Hmm.. if that's how you look at it I guess that's your choice. I really didn't see it being done in a mean spirited way though. It's not telling you to not eat meat, Migi was basically using logic and facts to point out that Shinichi is wrong for calling parasites demons. It's more about the human perspective rather than insulting humans themselves.

I probably wouldn't have even given it a second thought if not for the next scene having the MC preach about how animals are living things just like us so don't harm them. That's when it really clued me in.

No, I will give you that... someone brought it up earlier and I never really thought about it before but ya, that scene was... however badass and showed character growth.. kind of.. weird and unnatural in terms of realism...? Idunno, it painted those teenagers as kinda.. TOO awful... maybe it's cultural differences but Idunno, I think that's the first time the modernizing made it a bit jarring... maybe a couple decades ago something like that was more common but this day in age no one would ever do something like that.

I forgive it.. a bit.. because it did showcase some character growth and foreshadowing but ya, still weird and still hard to accept.

However, I think perhaps that was just a coincidence, trust me when I say the show doesn't really preach ANTI-MEAT EATERS. Well okay, you don't have to trust me but I do hope no more of this sort of stuff does happen, otherwise it might make me look to the manga again... not saying it isn't preachy just... I don't remember it being preachy.. in 'this' way... lol

Migi didn't shame meat eaters, he doesn't shame anyone, he lacks empathy and guilt, he would get no pleasure out of that. Is the SHOW insulting meat eaters? No, it's just bringing up a simple question. Would we have the right to call a species demons if they showed up all of a sudden and began eating us? What makes us better than the parasites?


No, of course Migi didn't. I meant the show itself. Maybe all those crazy libs on the internet are getting to my head, but when I hear a show keep talking about how people kill animals for consumption in this manner, I definitely get the feeling of a vegetarian telling me how I shouldn't eat what I do.

What's up with the demons and eating living beings comparison anyway? Demons aren't known for what they eat. Demons are known for trickery, lust, greed, temptation, persuasion, and hatred... but not what they eat. Most people couldn't even tell you what a demon eats, or if they even eat at all. It's just pretty sketchy. I definitely do see blatant agenda pushing though.



If you pull up some quotes or scenes then I would be more inclined to understand your point, but I don't see the "message". As an extension on Keten's word, the show itself doesn't seem to be portraying such a message; it's theme is precisely the values that Migi presents, a classic example of philosophically imagining a perspective beyond what one is actually capable of doing. I think the demon part is just a metaphorical comparison, it's not literal demons but just represents what we, as humans, would think supersedes/oppresses us, it would the same as calling others "monsters", which is often used in subjective context.

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I can't fucking believe it. They went full PETA on us. There were multiple instances where they shamed people for eating meat and referred to people who do as "demons", then later they go on about how "animals are alive just like us!".

I can't fucking believe they put this propaganda in here. I don't care if it was in the manga or not. Going to reconsider finishing this, and definitely will not if this is a reoccurring theme.


Nah, the series doesn't show it well, but it's more about lack of compassion and pragmatism. Migi is supposed to be very insect-like, doing only what suits it. It is a broader and more interesting topic than just eating habits.
Dunno though if Madhouse will be able to pull it off.

Generally speaking, while it sure is another story about puberty, it focuses on the process of growing up and taking responsibility, not only sex.

Does anyone know who is working on the soundtrack for this? I'm really enjoying it so far, especially the ones used in this episode when Migi minced the other parasite, and the one during the cat in the sandbox scene.
Ken Arai is the person who is in charge of the series' music/OST. You can look him up :)


Oh, thanks! Can't wait for the soundtrack to be released.

Parasyte does it again. I absolutely loved the scene with the other host and Migi. Gotta say, usually, I expect more animes of a season to suck after the first episode, but this season seems to have a bunch of solid shows from Parasyte to Amagi and Grisaia. Really looking forward to how they adapt the rest of the story and where the plot goes (if they can keep the penis hand, they can pretty much do anything in this)

I'm really digging this show, but did it really need dubstep? Regardless of how I feel about that genre of music, I can't help but feel that it's tremendously out of place here.

That would be weird... cuz Migi can feel the presence and distance to others of his species
i would imagine that she's only asking because she is seeing some change in him.. and they hinted that a few times
like him taking that spider out and reacting like he didnt even realise what he did when he used to be scared of it.... and rapidly changing from regular school guy to superhuman agility and confidence
and that "Want me to eat you" glare... gives me the impression of "oops it may be just the hand but its infecting your brainz anyway"
i havent started reading the manga so i can only guess // lets see what happens

I didn't really like this one as much as the first one, maybe because the hype is gone now..
Anyhow I'm a bit skeptical on the way they are adapting this.. there are A LOT of changes, they are minor so far but it makes me worried about what will come later on, I would prefer it if they didn't change the setting to present time. But it's still great and I'm looking forward to more of it.

Let's be honest, that is probably what most people would do.

Let's be honest, the situation itself was ridiculous. Doing that when the park entrance is literally 10 seconds away? Three teenagers without bikes or any quick means of escape? You must live in some pretty ghetto neighborhood if you think the natural reaction for most people would be to simply ignore it and walk off. If they weren't physically able to intervene they'd at least call local authorities or simply knock on some doors in the surrounding area. Not simply 'Let's fucking walk off'.

This anime is weird as fuck but enjoyable :D

Can't wait to find out more about that couple at the end of the episode, seems like an interesting story (yeah, haven't read the manga).

Was it just me or was Shinichi not always his usual self? He had these moments when it felt as if Migi spoke through his mouth, which is most likely not possible since Migi did not gain control over his brain - and that just confuses me a little.
