mm.. i'm not sure about this. i mean, i liked the episode a lot, but kiseijuu is not your regular hot blooded shonen. The manga itself had a very minimalist style, and that wasn't reflected from the get-go. Still going to watch it cos its a good manga

I remember reading the manga of this a long time ago and I loved it, so I was looking forward to this. And I was not disappointed in the slightest, I'm following the anime to the end guaranteed. This is top tier stuff.
The changes don't bother me at all, and I'm totally digging Aya Hirano's voice as Migi. |

It's no big deal either. I just felt like the show didn't leave me feeling on the edge like I was expecting

ep 1
Been a while since I've seen a Madhouse show feel like... a Madhouse show. This adaptation certainly seems to fit them like a glove.
I haven't read the original manga despite meaning at one point some I'm going to this pretty blind. Plus I won't worry about having to be disappointed in anything! That said, was pretty strong premiere in my books. The story already hints at some directions it might be going under the whole alien invasion threat such as the co-existences between Shinichi and... his hand and relationships between the aliens themselves. Also chances are if this little guy could fail to take over our MC properly hen it's likely that many more people like him who didn't get their brains eaten after encountering them too. Whatever case I'm looking forward how this plays out. Way too many quality looking shows this Fall, I'm going to be pretty hard to keep my 5 show season rule at this rate.

Does it really matter? I'm one of first people to roll my eyes at such a pretty cliche thing, but in context it was clearly Shinichi's sentiment hand that did it. It's not any different then it's other actions it took out of curiosity.

...AND this is the reason why I don't understand why it took so frigging long to get an anime adaptation. Source is obviously excellent, and coupled with top notch voice acting (Hirano really got it right while I'm quite surprised HanaKana didn't pull out her usual HanaKana voice for timid girls; runaway winner though is Nobunaga's MC), and it really brought the show to life.
Better late than never I guess.

Shinji's parasite operates mostly on logic with a bit of instinct. It doesn't seem like he can take over Shinji right now, which means his best course of action is to try to build a good relationship with Shinji. If he becomes too much of a burden to Shinji, Shinji can cut him off during the 4 hours he has rest. If Shinji dies, he dies, so he can't control Shinji with violence either or put him in harm's way.

Oh wow. That was really good. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, though I knew the manga source has received high praise. Quite impressive! And yes, the bgm, OP and ED all work extremely well for me too. The visuals are pretty good, not ravingly stupendous, but hey - as a whole this was definitely one of the best premiers for me this season. Kudos to MadHouse again on this one. Now if only it will keep the level of excellence it set in ep one (or even turn it up a notch).... I will be following this one.

Finally got around to watching the first episode. I get the feeling this may be one of those times where I like the anime more then the manga it was adapted from. I like the manga, but I don't quite have the same amount of high praise as some others. My only complaint for this episode would be that sometimes it felt like the bgm was overpowering the scenes.
