So we replaced one show with creepy sex shit with another? That's just great.

 

[UltraGunner]

SHINY SHINY reprise

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Oh.

 

[BassForever]

Seems reactions to Parasyte a pretty strong here

 

[Raxus]

Murder?

Well have a love ballad!

 

[TheAbsolution]

Oh man, I am so in for the full series.
Pretty intriguing first episode.
What'd you guys think?

 

[Man God]

Heh.

 

[Grexeno]

PROSTITUTE MURDERING ACTION

ONLY TOONAMI

 

[Phatmac]

Am I watching SAO?

 

[Crocodile]

This is fucking amazing

As someone who has watched this before, I will admit this show starts strong but eventually meanders and then kind of ends weak. Maybe you come to a different conclusion them me however.

 

[thefatness16]

My favorite ending of 2014.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

As the song goes, "It's just you and your hand tonight".

 

[chicagocubsfan]

They butchered the great ED

 

[Seda]

Toonami-GAF is hilarious right now.

I knew I made the right decision to watch this while reading the reactions lol.

that's ... basically the reason this thread exists

 

[ckohler]

Not bad. I'm interested.

What the hell is this ED? It doesn't fit the show at all.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Oh, shortened.

 

[Soulflarz]

Well, that was interesting, to say the least?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

The dub is actually pretty tolerable, big step up from AgK

 

[Crash Station]

Yea, I am not joking, this is a horror series, not an action series.

It's both. It has some shounen (even though it's seinen) battles in it.

 

[kewlmyc]

So according to the credits, they're keeping the name Migi. Nice.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sentai massacred that ending.

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's better than Akame at least. That music and battle were weak tho. Time for Michiko & Hatchin.

 

[Zonic]

Dat sped-up ED.

Well, I have to say, the dub is a step up from AgK, that's for sure, but I fear we'll get that dubstep as our OP or ED considering what happened with AgK.....

 

[Gorillaz]

Yea, I am not joking, this is a horror series, not an action series.

I can definitely see the horror elements

 

[BatDan]

Right then, to the manga in the morning.

M&H time.
I'm seriously considering going to bed after this. So very tired.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Oh that's some old bump music.

 

[B-Dubs]

UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ

That music direction was...not good...

 

[Shard]

Yea, Parasyte really did start out strong.

 

[Man God]

One hour until the main event.

 

[aspiegamer]

I always love how a few gruesome murders that become big news in Japan would be so quaint by American standards. Well, love but also hate. You get the idea.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Oh that's some old bump music.

I noticed that too. It's been a while since they've used that bump music.

 

[Phatmac]

Good dub with good shows does wonders. Neat!

 

[lazybones18]

That was disgusting...in a good way

 

[GaimeGuy]

As someone who has watched this before, I will admit this show starts strong but eventually meanders and then kind of ends weak. Maybe you come to a different conclusion them me however.

Eh, if it's a horror manga that had an anime adaptation which somehow found its way onto toonami.... I'm not that confident in it having a good middle or end. But the beginning should be somewhat grounded in the manga concepts I guess?

 

[Raxus]

Although often WILDLY inappropriate I still love the ending to Parasyte.

 

[Hellwarden]

Yep, these reactions were more or less shared across the internet. Most people loved the first episode.

And then the series happened.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

great first episode, i like what i saw

 

[J@hranimo]

that's ... basically the reason this thread exists

Oh, but I'm not here often. Only for certain things.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I cant wait to see how this composer is going to handle the music in the High School Star Musical anime. It will definitely keep it from being an UtaPri clone if he uses the same inspiration from this Parasyte music.

 

[Moaradin]

Dub is definitely a big step up from AkG so far. I'm still not sure about Shinichi, but I guess being unsure about it is better than it being outright bad.

 

[TheOGB]

That was only slightly grosser than anticipated, and was otherwise interesting. I'm relieved.

Time for ThisIsBrazil.gif

 

[skLaFarebear]

Dub isn't bad and will probably get a lot more tolerable as VA's adjust to their roles and we inevitably adjust to the voices

 

[RadioHeadAche]

As someone who has watched this before, I will admit this show starts strong but eventually meanders and then kind of ends weak. Maybe you come to a different conclusion them me however.

That's how I felt.

 

[Mizerman]

Alright.

Parasyte has gotten me invested for the moment.

 

[Grexeno]

Why are you bolding the titles of shows

 

[kewlmyc]

So we replaced one show with creepy sex shit with another? That's just great.

That's pretty much it for the "creepy sex shit". It's build up for the introduction of a character later on.

Well, there's another "creepy sex shit" scene next episode, but that's played for laughs instead. Wonder if they'll edit it out or not.

 

[StarSketch]

Time for adventures in fugitive parenting

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Although often WILDLY inappropriate I still love the ending to Parasyte.

If I remember, wasn't it used pretty well in

Spoiler

the sex scene?

 

[Zubz]

I always love how a few gruesome murders that become big news in Japan would be so quaint by American standards. Well, love but also hate. You get the idea.

The degree, frequency, and almost-literally-inhuman-brutality would still have stuff like most of a person's skin being hung up like laundry making news in America, I assure you.

I'm really going to be disappointed when the quality drops; this show's pretty neat!

 

[Seda]

Oh, but I'm not here often. Only for certain things.

All I mean is that seeing live reactions is a large part of the enjoyment.

Like, several people in here probably would never have stomached SAO on their own, lol.
