[Parasyte] - 1
I was tempted to join the general chorus on this show by saying that the animation was excellent but, considering the subject matter, if the animation was poor the whole thing would be extremely disappointing. As it stands, it basically felt like watching an animated version of The Thing which is high praise considering the stunning quality of the special effects in that movie. Transformation and movement is basically what animation is all about so to see if have free reign here was beautiful.
Still, stepping away from the animation, the entire thing felt extremely well made. It just felt extremely well put together and the writing was actually good. Probably my second favourite pilot episode of the season, right behind Bahamut.
Two things I could do without:
- Bad music.
- Boob grabs.
Oh, and I can't say I'm looking forward to the inevitable flood of screencaps featuring the phrase "Must not fap!".
