Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul anime takes place in an alternate version of Tokyo, Japan. It follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who becomes a half-ghoul after being attacked by a ghoul named Rize whom he thought was his girlfriend. Kaneki struggles to come to terms with his new identity and joins a group of ghouls who run a cafe. He learns about the ghoul society and conflicts with humans.

Kaneki’s transformation turns him more aggressive, and he begins to wage war against the humans and ghouls both. All this is a consequence of the torture and brainwashing that Kaneki undergoes, and turns to be a powerful and vengeful ghoul taking the name “Centipede.” Actually, neither is he a ghoul nor a complete human. He faces off against various enemies, even the ghoul organization Aogiri Tree. Eventually, Kaneki’s actions lead to a massive war between ghouls and humans, and he makes a heart-touching sacrifice to try to bring peace to both races.

Parasyte: The Maxim

The anime Parasyte: The Maxim is set in a world that has been under serious threat. The parasitic aliens are eager to take over the world with their powers. Whoever they bite dies as their venom reaches the brain and drains all their energy. With a bite, the parasite named Migi takes over Shinichi’s right hand though he wanted his entire body too. However, things turn out to be completely different as Migi only gets control over one of Shinichi’s arms. There is no way but for the two to learn to coexist and work together to survive against other parasitic aliens that have invaded Earth. The nature of these parasites is to take over their host’s brain which allows them to control their bodies and feed on humans. As Shinichi and Migi encounter other parasites, they find themselves caught in a dangerous and violent world where humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. In addition to all this, we sight other humans, including a girl named Satomi who develops feelings for Shinichi and we expect some romance.

Monster

The story of Monster anime relies on one decision of the main protagonist named Dr. Tenma. After all, the diligence and sacrifices that Dr. Tenma made throughout his career bore fruit. He has reached a respectable point in life and at a such young age, he is a pro in his field. However, there is one point that haunts Dr. Tenma at every point. Two patients arrive at the same point and he decides to save the life of a young boy named Johan instead of the city’s mayor.

The main character of the story is Gut, a warrior, and a mercenary. After being born from the corpse of his mother, Guts is raised as a child soldier by a band of mercenaries. It was destiny that Gut is nurtured but without any emotions. Still, he considers the group his family but the joy doesn’t last for long and Griffith (the leader of the mercenary group) lets his people die for the sake of power and status.

As the story continues, Guts battles both physical and emotional demons, including the trauma of his past and the consequences of his own actions.

Death Note

Do you believe that there can be a utopian society free of crime and evil? Well, the hero of Death Note Light Yagami does. Light is a high school student who finds a mysterious notebook called the “Death Note.” This book carries the power to kill anyone whose name is written inside.
