God damn it.. his mom was nice too. Not too surprised this happened though. The whole trip was just far too convenient a plot device for it to not happen.

Yeah because only people on Tumblr don't think women owe men sex. This is an anime discussion, if you want to start drama please do it though a DM so it doesn't clog the board. Thanks :-).


Because nobody would have given it a second thought if the genders were reversed.

Say a guy was saved by a girl who risked her life, then the guy just leaves when the girl invites him to stay. Then I leave a comment saying "What a douche for not staying. Girl, you deserve better than him". Nobody would have fucking given me shit for it.

That's why he went full tumblr, and that's why you never go full tumblr. So get off your pedestal SJW.

Are the streets in Japan really this dangerous? High school must be though over there! Shinichi has to learn to trust in Migi more if they want to survive.

From the opening, it was always obvious that Shinichi's mom would become a parasite or a victim. And I saw that coming as soon as they left in the earlier episode. But I still felt bad. And the denial from Shinichi in the end was really strong. I think this was the best episode of the entire fall anime lineup.

WOW! I was not expecting that to happen to Shinichi and his family!

Hopefully he will seek revenge on those parasytes even more now!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

What i love about Shinichi is that he's weak but he's not a total fucking bitch like a lot of pussy main characters.. He's still REAL you know?

Also damn losing his mom.. can't believe they already pulled out the big guns. That whole side story with the oil burn really hits home hard... Made me completely sad when they first told it and now seeing her killed by the parasite.. Damn it just really got to me lol

i really liked the piano ost

and love how those other guys backed shinichi in time

but the denial at the end was so strong.. especially since the body was right in front of him. but that stab to the chest should bring him right back to reality..

God, I remember this chapter, this is where Parasyte really steps up it's game, also, like the character design for Kana, better than her design in the Manga.

I think that the whole point/theme of the story is how he goes from a weak-willed protagonist to a determinator.

Its natural for some people to be in-denial over their love ones death. So you guys should stop saying why Shinichi's such a wimp. Oh come on.

Anyways, I knew it, Kana would be here! Dat cliffhanger tho.

But oh Migi, wants to see a live show.
The world shall know the truth soon.

This is stupid. No matter what the situation, if you were in his place, would you be able to slaughter your own mother without a second of hesitation?


First that was more than second of hesitation on Shinichi's part, also who wouldn't be shocked at the site of their creature mom. The problem is Shinichi shock seems more of a result of his weak character which is apparent by his denial that his mother is now a parasite. Second after the initial shock that my love one was now some creature, I would easily move to kill them be it they were my mother, wife or even my own child. Maybe it's result of my time in the military or maybe I'm heartless person but is it really that strange for someone to be perceptive of a really dangerous situation.

He cant recover from that kind of shock in matter of seconds after seeing the actual thing. In his mind he is rejecting that possibility. Its a kind of nightmare or tragedy that he doesn't want to acknowledge because its related to something too close to him that he absolutely doesn't want to loose.
Shiniji might also be blaming himself for letting them go on a trip so that he gets his redemption.

Kana got introduced along with some hooligans who were beating up Shinichi's classmate.

That was the most fucking badass episode yet in this series. Shinichi's mom. Oh no, she got taken over. I hope his dad is okay. He got stabbed too. I'm sure it's not in the heart or any vital spot. I desperately yearn for the next episode so badly.

Daaayum I almost cried. The fact that Shinichi couldn't accept the reality was kinda stupid of him. Of course it would shock you, but still...

Well, I guess I wouldn't know. I can only imagine what I'd do. @~@

Why is Kana even with that guy in the first place? Would've liked to see Shinichi unleashing Migi and owning those punks but at least they got their just desserts.

Damn... I think I would also be as hesitant as Shinichi though probably not to the extent of wanting to chop off Migi.

The call from his father the night before was already putting him on edge and now he sees his mother as a parasite. Definitely more than enough to go insane.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

I loved it, it was awesome.
Although I do feel bad for him, he was really attached to his mother.
But who thinks going on a vacation with so many murders out there.
Well at least it seems he still has his dad.
I think Migi calling him weak and after his mother's dead, he will take karate classes or go White Kaneki lol
Now thinking about it, it would be interesting a ghoul vs parasite battle :D

Pretty good episode, particularly the Kana girl who comes across as very intriguing so far and the final scenes with Shinichi's mother. Lol at those few thinking he should be able to kill the Parasite who look exactly like his freaking mother when he sees her. I mean, come on......

Damn, this episode. It was inevitable for this to happen.

Kana is already more interesting than our boring main heroine. Hope she stays as a recurring character.

And damn those bullies. If I was Shinichi I would take advantage of Migi and beat the living hell out of them.

Was Shinichi's mom's uh.."parasitization" always been included in the OP? This is the first time I noticed and then it happened T___T

Can't really blame Shinichi. Was he stupid and lame? No, that's the mental defense mechanism called "denial" which happens when one can't cope with the overwhelming despair. He struggled over not being normal and now his mom's one of those things.

At least Shinichi's father seemed to have survived.

Weird how Shinichi was acting all wimpy this time against a bunch of punks, when he was quite badass fighting the Parasite guy last time.

Epic lols at everyone saying Shinichi is a pussy. Far too many kids here apparently don't know shit about human psychology :/ The realism of this story illustrates quite well just how much storytelling in anime and manga has devolved over the decades, being mostly (mostly) stereotypical rehashings of stories told a dozen times already.

About the bully thing, it just shows that our protagonist is still (physically) an ordinary human boy, who can't yet hold his own against experienced fighters without Migi to help him out. The main reason I love this series is because of the awesome character development.

You know, you actually have a point there. Your first comment is still pretty sexist, but you do have a point. Long live double standards! :D
