Parasyte Movie adaptation

Posted by Doomroar - July 25th, 2014


So i did a post entitled "Best month of the year, for different reasons." and just as i resigned to think that life couldn't really get better than that... Jared Africa decided to show his still alive face, and then recently this happened:

 

Apparently the greatest manga that i ever read Parasyte is getting a live action movie, and i know those normally end being an insult to their adaptations, but look at that video is gorgeous!

Here's the translation of what the narrator is saying (Courtesy of Anime News Network):

"If half of the human race would disappear, would the amount of forests burned also be halved? If the human race was decreased to one-hundredth, would the amount of trash produced do the same? Someone on the earth thought this for just a moment."

It will be released in 2 parts the 1st part will be this November 25 2014 and then the second part in 2015.

Parasyte is a 1995 manga, that ask about the role that we humans serve on this planet, mixed with some wonderfully executed Sci-Fi horror elements, and plenty of violence and carnage, one of the best things to ever be produced on Japan and now is getting a movie adaptation, Tokyo Tribe another great manga and anime is also getting a live action adaptation.

Now about the anime of Parasyte... well it is going to be trash so why should i mention it?

"they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces."
Sounds like the doppleganger from D&D. Except their not parasitic and all that. I suppose that adds a bit more of an edge to it. Japan has their horror movie formula down. they've got this.

I wish for you to be right, but they also have a history of ruining adaptations, but time will tell, the only thing i can do is wait and see the result, however this movie not only needs to be good on its own but has to redeem the anime adaptation, because they already demonstrated an incredible poor judgement whit that, what has been shown makes me want to hunt the people involved with that anime and systematically kill all of them and their families, such a bad job.

Cool anime!! Unfortunately I'm a bit turned off by anime ATM. In particular one show...Attack of the Titan looked great the first few episodes...then went down hill real fast

Dr S3C you will need to try better if you want to troll me, if you read this blog you can clearly know that i am talking about the movie not the anime, because the anime is an insult in itself, a thing that should have never been made. As for AoT even the manga is not really that good, so i agree there.

Seems like the world "troll" is thrown around too liberally these days...maybe I misspoke anyway. I know it's highly blasphemous (and viewed as egregiously stupid to a certain degree) within the Otaku culture but a casual anime fan such as myself groups anime/manga/japanese based art under the blanket term "anime". So I could have said "cool post in regards to the anime world!!" but I suppose that would not be entirely acceptable either when held under close scrutiny from an Otaku. IMO, live action films will always trump their respective animes when they are rich in sci-fi & action elements and less personal reflections about power levels from the characters (which typically comprise atleast 1/3 of a cartoon episode).

So you call the movie adaptations of comics cartoons? XD.

Anyway i understand, but the reason why i assumed you were trolling me when you said "cool anime" is because the animated adaptation of Parasyte (yes written like that) at this point has shown to be an aberration to the original material in which these adaptations are based on, so when someone even if by mistake seems to call that thing "cool", then only trolling could come to my mind, and is of course greatly my fault for being so edgy about it.

I will give you some context:

The crimes of that abomination go beyond the cliche moments of filler that don't add anything to the story which are so common in the world of Japanese animation, in away the whole thing can be seen as a filler production.
This thing has its nefarious roots of heresy in the very process of defacing the original story, those processes are the redesigns that they are giving to the characters, the environment and aesthetics of the whole story known as Parasyte, of course these changes include the addition of (side)stories involving useless background characters that would enter to play more roles than needed devouring and hoarding screen time (and it all seems to point, that these new scrip additions will serve the purpose of lustful fan-service, completely devoid of any meaningful experience), this change to the original scrip can only become the horrendous latrine of a production that it will become the Parasyte anime, thanks to the whorish decision of prostituting a story, all of this in order to attract a more young and new audience, with schemes of friendly pastel colors and cute likable characters brought to life by a cast with a background on romantic comedies! (they at least could hire an staff who had experience with the world of horror and/or Sci-fi, but no, lets go with the currently popular voice actors, and with their tropes which make them disgustingly beloved by the asinine consumer of general anime) showing a clear intention of censuring and diminishing all effect that a faithful horror story could ever hope to have, and i don't want to even imagine in which ways they will violate the Sci-Fi part of the story, let alone how they will ruin and trash and completely abuse and destroy the social commentary that the original work had.

Sorry for the rant, but when someone takes one of the grittiest mangas ever drawn, and remodels it to fit into the castrated standards of our current times, and on top of it adapts it to appeal to the tastes of a generation obsessed with the cancer known as "moe", i can only feel insulted, like a giant turd is being freshly deposited on my mouth and smeared all over my face, which is exactly why i didn't want to write about that part on my post, but now you know, however this nightmare doesn't ends there, this whole ship made out of fuckery damnation would have never come to life without the approval of the original author, and to be aware of such a thing saddens me, is not the first time it happens, plenty of authors betray expectations with quite regularity, to the point that i should not care about it, however this is one of those rare cases in which an author agrees to the vandalization of one of his previous works instead of just venturing into making a new different thing.

Quite the fiery deposition!! It certainly seems like you know what you're talking about and I can see that this issue is very important to you. I see where you are coming from, and probably would share the same sentiments if I was a dedicated follower of said original manga(s). However, when it comes to all artforms I'm a firm believer that there is no accounting for taste...someone out there enjoys it...the artists shouldn't be obligated to cater to a certain fanbase. It's best not to fall into the "grrr stop liking what I don't like!" mindset. To me it seems that a new anime was created, more or less drawing inspiration and taking partial material from the original manga. You cannot find complete fault in the original authors; some liked their work, and wanted to build on that- personally I would find that flattering, even if it could be viewed as a degradation of art within the Otaku culture, to a certain degree. With that said, I think there is some ill intentions on the part of artists who feel the need to use a household name to reel in more viewers, when they don't really plan to illuminate the essential elements of the original. At the end of the day though, such derivative works of art are just over-glorified fan fiction...and real fans don't pay mind to fan fiction.

That's a great advice and i would love to look at this production as nothing more than fan fiction, even if they are throwing the name around passing it as the real deal and not an spin-off or anything like that.

A recent trailer was released yesterday, and while some things where solidified i was able to say "well it doesn't really looks good, but it doesn't seems like that much of a garbage as before", when i said that i understood, there is an advantage to my overly negative disposition regarding this series, and is that my impression at this point can only go up once i get to watch that thing, i mean it would take a lot of talent to make me hate them more than what i already do XD, oh they announced that the voice actor of Major Makoto from Ghost in the Shell would voice one of the main villains, so i guess they finally decided to get someone related to the genre, however they also introduced 2 more filler charters... is like a roller coaster that starts at bellow ground level then plummets down, raises a little and then keeps failing... really at this point i am following this thing purely out of duty towards the original manga.
