Parasyte, although Shinichi wasn't a big edgelord.
Tokyo Ghoul is straight up edge. Kaneki became a totally different person.

>>151416786
When will you shit threading up stop shits?

Parasyte is vastly superior, there's a explanation for Shinichi's edginess and not to mention he suffered way more,
Tokyo Ghoul is definitely one of those "so bad it's good" series though

>>151416129
Shinich was an edgelord ever since he got stabbed in the chest. Only at the end when he started becoming a pussy did he stop being one.

Parasyte and Kaneki

Kill yourself, how is he an edgelord if he simply cannot feel things, /a/ is one of the most retarded boards ever

>>151417939
>if he simply cannot feel things
Literally the definition of an edgelord. The "my dark past made me unable to emotion" is literally what an edgelord is.

The fuck? No it isn't. An edgelord is just someone who goes out of his way to act as edgy as possible. You can be an edgelord and still feel emotions.

Why dont people who like this tripe, jerk off to Linkin Park and call it a day.

Kiseiju is pretty Old and the "edgelord" wasn't something popular .The autor was taking risk by doing that WE can't say the same for tokyo ghoul

>>151420618
People like you probably don't understand what it's like. People don't actively choose what they enjoy, they just like what reminds them of themselves, just like how kids re-enact trauma from there childhoods as adults. You probably don't know what its like to have anything bad happen to you.

NOT EDGY AT ALL

Should I read Parasyte or watch it?

>>151417371
you know to be honest I never really got why that was such a bad thing

you try to save it but its not his dog at the end of the day, digging a grave is a pain and overall pointless in a city where theres limited areas where someone can dig a burial mound with his hands alone

>>151421299
Read it.

Anime is faithful but it cuts some scenes out. Also, they tried to modernize it, but it fails considering that now that cellphones and the Internet exist, the whole setting becomes a lot less plausible, the parasytes wouldn't be able to remain hidden for long.

On the other hand, manga art is meh whilst the animation is pretty good in the anime. Some people hate the soundtrack because it's dubstep, but I personally enjoyed it, especially the ED. Voice acting is top notch.

Up to you but I'd pick the manga if you want better writing.

>>151421299
The anime does a terrible job at honoring what the manga did so well.

For a while before the anime was even announced parasyte was one of the manga that was most desired for an adaptation and for good reasons

>>151420865
Because I made good decisions in life.

>>151421299

To take notice of it and do nothing (like most everyone else would do) is one thing, to decide to do something and then just throw it in the garbage is another.
I say that as someone who threw a dead cat in the garbage lol

Parasyte was decent, Shinichi's development made sense. Unlike Kaneki who became an edgelord after seeing a Linkin Park music video.

He overcompensated for his abusive home life and sadness by trying to be overly friendly, wound up pulling a full 180 and wishing for death after not being able to keep up the facade, came to terms with it, and now he's a pretty stable dude with a sense of purpose

>>151416025
Shincihi had a buncha mikis regulating his chemical balance so he was just a sociopath who wanted revenge on illegal aliens.
Kaneki was tortured till he realized he gotta stop fucking around and to fuck everyone up whose fucking his status quo.

I mean, generally edgelords are only called edgelords because they're edgy without a valid reason

>>151424733

Anime messed up pacing very badly, large contributor to possible edgelord status.

>>151424733
Could be worse

I would say they're both case studies in how to write edgelords the right away.

1. Edginess for a valid reason instead of just the rule of cool. Shinichi's being biological reconfiguration, Kaneki's being compounding mental turmoil for repeated physical abuse and trauma

2. Lampshading the edgelord mentality as something that is inherently self-destructive and undesirable instead of glorifying it and rewarding them for it.

3. Having them eventually grow out of it

Look retards, this thread is filled with retards so I will elaborate it

Shinichi never was an edgelord, it was migi's dna that conflicted Shinichi and made him into what he was. And besides Shinichi didn't end up as an edgelord like Kaneki, Shinichi's character developed pretty well at end of the manga. Migi's dna made him to change his appearance and his behavior, etc. But the most important part, it changed his personality into a cold autist.

Kaneki had the characteristics of an edgelord. He's ruthless towards his enemies, acknowledging the fact he is fucked up and has 100% self-awareness, kinda. Also in the torture chamber, he realizes that he could've save this family from bereavement at the very end. This just makes him even more retarded. And then all the sudden, he embraced his retarded ghoul side and beat the shit out of his enemy.

Also kaneki had an edge background, where his mother was beating the shit out of him, while Shinichi really loved his family

the real edgelord is yuri

None of these.

I remember laughing at Shinichi's scenes which were supposed to depict him losing his humanity, such as when he threw away the puppy. It just seemed so comical, probably because the show had absolutely no subtlety and started having "deep" conversations comparing humanity to cattle in episode two or so.

The one show that did this trope right was Shiki. The doctor wasn't exactly a kid, but he sure did lose his innocence in a believable yet horrifying manner.

>>151440861
Not to mention the puppy was already dead anyways, so throwing it in the trash isn't even that edgy.

I throw dead animals in the bin all the fucking time. It ain't my pet, I don't want it stinking up the side walk etc so in the bin it goes. These are mostly bats, possums and birds (the odd toad who gets run over) who kill themselves touching power lines, but you get the idea. If I didn't put the fucker in the bin, no one else would and it would rot on my side walk.

Coming across one in a park etc (not my property) I'd probably leave it alone or call someone, but they are going to do the exact same fucking thing, put it in the bin. Could be decent fertilizer, but fuck digging, and fuck leaving a bone pile behind.

This was just one of those scene during the series that came off as a 'what the fuck is this authors problem with having characters react to very logical decisions and make the out to be a monster'. I never bought the migi making MC psychopathic, the kid went through some shit, of course it's going to fucking change him.
