Did they ever explain the origins of these things? - Z
Not that I can tell, at least not in the English version. -- Halloween jack 06:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Too bad. I always got the feeling they were artificial weapons of some sort, what with their inability to reproduce, and the fact that they don't appear to have any other purpose than killing humans.
I think they were guessed to be just something "cast down by god" or whatever was ruling the universe, to literally be to humans what we are to farm animals; aka, to take our place on the food chain and knock our numbers down. I also added a lot of information to the character details list and a few other small changes. Deepbluevibes 22:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I read the original English release back in the day. I don't remember much about it now except that there were a lot of complaints about plot changes and other "motionless picture entertainment" silliness. Does anyone here have more information on that? I think it's worthy of its own section here. Rebochan 01:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm interested in this as well! votohime
No clue, but I know that they changed Shinishi to Shin. I'm pretty sure that Izumi was his first name though, because the family name is always forst & the girl he likes didn't start calling him Izumi until they started dating. I loved how unpredictable & unique the series is, but Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro manages to remind me of this series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.236.142 ( talk) 08:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
After going through and changing the spelling, I realized I couldn't figure out a way to explain the different without it being original research. I translated the Del Rey version of the manga, and a later volume should have a translator's note explaining why both spells are used. Essentially, the word kiseiju is consistently translated as Parasyte, while the word kiseichu is translated literally as parasite. The creatures themselves are referred to either as kiseichu or parasaito. The word kiseiju only appears one time (if memory serves) and is used to refer to human beings. I decided the distinction was an important one, and that the word Parasyte actually referred to mankind. Doceirias 01:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Obviously, the graphic novel releases for this series have been a bit messy, so the usual {{ Graphic novel list}} isn't going to work so well for this. Would there be any objections to formatting a chapter list similar to List of Oh My Goddess! chapters? This format would allow us to pretty easily list the original Japanese release, the Tokyopop release, and the Japanese kanzenban/English Del Ray release (if the last two line up). — Dino guy 1000 17:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Whispertome has suggested that the article ought to acknowledge the names from the earlier edition. I don't really see that it's any more relevant/notable than the names from a Singapore English edition would be; we got with the names from the current, best known edition, which in this case is the version in print, from Del Rey. At most, a sourced mention in the manga section, as part of detailing the publication history; but including both names on the character list, as if they are of equal legitimacy, strikes me as unnecessary. Doceirias ( talk) 01:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
The character descriptions read to me like they are purposely trying to avoid spoiling the reader. Any thoughts? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 20:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, guys, the names of episodes basically have jack shit to do with what the episode titles link to currently. I came to this article hoping to find summaries of what each episode contained. I DID NOT find it here. This is an article about an episodic anime (and the manga maybe?), therefore, we should have either a link to an article for each episode, or just have a paragraph for each episode, depending on how notable shit is.
The current links have basically no relation to the show this article is about. And I mean NO relation.
The current link listed as reference for the title of episode 21 is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Selby_%28psychologist%29
I have the feeling that's incorrect. I think it should link to this (not this Amazon link, but there should be a wiki page with this content): http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%80%A7%E3%81%A8%E8%81%96%E2%80%95%E6%80%A7%E3%81%AE%E7%B2%BE%E7%A5%9E%E6%96%87%E5%8C%96%E5%8F%B2-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89-%E3%83%93%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%83%E3%83%97/dp/4309230601
Where did the person who edited this in get the reference currently posted? And I'm not asking this sarcastically, I'd really like to know.
I'm adding some sources that refer to it as body horror because of this edit by TheFarix and because I'm not sure how many and which of them I should cite. For now, I've cited Variety as it is an well-know source (though it refers to the film, so my concern/doubt is on its usefulness) and a book just to not rely only in Internet sources (it's an e-book, though...). These are the other options:

This source, detailing the list of contributors to the Parasyte tribute series, isn't linked from the main ANN page, so I'm putting it here so I can find it in the future: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-01-28/parasyte-tribute-manga-in-aria-magazine-ends/.83758.

The article's main picture is a bit of a random choice being the 4th volume of an edition of the manga that isn't published anymore. If you go onto most Wikipedia pages for manga series you'll see they almost always tend to use the first volume of specifically the original Japanese release of each series. I don't actually know the proper way to change an article's main picture (mainly because of all the fair use stuff even though I'm pretty sure this falls under fair use because all the other manga Wikipedia articles do it) but I managed to find a good quality image of the front cover of the original Japanese release: https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/manga/2/171796l.webp — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathbringer2206 ( talk • contribs) 19:55, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
