Parasyte: Part 2 - 2015 - 6/10
Kiseijuu: Kanketsuhen // 寄生獣完結編

A different, blacker film altogether, right down to the somber music.
The sequel is filled with action and carnage.
Younger characters have grown up. Parasytes are trying to find a way to co-exist or conquer.
Humans have gotten wise to the parasites and unleash the firearms.
Once again, there are moral discussions about a given species “right to exist.”
(I recalled similar themes in 1985‘s Robotech, particularly the third section involving the Invid. Japan has always struck me as a rather insular nation, so I wonder what was going on in the 80’s there.)
Part 2 was more satisfying for me, the characters more assured, with less jokes.
Good cheer is replaced with violence. Possibly an ugly ride for those expecting Part 1.
