I'll have to say if there's one show that made me happy that I came back to watching Toonami, It's Parasyte!

Seriously, Right from the first episode I was enjoying it so much so that I was re-watching it pretty often online before the second and third episode came along. I just loved seeing how Shinichi is handling this situation of having a parasite on his right hand and and later deciding to fight against these other parasites. Hell, I didn't even mind the dubstep soundtrack that other people were complaining about and the gore never marred my enjoyment like it did a few reviewers, then again I was able to watch Hellraiser and The Thing without any problems so I guess that helps. I will admit however that the dub has a few hiccups and a few of it's philosophical messages don't always work in my eyes, but I still find this to be an amazing anime that caps off on a really good and conclusive note.

In fact, It's likely gonna be one of my Top 30 if not my Top 20 favorite anime in my opinion. Now to wait until the entire series comes out on Blu-Ray so I can re-watch it all I want. But I guess I'll rewatch it at 3am until then.
