertaining. The way protagonist reacts and takes action, which ... changes him and the ones around completely, makes you think how precious and important are the time and actions you make.

Not very outstanding story will make you laugh, shed a tear and think about important things in life while taking simple but clever lessons from the anime and that is what makes it wonderful. The pretty art style will leave you with nice memories about this story.

I have never watched any sports anime before but I heard a lot about this particular anime and decided to give it a shot. I have nothing but my time to lose, so why the hell not? I am pretty good at that already.

After the first episode I was not impressed at all and dropped this anime because characters were very poor and plot was nothing but a big nuisance. Nothing made any sense, all I saw was some gay looking guys with poor, unoriginal personalities. But when I finally decided to get back to Free!, I finished it in a ... couple of days. Don't get me wrong, I still was not enjoying it that much, actually, I was just looking for some plot and common sense in this gay anime (I like yaoi, so maybe that gayish atmosphere kept me there).

I could not go with this anime just because of one particular character - Rin Matsuoka. I could not believe how anyone could be so stupid and arrogant to fuck up a nice friendship and it just had to take another innocent character to put everyone in their minds and give some common sense. That is the most unoriginal thing someone could come up with. I still don't understand why Rin had to do they way he did, though everthing was finally explained in some twisted logic (is logic a good word here?).

Though Free! has poor protagonists, the art is really nice and eye-catching. I really enjoyed animation and sound quality. I cannot say anything bad about it (muscles are really pretty nice, girls c;).

In overall, people who love sports anime will definitely love this one too but the ones who like philosophy, logic and fine reasoning won't be satisfied with plost and whole storyline at all.

I am very strict on choosing which anime series or movie should I watch next. I was doubtful about Parasyte (Kiseijuu) at first but it got me very surprisingly pleased. It came to be my favorite anime now and I enjoyed every single episode of it (sometimes with tears in my eyes).

At first I thought Parasyte will be one of Shounen/Action type of anime but I was completely wrong. It turned out to be psychological/philosophical/existential anime that really hit my whole perception of the world and it is the main cause why I liked it cause I often bring out philosophical ... questions to myself. You will utterly fall in love if you are one of that kind of person who likes to wander off about the depths of the universe.

The plot and the protagonist will pull you into the story right away. The storyline is amusing and entertaining and (of course) the cliffhangers will leave you hesitating if sacrifice your sleeptime or not. It got me with 'okay, one more episode' till very late time, so better prepare for a long watch.

Some characters will make you fall in love with them and some will be uninteresting though they are playing quite important role in the story. It's all up to you to decide.
The evolution of characters got me the most because that's one of the biggest things I loved about Parasyte - vibrant, changeable, always moving characters are appealing to me the most in any kind of shows/stories. I guess no one likes stagnant protagonists, right?

In overall, Parasyte series were really drawing in with its vibrant characters, great storyline, unpredictable plot twists and delightful art.
I hope anyone who watches it will have a great time as I did.
