The aliens are new born, they still learning. If you watch the the maximum anime. Youll know that only a couple of them was smart and a fast learner
The anime was amazing.
Yeah, I loved it too, but with the way the alien parasites were in the anime, I really didn't think it would translate well to live action. Especially with the relatively low budgets in Asian film production. Sometimes something like Godzilla Minus One shows you can do something amazing for surprisingly little budget, but there's only so far you can go with that.
How do you feel about this live-action version
@@animezilla4486 lol. Lmao. Is that a serious question? They bastardized it
I also read the manga before anime came out originally amazing anime honestly 😊
But the ending kinda rush.
0:08 "Stimulate your senses."
And activate those almonds sized neurons!
That Parasyte hit different...😅
In defence of the p0lice chief, as a writer you really should understand dramatic irony. You went into that situation as the audience knowing everything as a fact of the story. Up until that point he had no knowledge or concept of them, even when people did bad things they were still people to him. If he was not the type of person who thought about things like fantasy and aliens then everything she was saying was being rationalised in a manner that made them still human. I would even say knowing all that people would be hard pressed to disassociate them from being human when they weren't attacking.
8:00 the way they're supposed to work (haven't seen the show, read the manga) is they eat the head, take its place and learn everything from scratch. So the language would be based on their environment rather than what the host knew.
I think that "white phone" at 1:25 is just a cover for her smart phone (as evident by the flashlight).
Ah, but why does it have buttons?
@@Alteori cuz its one of those 3d covers
@@Alteori I think those are fake buttons. You know, like Laptop and phone skins with designs.
@@riichobamin7612 Ohhhhhhhhh. Now I feel stupid lol
@@Alteori no it's cool. You are smart, but no one is smart all the time. Slip ups happen 🍻😂
I really liked all the expressions in your animation. I always enjoy your reviews.
Your new avatar Kitsune looks awesome
"Parasyte" overall is exceedingly similar in theme to the 1970's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" movie (which was a remake of a 50's movie of the same name which was based on the fear of communists hiding amongst the population... which ironically turned out to be true after all.)
Anyway, the plants of "Body Snatchers" also just blast off from alien planets they've taken over and float around, hoping to land on a new fertile planet to take over. Once they consume the original human, they produce a duplicate that acts coldly and unemotionally, just like the Parasyted humans.
21:43 The alien has a limited time to infect a host before maturation and once mature it can longer spread. This is demonstrated in the og/Maxim story through Migi(main character's parasyte) being relegated to an arm, the first parasyte they encounter being in a dog and thus unable to transition to a human and later primarily through the mouth parasyte whom was unable to take control as the moment he infected his host he had to save him from death.
This series is set within the exact same continuity as original Parasyte anime (which had TWO live action movies in 2015) so the task force ALREADY EXISTED before the main character in this series got possessed by the alien.
This is only episode 1, you never know where the focus goes for the rest of the season.
It only existed in Japan. There are no indications it had expanded elsewhere. They should have taken the time to establish that. The show sped through everything
I've continued watching and yes, I was right, he task force IS a heavy focus from a narrative standpoint or atleast as a pov. Not really my thing. Doesn't mean it's bad, but just not really my thing. It feels like a law and order xfiles show more than the vibe I got from the anime.
@@Alteori Parasite is a series that has been around since late 1980s and was inspired by legendary Horror Manga creator Junji Ito for his series of stories.
@@Alteori Fair enough.
Personally i think they tried to balance it between the task force and the parasytes since the anime already put so much emphasis of the parasytes already which left the task force lacking narratively.
I really love the anime and glad you like it too. There are TWO live action movie adaptations of the anime made around 2015... Would love your opinion on them.🥰
Thanks for the response. 🤝🤝👍
EDIT:
Eeeeh..... Please PLEASE do a reaction or review for ARCANE animated series. 🙏🙏🙏
@@Alteori the same way I felt about the show. They were there simply for exposition dump. The original manga was so better paced and written, you should check the anime
The phone was a phone case... you can clearly see the 4 camera lenses poking through the white rubber.
Very rare a live action of an anime does this accurate to the source material
To be fair the original anime and manga the main character was a boy the Korean version decided to use a female
@@animezilla4486if you finish the show you will understand why.
Really adorable new avatar Alteori
Wow the first 9 seconds were hilarious. Anyway hope you keep uploading I really love that you’re still uploading and alive and probably doing well. I like that so keep it up!
I was waiting for your review of this one! Thanks!!!
This review made me lol in a good way. Great work.
This series is good if you watch it in korean and not english
4:43 all of this was adorable
Personally, I really enjoyed the series. I loved how it differentiated itself from the anime by not just following the anime storyline but doing its own things somewhat. There are a few repeats story lines from the anime that are done here, but still a fun watch overall.
(12:44) Its never about intelligence of the alien species. Its about arrogance. Regardless of our numbers, or the firepower of their hosts, they believe they are superior to humans. Though I imagine there wasn't much effort done in researching the hosts they're taking. Let's just overpower them, eat them, then move on with our plans...
tbh the explanation of time limit and language is all in the anime and manga , think of these thing like the thing but it can only replicate certain part of the host once during the larvae phase (if you got brain then you got all knowledge and memorie too ) after the process is done ,it is done . No take back , it can expend part of itself to heal the host but that would make their energy level very low and needing to enter regenerative sleep all the time . Tbf it can jump body by cutting the head off and replace the head but the biomass is still need to be theirs and jump body didnt help heal lost biomass. In the clerk case i think its partial takeover and basically merge their brain together since this parasite is capable of developing empathy immediately while in anime it took more than a year of motherhood for one to develop empathy .
22:09 holy crap! Is that you Cortana??
Hello Alteori.
I'd seen the anime, need to finish it. The live action version, mmm, I think I might give it a look see and just move on. Ninja Kamui, that anime I love, awesome opening song.
Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
Nice review as always....But Pantheon review when👀
"Nah, i don't need box dat bad" lmao
Nice art
I think the story would be better if the main character had half of her face paralyzed an the alien took over that half of her head while she's still awake
Alteori the aliens are like baby turtles with only the instinct to eat. They can learn very very quickly n remember way better than us also they consume the brain and possibly even melt themselves down to fuse with cells around which body part they are.
12:56 - not every parasite takes the time to learn strategies, some don't even take the time to learn basic anatomy much less experiment. Understand? They all have different personalities
18:54 nah you ain’t weird. When it comes to someone like you, it’s called being honest and cool.
Honestly sometimes I feel better when people call me weird 😂
There is a two part live action Japanese movie based on the original manga and anime already and it's a pretty accurate adaptation for the most part. This is a totally different story. And why watch the dubbed version and mock the woman's? This kind of series is best watched in its original language with subs. I know we all can be lazy to read subs but at least you don't get issues like emotions not matching what's on-screen. 😆
She already said she didn't have the time.
The show wasn't bad to me. I really like this show.
Hello Alteori
I thought it was ok, obviously not as good as the anime but as a stand alone story it was pretty good.
26:15 Well that tells me you haven't watched the episode where Shinichi technically dies then. Because if you had then you will know Migi shortly after had to do a large amount of maintenance on Shinichi for his body to recover and survive for how severe his injury was.
And that ended with a double edge sword. The pros, He was kept alive and kicking, more than that he is now has the physical prowess of athletes in every regard. But the downside, Migi wouldn't be there to help him consistently so he'll need to sleep for at least four hours and Shinichi wouldn't know where a Parasyte would be. While at the same time, they'll know exactly where he is.
Also no, I didn't have to rewatch it to make this comment. Anyways this is only the first episode, don't expect all answers to be answered people.
(Because I know some randos will respond to this comment)
Buh, some rando responding to this comment!!
@@deaconvelos8352 "My predictions never ceases to fail me!" Anyways, any thoughts on the matter that I brought up?
@@DangerDan64 you make good points here, it's been a while since I've watched it myself. Though it is strange that they now have to go in through the ear when before it was the first body part they came into contact with, (the entire reason why Miki was Shinichi's arm) so this new girl having her parasite in part of her head should have been a full take over for the creature
@@deaconvelos8352 Not exactly, if you remember what happen to "Jaws", his host was also about to die, so to make things quick. It only took over the bottom part of the head and chest.
You can make the argument a similar issue was happening here. So the Parasyte rushed the process to save the host and itself and that's the result that's demonstrated here.
You see why "context" is clear when you guys make these takes for someone like myself will have to bring up, since no slander to Alteori she has a life and all and I respect that. That being said on the topic on watching the series. She really should've watched the whole thing before watching this series.
Or else I wouldn't be here having to be the one to state the facts and low-key shame her for that.
(Because yeah, shame those who haven't finished masterpieces like this series. Also the demand isn't that big there's 26 episodes and she already watched Invincible season 2.)
Uhh, spoilers.
Hey Alteori if you think this things horror-ish you should checkout When They Cry, this screwed my brain up lol
Hmm Alteori should binge Star Trek TNG, DS9 and Voy
Yo I love how Alteori used Japanese for her voice over. I wonder if that is an actual translation or something different
No they don't force things down your mouth at raves, that's silly 😅 maybe it's called a Grey because it takes over the brain? The brain is known as Grey matter.
OH ok I thought it was a requirement to enter LOL. Damn, well that's good then LOL
So I watch the series and apparently it's called gray because the team that takes out parasytes, is called Grey.
I would love to watch an anime with your little character in it 😅
Storm hawks review, please
This series is great,interesting take from you i guess
Lol. In the anime the parasite spent all night teaching itself Japanese by looking at books and the internet. At first it could barely say a couple words. Caveat being that it didn't inhabit the main character's brain, i guess
Its been so long since I saw the anime that I really enjoyed watching this one. Turns out its an adaptation/sequelish kinda thing with Shinichi even showing up at the very end so I started rewatching the anime to prepare for what might come next.
This show does feel a bit too rushed though, the anime takes things slow and gives enough time for you to understand how the parasites slowly have to learn themselves how the world works with some growing different personalities.
Netflix has been weird with these 6 episode K dramas. Usualy K dramas are good because they spend like 3 episodes just setting the stage before telling the main story but things got so rushed here. Rewatching the anime makes it feel like the Anime was that entire backstory you need to understand this show at times.
For the show itself, I kind of like the differing progression on this one with some later episodes explaining the Grey task force was created because of more public parasite attacks happening in Korea compared to Japan where it was more like a string of serial killers making them more of a mystery.
Unfrotunatley things with the parasites themselves wasent expanded on very much on this version since one of the methods for finding parasites was checking their hair which even in the original anime sounded a bit foolish since they're dealing with creatures that can split you open in less then a second from being that close. There was also a couple plot points that just felt straight ripped from the anime instead of progressing into its own thing with how things unfolded in Korea.
Weak ep 1 and first half of ep 2 but i got hooked as it picked up in ep 3 until the end. Plus for a live action series, the cgi was good. I truly liked it overall and cant wait for season 2. Fingers crossed
12:54 this part confuses me so in the anime the only way you can kill these aliens if you have your own alien. But yet the task force that was created in the show has the weapons that automatically kills them
No the anime specifies that destruction of the heart would kill them(and later demonstrates a human Japanese task force doing so) and in this show they follow that same logic.
I have been on maybe a thousand raves in my life and not ones did someone force someone else to take drugs. Ravers watch out for one another. If someone is not feeling good and sitting in the corner you have maybe 20 random people checking on that person with a bottle of water.
No drugs shoved in mouths while entering into raves!! Hahahaha people always have weird ideas of what happens at raves and when they go it’s better and more fun than they thought.
This was a fair review i guess because i scene the original i thought this was well put together because i subconsciously mad connections. You should watch Strong Girl Nam-soon which is a spin off of which i didn't know about i just watched it because it looked fun and interesting a hero show done in a funny cute love story way i have to watch the original but i still love this show.
Miggy from the anime is venom without the jokes, this live actio has a different character and premise and i don't lnow about u but it's not easy to build a relationship with someone u can't talk to or interact with beyond being forced into a different location or situation.
I'm glad you watched this show, I'd say you should watch the anime or the Japanese movie before this shows but you could also do that After this show.
They make these parasites infinitely less scarier
@1:43
that's a PHS, Japanese had that before cellphone became mainstream
So minor worldbuilding notes and possible spoilers so don't read if you want to watch the anime or read the manga than do so before reading this.
Things we know. When a person is infected by a parasyte, the new being created takes some time before it begins to communicate probably and move normally. The first episode of the anime shows them watching TV, reading books and so on to learn words and human mouth movements and everything else they could need. If a parasyte fails to reach the brain than it is a failure but they can still survive and can live alongside their host. Although when this happens the parasyte is far more limited than their brethren in terms of morphing. They are also rather simple creatures and ANY threat to their life by their host and they will kill you as they're very logical thinkers. One of the things to note is that parasytes do not understand human emotions or humanity in general and work purely on logic and statistics. They also can infect animals BUT they don't because that is a failure to them which the first episode of anime explains. Once a parasyte has failed to reach the brain, they can not relocate or attempt to reach the brain again. Humans are their primary target and than their origin is complete mystery. We have no idea whether they are an alien species or just some engineered creature that was spread here on earth. I hope they don't even attempt it, it doesn't need explaining.
Final note that I'm confused on but by the end of parasyte it is quite clear that we humans know how to spot a parasyte which is as simple as pulling out a hair and the other fact is that parasytes went into hibernation by the end of the Manga/anime and I'm sure Migi says they will never wake again. Than again this might be another batch seeing as how it's in a different country but you think Japan would inform the rest of the world on everything they learned.
Idk anything about Parasyte so this was extremely helpful! I was super confused as to why humans were the main target when I assume they don't eat them or anything
@@spleens7831 Oh they do eat humans. It's just a pure natural instinct thing for them to do that. Think how Lion cub knows it wants to eat meat. Parasytes want to eat humans. They are mostly driven by a need to survive like the rest of animal kind. An just like animals they view things very differently to how us humans do.
@@spleens7831 Ah well forgot to mention this but they are cannibal species. If they take over a human, they want to eat human. If they "failed" and took over say a rat, they would want to eat rat. It's just a natural thing for them like how Lions want to eat meat or Rabbits want to eat carrot.
That anime indeed did handle everything much better than this show, it's a great watch.
Also watch Arcane FFS!
Hey The Host was a good story. It wasn't really a live triangle. It was a square cuz another guy feel in love with the alien.
The anime is a banger, my boys shinichi and migi aren't nowhere to be seen
Hmm, 2 views in 1 second
Alteori fell off ❤
Parasyte the maxim (anime) explains the reason for the control limit... kind of
Got a question for everybody what was the best Asian TV show on Netflix that is not an anime my pic is girl from nowhere I thought that was a great show hope we get that season 3
Okay I missed that they did a live action maybe I should review the anime
Dragonheart's effects were more convincing than what this show gave us.
Nice take and amazing voice acting as always. Didn’t know that the adaptation even existed until now and honestly it’s looking like a disappointment.
Me to guidelines: alright sire!
The main character's evil voice sounds like the Major from Ghost in the Shell.
0:33 Being honest I enjoy The Grey more so than the og story though admittedly it may be bias due to seeing The Grey first then going back and watching The Maxim. My initial thoughts on The Grey weren't exactly good because of the stupid hamfisted "kill humans" environmentalism message but at least that's only a brief moment and widely forgotten as opposed to killing the momentum of the story in the latter half as the og or at least The Maxim did. Aside from that I honestly liked the characters a bit better though I do think Hiedi awoke to more human feelings or at least seemed to a bit too quickly but it's not a long show so I can forgive that.
alteori, your japanese is quite good, intonation-wise :p
but yeah, i watched in korean, but the story is still meh.
i used to like the original manga, but other adaptations including the anime are far from it.
Day 4 asking Alteori for SAURIA review from the channel Dead Sound
Hmmm it's out already huh,
The story in the Anime will always be exquisite 👌🏻 we'll just have to see where they go with it on Netflix, hope they don't Death note this shit 😂
YOOOO COMMENT
There are live action Parasyte movies that do a much better job than the Netflix show that you should check out.
7:36 where they came from? Well that's easy, they came from Uranus!
Nothing ever sounds good in your native language for some reason, it always sounds better in a different one
Alteori, keep in mind in the anime in comparison to the live action show. The Parasytes started out as grisly murders that no one can explain. So, them being hunted down took almost a year for the government to take action.
As for in the live action series, since the Parasyte already killed a large number of people with enough eye witnesses for their government to act faster on the situation.
So these "Idiotic moments" you were claiming can be brushed off as them not completely being accustomed to the world they live in.
Also in the anime, it is made clear their personality is monotone just simply because they can't properly express themselves. Remember, these beings rely on survival in the basic way possible. That's how they function. It takes them about a year to properly obtain some semblance of what we call as "humanity" so something tells me, you only watched about 10 episodes since you admitted you never finished it. And I'm guessing you never gotten to these plot points yet.
Well, let me give you some motivation on watching the anime. Keep going up until episode 18 and you will have a highlight of the series.
i told yaaaa
It's an iphone with an old Nokia phone case at 1:35
If anything the last episode is cool cuz spoilers
It introduced shinichi an teased mini all tho idk if it's the version from the manga anime or the live action movie
Alr
I haven't seen CG effects this bad in over 20 years
Another victim of the Live Action Curse.
I watched the first five episodes of the parasite animated TV show and it just didn't stick and I fell offward pretty quick.
#1 I'm weird....Rad Roach!🤣
I loved this adaptation! You shouldn't watch this in English... Please. Its good for an adaptation.
alteori what happened to your catch phrase? you asked we answered
Hi
The first episode wasn't anything special, but it does get slightly better as the episodes continues, this is just my opinion.
Spoiler Alert....
.

.

Shinichi is in the final Episode. I'm looking forward to Season 2. I was hoping they would have him in the Show and The season ending didn't disappoint.
Yo ppl
Seven Hundredth and Forty Third
Play possums maybe they'll walk away 15:31
If you have time watch the anime. It's mutch more intristing even Taking into account the limitations of live action this is realy bad
Live Action just can't hold a candle to the Anime. Too many "creative changes", too many self-inserts, and too much political messaging for "modern audiences". The Anime was great on it's own, and that's what it should remain.
OMG the dub is so bad!!! lol. 😂😂😂. Thanks for addressing it.
... I'll pass.
I read the manga when it first came to the states, and it was really good. And one of those rare few that finishes the story. I recommend it. This show... Has potential, but certain characters are just SO dumb that it took me out of it.
Please don't tell me you watched the English dub... because if you did then that's your first and biggest mistake lol
3:35 heck american dub is always this bad? I hate it so much... I'm glad I watched the Spanish dub
Btw, I missed Migi all series... this show is not bad... but not so good either... Anime (and I guess manga) is much, MUCH better and interesting
About that phone in the begging
I think it's just that the production needed people to be holding stuff they would have in raves so they just got random things for people to have in that scene one being a weird toy phone
It's a phone case... it's so painfully clearly a phone case designed to look like an old nokia-like phone. It's the back of her phone. You can see the 4 camera lenses and a flashlight.
Like phones have. Because it's a phone...
The anime is so much better
The Thing but a complete garbage fire
I've been to several raves, no one is forcing drugs down your throat, you just have ample opportunity to partake.
