The show started in august of this year and is still being simulcast on crunchroll.com and it is currently on episode seven. If you plan on watching the show i suggest taking a look at an official summary at http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15855. If you like metal music then this series has a heck of an intro and closer. That aside however; it is quite a different show. Its focuses on sci-fi and horror and has a pretty good art style. As usual the main character starts off as a whimp, but shortly after that hardens himself in some kind of resolve that takes root (pun intended) in himself. Right off the bat you can also see the romance story, but that looks like it is going to be a background fan service that could possibly fuel filler arcs in the future. I think that this series has promise, but I’m still not entirely sure what to think about the series. It seems good, but I think that this is getting dark in an entertaining way much like that of Death Note, also (I might add) a great show that pushes the bounds of comfort-ability and morality. I won’t get into any spoilers, but I will say that they are very close in plot lines. If you would like up to date updates on multiple series I found this blog to be a nice source http://angryanimebitches.com/2014/11/parasyte-the-maxim-episode-7/ ; However it does have spoilers so if you go them be warned because I told ya so! Shout out to the people commenting thanks for the help you’ve even got me to try new things for this!
