Parasyte's story is truly unique from start to finish, it pulls you in with the idea of its alien like creatures known as 'parasites' it explains to you everything you need to know in its first ep. and then slaps you on your butt gently and then you're good to go. It really explores human society and how its one fucked up society. The problems would probably include how the pacing can sometimes be, slow, we see something happen but in a way where the show needs half a damn episode to explain, get to the point already! Also it can suffer from its story can be a little dull, we get focused on one parasite in the beggining of the story, which isn't really that important and later on we get some dull things to get you hyped for bigger things to come which really does ruin the show's mood.
The characters are really well done. At first we have Izumi Shinichi, the main protagonist in this show, he seems like you're typical average student, but migi comes along and spices his life up (the second MC) and seeing how 2 different beings work together is pulled off well. We see how both grow as characters and slowly become badass. There's Murano, which many people hate, I liked her, she cared for Shinichi, she dosen't wanna see him go through bad things, she's there to help him with problems, in the manga she's way more of a bitch to how people talk about her, so no hate.
The Animation is pretty good for the most part, its solid and some techniques of censorship is done really well, it leaves your imagination and thats really the true gore of it. The music is decent, the OP is goddamn amazing and upbeat while the ED dosen't really fit the show, its nice yet seems more fitting to a Slice of Life than a horror. The OSTs are good even though they're dubstep, but are creative for some scenes. The voice acting is done well and deserves bonus points for realism.
The show is a blast to watch, with tense ass action scenes and scenes that really get you on the edge of your seat, No dialouge is useless and it takes no time to waste your time unlike as I said earlier where some dialouge does seem to drag on. There was one episode in particular that made me bored but besides these little technical problems, you'll find not very much boredom.

Parasyte stays true to its manga which is fucking 26 years old! Yes something that old can still be good. And as people say it 'Retro will always win'. Madhouse did a splendid job adapting and i give kootos to them and hope their future projects are as good as this, especially with a One Punch Man adaption on its way by themselves! Stop everything you're watching and watch this shit, you won't regret a single minute.
