Tokyo Ghoul, especially the first season, has a lot of superficial similarities to Parasyte. They're both shows about milquetoast teen guys who get a monster injection of a type of monster that needs to eat humans to survive. As that series progresses, though, it turns more and more into just a battle manga and less about whether the monsters can still be good people even if they're eating humans. But hey battle manga are good anyway so whatever. Gankutsuou is probably the better recommendation, though. Really cool show, and sorta similar somehow to Parasyte. Not in plot or setting, not at all, but maybe in... tone? I dunno.

Tokyo Ghoul is a vampire story, with an edgy gory aesthetic. Parasyte is a coming-of-age story. Unlike Kaneki, Shinichi can function without needing to eat humans, and Parasyte's drama comes from the mind and body irreversibly changing (like puberty!). Tokyo Ghoul's setting is also absurd, the stakes are so high that by rights the entirety of human society should have become militarised to face the ghouls, which are an existential threat to the state. But it didn't follow through on it, the same way that it didn't have Kaneki compromise himself and struggle just to survive. Stories about fledgling vampires should force an immediate change on the protagonist just to survive, but TG's plot is moved forward by a bunch of absurd battle contrivances. The only TG episodes worth watching are the first handful, and then the last episode of the first season.

Yeah, Tokyo Ghoul seemed to do everything right in the beginning and then it was a huge disappointment.

When in doubt, stick to JoJo.

The Devilman manga is good and similar to Parasyte with an emphasis on gory battles and body horror.

The Guyver too, unfortunately there you have a choice between: a) A horribly animated 90's OAV with no real ending. b) An okay TV series from the mid 2000's but ends in the same place as the old OAV. c) A manga that has been running for longer than Berserk and is even less likely to ever be finished. z)Two live action movies, the first starring Luke Skywalker, the second one starring Solid Snake.

I want them to make an anime version of Bio Meat. ...and Franken Fran. GorfZaplen posted:The Devilman manga is good and similar to Parasyte with an emphasis on gory battles and body horror. The best part about Devilman is that their awesome plan to become Devil Men is "let's get really super wasted and party with hippies until demons show up and then like...somehow we take them over?" And it works. Light Gun Man fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Apr 12, 2015 |

I have a soft spot for it (especially the dub) and the first six episodes are a pretty okay retelling of the manga but then the animation quality drops like a stone and the second half is practically a bunch of voiced stills set to music.

Apocolypse Zero is another really good gore battle manga with an awfully animated OVA that ends at a terrible spot.

Honestly I don't remember the old Guyver OVA being that badly animated. Then again, I also have a little bit of a different perspective, ever since I found out it's not unheard of for old OVAs to have been made on a smaller budget than one episode of an average TV anime. I tend to cut old OVAs a little more slack than I probably should as a result of that.

I just shotgunned the entire series today. It was surprisingly* awesome until Tamara/Tamiya died, but was still good after that though I thought some parts were kind of forced. The very end was great and tense though. It was very well done. I'm still left wondering one thing though. Was it ever laid out where exactly the parasites came from? *I originally was expecting a lot more focus on some kind of body horror thing, not a psychological romp. E: Bold is not spoiler. Wow.

Nope, other than speculation that they might somehow be the earth trying to protect itself from the spread of humans the Parasite origins are left a mystery.
