The Big Picture When it comes to hilarious, thought-provoking creature features, no anime does it better than Parasyte: The Maxim. Based on the manga series by Hitoshi Iwaaki, this animation has entertained audiences for years with its depictions of the titular alien species' interactions with the human race. It's an effective blend of horror, science fiction, and action, yet throughout its many pulse-pounding moments the plot features some extremely complex themes.
Release Date April 5, 2024 Cast Koo Kyo-hwan , Jeon So-nee , Jung Hyun Lee Main Genre Sci-Fi Creator Hitoshi Iwaaki Streaming Service Netflix Seasons 1 Writers Ryu Yong Jae , Yeon Sang Ho Directors Yeon Sang Ho 'Parasyte' Was Never Just About Aliens While it's seen different iterations and reimaginings over the years, the themes of Parasyte's original story explain why the franchise has become so legendary.
Parasyte: The Grey immediately establishes its ability to mirror the original's famous action by showcasing some sickeningly amazing special effects in one of its first scenes. But beyond its great visuals, where the show excels the most is in displaying the emotional impact of these beings on the humans they interact with and, through Su-In, how proper communication and understanding could actually create a world where both races could survive — together.
Netflix's adaptation continues breaking down the differences between parasites and humans with its exploration of Seol Kyung-hee , a parasite working with a larger group of her alien kin under the guidance of their leader, the infected pastor Kwon Hyuk-joo . The pastor's goal is world domination, hoping to infect the entire world with parasites — and willing to kill some of his fellow aliens along the way if it means an easier path to more power.
