    Parasyte the Maxim and Devilman Crybaby are based on manga from the Dark Ages. Yet through clever writing, they feel just as relevant today as they did long ago. Here's how. SPOILERS!

    Parasyte is one of my favorite animes not just for the action but because it has one hell of a story and character development.

    • @NopeJustPatrick
      @NopeJustPatrick 6 лет назад +24

      *Daniel Art* - The psychological aspect of the characters was very interesting, even if some of the characters seemed a bit unrealistically obtuse at times(however, that was likely something they intended as it helped accentuate the strange lack of parasite detection and the strange cold intelligence of many of the parasites).

      When Shinichi cried after that parasyte lady died, I was on the verge of tears. It was so impactful. I went in expecting an ok 6/10, but ended up watching a 10/10

    • @AwesomeAutismHC
      @AwesomeAutismHC 2 года назад

      I think one of my favorite things about it was Shinichi’s dub actor. He was able to PERFECTLY capture the terrified bafflement of everything going on around him, and then his complete detachment from it after Migi repaired his heart.

  • @Kyotosomo
    @Kyotosomo 6 лет назад +874

    Parasyte was really good. Pacing is really important to me so I often knock a lot of anime series for being too long, but Parasyte is one of the very few shows I'd knock for being too short. I really would have loved to see them explore more society after the invasion plus I feel like the power level of the enemies escalated really quickly at the end and could have been done slower.

    • @NopeJustPatrick
      @NopeJustPatrick 6 лет назад +52

      Kyotosomo - I think it could have done better with more parasite interactions, that way we could have had that much more time for him to realistically progress in skill. It would have upped the action a bit, gave us some more of his and his parasite's character, and given us more hints at the wider view of the parasite's global "infection".

    • @thomasjess5029
      @thomasjess5029 6 лет назад +32

      Kyotosomo Now that you mention it, I would have liked to see how Goto became what he is. I mean did they take the larva of four parasites and infected each limb while tying a rope around them or did they just move the infected heads of hosts and turned them into limbs?

    • @NopeJustPatrick
      @NopeJustPatrick 6 лет назад +15

      Thomas Jess - Most likely the heads into a host, otherwise they wouldn't each be capable of taking over as the head(that's one of the reasons the Protag Parasyte didn't just take over his body after the midnight struggle. I think the logic had to do with needing to consume and convert a certain amount of matter, and that they also needed to see how human brains control the body I order to do it themselves).

    • @thomasjess5029
      @thomasjess5029 6 лет назад +7

      Patrick That makes the most sense. At one point early on, Shinichi and Migi encounter a parasite controlled human who offers Migi to jump ship in the form of his right arm. Also Goto could shape-shift his arm into a head after Miki failed to kill them.

    • @NopeJustPatrick
      @NopeJustPatrick 6 лет назад +7

      Thomas Jess - Yep, it's basically a rectangle-square kinda thing. Heads can become limbs, but limbs need to be heads first.

    I'm actually a big fan of Lupin III's modern take/use of social media. At first it seems like it's just tacked on, but as the season has progressed there's been some very clever manipulation of people's thoughts and actions by Lupin and Friends through the social media situation they find themselves in. Great Video as always

    • @JohnSmith-bf8kv
      @JohnSmith-bf8kv 6 лет назад

      Actually, Crybaby's screenwriter Ookouchi Ichirou is involved in the new Lupin. I like the main concept but Ami is just way too Chyunibyou to fit in the Lupin franchise and Lupin's character is going off track imo.... Plus Ookouchi is pretty infamous for writing Chyunibyou stuff in Guilty Crown and Kabaneri.... Hope this doesn't start to suck half way.

    • @jambondepays1969
      @jambondepays1969 6 лет назад +2

      You clearly don't understand what chuunibyou means given that you mispelled it, capped it for no reason, and also used to describe a character that isn't a chuuni at all. Seriously, what do you think it means? There are no chuunis in Kabeneri or Lupin part V. Kaido from Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan is a chuuni, the only category Ami would fit in would be kuudere and oh my god why do i know so much about this

    • @Basileus127
      @Basileus127 6 лет назад +3

      Agreed, Ami can't be "way too Chuuni" because she isn't chuuni at all. I can't really say that Lupin's character is going off track either since he's been a lot of different things in each adaptation to begin with. The original Lupin III from the 70s manga was way darker than any anime version. This Lupin feels pretty similar to the other "blue jacket" Lupin from the previous anime so it feels like there is continuity there.

      @NopeNaw 6 лет назад +13

      Not from the vantage point of Shinichi, but from Nobuko's vantage point Shinichi would be one of the most important focal points of her life, because he is her son. As such, he becomes a plot device for her development (albeit limited, because she's a supporting character, not the protagonist), most notably when catching the pot of boiling oil and getting the scar, in order to save young Shinichi from it.

    • @justwow768

    Damn Parasyte is so good, when I watched it the first time I had no idea what it was. I only gave it a shot because it was the only interesting thing on Chrunchyroll at the time after only one episode I was hooked. It was awesome waiting week after week for a new episode to come out and when everything was wrapped up I was delighted by how complete it was everything was tied up and no sequel in sight. I really love this show it's odd how I almost forgot about it.

    • @XogeiD
      @XogeiD 6 лет назад

      Both shows looks super dated and both shows used some fanservice techniques, Cutey Hones has 5 famous Seiyuu voicing the MC, just to try to bank of their pull, BESIDES the nature of the show itself. If we talk about brand recognition, CH should at least stand side to side to Kitaro as the brainchild of Go Nagai, the original "rule of cool" show, the show that introduced fanservice to anime, the very "social norms transgressor", the inspiration for transformation sequences, etc. But it seems that no name or title can save you from technical failures.

      XogeiD >cutie honey introduced transformation sequences
      Trying not to be an ass but no, himitsu no akko chan was arguably the first. Created by the MASSIVELY influential fujio akatsuka, it was considered the first magical girl manga on the whole, and only a little bit shy of first shoujou anime. its a not a total cultural mainstay like some of his other works (osomatsu-kun, bakabon, moretsu ataro) but is still very much important.

    I didn't get into the Parasyte anime. I just couldn't get over the changes they made to it. I read the original manga, and it's one of my favourite manga of all time. The changes to Shin's character over time, the upped stakes, everything is on this weird quasi-grand scale. But when I see clips from the anime, I don't see Parasyte. I see something *trying* to be Parasyte. At the most surface level, it doesn't *look* like Parasyte. The original manga had a somewhat unique look to it (as manga is want to do) and the anime doesn't even come close to capturing that.
    I get that they wanted to bring it into the modern day, but there was no need to do that. Yes it adds some bits with the whole aspect of modern technology, but there really was no reason for why it couldn't be a period piece.

    • @ViewtifulZeke
      @ViewtifulZeke 6 лет назад +1

      I have since gone back and watched the anime (although skipping the first episode and starting with the second and third episode instead) and I did in fact enjoy it. Granted, I still think I would've enjoyed it more if it was closer to the original manga than the anime is. Little things like how Satomi switches from holding Shin's right hand to holding his left hand changes the dynamic of the characters. In the original manga it's Shin that changes hands when Satomi starts inspecting his right hand.
      To touch on something mentioned in this video, namely when Shin picks up the spider (or cockroach in the original). In the manga it's not there to humanize Shinichi, it's literally there to do the complete opposite. To show how Shinichi is acting different, less human, and how his mother is subconsciously picking up on it. Because the entire point of the story is how Shinichi is gradually becoming less and less human and his way back to humanity from that realization.
      Edit: I'll give the anime one giant plus point, though, the ED song. It hits super hard, especially in some of the more sad parts of the story.
