Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu

[Rodrigo]

 

The 17-year-old Izumi Shinichi lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like aliens called Parasytes invade Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. One Parasyte attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails since he is wearing headphones, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead, taking over his right hand and is named Migi.

Because Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from traveling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellect and personality. As the duo encounter other Parasytes, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasytes, who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. Shinichi feels compelled to fight other Parasytes, who devour humans as food, while enlisting Migi's help.

 

This show is very good, more people should be talking about it. The dynamics between Izumi and Migi are very well done, and the way they develop the parasites is great.

The images I've seen of it freaked me out, but after reading the premise I do like the sound of this. Putting it on my to-do list.

 

The guy in the back reminds me of Younger Toguro.

This anime has potential to be best of the season.

It's just a good watch and manga readers were saying it's been a faithful adaption so far, so that's good to know.

I loved the original manga, and I really want to see this.

I ended up eating through the first six episodes because I was so absorbed.  Shinichi's sudden aggression has me pumped and I'm really hyped to see how he goes about handling this particular parasyte.
