Wow, that's what Murano looks like in the second half?

Damn she is not as bad looking as I thought she was in the first 8 episodes I watched.

So many plotholes left unanswered. Too bad Madhouse didn't add some anime original scenes for explanation.

Until episode 12 it was a sold 8/10 but everything was disappointing as fuck after it.

6/10

The manga is still better.

Manga was like that as well.

TBH Parasyte Manga is overrated.

Shouldve done an anime original ending like Death Note.

Great series overall except a few parts in the second half.

I hope more older manga gets adaptations in the future. Might consider BDs although I heard sales aren't very good.

I liked the ending, could have been better but I found it satisfying. I'm glad Shinichi got a happy ending at least, from all the shit he's been through he deserves it.

It was a good anime overall, I enjoyed.

But it was a little nonsense that guy attacking them in the end... IMO.
It came out of nowhere...

Meeting Uragami again... that was quite the ending though.

To be able to control ourselves is as much human (not referring to the society's image of human) than to let our desires become reality. To control ourselves is a desire in itself.

That was quite the tense situation with Uragami holding a knife. I really liked how Shinichi has changed throughout the series and now came to his own conclusion. Migi being something like a guardian angel for Shinichi.

Murano gathering her courage like that really showed her love for Shinichi and the beliefs she values! Glad everything turned out nicely for Shinichi at the end. A 9/10 as this was simply really enjoyable.

I don't get why people hated this ending but it wasn't anything great either...I still liked it though

Overall this was a good series but there are a good amount of important things that never got answered such as where the parasytes came from and why did they come to earth etc

Animation and Music were great for the most part and in terms of character development it was good for some persons (Namely Reiko, Migi/Shinichi and Gotou) but the others felt lackluster or didn't get enough development

8/10

Murano shouldve died, then Shinichi shouldbe gone insane then he kills himself.

A tragic ending wouldve fit the series.

What a way to end a monstrous Anime? It's just like a criminal final scene.
But oh well, It's still not explained (confirmed) why those "Parasytes" was created.
Anyway I'll rate this Anime a 9 (or 10) score overall.

This finale is essentially "hey you didn't get the themes we've been alluding to/outright stating? Well here you go!"

Not a good thing if you ask me. 6/10

Enjoyable ride. The show never really had a plot so to speak though. And most of the human characters were terrible (thank God Migi, Shinichi, Gotou and Ryuko made up for that). The themes it evoked from the beginning weren't handled as well as I thought they would've. Many questions were left unanswered especially those surrounding the parasytes (like their origin, seemed like a really necessary detail that was left in the blue) and of course Kana whose point in the show is still obsure to me. The soundtrack and pacing was top notch so plus +1 for Madhouse but the art and animation could've been much better in the second half so -1 (I hope they do better than that with OPM). I'd say the first half was better than the second. Although this show wasn't that great, it definitely looks like something that will have high rewatch value for me, I don't know it's just so relatable and relaxing lol.

8/10.

PS Murano is definitely much hotter in the second half.

Anime title (Parasyte -The Maxim-) is a bit different from its manga title, it pointed out an important point that the original manga wanted to tell, i know anime (and manga as well) had many unanswered questions, but i prepared my mindset from the start, because in kind of series like this one, you should better try to know what the mangaka wanted to tell instead trying to find something that'll never be revealed.

//this anime is a pretty faithful adaptation, it's better than original manga in some aspects. 8/10.

People either love or hate this ending. I get the people who wanted to know about why parasytes even existed, i also noticed that there was no explanation, but useless inner monologues (we already did that last week, didn't we, why repeating this?)

It was however very tense, they did this better than the manga. I had it at a close 10, but the episodes after Tamura Reiko's death were really not that enjoyable, so imma leave it at a 9/10.

Good ep I guess. Sucks that Migi will be "sleeping" pretty much 4ever :/

Really didn't realize Migi views the world differently. His reaction to seeing how Shinichi sees him was interesting :3 I wonder how he sees himself and the world?

Shinichi's monologue about humanity was nice. Uragami stuff were okay I guess.

Anyway 8.5/10 for me. But DAMN! Satomi is friggin hot now. If only she didn't have that stupid forelock tie throughout the series <_< She was really cute this ep.

Thats was such a stupid ending imo.

Overall good series. I felt like this was a dope series up in till after Renko died. For some reason it felt like it didn't know what it really wanted to do from there. This ending was so unnecessary. I mean theycould have just ended with them dealing with the after math of the Parasites. I Still enjoyed the series just thought it could have been a little better in the second half.

7/10.

Great and sweet ending. From someone that loved the ending, I hate those manga readers who were saying since episode 1 that the ending was bad. Such buzzkills. Let us watch and decide for ourselves. Not everyone feels the same way.

Wait a minute. A thought just occured to me.

Uragami escaped months if not years after the incident at the police station. Considering how high tech the police's technology is, how did Uragami survive that long without getting noticed/captured by the cops?

It was a nice ending, though a bit lackluster pretty much like the whole of the second half.

Murano looks much better with her hair down.

This show had great potential, could have been amazing, but somehow lost steam in the second half.

Overall, a solid 7/10, nothing less, nothing more.
