Mainly because of the source material (the manga is held in very high regard). A bunch of parasitic aliens have come to earth and need to feed on living things in order to survive. One such parasite intended to infect Shinichi Izumi, but something happened and could not fully take over. Now, known as Migi (right in english) lives as part of him. The core of the entire show is the relationship between Migi and Shinichi. The parasites are emotionless creatures driven solely on survival. Shinichi is a caring human being and soon sees his new found partner as a reason to fight other parasites. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that they slowly become more like each other as the show goes on. Despite that though there is very little actual character development. Yes, you can tell the characters are different from when they started, but I don't feel like they really do enough to have really made those changes matter. The story is Shinichi simply trying to figure out what to do with Migi, and later when he accepts him, how to stop the other parasites. A lot of the good parts in the show are when they do the battles and they work together to overcome obstacles that individually they would have difficulties with. There are sub plots too and quite a few devastating moments to move the story along. But the show does mainly become about beating the big boss parasite. I think Parasyte was a good show that kind of squandered what it could have been. It has a decent pair for a main that gets some development, good action, and enough tense moments to keep you covered. But doesn't go that extra step to really put it among the greats imo. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:885979813] in Kokoro's t...
