Parasyte

9/10 10/10(Brutality)

Parasyte is an anime about well, you guessed it parasites that invade the human body giving them super natural abilities but, most parasites destroy their hosts' brain. This kills the human and allows the parasite to roam freely using their body.

Parasyte is pretty gory and is one of my all time favorites. Mainly because it never held back and it always tried to out do itself. Much like its' brethren in the brutal spectrum you can expect parasyte to deliver nightmarish deaths and great fights! Parasyte follows Shinichi as he is able to keep the parasite he names "Migi" out of his brain; together they combat other parasites to survive in their cruel world. Of course things between Migi and Shinichi don't exactly start off great as you would imagine I mean how would you feel if you were a belt loop away from death? The two set aside their differences to survive and it is nice to see them develop ways to fight people as a two man team rather than a one man army.

The main strength of Parasyte is the way the story is told. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and really brings you into their world to give you a little taste of what it is like to be in their world. It spends just enough time explaining what is going on instead of telling you about what happens if the birds fly in the wrong direction or how many hit points you'll lose if that happens unlike some series and instead goes for a more compact relevance based approach which helps them out a lot. Shinichi is a pretty good main character despite my early dislike of him he is a real ass-kicker when he puts his mind to it especially towards the end. The only real weakness of parasyte may be its' side characters in general I felt like they could have done more with them but, I also understand that they aren't the main characters so it is expected for them to not be quite as thought out as Migi and Shinichi are.

Unfortunately Parasyte only got one season as the ending is pretty cut and dry giving us little to no room for any second season even if we wanted one. So, enjoy it while you can because there is so very little of it. This anime is fairly popular in most anime circles and will most likely come up in anyone who knows anything about anime's top most brutal list. Even with the brutality the anime actually has an okay love story for those of you who wants some love and gore at the same time(crazy ass Yanderes). Though, I will warn you the love doesn't come till the end.

In conclusion, Parasyte is a great anime for someone looking to have a short starter if you have a tough stomach. I wouldn't show it to anyone who isn't mentally prepared to see someone get liquefied on a show or, a girl on your first date less she ask you about it. However, if you are someone who has seen some brutal anime or are looking to get into it I would highly recommend Parasyte to you!

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica

8.5/10 Ever wonder what happens to the hero after the story is over? Well this anime is here to show you just that! With Akatsuki defeating the 'Satan' of another world he is returned to his world after reaping the benefits of his new found powers along with his reward of taking custody of Satan's daughter. With Akatsuki returning to his world he is forced into the Babel program which helps people integrate into society with their new found powers like a tournament setting more or less. During this Akatsuki will fight other people with similar powers to his to see who really is the best 'Hero'. With some fan-service here and there this action show should be enough to tide you over while you wait for a new show to come out! Lets get this straight Akatsuki is the hero I would be if I was a hero lax a fuck and really carefree. He is the protagonist you want in any anime as he is not afraid to take advantage of any situation no matter how weird it may be thoug...

Death March

7.5/10 Hey guys, I'm back with yet another anime review. Something a little different this time as we're going to review one that isn't actually complete yet. I thought that people were really ragging this anime down with no chance and because of this I have decided to do a review even though, it is not finished. Let's jump into this one right away this one may be longer than others as I try to argue a better opinion to this anime than it's previous reviewers. Death March is about a game programmer named Satou(or Sazuki Ichirou) that is suddenly transported into another world with some gimmicks from the game he was creating tagging a long for the ride. Many people and I do mean many people have consecutively shat upon this anime without really ever giving it a chance. While their concerns are certainty noteworthy and a lot of their arguments valid here is what they aren't really telling you. One of the many things that has happened in the past year or...

Interviews with Monster-girls

8/10 Heading back into the lighter things this anime is about a teacher that wants to learn more about the "Demi-Chan's" that live in our world. Things like vampires, werewolves, succubus, and other mythical beings are genetic defects in this world. This is a light-hearted anime made for people who want to relax and chill out with a good laugh here and there. This show mostly follows the teacher Tetsuo who wants to make a journal of various Demi-chans that are from around the world. He is fairly reliable, likable, and is pretty smart as far as anime main characters go. There are some attempts at fan-service and romance but, this show mostly sticks to its' guns with the whole just being a show about interviewing thing. Which I have to admit is a nice change of pace. I like my monster-girls as much as the next guy but, recently it may be too much so, this is a nice new take on it considering the fact that they even tried to get all scientific about it. The main s...
