Parasyte: The Maxim (2014–2015)
10/10
A mirror on the face of human society
11 May 2015
Today when I sit to write about this series, I honestly fail to write anything bad about this series. In the past couple of years we have seen shows of immense potential and sheer popularity, a la SnK (a big fan here). However, I would this show is even better made than SnK.

All the elements like action, drama, good soundtrack, romance are present and by Gods grace not just for the sake of it. It's a cocktail of these things added in the accurate proportion that give it the real natural feel.

But according to me the real meat of the show is the character development of Shinichi and Migi. How they slowly and organically come to understand each other better as the show progresses. The philosophical talks they have and the justifications of their actions.

If not absolute it surely is a master of character development.

P.S.: Music is one of the best I have heard, after SnK.

Can't honestly give is less then 10.

10/10. Go watch it. It will show you we are.

Epic in the making
31 October 2014
In the ocean of animes, you find only a few gems. Most of them are roughs, but this one is cut.

This series boasts of Yuki Kaji (Eren: Attack on Titan fame) at the helm, with Hiroyuki Sawano (Again Attack on Titan fame) commanding the music and composition with **PERFECT** blend of humor, epic badassery and great emotional quotient while creating an universe with potential of grand scale wars.

I particularly like the main lead who seems the smallest but is actually the strongest with a idealistic mindset, I know, I know it's total shounen, but also shows a gleam of maturity which makes you wonder what he can do when he is angry. Am really waiting for it to see.

Another high point in the series is the interaction between the various Sins till now, they are different from each other like ice and fire, but remain together with a strong both. This makes the lead the most impressive that he can manage such diverse powers and knit them in a group.

Music is top notch as expected which creates the tensions extraordinarily. If at all just listen to the music, it's just awesome.

The pig is another character which serves as the friend and brother of our protagonist (again unusual interactions) and is the great comic element of the show.

I would say just go and watch it. It's fun and has something for everyone.

I would like to give it 9.5/10. But I will give it 10, for it warms my heart with its incredible music and great storyline. **PERFECT**.

Beautiful to its core... perk for people with depth... just an experience...
24 January 2013
What can I say about this movie? It just moves you inside so deep. Just plays with your soul, in a very beautiful way. And leaves you with a smile in the end. :)

The way Sam understand and see people to the depth.

The way gay men have been portrayed.

The way complex relationships have been dealt with.

And the way a very serious matter that flows under the whole movie, virtually being its underpinning and yet subtle.

A master work from the director.

And an amazing return for Emma Watson herself into the mainstream movie beyond Harry Potter.

Not always will you see this kind of treatment of a subject.

Just go and feel it. :)

P.S.: This movie left me speechless and IMDb is forcing me to review at least 10 lines... how am I gonna do that??? :(
