The 17-year-old Izumi Shinichi lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like aliens called Parasytes invade Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. One Parasyte attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails since he is wearing headphones, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead, taking over his right hand and is named Migi. Because Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from traveling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellect and personality. As the duo encounter other Parasytes, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasytes, who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. Shinichi feels compelled to fight other Parasytes, who devour humans as food, while enlisting Migi's help. 没有希望的人类和有希望的人 （轻度剧透）。【这不是影评】大体可圈可点，细节缺少韵味。岩明均为何让米奇沉睡。说说《寄生兽》和《东京食尸鬼》。OP和ED。进化中的原罪与崇高。寄生兽 --- 我来补上十年前的吹爆。寄生兽好像成为了我人生的记忆点？。《寄生兽》的哲学内涵。人的灵性所在：爱的思想。 由于残忍的分尸杀人事件频发，世界各地人民陷入一片惶恐不安之中，然而元凶却是人类未曾意料到的“寄生兽”。这些寄生生物的幼虫侵入人类或动物身体后，以寄生脑部为目标，寄生完成后与脑部细胞同化，管理这个“死掉的身体”。它们能任意变形，能够迅速吸收掌握人类知识，而它们的食物便是寄生体相同的物种。 普通高中生泉新一（岛崎信长 配音）某天被一只奇怪的虫子侵入身体并吞噬了右手，自此他不得不与寄生生物“右”共存。本性正直善良的泉新一不敢将这一变故告诉家人和朋友，然而他喜欢的人村野里美（花泽香菜 配音）似乎留意到他身体的变化。为了被寄生生物杀死的亲友以及所有人类的未来，泉新一决心与其他完全体寄生兽进行殊死搏斗。
