God's work is not full, but it makes people think deeply.

Recently, the live-action version of Parasitic Beast was released. After watching it, my friend said that it was very good. I was not interested in the live-action movie adapted from anime, so I went to watch the TV version of Parasitic Beast. After watching it, I felt ok. It's just some old-fashioned settings and a slightly pale plot that make this show not up to the standard of a masterpiece.
Let’s talk about the best part first, that is the music. The electronic style of the OP and the soundtrack is very appealing to me. The electronic sound also makes the show more modern. The rapid change of the scene during the fight and the node of the electronic sound Together, the audio-visual effects are very enjoyable, and the small and fresh style of ED is also good, which is in line with the theme of this drama.
The second is the plot. As an animation party, I don’t know how much it has been adapted from the original work, but I think this very tense work does not perfectly reflect the tension. The detective can actually be more ups and downs and more meaningful. , when I saw that the uncle was going to throw away Tamiya Ryoko's child, I knew that he would not succeed. As expected, he was killed and the child was taken away. When he died, he was simply promoting the plot. effect only. In fact, it is very necessary to be able to make some small characters very plump, especially this kind of film that is carefully watched. The protagonist and Ryoko Tamiya are the protagonists in this relatively plump one. Although Ryoko Tamiya dropped the line in the middle, it was a bit of a rhythm, but the later episodes of infighting and guarding the child are quite good.
Finally, some small rants. The subdivision of the supporting roles is very small or the intention is too simple. As a work that is carefully watched, it always feels perfunctory. The first female, the second female, the detective, the policeman, and the human mayor, if these characters can be portrayed more carefully Point, the tension and depth of the plot will definitely be greatly improved, rather than a simple theme. Then there is the setting. The setting of the male protagonist who started wearing glasses and then took off and changed his hairstyle really embarrassed me. It smells like 20 years ago. Although it was originally 20 years ago, I can't help but show Then the 3D model dummies in the animation are really embarrassing to look at. Is it so difficult to draw a background? In the end, the fighting scenes that are the highlights are not very satisfactory. There is still a gap between them and the ghouls. This should be the gap between the production companies.
So my evaluation of this one is 4.5 points for music, 4 points for plot, and 3 points for animation. However, the ideas and themes of this film are still good. Life and death, man and nature, are always the subjects of human beings. At the same time, it is still necessary to have some thought-provoking works in the era of meat selling and rotten animation domination, so 4 stars overall. Recommend everyone to see it.
