How to Make Old Manga Relevant (Ft. Parasyte & Devilman)

[@MrLuizilla]

"...Mustang killing Lust..." *shows footage of Mustang killing Envy*

[@Chikara31011]

[@doates625]

When you realize that not only is that Mustang killing Envy but Mustang didn't even actually kill Envy

[@theratking3075]

[@fs-vt8kz]

Roy Mustang. Better than a Hermit, Better than a Sage, Roasting Lust herself, TRULY an Alchemist.

[@Daniel-qi3qv]

Parasyte is one of my favorite animes not just for the action but because it has one hell of a story and character development.

[@NopeJustPatrick]

*Daniel Art* - The psychological aspect of the characters was very interesting, even if some of the characters seemed a bit unrealistically obtuse at times(however, that was likely something they intended as it helped accentuate the strange lack of parasite detection and the strange cold intelligence of many of the parasites).

[@camden2051]

Shine hi and migi’s character development was one one of the best I’ve seen

[@mdv9831]

When Shinichi cried after that parasyte lady died, I was on the verge of tears. It was so impactful. I went in expecting an ok 6/10, but ended up watching a 10/10

[@AwesomeAutismHC]

I think one of my favorite things about it was Shinichi’s dub actor. He was able to PERFECTLY capture the terrified bafflement of everything going on around him, and then his complete detachment from it after Migi repaired his heart.

[@AxelWedstar411]

Become an anti-hero called 'Handyman'.

[@mothersbasement]

This is the new official american name for Parasyte. Thank you for your service.

[@gabriel300010]

guys something is wrong, it says the comment was made 31 minutes ago, but the answer made give 40 minutes ago. did you mess up with the mirowave again jeff? your mom is going to get soooo pissed

[@dapperparraper860]

this so if handyman signs up for a job what would it be called

[@ZayitsII]

And after Shiinichi's transformation due to having to be healed by Migi, he'll keep the low profile by faking his death to fool the parasite impersonating his mother, and will take on a new codename Handsome.

[@bethanydavis9023]

Hopefully he doesn't do halfway hand jobs. You need to be very hands on with your opponents after all.

[@Kyotosomo]

Parasyte was really good. Pacing is really important to me so I often knock a lot of anime series for being too long, but Parasyte is one of the very few shows I'd knock for being too short. I really would have loved to see them explore more society after the invasion plus I feel like the power level of the enemies escalated really quickly at the end and could have been done slower.

[@NopeJustPatrick]

Kyotosomo - I think it could have done better with more parasite interactions, that way we could have had that much more time for him to realistically progress in skill. It would have upped the action a bit, gave us some more of his and his parasite's character, and given us more hints at the wider view of the parasite's global "infection".

[@thomasjess5029]

Kyotosomo Now that you mention it, I would have liked to see how Goto became what he is. I mean did they take the larva of four parasites and infected each limb while tying a rope around them or did they just move the infected heads of hosts and turned them into limbs?

[@NopeJustPatrick]

Thomas Jess - Most likely the heads into a host, otherwise they wouldn't each be capable of taking over as the head(that's one of the reasons the Protag Parasyte didn't just take over his body after the midnight struggle. I think the logic had to do with needing to consume and convert a certain amount of matter, and that they also needed to see how human brains control the body I order to do it themselves).

[@thomasjess5029]

Patrick That makes the most sense. At one point early on, Shinichi and Migi encounter a parasite controlled human who offers Migi to jump ship in the form of his right arm. Also Goto could shape-shift his arm into a head after Miki failed to kill them.

[@NopeJustPatrick]

Thomas Jess - Yep, it's basically a rectangle-square kinda thing. Heads can become limbs, but limbs need to be heads first.

[@camicsandmango9643]

It's a bit of a weird direction for the franchise to go in to go in, but I think Parasyte is a good sequel to Midori Days. Really adds a lot to the canon.

[@NopeJustPatrick]

Camics and Mango - Midori Days was the sequel.

[@yomama8212]

[@morningmorgan6341]

Toonami ?

[@manracmolactrac]

I'm actually a big fan of Lupin III's modern take/use of social media. At first it seems like it's just tacked on, but as the season has progressed there's been some very clever manipulation of people's thoughts and actions by Lupin and Friends through the social media situation they find themselves in. Great Video as always

[@jambondepays1969]

I am 90% sure that Lupin Game thing was inspired by He Will Not Divide Us, or at the very least by 4chan and imageboard culture in general

[@manracmolactrac]

Jambon De Pays Seems believable. If so that's pretty cool writing to include that sort of topical modern thing without it feeling really tacky - which I don't think it is.

[@JohnSmith-bf8kv]

Actually, Crybaby's screenwriter Ookouchi Ichirou is involved in the new Lupin. I like the main concept but Ami is just way too Chyunibyou to fit in the Lupin franchise and Lupin's character is going off track imo.... Plus Ookouchi is pretty infamous for writing Chyunibyou stuff in Guilty Crown and Kabaneri.... Hope this doesn't start to suck half way.

[@jambondepays1969]

You clearly don't understand what chuunibyou means given that you mispelled it, capped it for no reason, and also used to describe a character that isn't a chuuni at all. Seriously, what do you think it means? There are no chuunis in Kabeneri or Lupin part V. Kaido from Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan is a chuuni, the only category Ami would fit in would be kuudere and oh my god why do i know so much about this

[@Basileus127]

Agreed, Ami can't be "way too Chuuni" because she isn't chuuni at all. I can't really say that Lupin's character is going off track either since he's been a lot of different things in each adaptation to begin with. The original Lupin III from the 70s manga was way darker than any anime version. This Lupin feels pretty similar to the other "blue jacket" Lupin from the previous anime so it feels like there is continuity there.

[@linehp_9606]

WARNING: this video has spoilers for devilman crybaby. It’s an excellent anime and you should really watch it blind to the story, if you aren’t screamish about dark stories, violence and sex, lots of all of that... it’s great though.

[@bethanydavis9023]

I'll most likely forget about spoilers in a month or so and then watch it.

[@kuraiendow]

Tanice Dashney 😆😭

[@CornishCreamtea07]

I'm sure they said they were updating it to current day, which is sort of a disappointment, since the Manga looks like a period piece.

[@TerraRose21]

The main plot is based on the idea that there was a conspiracy during WWII and it affected the main character because his big brother was involved in it. That can be updated to another war without too much trouble tho.

[@XogeiD]

Case in Point: The great success that Gegege no Kitaro is enjoying vs. the failed adaptation of Cutie Honey Universe.

[@tanookitoad979]

XogeiD Nu-taro is only successful because of brand recognition and because it moe-fied neko musume to appeal to otaku who only care about cute girls. It'll look SUPER dated in about 10 years.

[@XogeiD]

Both shows looks super dated and both shows used some fanservice techniques, Cutey Hones has 5 famous Seiyuu voicing the MC, just to try to bank of their pull, BESIDES the nature of the show itself. If we talk about brand recognition, CH should at least stand side to side to Kitaro as the brainchild of Go Nagai, the original "rule of cool" show, the show that introduced fanservice to anime, the very "social norms transgressor", the inspiration for transformation sequences, etc. But it seems that no name or title can save you from technical failures.

[@tanookitoad979]

XogeiD >cutie honey introduced transformation sequences Trying not to be an ass but no, himitsu no akko chan was arguably the first. Created by the MASSIVELY influential fujio akatsuka, it was considered the first magical girl manga on the whole, and only a little bit shy of first shoujou anime. its a not a total cultural mainstay like some of his other works (osomatsu-kun, bakabon, moretsu ataro) but is still very much important.

[@XogeiD]

I'm not saying it invented them, but both the original and F became pretty much the refenrence for transformations, F showing that you could still innovate and compete with Sailor Moon.

[@izuto727]

That Fucking Fish i actually hate her new design, i think her design in yokai watch movie looks cute

[@double2helix]

Damn Parasyte is so good, when I watched it the first time I had no idea what it was. I only gave it a shot because it was the only interesting thing on Chrunchyroll at the time after only one episode I was hooked. It was awesome waiting week after week for a new episode to come out and when everything was wrapped up I was delighted by how complete it was everything was tied up and no sequel in sight. I really love this show it's odd how I almost forgot about it.

[@warp_skip]

I just finished Parasyte and it was awesome. I was super surprised to find out that it's such an old manga.

[@justwow768]

Shiniji had a bad case of "anime-mom-is-a-plot-device" syndrome.

[@NopeNaw]

Shinichi, not Shiniji. Every character is a plot device in relation to other characters.

[@justwow768]

Nope Naw whoops, haven't seen the anime in a while. But it is shinichi lmao. Weeell Shinichi wasn't a plot device to his mom.

[@NopeNaw]

Not from the vantage point of Shinichi, but from Nobuko's vantage point Shinichi would be one of the most important focal points of her life, because he is her son. As such, he becomes a plot device for her development (albeit limited, because she's a supporting character, not the protagonist), most notably when catching the pot of boiling oil and getting the scar, in order to save young Shinichi from it.

[@justwow768]

Nope Naw perspective is important in storytelling, I remember that scene. Really helped Shinichi and co to develop their characters as the show progressed.

[@morimoto5768]

Shiniji or shinichi is the same. It wasn't written in alphabet since shinichi is a kanji word but spelled with alphabet to make outsiders understand how to spell the name. It could be shiniqi sheeneechee sinichi

[@tdfern1]

I wonder, if old Manga from the 1980s & 1990s are making a comeback in anime form, I wonder if 50-80 years later, we may see Manga & light novels from the 2000s to the early 2010s to become relevant again, like say for example, Rosario Vampire manga might get a proper anime adaptation reboot years later.

[@mothersbasement]

I want the P5 animation to do something to redeem itself as well, but based on the track record of adaptations like this I'm not holding out hope.

[@TheAssirra]

Honestly, considering how huge the persona games are, i just dunno why they keep trying to make an anime out of the game stories. I really feel they would have been a lot better if they started somewhat the same but then go completely different to still have a satisfying story to watch but in less time, just as alternative.

[@terminator561000]

Mother's Basement exactly. I wouldn’t have mind to wait longer for an animation release if it mean good pacing and better animation, besides a less bland Ren. And it’s A-1 studios, i don’t understand what are they doing, considering that they had done a good job with previous animes.

[@terminator561000]

Assirra I wouldn’t mind either, but you there’s something wrong when the anime cutscenes from the game are better than the anime itself.

[@TheAssirra]

I know, a lot less work went into them clearly. The work that went into P5 style has to been a gigantic task and it makes it all the more impressive.

During this video, talking about modernization, my first thought was also about Clear Card and the use of smart phones so I'm glad you brought it up.

[@ViewtifulZeke]

I didn't get into the Parasyte anime. I just couldn't get over the changes they made to it. I read the original manga, and it's one of my favourite manga of all time. The changes to Shin's character over time, the upped stakes, everything is on this weird quasi-grand scale. But when I see clips from the anime, I don't see Parasyte. I see something *trying* to be Parasyte. At the most surface level, it doesn't *look* like Parasyte. The original manga had a somewhat unique look to it (as manga is want to do) and the anime doesn't even come close to capturing that. I get that they wanted to bring it into the modern day, but there was no need to do that. Yes it adds some bits with the whole aspect of modern technology, but there really was no reason for why it couldn't be a period piece.

[@Temujin18S]

ViewtifulZeke Agree same way I feel Devilman which took many liberties with the manga

[@HaohmaruHL]

ViewtifulZeke could have just treated it as a reboot, new story or a spin off and still enjoy it..

[@ViewtifulZeke]

It's none of those things, though.

[@iliveinsideyourhouse1367]

The only reason i liked parasyte manga more than anime cause it doesnt censored the violent scenes lol

[@ViewtifulZeke]

I have since gone back and watched the anime (although skipping the first episode and starting with the second and third episode instead) and I did in fact enjoy it. Granted, I still think I would've enjoyed it more if it was closer to the original manga than the anime is. Little things like how Satomi switches from holding Shin's right hand to holding his left hand changes the dynamic of the characters. In the original manga it's Shin that changes hands when Satomi starts inspecting his right hand. To touch on something mentioned in this video, namely when Shin picks up the spider (or cockroach in the original). In the manga it's not there to humanize Shinichi, it's literally there to do the complete opposite. To show how Shinichi is acting different, less human, and how his mother is subconsciously picking up on it. Because the entire point of the story is how Shinichi is gradually becoming less and less human and his way back to humanity from that realization. Edit: I'll give the anime one giant plus point, though, the ED song. It hits super hard, especially in some of the more sad parts of the story.

DaveMania01 oh wow, I wasn't alone lol xD

[@cherpop8598]

I'm hyped too! At first the modern setting had me worried but after seeing this video I think there's a chance it'll work out really well

[@ExcelExcel]

I just picked up Parasyte and it's so god damn good! Thanks for the rec.

[@ryancarless7921]

Unfollow or die sounds interesting. I'm currently doing Instagram so it's strangely relatable..sorta

[@DarthJoshReturns]

I bet the Nostalgia Critic and Digibro are already dead.

[@wiccanavalley3518]

I started watching parasyte again recently. Just finished it up, and as I was getting ready to go to bed (by listening to the amazing OST of course) I somehow stumbled across a video of yours I haven't seen, and a recent one at that!

[@greenhillnerdnew8148]

but you used BING

[@sp00kyamvs99]

Im so happy that you went over Parasyte because I loved Parasyte and the great character development. Thank your Mother's Basement.

[@DrUniverso]

how can i put on a portuguese subtitle? where do i click?

[@stitchesandhockey]

Your videos are my favorite. I always come away having learned something and gaining really interesting and fresh perspective.

[@titanicww2345]

Parasyte is so much better than Tokyo Ghoul.

[@Exel3nce]

titanicww2345 what are we talking about here

[@stephaniesalazar2794]

I agree!

[@zeroix612]

titanicww2345 i think tokyo ghoul is better as a series. The manga does a way better job than the anime of tg.

[@StillAwesome21]

Anime yes, Manga no.

[@kostajovanovic3711]

+TheSkywalker21 debatable for manga

[@LostWallet]

i like Parasite opening. still got the song in my playlist

[@papyrus4977]

I dont want to live after just watching Vilot Evergarden

[@papyrus4977]

Tempest OOOOOOOHHHHH MMMMMMYYYYYY GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD I dont mind spoilers but at least we can agree that the anime is great

[@CosmicFisherman]

Thanks for making me want a new Guyver anime even more than I already did.

[@VyNyLoKo6]

Yay finally im early

[@mothersbasement]

NOTIFICATION SQUAD PERKS!

[@dokuta]

cebolinha CLYBABY

[@justinjeffries9248]

Holy fuck I wasn't ready for this. The minute you showed his mom's face reading the paper I started to tear up. Fuck.

[@davidattenborough1631]

Wait Parasyte is from the 80s? Well that explains the preachy environmental message...

[@davidattenborough1631]

Just FYI it's easily in my top ten faves, I'm just saying, it gets preachy

[@themachinesmith9920]

Ethan Miller The environmental message felt forced, unnecessary, and out of place in an otherwise amazing show.

[@profeseurchemical]

also its lack of understanding of nonhuman animals

[@Kaijiboyyy]

Moments that stuck with me were, well, pretty much all from the Kaiji anime. Dude I'd love it if you talked more about kaiji

[@franzb69]

but are we gonna get a second season?

[@Titaniumbunny24]

Really great video. I always appreciate when you take such interesting and out of the box takes on what makes certain Anime work so well.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

LOL That moment when you discover Parasyte has been around for a long time after just finishing the series on Netflix and wondering why no one is talking about it ;p

[@nayannmartinelli300]

Great analysis as usual! I just wanted to add, though, a tidbit: The scene with Miki you mention, I think it is meant to show both the best and worst aspects of social media and anonymity; a lot of people just bash her and call out for her head (which, damn, was pretty sad and awful), but it also allow for the Devilmen of the world to find about each other and band together for the final battle. The Internet disseminates hatred, but it can also bring together people who feel isolated and alone.

[@dojee8993]

Parasyte rocks!

[@stcage3159]

The Al Gore twinkle in his eye throw away line made me do a spit take. This is the content I sub for, thank you.

[@lucass2089]

I honestly never watched parasyte, maybe I should

[@Bcast64]

Olive Oil its kind of boring

[@Dorma_]

it's a similar style of story to Tokyo ghoul, so if you like that then you'll love parasyte

[@zeroix612]

Olive Oil its really good but takes a little bit to get used to at first (well when I 1st watched it).

[@freewaytf]

How can these people not appreciate something as good as Parasyte lmao It's one of the best works of Madhouse studios, it has incredible writing, it's smart and relatable instead of being predictable and stupid like 99% of anime nowadays, it's a thought provoking story adorned with a unique soundtrack, good animations during the action scenes (as per usual with madhouse) and overall great execution. It's one of those anime that anybody should watch if you've got the stomach for some of the more gruesome scenes. That's the only thing that would keep someone from watching it

[@zeroix612]

freeway the only critique i would really have about parasyte is that a lot of the ppl (besides some of the main characters and antagonists) aren't the brightest minded when i rewatched the show.

[@EnkiduW]

I really loved how devilman used the internet, social media and information manipulation throughout the story, it even is a sortve explanation for why it was so short, the way information is shared instantly it makes sense that the truth about demons would cause world wide chaos overnight and bring everything to a head so much quicker

[@lonely2457]

Legenda por favor!!!!!

[@ghabrielF]

ele ja falou que quem faz as legendas são voluntários, então tem que esperar os caras traduzirem

[@FlameHidden]

Bota no assistir mais tarde e volta daqui a um dia que ja deve ter. Esses videos com legenda sao assim. O pewdiepie por exemplo tbm tem, mas os deles sao mais rapidos porque... ne, pewdiepie

[@LucasBenettG]

daqui a algumas horas alguem deve ter legendado calma

[@azura4682]

Quero aaaaaaaaaaa

[@Misimi]

Eu son galego

[@TheMarq16]

I've never heard of this anime until today. This premise is amazing. Gonna binge now.
