whelp that's what Kana gets for thinking she is some special snowflake. She was a bae but kinda crazy at the same time too.

RIP

I still don't know why people really like Kana.

She was so dumb and stupid. Specially in this episode, where she was pretty annoying too.



she's quite attractive

or i could say the most attractive girl in this show so far

Art/Animation: Very on point this week. Lots of good visual effects, properly using close ups and such. There weren't any real dips in quality either. I liked the creepy veins on the parasite too.

Sound: NO "Are you Izumi-kun?" THIS WEEK, INSTANTLY BETTER! Other than that, the background music was nice but not anything amazing.

Story+Characters:
This episode was very well paced over all, much better than the previous slow episodes we got.

We got a bit more of an idea as to what the parasites may be planning. Becoming mayor so that he can create a hiding place of sorts and organize killings. Pretty creepy how they are infesting society.

I must say, Kana is significantly more... creepy.. in the anime... they really play her off as a legitimate stalker, kissing Shinichi's hair and such. Not to say this is bad, I actually think it makes her quite interesting. Unfortunately she died... so... ya... Kana's death was pretty obvious... it was foreshadowed a bit too much I feel. I liked the touch of having Shinichi just barely not make it in time. Also, him punching right through the parasites chest and ripping out it's heart... ya... SO FREAKING METAL!!

Kana's boyfriend... Don't remember his name... but I like how they didn't just paint him as a simple bully, he had his nice parts to him as well and you can see how destroyed he became over Kana's death, blaming Shinichi for everything.

Finally, the last bit of this... arc... I guess... Shinichi finally comes to terms with the fact that he is pretty much a monster now.

Now that this romance stuff is over, let's get back to the juicy bits of the plot, they probably could have sliced off a bit of this arc and I wouldn't have minded, oh well, when it was good, it was really good... just wish there wasn't as much repetitive dialogue.

Sad that Kana died ;( but really? We all knew it was going to happen, we all saw the death flag 4 episodes ago.

Still, Shinichi goes hard, ripping out hearts (^~^

This exactly, they just killed the most interesting character in the series. But to be fair characters are probably the weakest aspect of this show. It was a good episode though!

Last scene with Shinichi and Mitsuo was pretty raw, I hope its not the beginning of Shinichi's downwards spiral. Really good episode on the whole, excellent pacing, the tension with Izumi racing to find Kana before she got killed was really well done. Looking forwards to more episodes.

For real, this made me so sad ;-; R.I.P best girl..

Great episode. Good job Madhouse, are truly killing it (no pun intended)

It seems that those detectives at the funeral suspect Shinichi. I wonder what will happen to Shinichi now that Kana is gone. Waiting for the next episode will be a pain now that we have to wait till January.

As much as I wanted to see Kana die and the great amount of death flags in this episodes and the episodes leading up to this one, it was sad to see her go. I actually thought she going to make it when she saw Shinichi....

That was a really great episode. The suspense towards the end. I was shocked when Shinichi was able to beat this guy with like 20 seconds of time. Yeah, anger does that.

5/5. Kana will be missed.....

Honestly I'm confused, was I supposed to feel sad for Kana? Because I was rooting for her death, she was a creepy, delusional stalker with no redeemable character traits whatsoever. She was an awful character only made to fawn over our precious widdle protagonist. Blegh.

Poor Kana...

Though, at the expense of evoking some fan anger, she was just too stupid to live (considering what kind of show this is). Like Migi said, it was only a matter of time.

I do agree that she was the most interesting character in the show (stupidity and all). On the other hand, I find Murano a very boring character... hopefully she won't participate much.

Holy neko this was awesome!

Shinchii has got to be the most unlucky guy alive. First his momma is killed by a Parasyte, then he dies and comes back with Parasyte cells flowing through his blood, then he has to kill the Parasyte who killed his mom which also now looks like her, then his relationship turns sour with Murano, then the only other girl he wanted to protect, Kana, dies right in front of her with him unable to save her. Wow. That's a lot of bad luck for him. What's more, people are starting to question his humanity. Dammit this is just freakin awesome.

I feel sorry for Kana. First the guy she loved gets taken away right in front of her eyes, then she also dies even though she was so cute. I don't like it when cute girls die. It's so wrong.

The way Shinchii took care of that Parasyte, damn. He put his strongest weapon, Migi, on defense and took on the Parasyte with his bare hands and ripped his heart right out of his chest. Damn!

This neko is even better than FSN UBW. Way more badassery here.

Could see that coming the moment the episode started with Kana having that same dream yet they managed to show the kiss.

I am more sad because I will miss Sawashiro Miyuki's voice in the rest of the anime.

Care to elaborate why you find Murano annoying? Put yourself in her shoes and go figure what you would have done if the person you loved has had the same amount of change in personality as Shinichi had in a matter of days.

Shinichi this episode...wow, just wow.
I love you man :)

Kana dying however, sad, sad day for me.

Also, wouldn't her newfound powers, kind of, both help her and put her at danger.
We learned parasites don't go after one another, non purposely at the very least.
So by sensing their presence and avoiding contact she could've remained completely safe? I mean, they have no reason to change direction to go after the signal, right?

But yeah, establishing contact woule've been a death sentence soooo....
Still, I'll miss her. Or, well, I'll miss a hot girl in this show :p

It is naive to think that she is the only human with that power.
Maybe there will be a police force with people with these abilities killing parasites.
But Kana dying is not the worst thing that could of happened.
Migi could have saved her like he did with Shinichi, that would be worse -
-Migi would be even weaker,
-There would be a romantic drama in Shinichi`s life.

THIS exactly. Kana was not simply a stalker she was a dumb stalker and her death was her fault only. Even with her new special ability if she had only stayed more cautious and not go to dark, deserted, creepy places on her own(sic!) she would be just fine. Besides she wasn't even smart enough to learn from her own mistakes. Even in this episode she has mistaken Shinichi with some other parasite at least once, what the hell was she thinking just strolling after him later?

I don't really understand all those comments describing her as "interesting" or "best". Her only motivation throughout the series was to date Shinichi and her absolute lack of reason was almost unbeliavable. The only thing I was able to think about when she got stabbed was JUST DIE ALREADY. And even if I am a bit harsh on her the sad truth is that if you don't think fast - you die fast.

Boys like it when a hot girl is straight forward with her feelings towards a guy i guess its pretty sexy.
But lets be real here.Most of here (normal humans) would be paranoid as fuck if we knew that there were blood thrusty aliens in our town.Would i pull a hair to check someone and risk my life in doing so?Would i call an alien for a private chat?Would i chase aliens that i could feel hoping that i dont find those that will murder me?No ofc -_-

YES! I'm so happy the worst girl in the series is dead. R.I.P. stupid fucking bitch.

How many times did he tell her dumbass to stay the fuck away from that signal 5-7 times? Then she becomes a fucking stalker psyco who wears his hair on her finger like a wedding ring LOL. This anime went from 8/10 to 10/10 with her death.

Words cannot express how happy I am right now.
