I cannot explain how much I despise this show. This show had interesting characters with interesting personal struggles and problems and then the dude loses his heart and then the show becomes a shitty version trying to talk about the human psyche and It is so fucking pretentious and boring. I could not explain to any person how horrible this show is and I would never in my life recommend this boring, pretentious, drawn own, flaming pile of garbage to anyone.
This show attempts to explore what it means to be human and if people who do not understand emotions can be able to feel. This is the only good part of the show and the adult female alien (This show is so bad I forgot everyone's name) And I do enjoy this part of the show. But SPOILER ALERT!
The end fight and villain are essentially dropped out of nowhere and are almost pointless and add nothing to the story but to add another fight to Migi's battle reel. This show also has insanely boring and basic fight scenes that are essentially just flurries of swings over and over and over that have no interesting commentary.
I will never understand that someone can actually watch this show and not force themselves to finish. The characters are basic and boring and show that is meant to question the psychology of humans should add unique commentary. It is the same thing over and over, the main character says, "why don't I have emotion" over and over. The commentary this gives is not commentary at all because it doesn't apply to a situation that would exist. No human becomes replaced with alien parts and loses their emotions. Shows like Evangelion actually make you question shit and have a meaning behind it, commentating on how escapism can throw you farther into your issue instead of confronting it, but this show just questions what emotion is but the way they do it wouldn't actually apply because while Eva is set in a fantasy world with human stories, Parasite is set in a human world with completely ridiculous and non-human possibilities. If you want to question the human psyche, do it where you can relate to the character or understand their struggle. This character is almost flawless and the only flaw is a lack of emotion. If that Is the only flaw, at least make the character interesting or have interesting dialogue instead of making them boring as fuck.
If you see this review before you watch the show, please, save yourself from this dumpster fire of an anime and go watch something else.
