It offers weighty action and some smart departures to complement a fearsome live-action portrayal of its famous monsters, but the characterization never reaches the same heights as the original.

Parasyte: The Grey has enough action to hold viewers’ interest, but the story of Su-in’s mutant existence is also what’s going to keep us watching.

I was skeptical that it was possible to reproduce the emotion, originality, and breathtaking pace of the masterful anime, but I was very wrong. Each episode shows insane animation and praying mantis reflex speeds of action and combat. The sheer danger these parasites pose to humankind is made plain and clear. Jeon So-nee plays the emotionally weakened and vulnerable protagonist; one cannot help but feel overwhelmed with mercy for her sorry plight from childhood into the series itself. The tragedies depicted in this series about the true human cost are quite moving. There is plenty of character growth as well, and there are debates around individuality versus collective objectives of existence. The series leaves you guessing about identity, with twists and turns at every junction. It was incredible to see a tie-in to the original anime in the last few seconds of the series. I most strongly desire a second series.
