It's really short. Just to learn that he got the virus, too.

Like it was announced on the scroll, uncensored ver. of eps.1 to 3 will be released early through March issue of Earth Star (releasing February 12, 2014).

So now they explained what happened before the start of what is episode three? Um... okay.

And is it just me, or were some scenes dark? And not because of the censor, like the lighting was really poor as though it was to hide some bad animation, or the lack of it anyway.

An okay episode. Just glad they decided to fill in the massive gaps of episode 3.

And does the brother have to eat human flesh as well? Is he, like, self cannibalizing?

So Pupa is a virus that gives you regen powers but tortures you with an unbearable hunger

This ep was good

But i still think it's to short :/

The pacing in this show Is excruciating. Seriously if you make each episode 3 min then you better get a lot done in that time frame, but nooooooooooo that's too hard. The last episode was not bad at all, my faith in it was growing, but after seeing this......its gone lol.

The source material isn't really very outstanding and this adaption is horrible. That can only result in being dropped.

But man.. this is the third show I'm dropping today...

For some odd reason the only thing that stood out to me was the clover hair pin the brother had. I mean I've seen it on before in previous episodes but it just stood out to me this episode. And the words "IM FABULOUS" were just basically being said to me. Don't ask, a show like this does things. Lol

I actually think this is the best episode so far! At least this time half of the manga material was animated, and the episode itself finally managed to make some sense.

Another half that was omitted are



At this pace, Studio DEEN is animating 1 anime episode = 1 manga chapter, which left me puzzled as there are 35 manga chapters out there, but we only have 12 episodes?

Mars of Destruction is tolerable because it's laughable even while it tried to take itself with an iota of seriousness. Pupa is just trying too hard to be impressive, and is a pain to get through. (MoD at least was kind enough to be one episode.)

I asked myself the same question, but if its like that, his sister should also have the regeneration power, and then they'd eat each other.
Or maybe the virus acts differently from person to person.

I was trying to figure out if the brother ate those guys he killed or if his variation of Pupa doesn't make him hungry? Anyway, as unspectacular as this is I still want to know what's going on and what that lady stands to gain.

The fact that the episodes are so short really makes it hard to like any of the characters nor remember the plot aka what happened so far.
