This is definitely the most worth watching anime in recent years (although it is banned, but there is a movie version). When it comes to cannibalism, many people think of Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan for the first time. But I think Parasite is definitely better than both.
In the end, everyone remembers the super-burning line "it's not me, it's the world" at the end of Tokyo Ghoul. Indeed, after reading Kaneki's experience, you will find it very suitable for this sentence (of course this sentence The words may also be borrowed from Lelouch). The giant is also very good in terms of plot, and the desperation and desolation of the apocalypse is also a good contrast to the fact that some people want to pursue freedom. The difference between the two is that the parasitic beast is the only one with philosophical reflection, and the problem of reflection is also what we all need to pay attention to now. One thing in common is that the protagonists are all half human and half others (it seems that this setting feels cool?) But we can feel that in the parasitic beast, the male protagonist and Xiaoyou are actually two living beings, with two minds, this is the different places.
Humans advocate caring for animals, but they kill animals for food on the grounds that killing for survival is permissible and maintaining the balance of the ecological circle. But one day, a species also kills human beings for such reasons, and human beings are timid and retreat. The scene where humans exterminate parasitic beasts later also shows that many creatures are really tiny compared to humans. We will never know what to do if we become tiny compared to other creatures. What is the criterion of life, it seems that humans can kill whatever species they want to kill, but life may not have a criterion.
To reveal, it is said that the original author Yan Mingjun originally wanted to make this theme into a romantic comedy. The right hand of the male protagonist was suddenly occupied by other creatures, and then a series of daily comedies occurred. After this idea was proposed, the people around at the time thought it was not good, so Iwaaki changed his mind. I don't know if I should be happy.
