What is it and why?
Mine's Parasyte. It's got a classic shonen feel, but it's really fucked-up due to it actually being a seinen. Tons of retro 80s-styled monsters, body horror, and cheesy but still somewhat poignant philosophical value. Imagine John Carpenter's The Thing, except there's thousands and thousands of them, and they're all completely hidden due to being ultra-efficient predators with high intellectual capacity. And the main character has one in his hand.
It does what Jojo does in that it's a modernized version of an 80s manga, and sticks to that while still being directed in a way that feels modern. Parasyte is a little bit more modernized than Jojo, though, and that includes its dubstep and synth-trap battle themes. Does anyone here imagine "Skrillex clone" when they think of 80s sci-fi horror music?
