| Hmm... I felt like the comedic and action packed first part didn't contrast well with the emotional series second part. Still very good though. I am so happy madhouse delivered on the empty head scene. That was such hilarity. I also liked how it showed Tamura goofing off as though she enjoyed laughing and being more human. That did contrast well with the talk she had with Murano, where she was envious about being worried for someone. The action part was splendidly done as well. Probably some of the better animation in the show and I loved the claustrophobic construction site with great use of shading to make it more serious looking. I also love how it showed off Tamura's intellectual side other than her usual biological and psychological knowledge. The 2nd half was better to me though. The detectives death was rather cathartic, even towards Tamura herself. Tamura wasn't the one who killed his wife and daughter but she understood the reason as to why he would act irrationally. The fact that she stabbed him so fast to protect her child shows that she didn't care if logically he wasn't going to do it, she had to do it anyway. It also in general shows that parasites are capable of empathy and emotion. Can't believe they ended it there though. I mean, I guess that was the only place they could have ended it but wow, what a cliffhanger. xD |
| Alright episode. I was expecting Tamiya to own those three other parasites. *sigh as always a cliffhanger |
 |
| Great episode, I did not think Reiko was so strong, won of three parasites at once, and even comforted Murano when he found it, she is a character that may surprise anytime Had great fights in this episode, but the best was the endpoint, Reiko and Shinichi face to face, I'm looking forward to the next episode .. |

| Haha that devilish half head Reiko smiling. Overall it was an excellent episode, I can't wait to see what happens |
| Hi there |
| aah why do these episodes go by so quickly ;_; also i have a question for those who've read the manga: there's only 7 more eps left so do you think they'll be able to cover the rest of the manga without rushing/skipping parts? |
 |
| Reiko's such a badass. I've liked her and Hideo outta all the parasites. Gotta love her laugh. Even the laugh from last episode was great |
    |
| I call a major plot hole in Murano being able to spot Shinichi in a moving bus. Do the writers think we are stupid to think this would actually happen? Also, Murano conveniently sitting on the park bench, near the proximity of Shinichi vs Tamura. Come the hell on with that shit. |

| Oh my this episode...Something big might go down next week |
 |
| reiko is very kawaii when she shows her head's empty.. lol can't wait for the next episode, more human... |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Reiko was actually pretty cute pulling her hair and splitting her head in half. Based on the PV, Murano finds out about Migi? Hope she dies. |
| Murano miraculously seeing Shinichi on the bus was poor writing, at least they could have made her follow Reiko as that would have been more believable. Other than that, I enjoyed the episode but i definitely felt quick. The ED started when I thought I was still halfway through the episode... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| GG detective. |

| Reiko best girl/monster/thing Murano annoying as always RIP Detective. |

Agreed, the plot armor is strong with this one. It's kind of an odd anime, anything related to the parasytes is fairly well done, but all the human characters are lame. |

| omg gimme the next ep NOW |
 |
| Ok episode, doesn't hold the same quality as the episodes before this one. 4/5 not bad, still have to improve. Let the wait begin. |
| Why doesnt murano know shinichis mom is dead?... why didnt murano recognize tamura as the math teacher who quit?... |
~my list
| If I had to guess, I'd say that she want to give him her baby, so he can be raised as a normal human. I doubt Shinichi accept that, after all he have suffered because of her species... At least, Detective-san was able to go in peace, probably relieved that the parasytes can indeed have feelings. I kinda laughed though when he said : ''IT WAS A JOKE!'' :P Reiko was having some lolz with that poor couple xD Oh man, the nightmares they will have... She have also shown a great use of creative tactics. Damnit, Murano keep raising her death flag higher, almost waving it. Have some pity on us, Madhouse! |

Be reasonable now, she had several encounters with parasites that could have killed her, AND NO WE ARE NOT HATERS we are stating simple observations about the show. The human characters are dull and have badly written characters, i could mention ALLOT of scenes where this is evident. The parasites themselves have "some"flaws also, but they are miner and could be overlooked for the sake of advancing the plot. MADHOUSE is not giving it her all here!!!! |

If I remember correctly this episode covers chapter 44-47 (a part of 44 and 47) and there's 64 chapters. So yes they can pull it off without rushing it in 7 episodes imo. |
| Okay episode, pacing felt very off. I mean damn the snow had laid thick by the time shinichi had crossed the park, he really does like his leisurely strolls. |

I agree with you, They won't fight or anything she will ask him to look after the baby and he won't accept they will both part ways and she will see Murano and will end up giving her the baby then Murano will take of her jacket to wrap around the baby and keep it warm since it's snowing and since she is wearing white underneath the police will think she is the parasite that killed the detective. But that's just my speculation :P I'm not sure what will happen next too many possibilities but they do have orders to shoot on sight but she will be holding a baby and they didn't shoot the other women that was in white with a baby. |
 |
| Just kill Murano FFS. Someone waste that pathetic hindrance. Darekaaa! |
| The saddest thing about this series will be when Murano misunderstands that the baby's father is Shinichi (I hope I am wrong). I will drop the overall score for this anime instantly if that happens. |

Tamura changed her face and hair so she looks quite different to the way she looked when she was a teacher.Why doesnt murano know shinichis mom is dead?... why didnt murano recognize tamura as the math teacher who quit?...

| Yoo, Kuramori's speech at the end when he was talking about Shinichi was so sad. 10/10 this week. Tamura is a really interesting character. Also, FUCK Murano man. RIP Kana a.k.a Best Girl. |
| Great episode as always. Extra creepy parasite animation this episode. |
 |
| I can just see Murano mistaking that for Shinichi's kid next episode. |
 |
| That part with Reiko Tamura laughing and running with her head in half really made me wtf, great episode though hehe, can't wait for next episode. |
  |
| Great episode |
| I swear these episodes are not 20 minutes. I click on ''Play'', watch for like 5 minutes, next thing i know i'm watching the preview for the next episode. Anyway, Reiko was legitimately the creepiest thing thus far. That half face and empty head coupled with the laughter almost made me sweat, which is saying alot for an anime. Loved how she outsmarted those three parasites, who were pretty much blind to how humans work. Serves them right. Respect for that detective, he told the cops the info they needed in his dying breath, but didn't doom Izumi. He underestimated Ryoko's growing mother instinct, though. Seriously, what was that emotion she was emitting that Migi couldn't recognize? It could have only been something surprisingly positive. Tamura is really the best female of the show. Murano is officially mentally challenged. Forget knowing only one line, not questioning how Shinichi fell from a three-storey building and casually jumped over walls, but apparently she can't even remember her former teacher now. Only difference between Ryoko and Reiko is the straightened hair. What is her deal, anyway? It's like she's just curious about Shinichi and worries for the hell of it. Whenever he makes a gesture towards her, she flips and runs, how does that make sense? I know she's supposed to be the ''worried love interest'', but she comes off as someone that's just there for the sake of being there. Currently she serves no purpose, is boring and annoying. Still a great episode, as expected of Parasyte. 4.5/5 ReaperCreeper said: I can just see Murano mistaking that for Shinichi's kid next episode. I wouldn't put it past her... |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What a crazy laugh... I liked the momentum though and action. Some of these parasites are just getting stronger and stronger. Reiko's role in this series is getting more and more interesting imo as she displays even more human behavior. Looks like no one is safe in this show especially for investigators. Great episode overall. HelghastKillzone said: All I can hear is Reiko Tamura yelling TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL  hahah yeah so funny. lol |
