Parasyte - the maxim

[MFauli]

I doesnt matter if I liked the old Shinichi or not, that´s the point. I like proper continuity, and I like for a hero to stay the same person. Imagine it like this: For five episodes, your hero is Shinji. Then a parasite enters his body and he becomes Naruto. Would that be fun to watch? Maybe. But it would absolutely suck in terms of atmosphere and continuity. It´s like the author suddenly became bored of his creation and hit the reset button ... exclusively for the hero.

Edit: GODDAM, Shinta, I think ill have to change my sig pic. It´s too hot :>

Because being an active participant in murdering Mr. A, finding out your mother was killed by a parasite, then killing that parasite doesn't change a person in any way...

It wouldn't matter if he became super-human or was still using a sharpened metal pipe like before.

His would-be girlfriend has been asking if he's the same person for a long time. The experiences Shinichi has gone through have changed him. Make him a more confident person, tortured him, broken him, and brought him closure on his mother's untimely death. He's changed. People change.

That's what I love about this show. Humans are shaped by their experiences. No one ever stays static.
