Yeah pretty obvious that a parasite would take over his mom. Well...I guess he's gonna live somehow. His heart maybe evolves or something due to parasitic influence? Who knows

That was... tragic. Not even complaining about the OST. In some strange way, I think it fits.
Weirdly enough, I feel exactly the same way about the dubstep track used this episode, even though up until now I'd always found it very misplaced.

They should've animated the stuff about his parents enjoying their vacation at the hotel, it would've made the scene even more heartbreaking.

Is it me or Shinichi was so baka in this episode? he could have scared the hell out of those assholes before getting beaten up and humiliated in front of his girlfriend. Why doesn't he figure out that he's got a good weapon and try to act a little bit more self-confident relying on that? like how he did to those who were mistreating a cat.

And the way he reacted to his dad's call was also strange. I would definitely freak out but he was kinda too calm and even fell asleep. Wtf? something happens to your mom and that is how you react? sorry but not the ideal type of protagonist for me.

Another great episode, a lot of things happening at once
Poor Shinichi, took a beating in the episode, he lost his mother and was also stabbed
I am increasingly curious about the story, want to see what the protagonist will do now

The character design is pretty good, I'm enjoying quite ..

Nice. So far I've enjoyed this show as a bit of no-brainer entertainment, but it looks like it's finally starting to mature from a edgy shounen. Though the writing is still rather dim-witted; "The knife is in my way", oh pleeeeease. Migi can stretch all over the place, he could have killed her instantly, but the plot requires him to wait this time. At least come up with a better excuse.

Was he ever meant to be, tho?

Also about the weapon bit, don't you think he'd get in serious trouble if anyone were to see his hands turn into some big ass razor blades? That was like the whole point of not telling anyone about Migi.

God dammit, such a great series but I don't know if I can take much more of this after what just happened (and I feel as if it's going to become even more brutal) and the use of the ending song right after that, so fitting but so emotionally scarring. I just knew that "that" was going to happen...now I can't stop being restless unless I know more. Welp, probably going to have to read the wiki and manga now otherwise it'll be on mind all the time until next week.

I mean, I knew his mother was going to die, but I didn't expect her to be taken over by another parasite ;_;

Lol, Migi wanted to see Shinichi and Murano get it on. Shinichi sure does have some shitty luck. He gets beat up multiple times, his poor mom :( I really liked her too. I wonder where his dad is...

Excellent episode. Madhouse definitely delivered, I could really feel Shinichi's pain when his mom appeared at the house. Not even bothered by the weird dubstep.

The dubstep ruined the final scene. It was all emotional and depressing then all the sudden WUBWUBWUWBWUBWUWB like fucking SERIOUSLY?!?!

Other than that, good episode. The choice in BGM is mind boggling though. Who are these idiots in charge of the music?


Also, that bitch not staying the night after MC literally risked his life to save her. Dump her, dude.

This episode was so good, especially because of the buildup ep from last week.

Shinichi got stabbed in between his torso, so it missed his heart and lungs, he's okay :)

Awww man not his mom! He had like the nicest mom ever!

Cant imagine how devastated he was by that. Hopefully his dad is still alive though.

That Kana girl is kind of a bitch. She lets him get his ass beat, makes fun of him for it, and then stalks him to his house and is basically like "yo, we straight homeboy?"

No, no we aren't. You two faced bitch.

That OST when he was in the kitchen as his "mom" was walking towards the door. my gawd.

Godammit. This essentially means that any character can die at any moment, doesn't it? I feel like I'm watching Akame ga Kill. Just when I start liking a character, they get killed off.

I hope Shinichi is the one that kills that parasite by beheading it instead of Migi doing it, because that thing stopped being his mother the moment that thing took over. I feel just like Shinichi right now, full of anger.

From the preview, looks like Shinichi gets a spiffy new scar. Kind of ironic that he got it from his "mother", since his mother got the scar on her right hand from protecting Shinichi in the past.

Edit:

Seemed like Migi didn't have plans to take prisoners. Those bullies were about to be sliced and diced.


Those assholes were about to rape her (let's face it, they weren't going to take her out for tea). If I were Shinichi, I would have let Migi do it, and I would have joined in on the beatdown. Although I think Shinichi should teach Migi to take on a blade in a way that it looks like a knife, so he can defend himself while looking like a normal guy with a knife.

I thought Shinichi's standing up to the bullies was a fitting reaction given his fear in losing him humanity. Getting trashed because of that was pretty realistic, admittedly. I'm glad it worked out for him.

I get the feeling Kana will be more significant in the future. She's apparently far more perceptive than most. She even panicked briefly when she looked into Shinichi's eyes.

Seeing Shinichi's father's reaction to Shinichi's mother's death was horrible.

That ending was powerful. Shinichi's reaction was understandable given the circumstances. Having to kill your own mother (or, well, her body) would be... I can't even imagine it. I actually thought the dubstep was appropriate: Dubstep by nature sounds alien and intense, and that really helped drive the point that this isn't Shinichi's mother anymore. This is a stranger.

What a cliffhanger that was.

Tumblr may be ridiculous, but expecting sex from that situation is ridiculous too.

That would be very douchey; not much better than the guys that grabbed her, actually.

What the heck does "going full tumblr" even mean, anyway?

HOLY SHIT O_O!!!

I was "F*** NOOOO!!!" when I saw his mom and dad in the forest that looks like where that parasite was looking for a female body and then off with the head. Friggin cringed when Nobuko died D: JUST WHY?!?! F***N WHY?!

And Dat denial was so strong from Shinichi at the end. Poor guy. Totally understandable. Didn't expect him to get stabbed like that though O_o?! Has his body changed to an extent where he wouldn't die from a stab like that?

I'm guessing he'll be going into BA non glasses mode soon?

The first half was pretty cool too with Kana. Already loving her a lot and voiced by SawaMiyuki to add <3 I'm gonna love this girl. KanaHana and SawaMiyuki being the main girls <3

Gotta admit I lol'd so much at Migi's "What a disappointment...I wanted to witness human intercourse" when Murano refused to stay over XD Props to Shinichi for asking her though :P Not bad XD


yea, that was funny. what I like most is that Migi is so ignorant and arrogant character. only thinking about her own health. couldn't give a fuck about feeling. LOLZ

And Kana too, I wonder what she's going to do, having those superhuman senses.

Shinichi, open your eyes!
Having the person dearest to you just be gone like that is terrible, but Shinichi didn't want to believe it.

I want to see the next episode so badly.
After getting stabbed like that, I want to know!

Oh and the OST played when Migi realized there's another one of his kind nearby - just wow.



haha, yeah. but I see they are trying to make it most reliazeble. it's almost impossible for a human being to kill his mother or someone very close to that person. So I know why he is so shocked and freezed like we see him in that ep. but yeah, he should take action soon before his "mother" kill and eat others. Hmm, I should rather say fake mother. hahah, I like this series. it's very cruel. :P

Yea, the op gave us a hint about it. I had a feeling that she would become a parasyte (since we saw her face get sliced), but I never thought it would come so early. In addition, i actually thought and believed that her mother would come in the same case as Shinichi and not being all controlled, but that's too bad I guess. :(

WOW THAT GOT REALLY FUCKING DARK!

That parasite killing Shinichi's parents came right out of nowhere. Boy that left me in shock for a good 60 seconds.

Seeing as that girl can sense a parasite's wavelengths should make this really interesting!

Shinichi seems to be slowly losing his sanity though I probably would if both my parents died and if my mom got infected by a parasite.

THAT ENDING THOUGH HOLY SHIT THE CLIFFHANGER!

Best episode yet in my opinion.

This...this is an episode right here. It tore me on the inside to think about how agonizing that was for Shinichi to not only lose his mother, but to see her in that form. What's more, he's been weighed down with the regrets of not being able to make right by her. She's standing right in front of him and not a word will get through to her. That last "Mo...m...", holy shit man...
