The ending really deflated the whole thing for me. The whole thing was building up massive world-scale happenings and trying to impress this feeling of dread onto you but then everything is resolved in a fashion which felt entirely too much like straight wish-fulfillment for my liking and everything beyond the direct conflict between bad guys and the protagonist was handwaved away at the last second. Their were some almost-big ideas being thrown around in Parasyte but the ending made it clear that the author didn't really think them through, let alone have any idea on how they'd naturally tie in with the progression of the story towards some kind of resolution. It felt like just about the single most lazy ending the story could have possibly had, while Devilman's enormous influence on the industry is probably largely due to how bold, unique and intelligent its ending is.
