Parasyte - the maxim

[Kraco]

"They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade - and take control of - a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret - except an ordinary high school student. Shinichi is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?" -Manga-Updates

I read the manga ages ago and it only left me with good memories. This first episode brought back those good memories, and thus I'd consider it a success. Just the first half a minute gets straight to the point and reveals what sort of a gruesome story this is, despite occasional funny moments. Like the dude noticed himself, the parasyte was well depicted being quite alien and without human sympathy. That's always good, even if by the necessity of sharing the same body they must form an allience of a sort.

I'll keep watching till the end, that's for sure. A very nice addition to this super season of anime.
