Here, have a crosspost of a post I made earlier in the fanart thread:Light Gun Man posted:Parasyte finally has an anime and Migi is being voiced by someone famous so most of the fanart is like this now: Anyway, Parasyte manga owns, this seems like it is set to own, movies are looking good too. I am completely down with all of this. I wonder what happened that made this suddenly come back as both a movie and anime at the same time. Rights change hands? Creator's royalties stop coming in? They were just waiting for CG maybe with the movie I suppose, but saying that makes me wish there was a mid 90s practical effects rubber monsters version too.

SALT CURES HAM posted:If I had to take a stab, I'd say it's an attempt at getting an American audience. Parasyte, to my knowledge, has always been way better known here than there. Are you saying "here" as America or Japan or what? Parasyte was one of the most easily accessible manga in the US back in the 90s because it was in MixxZine which was pretty easy to find. I think it had a fair number of "well anime is dumb as hell but I liked this one..." readers too. Amusingly one of my few Japanese friends was also a big fan of it, maybe it just has universal appeal. But yes I could see this doing OK in the US. The anime moreso than the movie I would guess. Maybe we'll get an awful American movie in a few years!

KonvexKonkav posted:Glad to see the dick hand was included but I find it pretty funny that this is one of the goriest animes I've seen yet the creators shy away from showing a penis directly. I feel like the violence was a bit toned down this episode. Not as much of it was directly on screen, I guess. Like when he kills the 4 people early in the p it's all kind of with a lower camera angle obscuring the actual violence occurring.

Very hype for the imminent chair leg stabbing. Not sure how that's gonna become a whole episode though, feels like they could have ended it within this one.

I'm amused that the dad is ALWAYS reading poo poo on his tablet in every scene he's in. The evolution of the "dad reading the paper" stereotype, I suppose.

That's another good dad moment in the newest one, he's just like "did you catch him jerkin off?" and the Mom freaks out apparently having never once considered this a possible thing the 50 times she's barged into her teen son's room in 4 episodes. I kind of want him to just start using that "hey I'm trying to jerk off don't come in!"

The thing is we aren't really seen much about his personality from before so you just have to kind of assume he was an unassuming Japanese kid with normal dumb Japanese high school kid concerns and behaviors and the way we are seeing him now is contrary to those. It's also moving ahead with the action and plot instead of spending multiple episodes on setup which is nice, but means some of the characterization is going to be retroactive and show in future episodes or whatever. There is no deep character to him yet, if at all, but everyone around him says he's different than how he was before. Which he should be, as he's suddenly come under massive stress and killed a man and has to live with a major secret and all that. His relationship with Migi isn't developed yet...because it isn't developed yet. They're still feeling things out.

The cap popping off is actually from the manga as well if memory serves, I was waiting for it to happen and was happy when it did. I think the only difference in that fight I noticed was the leg being a smooth cut in the show and more of a gnarled twisted off point in the manga, but that is super minor. It is a good fuckin scene, basically.

The better question is how they are turning flesh into metal and then back.

Remember the fortune teller scene, I guess that's supposed to be the whole thing. Manga does pretty much the same thing.

They'll have to go to porno to get the budget. Migi dicks in every episode.

Cake Attack posted:People think its a bad adaptation in japan, its not really about appeal People have weird loving memory then. Although, I agree if we are talking about the lack of "make eye contact, see a giant mantis" scenes because those ruled.

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 |
