I finally finished the last 12 episodes in the past couple days after putting this on-hold for a few months. It was a solid show overall, 7/10, but the last quarter/third of the show was definitely not up to par with the beginning. I didn't really like how the show got so preachy at the end about "environmentalism" and precious Mother Earth. I felt like I was getting preached to by Miyazaki for the last few episodes and you could definitely tell that the manga material was a bit dated from that. Anyway, I had fun and enjoyed it but it failed to live up to the hype and the excellent start imo.

An awesome anime which questions human vaules. Best thing about this series was the lack of useless cringy scenes which we normally see in this type of anime. Definitely recommended from my side!

As far as I've seen looks really great and although the design of characters aren't of my style, I'm enjoying so much.

An action anime that feels like a superhero tale, but the hero shares his body with a parasite species that gives him the power.

The plot is interesting enough, what you would expect from an action anime - the protagonist must save others from his city from the parasytes, creatures with the power More
