    Parasyte

    http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/3/65165.jpg

    Plot:
    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.



    I hate discussing anime in the general thread so here's one for this.

    I really enjoy the dynamic between the MC and Migi so far. There's a lot of potential for that relationship to evolve. No other characters have really stood out so far but I'm interested to see what villains will pop up. The suspense surrounding the parasyte invasion is gonna be interesting to follow as well.

    The MC and Migi relationship is definitely an interesting dynamic and can make for fun comedy. It always makes me smile and chuckle a little when Migi talks and in my mind I know it's adorable Aya Hirano doing the voice.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Had to click your link to make sure. I thought she couldn't land any lead type roles after the scandal a few years back.

    Oh god Migi is Dende. (And yes I know she's done bigger roles but I either never watched those or saw them in English)

    Good anime always feels too short.

    I don't know why the japanese fans think it doesn't match the source material, I went and read the manga over the last few days and enjoyed it - I think the animes doing a petty good job.

    Minor spoilers for my guess:
    Spoiler: show
    All of it - It's 24 eps, and the manga is 69 chapters.

    That would make it one of the fastest paced anime adaptations ever made.

    Every anime ep so far has been 2-3 chapters and excising some parts for the sake of focus. It wouldn't be totally unreasonable for them to cover all of it.

    Claymore did 60 chapters in 22 eps, I don't think its that unreasonable.

    Ep 4 takes us up to the end of chapter 9 of the manga. So it might fall a little short, maybe some specials/ova after the season. Depends if they skip some stuff.

    Based on what happened with the teacher bitch, it feels like it's moving very fast.

    It's hard to say what they'll skip considering much of it ties into the grand finale and denouement, but they're definitely going to have to cut several major events, maybe even the entire post-climax events.
