![]() The writers did everything in their power to somehow elevate Shinichi to a god-level in one moment then degrade him to a useless hippo the next moment in order to fit whatever they were farting out of their butts. Now you have to contrast that in order to create a theme or idea, but the show doesn't succeed in showing two sides of a concept, although they try. Furthermore, in order to promote themes, the show portrayed a lot of things incorrectly, especially human beings (The police). It's almost like although the show wanted to be philosophical, it was just about one boy running away from a herd of parasytes trying to kill him for no rational reason other than him being the main character. A lot of things were taken too slowly, then rushed in the latter creating an unbalanced flow in the plot. One moment there's a fight then there's awkward school life-romance, then there's running away and talking pretentiously, then there's another fight randomly. The plot doesn't go in linear way, it cuts corners and adds in random interferences whilst not being able to intertwine and contain them all. Where does it go from there? A psychological show? An action show? A horror? A romance? All of the above, while almost failing to reach it's potential in every aspect. Shinichi, the protagonist only gets infected in his right hand, therefore he still has conscious control over his body (except for his right hand obviously). And as you can guess, Parasytes eat humans making them the one species above human beings in the food chain. Parasytes basically infect human beings, usually take over their brains and control them. ![]() The story can't seem to decide what direction they want to go. ![]() Sure everyone wants to believe that what they're watching is deep, but truth be told it's really not. The story starts off with what everyone believed was going to be a philosophical story between the meaning of life and death, and humanity vs reality with the introduction of a species higher up in the food pyramid ![]() The series definitely doesn't stay true to the "meant-to-be" dark-premise of the manga, especially towards the end. It's just not as deep as you might want to believe it is. "Oh you're just not intelligent enough to grasp all the deep concepts hidden within the philosophical plot!" No. Overrated does not mean bad, it simply means overrated. ![]()
