Great series. Loved it from beginning to end.
Great concept, great pacing, great story. Was thinking about this show for weeks after watching. 11/10
Ethics gets questioned, so does the role of humans in nature
Breathtaking action with a philosophical root. By the end of it I felt different.
An intriguing story that is beautifully drawn
Who is the real monster!? Us? Or the Parasytes? ..
A little gory but does not take away from the amazing animation and interesting story.
Definitely not for the squeamish. Very gory. Over all pretty solid plot and such. Recommend for avid anime watchers.
Gory, complex, and an original idea, definitely underrated show in anime. Usually recommended if you like action/horror anime, has humor tho
Really quite good, but sure does love to kill off women for the Man Pain.

Those within the city clung to the illusion of a peaceful existence until the day that dream was shattered, and their slim chance at survival was reduced to one horrifying choice: kill – or be devoured!
