Hitoshi Iwaaki's sci-fi horror manga Parasyte will soon have a TV anime project alongside with two live-action films.
The story of the original manga is set in a world where alien beings called "Parasites" come to Earth. They start taking over humans by entering through their noses and ears and attaching themselves to their brains.
One alien called Migi is only able to take over high school student Shinichi Izumi's right arm, and is unable to control Shinichi completely. Migi and Shinichi learn to co-exist, and the two battle other Parasites who see humans only as food.
The live-action movies is directed by Takashi Yamazaki (live-action Space Battleship Yamato). The movie stars Shota Sometani (live-action xxxHOLiC) as Shinichi Izumi, Eri Fukatsu (Onnanoko Monogatari) as Ryōko Tamiya, and Ai Hashimoto (Sadako 3D) as Satomi Murano.
The live-action films will open in December 2014 and 2015. The release date of the anime is still unknown as of this writing.
