The story is set in a world where alien beings called Parasites come to Earth. They start taking over humans by entering in through their noses and ears and attaching themselves to their brains. One alien called Migi is only able to take over high school student Shinichi Izumi's right arm, and is unable to control Shinichi completely. Migi and Shinichi learn to co-exist, and the two battle other Parasites who see humans only as food.

The manga covers seems to make me want to sh*t in my pants. If it aims to bring horror to the audience, the cover is enough for me.^^

I'm actually very surprised they decided to make an anime out of this....real odd series (But then again, after reading "another" odd Manga who am I to called really odd?), hell I barely remember reading one of the chapters back at 1998. It was in an old Mixx book, hell I *still* have the Mixx book, as one of the reasons why I hung onto that Mixx book was to look up more info on the series. Which I....errr.....ehehe never got around to doing (damn, I can get as lazy as Usagi Tsukino!

). I guess now is as good a time as ever, especially since they're now making an anime.

I must ask how this series is getting rebooted. This thing is so old.....

Live-action adaptation is the reason this is getting an anime (and I'm not complaining). Cross-promotion, synergy, all that.

Chiu_fan · 2013-11-20, 06:39

I've read random volumes of this in the past at bookstores and it heavily reminded me of on of my favorite Sci-fi horror films: John Carpenter's The Thing. I might like it so I'll give it a shot.

whitecloud · 2013-11-20, 07:41

anyone got scared?

Kanon · 2013-11-20, 10:19

I never thought this would get an anime, not after so long. I loved the manga so I'm eagerly looking forward to this. Give us Madhouse please.

Good horror is hard to come by, and I love horror movies myself.

Will definitely try this out once it airs.

Hollywood bought the rights for adaptation while it was still ongoing. They had to wait till the rights expired.

MisaoFan · 2013-11-20, 16:50

Real horror is pretty rare in anime and there's a trend of old school stuff rebooted for animation, so I think this one will be a good candidate.
Not really my thing because I don't like extreme take on violence beside straightforward stuff, but I'll look up the staff and see the first episode before I judge my own merits.

I was interested when I read the synopsis but after your description I'm very curious to see this one. I hope, like you, that they can keep up the horror. Haven't had a good horror show in ages.

This.

But I'm holding my excitement until they announce the studio and staff. Won't make the same mistake as Baby Steps. Though if Madhouse or something gets it and it results in a good adaptation, I'm calling this the candidate for best anime of whatever year it airs. It's manga is pretty fucking amazing.

Haohmaru · 2013-11-20, 23:27

Not just of the year, but one of the best tv series of all time imo. That's how much potential this series has. All we can hope for is a capable staff and studio. I'm thinking it'll be either I.G/WIT or Madhouse.

Holy shit. This was long overdue.

Yeah, you're telling me. When I told my brother about this bit of news yesterday, he said "Well what took them so long?". And I couldn't help but wonder that, either. I'm not 100% familiar with the anime industry, but it's not often a manga that is a decade or two old becomes a modern anime. So I can't help but wonder what it's style will be like with a new modern anime? Will it retain the style of the Manga or will it adopt a new and different style? And how close will the Anime adaption be with the original Manga?

Regardless, I'm definitely checking it out. With all these cliche Harem series coming out it's nice to see something a bit different for a change.

I posted the reason why it took so long above.
