Why are there so many idiots in this show?

First, the dumb bullies who don't take warnings to heart, even when it's been shown that they have no chance in beating even Shinichi, much less Shimada (whom Shinichi specifically warned them not to cross paths with before). I get the feeling that those guys are still dumb enough to not listen and to try and get themselves sliced up later on in this show.


Well, this is fairly ridiculous. If thugs listen to reason, the world will be a better place and there won't be any thugs or bullies. Mitsuo, moreover, has beaten Shinichi pretty bad in the past. The fact he didn't succeed the second time could hardly be explained in terms of reason or recognition of power - Shinichi stopped him, it's nothing one would call 'beating". Mitsuo brought a whole gang against Shinichi the second time around, namely because he wanted to be sure they would get Shinichi good.

Second, that dumb Murano, seriously, you realize there's something wrong with Shimada, your brother tells you that there are human-murdering aliens who can shape-shift into other people, you've literally seen your classmate do the exact same thing with your own eyes, and yet for no good reason, you have to see him in a private classroom on like the fourth floor with no place to run and escape, to ascertain that he's a murderous alien and actually expect that if he is that he'll listen to your humanistic pleas to leave and never kill again? Maji-de? Are you a friggin' idiot? Nevermind, it's rhetorical.


That's not Murano, it's Tachikawa, and in fact the first time her brother denied the sketch was of a suspect. The authorities were looking for a serial killer, not an alien, but because of the strange stories, surrounding these murders (Tachikawa and Shinichi's school included after the incident with Mr. A), they make sketches and gather as much information as they could. One can hardly believe an alien is behind all those murders, hence the TV show that coined the "Big Mouth" chara.

Third, those investigators. So you're having a conversation about a certain extra-terrestrial species who happens to eat humans, why did you not post people up on guard so that innocent people, ala Shinichi, wouldn't walk in on this "sensitive" conversation? Why the hell would Murano's brother even TELL her about the case? He could have just shrugged it off as some practice assignment instead of spilling the beans right? Do you REALLY want to keep the matter under wraps and NOT spread panic to the general populace? Yeah, I can totally see that, you cops are doing a "GREAT JOB" of that.
::Que sarcastic slow applause::

Seriously, apart from the new Shinichi, Migi and the aliens, every else in this show has been acting like monkeys with pea-sized brains here.


I'm sure that in the beginning they acted as the local police, where Nobuko was killed, but during the conversation with Shinichi's father, it's clear that they know a lot more, albeit having no living sample to hard-proof the aliens' involvement. In its due time, it would become clear why they searched in the wrong direction, as hinted in episode 1. Unless you're saying that if someone comes to tell you "The aliens did it" and you will believe him ... -_-
Anyway, the police has been investigating disappearance of people along with the murders, which is to note they had problems to identify who was the victim and who was the murderer. It's quite serious situation NOT to warn your family members, although Tachikawa's brother alert was rather lenient, making the same mistake Migi made about the distribution of the "monsters" across Japan, when Shinichi's parents decided to go on their trip despite the increasing reports about the murders Shinichi's dad had been following since episode 1.

We all know that Tachikawa should have told her brother and his colleagues about Shimada, and this is undeniable truth, especially after seeing his head deformed and his face changed. Maybe she still believes she can reason with Shimada, because, fake or not, he looks human to her. She is completely unaware of how much different Shimada is, but that's because she hasn't read the manga :D

Beat down or not, the attack began from behind and ended in a few seconds. An arrogant guy who thinks he is tough is gonna think about revenge. "Surely, Shimada punk got lucky with his surprise attack from behind". If anything, getting ganged up on by Shin'ichi's school mates would have given him the idea to grab his friends and go 6v1 on Shimada. And he was also mad about Shimada messing with Kana. There is no reason to lay off Shimada. He thinks Shimada is just some high school guy who messed with "his girl". Him getting beat up by other guys would actually make him more likely to take out his anger on someone else not back off.

Second part, this is where I agreed with you. The courage to be stupid means she is stupid but she had the courage to be. It seems you misused the term "mutually exclusive". If courage and stupidity were mutually exclusive, then only one could apply at any one time. If she does die from this, then she'd have died for what she believed in on top of having discovered the truth. For a warrior, there is no greater honour!

Third part, you don't even need good hearing to hear the front door of your house open when you are inside. I hear it every time. Putting people on guard is obviously gonna raise suspicion. From the looks of things, they did take precaution. Sitting inside a room in the house, door to the room is closed, who can listen in?

Tachikawa's brother did not spread any baseless rumours in the least. He said it like it was. A monster going around killing and eating people. It is the truth. He probably knows his sister better than anyone else. High school girls being big gossipers is just a stereotype. You saw she told no one at all and even call her stupid for it.

That's a stupid reasoning and decision anyway. He doesn't trust Migi, yet fully knows that it only use logic to deduce its decision-making. His father already notified him and Migi told him that there's a parasite before Shinji opened the door.

I've never in my life wished for the death of a MC in a series until now.

You should try looking at the situation from the MC's perspective, not from yours.


The MC should be more alert about the parasyte since he has a host in the arm. He's such an idiot and deserved to die.

If one of my family members got eaten by Zombie and lost conscious/reasoning, I'm not going to wait until they kill me. He's suicidal

I had been seeing people saying the girl was dumb to confront the guy at the end. Well, my reaction was exactly like the norm; 'How stupid can the girl be to confront the person alone?' But after thinking more, I can't say the girl is exactly stupid.

Well, I can.
If you're a random normal person and your reaction upon learning (or having a well-founded suspicion) that someone at your school is a murderous man-eating monster is to confront the guy in a remote place and tell them you know their secret identity, you truly deserve a darwin award. Seriously, it doesn't get any more stupid than that.
And nevermind preparing a "weapon". That wouldn't make it any better even if it was a human killer they were dealing with, and she already knows it isn't.

Ok so Shimada is pretty awesome. That glasses girl is now the most stupid person in the series for trying to talk to the murderous parasite monster alone in an empty classroom instead of just reporting it to the police. I did kinda like seeing Shimada's face when he found out though, it was priceless.

Poor Murano. It must be so creepy for glasses girl to see his face morph. Can only imagine how unsettling that would be in real life. Because of the serious tone of the show the calming ED always throws me off x.x the music for the previews at the end are a really nice touch though

Another episode of Murano running her mouth off about things she has absolutely no comprehension of. Talk shit get hit. Time for that get hit part.

And lol fucking kuso megane. This might be a cannibalistic monster that's slaughtered and mutilated countless humans, so the best course of actions is obviously to talk to him alone to confirm his identity. Acid and/or art tools will definitely ensure my safety.

I don't even

But damn, Izumi is so alpha none of the girls in the series can even handle him. What . A. Character.

I'm so glad he told Murano to shut up. How many times is she going to ask that question? And the other girl who tried to negotiate with a monster that eats humans is a complete moron?The females on this show seem to be morons. Two almost got themselves killed and the the third (Murano) is just annoying.

Of course now Izumi is a badass that has the parasites and humans scared. I'm glad he isn't the same whining character from before. I don't know why all those girls liked him when he was weak and annoying.

Shinichi yelled at Murano, damn, he should think of his actions first.

Yuuko is the first human who ever seen a parasyte with her own eyes. Shinichi: "THAT IDIOT!" that was embarrassing in the class.

I hate cliffhangers yet I like it, it makes me want to watch more.

I can't wait for another week!! I love this show.

FACEPALM


It feels like Izumi likes to let off a violent outburst at every worst possible time, making himself look like a weirdo as well as driving his family/friends away from him.

Still badass though.

I think Mitsuo is getting used to having his ass kicked XD.

Ah, a young Shinichi and Murano, once upon a time.

Damn, Hideo's starting to figure out Migi's weakness...

Ohooo, it looks like the Government or w/e those guys belong to have realized the threat and are taking measures.

Damn, Yuuko saw what Hideo really is... I fear that he'll take her out if he finds out...

Ah, so that Yano guy is their leader and he realized how dangerous Shinichi is.

Of course... Shinichi snapped at poor Murano...

Yuuko... you stupid girl...

Now that's quite the cliffhanger... I hope Shinichi will be able to save Yuuko from Hideo T.T

No she didn't think that. She didn't know if he was a killer or not which is why she confronted him in the first place. And she was pleading, not threatening.

Omg who would ever be stupid enough to tell an alien that she knows what he is.. whatever's coming, it serves her the right.
And about Shinichi, I really hate that he's not thinking enough before acting. It's not normal for human to jump 3 meters high obstacles and so on. And he's just letting the enemy know what he's capable of. Stupid, just stupid.

Sorry, but when Murano asked AGAIN if he was Izumi-kun and he yelled at her, I had to laugh. To me she was really annoying asking that every f**king episode. I know she is worried, but she asks this every time! And also, that's a pretty weird question
Also, "I should talk to Shimada-kun first"
WTH!! HOW CAN THIS BE A GOOD IDEA?! Is she dumb or what, who think is better to talk alone in a empty room with someone you think is a monster? Seriously, she went full retarded, I can't believe it
But I'm happy that the government knows about them. The story is progressing somehow

Kana always wears ear-muffs. Parasite had a failed attempt at getting to the brain. Now is either controlling a part of her body that she's not aware is growing a face and has a mind of its own, or the parasite is dormant and waiting for something, or she's got a lot of broken up parasite in her blood, which gives her the ability to sense other parasites around her.

Actually she knows he is an alien. She doesn't know if he is a murderer.

She doesn't get nothing, she will no longer have to doubt the person she likes or she gets killed or both. Either way, she'd be able to rest in peace.

She can't die this episode. It's already over >_<
Nothing changes,its still stupid and unrealistic...What she did is no different from cutting your wrist willingly,aka suicide...And i meant next episode <_<

I didn't say it wasn't stupid but you should at least call her stupid for the right reasons. How is it the same as wrist cutting?

She is trying to keep a secret, of course she is not gonna tell anyone. If she tells someone, such as her brother it could lead to shimada be hunted. Then either shimada is gonna get killed and/or he will kill people to protect himself, turning him into a murderer even if he wasn't one before. The guy she likes dies OR will be a murderer. Not knowing for sure if he is a murderer or not, she cannot do it because she is a nice person as shown by her stupid actions. She wants to settle things peacefully.

She can't confront him in a non-empty classroom because then a whole bunch of people will know his identity. Which means secret will be out.

Best thing to have done was not tell anyone but stalk him to find out the truth. Too bad she was brave and impatient.
I have no doubts that she is nice,or she likes him but there is no way she can settle anything like that..."Are you a murderer?" there is not even a single logic in that kind of question...As you said she should have stalk him more(still stupid and risky but there is a logic behind it),tell about him to her brother(most logical but she wont do it because she apparently fall in love with him in that few days) or forget about that guy...Asking him is something even a 7 years old wouldnt do in real life...
