One such important parasyte is that of Ryouko Tamiya. But as the anime progresses and these questions become much more prevalent, the actions of the parasytes begin to resemble that of humans. The parasytes at first seem to be unorganized and act no better than a wild animal devouring its prey.

Humans are beings full of emotions and intricate values, with their own personalities and views. To some degree the logic cannot be argued as humans put a low value on a pig’s life for example, but at the same time the value of human life is considerably more important by a human’s standard. All throughout the anime the morality of humans being nothing more than livestock and nourishment for the parasytes is put into question. As I stated previously this anime asks two questions. This anime shines in its ability to confuse and create empathy in the viewer for both the humans and the parasytes. More importantly, Shinichi often uses his human strength to fight while Migi serves as defense and strategist. Shinichi and Migi both know who they can take on and when to run away. The fight scenes were good in the sense that the main character doesn’t win every fight and there isn’t a magical power-up to save him in dire situations. I found nothing outstanding about the OP or ED, typical rock and ballad intro’s and outros that you’ve heard many times over if you’re a regular anime viewer. There are times when interesting and new pieces are introduced for key scenes, which is welcomed. The OST in this anime is somewhat generic and monotonous. Perhaps the character and parasyte designs are the only visual aspects to admire but not much more than that. The art is average, there is nothing outstanding about it. Is he an ally of humanity or is he just fulfilling his own selfish desires to prove he’s human?
His demeanor, his thought processes, his emotions, all come into question. From that point forward he embraces Migi (which means Right Hand in Japanese btw), the parayste living in his right hand.

As expected when this type of archetype is set up, something terrible happens to him early on in the series that causes his behavior to change, though, unlike most anime where the behavioral change is minimal, the change in Shinichi is much more noticeable, to the point you ask whether he really is human or not despite preaching human morals and empathy. His character fits in well with this generation of anime’s main character archetypes. Migi has to save him during messy situations. Shinichi is just a typical awkward high school student with high morals and little to no courage to add to his character. Shocked by this Shinichi struggles with himself on whether he should co-exist with this life form or remove it.
After a day it manifested itself as his new right hand. The main character Shinichi Izumi was a victim of these parasytes, but before it took over his brain he stopped it in his arm. For example, there are creatures that appear one day (the parasytes), their goal is to take over the human mind and live by eating other humans, and there is a resistance to these later on when the numbers and activities of these creatures become widespread. To some extent it displays old school horror tropes. Parasyte – The Maxim is adapted from a manga series, Parasyte, that lasted from 1989 – 1995. The first, who determines which life form is more valuable? The second, to what extent can humans damage an ecosystem that it attempts to repair itself by wiping out its aggressors?
This is an anime that attempts to ask us two questions, the latter a bit more subtly. Parasyte – The Maxim comes off as a your typical gore of the season anime that attempts nothing more than to be glorified gore porn with senseless violence for the sake of attracting viewers and controversy.
