Well, I'd say that's a pretty nasty fall for glasses girl..

This was a pretty intense episode imo with a lot of bloodshed. Poor Shinji as well. I feel bad for him seeing all that blood after what happened recently with her mom. Really enjoyed this episode with the terror at school and no censorship. Lost count of how many people died this episode including students, police, etc.

Nice shot though Shinichi. The guy should join the baseball team

Oh damn. That was some large-scale ownage right there. And not too bad of a job by glasses cunt. I'll give her credit for the paint thinner being a lot more effective as a weapon than I thought. Although, it was due to the paint thinner making Shimada go apeshit that everyone else in the school got rekt. She should have just taken one for the team.

I was a tiny bit disappointed with how Shinichi dealt with the situation. I kind of wanted him to go OP with flashes of superhero swag. Rather, he mostly just let everyone except Murano get killed (aka thinking with his dick which I do respect). Though this was probably a more realistic depiction of where Shinichi still is in his development of facing off against the parasytes and being a brostar.

And Murano... "Are you okay? You jumped down from pretty far up." No shit Sherlock. Good lord is she a moron.

Tachikawa throwing that paint thinner and made Shimada go on berserk.

17 victims and that was a pretty bloody scene from class 3-3 :/ Shinichi saving Murano was pretty amazing. Felt bad for the two guys that ran away and instantly died. Those jumps were pretty amazing.

A few police died. Shinichi's way of dealing the finishing blow by throwing a rock over 300 meters away!

At the price of 17 victims, the government was able to get another sample of these parasites. To start pulling other people's hair to see whether they are clean or not! Glad Shinichi made up with Murano but not so much in such a way.

Nice thinking by glasses girl (don't know her name that well off the top of my head). Really enjoyed seeing Izumi go in and save Murano to, and then finishing off Shimada with what looks to be a new upgrade or discovery of his power. Very intense episode overall though, and it'll be interesting to see what happens with this hair pulling "fad".


I haven't read the manga or anything, but the guy who asked for everyone's hairs at the board meeting, I've got bad news vibes coming from him. Got a feeling he's a parasyte but who knows, I'm probably paranoid now after seeing that episode.

I felt that there was a degree of censorship involving the carnage. I expected an Elfen Lied style massacre but the camera cut away too much and we only got brief glances of the bloodshed. In the manga we hit to see people sliced up in all its glory.

Great Ep. as usual 5/5.

The only thing i don't like right now is that it seems that Mirano will be like Ran from detective conan.
Don't get me wrong, i don't hate her, But i don't like it when in Stories The main Girl/love interest/Gf has nothing to do with the story except for romance and being a connection to the mc's "old World", and knows of nothing.

I wonder how people got the idea to greet each other by pulling hair. If someone would suggest it to me without explaining (or having a good reason like parasites), then I would ask them to go check their head.

The episode was good but I really hope Mirano will stop being such an airhead. She's been completely useless and stupid the whole time so I hope she'll do something later.

And I hope Migi will be the same and won't have emotions later.

Yuko actually didn't die :O Didn't expect that. Isn't she technically the cause of the massacre though with how she threw acid on him causing him to go berserk. Quite the luck she has there surviving a jump from that floor. She's probably gonna be quite traumatized now that she's seen the true form of these monsters.

Shinichi has gone through another phase of development now with how he overcame the bodies. His reaction to them was quite surprising to me actually. Thought he wouldn't care that much but it seems he still has (or had now) quite a bit of emotions.

I wonder if Murano saw the true form of Hide though? She probably did but I'm not sure. Surprised she took adrenaline rush as an excuse for Izumi's BAness XD
No way would that be enough to jump from a building and over a fence like that XD

Dat friggin 300 meter throw through the chest though O_O FRIGGIN BA!!! Dat hand looked so awesome :3

Nice new way of identifying Parasytes XD Pull the hair of ur friend while greeting them hehe. Parasyte's are screwed :O

Great episode! I really hope that Tachikawa realizes that she was the catalyst for the massacre. She may not connect the dots with the chemical reaction, but she has to realize how dumb it was to approach him in the first place.

Shit, I'm having an adrenaline rush. Almost had to stop the video because I was almost shaking... Damn, that was one hell of a bloodbath. I was even getting nauseous to see all these young people getting their lives reaped. Give that school a rest for fuck sake.

Shinichi, even if he was unable to saves much lives, was pretty darn epic. Between those high jumps (did I already said that I love seeing him doing crazy jumps) and that rock throw. Also, saving his princess, after having scares the fuck out of us with that poor girl head, like the emo(just kiddin') dark prince he is, Shinichi is confirmed to be cooler than any superheroes.

Yuuko somehow escaped death. But by escaping death, 17 students and numerous officers have been killed indirectly. Holy shit would I feel bad... That girl will be scared for life, snatching hair from everyone she see...

About the hair trick, it's pretty clever. But it's really stupid at the same time. If you were to remove hair from a parasyte and notice that it's reacting weirdly, I don't think he would let you lives. In fact, I'm sure it wouldn't let you lives.

Edit : fucking hilarious that comment above me.

What a massacre in the school. Glad that Murano survived, but RIP to everyone else in her class. Stupid Shimada and Tachikawa. But damn, Izumi's arm though. I gotta say, he can aim pretty well. And... Greeting each other by pulling each other's hair? lol.

Awesomeness.

That throw. Such aim. Right in the heart. From 300m away. Damn.

Murano should have been surprised that Shinchii is still walking like nothing happened after jumping from the third floor, running off and then jumping over a high fence. She just let it slide and even believed shinchii's story of "adrenaline rush" which also "surprised him".

Lol that sensei "what are you wearing on your head". It's his freakin head man! Not some mask. Did it look that fake?

That killing spree. Shinchii was about to break down. Good thing they didn't cover up things with those stinkin dark patches like in Tokyo Ghoul.

I'd never greet anyone if it will involve pulling out a hair.

I like the idea of pulling each other's hair as a greeting. You just pull a hair out of somebody and see that they're actually a parasyte and get sliced in half because you can't really do anything else in that situation.

Man i was almost sold that Murano was dead lol. That was a great scene of mistaken identity.

I find it kind of silly that Murano doesn't suspect Shinichi of anything after jumping off a building and jumping over a high chain link fence without much of a scratch or broken limbs. >_>

Anyways great episode

Art/Animation: Pretty meh this week but the visual effects and Shimada's grotesque design were enough to make up for most of it to me. Made it a lot more atmospheric.

Sound: Some songs were damn good and I am glad they didn't bring out the wubwubs like they usually do when they use that song. The transition from the opening scene to the OP was a bit jarring but that's a nitpick.

Story+Characters:
Opening up with Yuuko tossing paint thinner at Shimada and basically nearly kills him with it. Then she jumps into a tree and nearly dies but hey, I'll give her props for doing what she could, given the situation. She wasn't really an idiot last week... so much as... immensely naive but she still had the smarts to bring along acid. Can't imagine the pain Shimada must have felt. Totally believable that he couldn't switch out of his killer state.

You can see some development in Shinichi this week as he is slowly trying to control his emotions. Not control as in stop feeling but rather, know when to stop feeling. He collapses when he sees just how much damage came because he didn't just kill Shimada right away, his empathy coming back to him but remembering what his father said, he seems to control his emotions a bit better now, erasing them except for his need to find Murano. It was pretty quick though but I don't consider that necessarily a bad thing.

I'll be honest though, Murano not asking any questions after Shinichi was all, "It was just adrenaline." was a bit ridiculous. Nothing that bothers me too much though.

Now, Shinichi tossing that rock, that was pure GAR right there. Manly as hell.

So now they bring about the plan to flush out the parasites, pulling hair to see if it withers in several seconds. Pretty funny that it became a fad but honestly, I can believe it somehow.

Overall, great episode in terms of story and character.

And ladies and gentleman, that's how you leave a class in session, without a single word, like a boss!

Pretty bloody episode overall.

Shinichi with his imba sniping skill.

Yes it's a good thing that Murano is dumb. Tbh though, a girl in that situation would be unable to think properly and believe anything her savior said.

Somehow, the statement about "greeting each other by pulling out a strand of hair is becoming fad" was quite hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing.

Almost had a mini heart attack when it showed the dead body which looked like Murano's. Good thing it wasn't her though, cos there is clearly as a lot that can still be done with her character.

It was also good to see that Shinichi hasn't entirely lost his humanity, which was a good change after how he was acting in the last few episodes.

I think Murano was in a daze when Izumi jumped impossible heights for a human, and she was likely too disoriented with all the craziness around her to really pay attention to what Izumi did. Either that, or she's completely in denial~ lol

lol, imagine greeting people by taking a strand of hair is actually a trend, it's an extrovert's worst nightmare.

Overall, a great episode despite the lack of effort killing Shimada(not enough action) but hey, at least he can't harm anyone else.

I expected the glasses bitch would at least need some therapy after realizing her stupidity caused the massacre of so many of her schoolmates and cops. But no, apparently she's always been very strong, so fucking good for her.

And I thought the bottle she threw contained acid, not paint thinner, because the parasyte's (forgot his name) skin looked like it was burning, going by the fumes coming out of it.
