First Reaction: Parasyte -the maxim-

After four episodes, I am seeing quite a few similarities between Tokyo Ghoul, an anime from last season. The show is summed up fairly simply. Parasites of unknown origin infect random humans and take control of their brain, with the main character being the exception. He is infected, but only in the right hand and arm. The parasite can think for itself and often disagrees with the main character on their next move. In general, the show can be gross. Really gross. I wouldn't suggest watching it while you eat, that's for sure. There are even some decent moments of comedy, but they are far and few between.



If this happened to you, what would you do?

"Google" it of course

So, the show is pretty much what I expected. Not a must watch so far, but depending on how the story develops it could become a good show. The animation is great in the fight scenes, but average elsewhere. Right now the show isn't good or bad, just meh. It tries too hard to be edgy and is barely interesting enough to watch. I wouldn't recommend it, yet, but that could change. The first four episodes definitely weren't very impressive. Nice opening though. Here, have a look.

A Look Ahead: Fall 2014 Anime Predictions

It is still early in the Fall #Anime season, but that won't stop me from making some fearless #predictions! I make these predictions without seeing any of them in action, just from what I know about the studio, director, and/or pictures I've seen. It will be interesting to see how many I get right. What will be the most popular? What will be the anime that disappoints? Let's find out! The first prediction is for best animation. And the winner is...

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade works(2014)

This was a pretty easy pick. Knowing Ufotable, it will look amazing. I am not so sure about the quality of the story, but it should look pretty and that is where it counts... Next up, The show everyone will watch and be talking about is...

Log Horizon 2

The first season was popular and it will appeal to a lot of different people. It has some one of the more compelling stories. I am hoping for some more development for the secondary characters, but being good would just be icing on the cake. Next I'll guess the best slice of life. The winner is...
