RIP Reiko :'( I can't believe I like her character this much that actually cried especially when the ED song played in background. This is such an emotional episode.

A good episode. But the awesome music got old ages ago, what's up with the sound team? It's like the composer only made a select few soundtracks for this anime. I like to believe the recycling was planned by the composer.
The pacing is slow, and the scenes used in flashbacks from the beginning of the anime seems they are there because the creativity is running low.They keep appearing again and again, and are loosely concentrated on the plot. Don't get me wrong, if I'm so upset with an anime, it is because I love it a lot.

Man I'm such a crybaby. Can't believe the death of Tamura would make me tear up a little. It's because of those stupid flashbacks and freaking OST that blends so damn well to the scene. And when Shinichi finally cried I just kinda lost it too dammit this is why I hate dramas.

anyway woah! what's the deal with that Uragami guy?

Why Reiko? She was a key element to this parasyte thing. As I said, I was sure she will help him at some point. Also, she evolved very much.
Feel sad for her.

The only time I shed tear while watching Parasyte was for the best character of the series thus far, no regret I say. Amazing penultimate to Shinichi regaining his human side. Rest in peace, Reiko.

The criminal by the end was funny. I guess prison life sucks for the guys, all the pent up desire explode once he sees a woman. Lmao.

Damn I went through roller coaster of emotions..
I didn't even realize myself sobbing I just felt a salty liquid inside my mouth, seeing Shinichi crying didn't help the situation at all x'D .. when he looked at Murano with one eye tearing I completely lost my shit and cried like a loser.

why do they have to kill Reiko when she became a good character.. ;-;
I'm so excited to see Shinichi return to be a more of (human)?I felt so happy when he cried..
also that prisoner .. that scene was probably the funniest thing in this series xD

Ah, man. I was waiting to see this adapted for years since I read it, and I finally got around to watching it. They did a really nice job with this episode. All the tension with Shinji that's been building up was manifested well in the scenes that took place.

Kana's spirit got in contact with Murano(Kana). Dat Kana-Kana effect.

My eyes got all watery during Shinichi's flashback, especially when Kana appeared. Shinichi got his tears back.

Unfortunate Reiko had to die. She was interesting.

Wow, such an amazing episode.
Turns out Tamura really was getting more and more human because of that child. Shinichi's flashbacks were sad D:
So glad he was able to cry again tho XD. For once we can say his heart got a little warmer *.*

And wow, that investigation is really intense. Wonder what's gonna happen next... 'Cause if they find out Shinichi is half parasyte, his heart might not be warm for long.....

I guess the last episode being all about Reiko was a flag after all... I thought she'd stick around until the end.

With Reiko gone, the new character seems like he will spice things up a bit to fill the void until we get to Gouto again.

YAY Shinichi can finally cry, and poor Reiko, hopefully her baby can find a good home.

Also, that ending tho!

That was a realy hard watch. I thought she would go out in spectacular fashion but it in fact was the opposite. I though she would end up dying in the ending of the show but didnt. It was heartbreaking seeing her defend the baby and she managed to achieve some humanity. Even though She deserved it since she was a murderer but she obviously was not aware of it from the get-go. My heart was shattered into pieces, Shinchi finally regaining some of his humanity. Crazy prisoner, that stare in the end was horrifying. Anyways, i think this was the best episode yet. I felt more emotional in this one than in Kana's episode, which was still good.

And the only good female character (though she's actually a genderless alien) in the show died. She evolved so much that her thoughts have become too unpredictable like a human. Though I would have preferred for her to die in a more spectacular fashion considering the incredible development she had, this was still a nice touch. She has finally gotten into terms with her human emotions and felt some form of satisfaction with her understanding of human nature and her death paved the way for Shinichi to reconcile with his feelings for his mother and eventually regained a part of his humanity. This just goes to show that parasites are capable of evolving to the point of understanding something abstract and out of reach from their logic if they put more thought into it. Tamura Reiko's inquisitive nature and her intelligence was really an interesting factor in the show. She has begun to question matters beyond her instincts and has continuously sought an answer to them. Just like humans, the more answers she discovered the more questions she welcomed into her thoughts because thinking is an infinite process. Rest in peace, Tamurai Reiko; one of the few characters I ever liked in this series.

Reiko's death hit hards not because it got overly dramatic scene nor overly heroic scene also, not even helped by great music, it got us because the amazing build ups and developments from past episodes. In the end we realized Reiko turned more human than some humans do. A character to be remembered indeed.

One of the best episodes so far. But I didn't like that they killed off such an amazing character that still had potential to develop.

This entire arc was one feels trip. At first, Tamura laughed at how Shinichi's mother was killed by one of her own, but then she reached Shinichi's house and stumbled upon the pics of him and his mother. She even started holding her baby in a more humane way. Sad to see her go like this, when she just started to learn about being a mother.

Also, this face bringing everything full circle, and closing the hole in Shinichi's heart. Was almost in tears.

Tamura was such a great character. She went from being one of the most threatening villains to wanting to bring peace between parasites and humans.

While she was my favourite character, I still loved her death. It showed us that humans were also the monsters for killing someone who was at that point the closest to an "innocent" parasite we were getting. Yes, she could have been developed further, but that makes her death even more sad if we think of how she could have become such a great person, yet that possibility was taken from her. We also saw how Shinichi began to care for her on some level, which was evident from his tears.

RIP Reiko T_T she was a good mother after all. That compilation with Reiko reminding Shinichi of his mother was very emotional. The OST keeps on being awesome. That guy at the end seemed to recognize Shinichi's nature so I wonder how he's gonna get out of this.

One of the best episodes so far. Maybe the best?

After watching it, it is pretty obvious that death only improved Reiko character development. Remember that about 2-3 eps ago she said that she will use her child as a shield? Now she was shielding the baby. Damn, that was great turn of event.

When she was controlling the situation she was spewing bullshit and playing tough, but when cornered she realized that she has feelings for the baby. That is some great writing. Especially the scene with her trying to reach Shinichi`s emotions BY turning her face into Shinchi`s mother. Episode ago we saw her witnessing the pictures of Schinichi family from the past.

This scene was pretty powerful because the fact that if Reiko has changed her face to Shinichi`s mom in ANY of the previous EP it would have be seen only as mocking. This episode it felt genuine because she was really showing mother`s love.



And pointless Murano`s bashing again. She have seen police, a dead parasyte and Shinichi that is alive. She was glad that Schinichi is back. What`s wrong? I would also care the most about the person that is close to me other than some parasyte lying dead. Also she have seen far worse with her entire class minced to meat or the first killer attack. Seeing the police means one thing - Shinichi is safe.

Dang, this was an amazing episode. Too bad Reiko died, but her development in terms of not retaliating, protecting her baby, turning into Shinichi's mom again, and asking him to take care of her baby was just so well done. Especially with the music too! My only qualm is how weird the scene with Murano is, I feel like it would've made more sense if we saw Shinichi crying first then she said the "you're back" stuff ... anyway, the second half is interesting, is this Uragami guy able to sense parasites like Kana? Oh boy, what a glare in that last moment and what a creepy guy too :P Hopefully Shinichi will be able to get out of this >_<

Yeah it was sad seeing that scene, she was genuinely evolving and learning to be something other than "just another parasite" eating humans for their supposed "food"

Also uhoh, seems Shinichi is busted O.O

Dang that was sad. I actually didn't expect her to care so much about her baby. Like enough to die. I didn't expect her to go that way. It was too simple. She's so strong but at the same time it made me like her mom because that was sad.
And shinichi crying made me sad. I guess realizing that the baby didn't have his mother made him think of his mother and then all the sad stuff. But I'm glad he finally cried. I felt like he needed to because it felt like he was really losing his humanity. But yikes. That guy at the end. I hope they don't find out anything about shinichi. He's just trying to do the best he can.

Didn't expect Reiko to die the way she did, but she was irritating so good riddance I say. Seems like Izumi will get suspected a bit heaver from now on since that serial killer apparently has a similar ability to Kana.
