Character of the Month of October: Shinichi Izumi

Hello world!  October is coming to an end, which not only means Halloween is just around the corner, but it’s also time to reveal this month’s Character of the Month.  I know October was a short month-by no fault of my own-, but I did get to review some fantastic horror-animes.  That much said, this month’s character was a shoe-in; after reviewing the shows for this month, I knew this character would take the spot.  Who can I possibly be talking about?  I’m talking about the leading character from my first review of the month, Parasyte: The Maxim , Shinichi Izumi! Shinichi Izumi was an ordinary high school student until a strange man-eating creature called a parasite attacked him and devoured his right arm.  Trapped in a situation where he cannot tell anyone about the predicament he’s in, he and Migi-the parasite who attacked him-must learn to not only coexist with each other but also stay wary of other parasites who have taken up hosts in the humans they’ve eaten.  For Shinichi,

Greetings, everyone!  After some major complications last Sunday, I’m back this week with a…well, it’s complicated.  Although I’ve gone through two rounds of reviews on this anime, its second season has yet to be reviewed.  Now at this point, you may be wondering what show I’m talking about.  Last year’s anime horror sensation Tokyo Ghoul got this blogger’s attention from its summer premier, and now I’m bringing its second season to be reviewed.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy my third crack at Tokyo Ghoul , or should I say it’s second season Tokyo Ghoul √ A . √ A picks up where season one left off.  Kaneki goes through a complete personality change after accepting his ghoulish side and fighting and devouring Yamori.  Meanwhile, the Anteiku gang is still on the hunt for Kaneki while the CCG continues its fight with Aogiri Tree.  But when the fight suddenly ends, Kaneki decides to join Aogiri.  From episode one and onward, √ A covers Kaneki’s time with Aogiri, the CCG’s moves after

One Serious Bug Problem: Parasyte: The Maxim

Greetings, everybody!  October has begun-as of four days ago-, and that means Halloween is coming, which also means reviews on horror animes all month long!  Starting off this month will be one horror anime that I have been wanting to review for a long time now.  Released October of last year, this show caught my attention and I’ve stuck with it for the majority of the show’s duration.  Several months later I knew that I would review this show.  And the timing couldn’t be more appropriate for a review because the English dub was released just last night on Toonami.  What show can I possibly be talking about?  I’m talking about the creepy crawly, bloody and gory Parasyte: The Maxim ! Based on the late eighties manga series of the same name, Parasyte follows high school student Shinichi Izumi after he goes through some unusual events.  One night, an insect-like creature attacks Shinichi and burrows into his arm.  The following day, he discovers that his hand has been taken over by a
