(Till here it sounds a lot like Tom Hardy’s ‘ Venom‘, doesn’t it?) The original host is obviously Shinichi but the parasite whose name Migi retains some space in his body with its own intellect and personality. So instead, the parasite just buries itself in Izumi’s arm, the result of which is two different hosts residing in the same human body. But in Shinichi’s case, a parasite that tries to enter his brain fails because he has his headphones on. But when they start entering the brains of human beings through their noses and ears, havoc is ensured everywhere on the planet. In their physical form, these aliens are probably harmless and are extremely tiny in size. But this peace is completely shattered when worm-like parasitic aliens invade the surface of Earth. The plot of ‘Parasyte’ centers around a 17-year-old boy named Izumi Shinichi who lives with his mom and dad in a peaceful neighborhood where they lead simple and peaceful lives. You can stream Parasyte Season 1 on Amazon Prime and Netflix with its original Japanese audio and English subtitles. But hoping for a new season is pretty much like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
If you want more of the parasitic action, you can always watch the two-part movie adaptations of this anime, which are not really on par with the anime but overall aren’t all that bad either.
Though, if you look closely, the plot of the first season ends exactly where the manga comes to an end, so that again indicates that a new season may never come unless Madhouse decides to take up an original anime storyline. In the unlikely scenario of the show getting renewed, Parasyte season 2 release date could be sometime in 2021. Now that can either indicate that there is a possibility of a new season or maybe it’s just the way the creators wanted to end the show. The last few episodes of the first season hint towards a possibility that there are a few parasites still remaining in the world, who co-exist with humans. It featured a total of 24 episodes with each being 23 minutes long. Parasyte season 1 premiered on October 9, 2014, and ended its run on March 29, 2015. Parasyte Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere? Those who have seen it are very well aware that it hasn’t been too long since the first season ended and so, there is some hope for another season of this remarkable wonder. If you are a sci-fi horror fan and haven’t seen the first season yet, then you should definitely give it a shot. The anime is quite tragic and it certainly affects you on an emotional level, so watch out if you get triggered too easily. It shows what some humans can be capable of in extreme situations regardless of being controlled by a parasite or not. What makes the whole “typical sci-fi” premise of the show stand out is its ability to focus more on human nature during like these and also the outlandish battles that follow these events. But it’s one crucial part of the anime because it reflects upon the scary reality of things and the nature of the parasites.
Within the first few seconds of the first episode, you start feeling that you’re in for something that is not going to go easy on your stomach. The show has literally no chill and right off the bat starts displaying brutal horror.
With some amazing shows like ‘Death Note’ and ‘One Punch Man’, Madhouse has a reputation that it has to live up to, and it certainly does so with the first season of ‘Parasyte -the maxim-‘. Madhouse Studio took it onto to create the anime version of the sci-fi manga ‘Parasyte Beasts’ in the year 2014 and the outcome of it is certainly not disappointing. But who knew that its anime adaptation could be even better. The original source material of this anime, which is a manga written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, first came out almost two decades ago and it was an instant hit back then.
