Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu Episode 2 Discussion

HandsomeMan said:
Decent episode. Last ep was better. People are praising this a bit too much I think.

Vexper said:
Awesome episode. Was quite annoyed when the girl noticed what was happening to the cat and then said "Let's go." Well aren't you fabulous.

Brynhild said:
They didn't do the Lion scene :/

(or does that happen next chapter? I forgot. I always thought it happened before the Gym scene)

It looks that I am in the minority here, but I didn't like this episode. Visual side is good, music is decent, but some traits in the characters are different, and not in the way I particularly like.

Let's be honest, that is probably what most people would do.

Let's be honest, the situation itself was ridiculous. Doing that when the park entrance is literally 10 seconds away? Three teenagers without bikes or any quick means of escape? You must live in some pretty ghetto neighborhood if you think the natural reaction for most people would be to simply ignore it and walk off. If they weren't physically able to intervene they'd at least call local authorities or simply knock on some doors in the surrounding area. Not simply 'Let's fucking walk off'.

In what way are they different? Shinichi is exactly the same character he was in the manga, same with Murano and Migi. If anything, they made Shinichi more expressive, which isn't really a bad thing at all(Heck, he was fairly stiff in the manga).

deadoptimist said:


I think he is. >< The best example would be his reaction to Migi's help during the basketball game.



And in ep.1 Shinichi's parents were really unlikeable, almost as if they had a disfunctional family.

I don't want to critisize the show too much, but I can't understand, where all the praise comes from. This much praise, I mean. Either way, I won't argue about it too much. I liked the manga, and it's enough for me.

This anime continues to be awesome, loving the animation style and character designs. Is it just me or I don't find any problems with the soundtrack?

Why does she keep on asking him if he really is himself?

[spoiler] I was thinking that she might of actually turn into one of those creatures herself just like him and knows what happened to him. Also, she avoided the right hand because he touch her boobs or because she knows about the hand being migi. I hope this clears up.

Keten said:
Really unlikable family..? They were kidding around with their son... that's not normal? Heck, I think neglectful parents or over protective parents would be far worse.

Dad points at a spider to freak his son out = dysfunctional family? In what world? What did they do that was dysfunctional? O_o

Anyway, I can sort of see your point in terms of Shinichi however it's a really small thing that doesn't remotely bother me. I think the fact that he isn't as hesitant about the idea of abusing his powers but keeps an eye on not abusing them too much is more realistic to be honest however I do see both perspectives working well from a narrative point of view.

Dick hand! Gosh, so hilarious, also the toilet scene.
Like the character progression in Shinichi.
And being BA in the sandbox - nice!

I'm going to throw this anime into the faces of everyone whimping in TG and terraformars threads about censorship. This is how you do this when you have balls (like you don't censor at all). I'm getting more disturbed by black bars than by any gore/h scenes.
God bless Madhouse!

Notice that it wasn't me, who pointed out the scene with the spider. :D I dunno, I would expect that a caring parent would rather take away the poor animal before his arachnophobic son became scared.
But they also were kind of detached, and made jokes about Shinichi all the time, it looked almost like a minor abuse to me. I don't intend to nitpick, but by the end of the episode I was disturbed - they didn't look like a happy family at all. Considering their role in the plot, I was surprised.

I think that the chemistry between characters in this anime doesn't click with me. I don't see it between Shinichi and Murano as well. Probably, it's just something personal and highly subjective, but what can I do, if it's the way I see it.

It is interesting to analyze the changes, at least. However I don't think that I'll watch all the 24 episodes.

I posted my critical opinion more for the sake of diversity in this thread. Maybe someone like-minded will read through it later (as I often do) and feel sad, that everybody likes everything about the episode and he doesn't have a soulmate, and then he will read my post, and see that he is not alone in this sad and lonely world. Something like that :D

Based Madhouse actually putting in the penis arm.
The only complaint I have for this series is that the fights are short.
I need them to be longer and more action-packed if the MC is planning to wipe out the other parasytes.

I don't think I can do the music in this show, but that's arguably the least of it's problems. Pretty bloody disappointing so far for a show I expected to like. Have yet to really get attached to anything and the overall vibe of the show isn't helping much either. I tend to like Madhouse too like a little of people here but it doesn't mean anything if they aren't putting their best foot forward with a show which doesn't seem to be the case here. Like nothing stands out about this show at the moment as particularly gripping, it just seems to lack any sort of clear direction as well, but I'm willing to give it time.
