A 2014 anime TV series based on the manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The story follows high school student Shinichi Izumi, whose body is partially taken over by an alien parasite named Migi.

Together, they must fight against other parasites that prey on humans while navigating threats from both society and their own kind. The anime explores philosophical themes of humanity, morality, and survival, blending horror, drama, and action elements.
