This part made me cry when I read it in the manga, and it made me tear up this time around too. Parasyte is good

Seems like they toned it down a bit. If I remember correctly, in the manga the exposition about the serial killer had a panel of him loving a headless corpse to illustrate, but in the anime they were just like "he's a serial killer" and moved on.

I read this while I was living in Tokyo, from '91, its possibly my favorite non- crazy sci-fi manga, so I'm glad I'm positively impressed by the Maxim. Concept and execution are really nicely developed,

No, I'm talking about when they go into the serial killer's backstory and show him loving a decapitated corpse. I dig gory stuff but man I'm glad they skipped that.

This was very subtly included in a cutaway unfortunately. You couldn't quite tell for certain but I realized what was happening when I saw it. Gross.

Didn't they show that at the beginning of the show, when all the parasites are falling down to earth?

Their method of testing for paraystes seems really obvious in retrospect. Maybe they simply never had the opportunity to test it, and they needed this large scale facade to do so.

I like how (unlike most horror/monster fiction of this nature) Parasyte makes it clear that humanity is still entirely capable of killing off the parasites and that there isn't much they could do against a full-fledged human offensive against them. Usually you'll have the monsters/zombies pose some existential threat to the human race as a whole, even if it isn't logical (like with the zombie apocalypse, where it doesn't really make any sense for zombies to be capable of overwhelming militaries, etc).

ViggyNash posted:Their method of testing for paraystes seems really obvious in retrospect. Maybe they simply never had the opportunity to test it, and they needed this large scale facade to do so.  Secondly, their target is the mayor's group, and without any concrete evidence they can't just accuse them of being parasites (on top of the government keeping their existence a secret to prevent general panic) so they have to be secretive about it. That in turn requires a lot of manpower to organize whatever pretext they decide to use and kill any parasite they expose.Regarding this arc, I love the cat and mouse nature of the whole thing with the military and the parasites being the only people who know what's really going on and playing their cards within that framework; the mayor's "Civilians first" pretext to avoid leaving the building followed by the soldier's scowl is great.

Plus, if they are actually using flamethrowers and have to blow them on the first batch, fire certainly won't be surprising to the rest of the parasytes.

To me that seemed like it was just Migi's awkward autistic way of saying that although fire is perfectly easy to understand from a 100% logical, rational point of view, it's still pretty loving startling to have a bunch of flames up in your face and be on fire and poo poo. It's another one of those times where the whole "  I'm So Logical, No Emotions Here" facade breaks down and you see Migi & the other Parasytes aren't as different as they think. Migi has the emotionally maturity of a ~9 month old old child... because he literally is a ~9 month old child. He can't even conceptualize his emotions clearly, let alone explain them easily, and can't just say "Being on fire would be really upsetting, it would make me scared". Instead the best he can do is say some weird vague poo poo about his "inner" and "outer" consciousness.

Sure, but it helps that parasytes don't seem to be able to procreate. You're right that most media is pretty over the top about it, but it's also true that there's a difference between fighting a discrete enemy with a limited number of targets, like parasytes, and "fighting" zombies, which is really more like trying to stop a plague.

I thought this was more referring to the fact that since a parasite is basically all neural tissue, that a flamethrower would cause a disconnect between the outer part of the parasite (holy gently caress I'm on fire ARGHASD!) and the inner part of the parasite..

This is basically the Tokyo Ghoul raid, except it's not stupid. Also, I'm surprised they haven't found out about Migi. The cops have Shinichi under surveillance, by rights the hotel room should have been bugged the gently caress up, like cameras and microphones everywhere. Migi wouldn't have spotted it because I don't think he's imaginative enough regarding humans capabilities. Perhaps the cops know and they're withholding that knowledge because they think Shinichi's trustworthy?

Seems kind of dumb that they were suspicious enough of Shinichi to introduce him to the prisoner, but apparently didn't check him out using their parasite x-ray detector? I get that it's the new guy who's brought that tech in with him, but really...

I'm getting kind of a John Carpenter vibe from the music, which would be appropriate considering this is like the bastard anime lovechild of The Thing and They Live.

I feel like Shinichi's always talking into his hand/with his hand up against his ear like he's speaking into a microphone right infront of people, at least was shown doing that on the occasional episode. Surprised that none of the character's in the show any concern that he's talking to himself.
