Shinichi is so badass. Unlike a certain spineless little bitch, the guy can overcome hsi fears when he needs too.

Still, a mother knows Shinichi. A Mother knows. This show provided an example that no matter what, a mother will always know.

Also, Migi looked somewhat cute during that little separation bit. Kinda like a little dog, if not a little creepy with the eyes

The whole "a mother knows" concept is romanticized fantasy and honestly kind of stupid.

I can understand ryokos mother knowing, since she was being stoic and not responding like a human being, but shinichi's parents behavior so far has been retarded.

Mom: Shinichi yelled at me...
Dad: Was he spanking the monkey?
Mom: look of realization on her face

That was probably the best part of this episode, also, that animation quality seems to have gone down, if only by a little.

SolvitePriest is a grownup baby, who complains about everything, and despite that, he implies that other people are immature.
Next time can you please not spam the whole forum? Every 5th post is yours.
Now come on m8, Im sure you have better things to do.

Or atleast learn to argue, most of your arguments go like this:

Well that was intense. I kinda feel dumb for just noticing this now, but based on the OP, it seems Shinichi's mother is an alien or will be "hosted " in the future.

Those attacks were freaking fast and impressive to be honest.

Dat blood loss doe...

So Tamiya-sensei was the one to finish A-san off in the end.

Damn, a directive that said "devour this species", I wonder who gave them that directive...

Rather interesting that Ryoko's mother recognized that her daughter was no more.

LOL, Migi detached Shinichi's whole left arm and went dog mode by wandering around the room XD.

Shinichi really is changing... and he wasn't spanking the monkey XD.

At least he kinda managed to get things back to normal with his mother.

Is it just me but Shinichi seems so weak in both psychologically and physically?? I hope that he will turn out bad-ass soon coz I'm tired of watching anime with main character that always cry or shocked or terrified (mirai nikki, yes... its a good story but I honestly hate the main char). BTW: have not read any of the manga of this series yet...

He does seem more wimpy than his portrayal in the manga. That and the unnecessary change to a modern setting instead of being set in the 80's/early 90's are the only things that have been disappointing to me so far. Shinichi still has plenty of time to develop though.

There's your problem.

He's the same as in the manga, the big glasses just make him look nerdy and he will lose them in time like the OP shows.

The show is 99% like the manga. The only serious change is the modern setting... and dubstep.

This is getting more interesting. Nice battle, but it just last for a while.
I thought that the scar of Shinichi's mom is because of a parasyte or something like it, but no. That flashback was cute though.
What if Shinichi kill Migi when he's separated from his body, will he die or can he kill him? This is a cool twist.
What will Ryoko do after her child born?

Its explained better in the manga. Basically theres pretty much no reports of murders in the countryside. And the killings seem to have died down overall. Its still a bit odd to leave your son alone in times like that but i assume they think its ok because they dont think he will be out late at night or something. They assume he will be safe because everyone thinks its humans doing the murders.

like seriously, in the second gif neither of them is even moving.


Thats how it was in the manga as well. The human bodies aren't doing the fighting, the monsters are. I thought the plan was to use this as an advantage because the parasyte thought nothing of the human and it lead to his defeat as Shinichi did eventually move in for the kill which was unexpected to the monster.

Interesting episode. I wasn't expecting Ryouko to jump ship so quickly. It felt kind of forced, but I guess that partially has to do with what she is. Since she isn't exactly "human," you can't expect her to respond to things the way a normal human would. She doesn't come across as a true villain to me at the moment either. Maybe I'll end up liking her in the end? I don't know. It's still a bit too early to tell at this point.

"What, was he spanking the monkey or something?"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

In other news, I see Solvite is making a habit of frequenting the message boards for every popular anime of the season just to trash it and talk about how generic it is. Cool shit.

Why are people even talking about generic battle shounen as if they're trash? They may not be the best thing in the world, but there's some merit to be found in flashy battles, over the top music, and a colossal cast of characters.

was Shinichi fault, who put hot oil on such a high place known that there
is a kid in the house, its like it meant to happen.
but her reaction when it happen show just how good mother is she.

I'll say what is nice and refreshing about this anime is that the parents are actually in the protagonist's life and not off the face of the earth that is anywhere but their home.
It'd just be so messed up if his parents were killed or eaten all of a sudden.
