Yeah... I used to be a huge fan of konata from lucky star and migi shared the same seiyuu :)[/quote]

Or perhaps you can fall for this stunning beauty?



But yeah, I like Migi-tan more than Hidari-san.

There are a few things that drag this show down:

- Overall stupidity of secondary characters (we can all agree on that)
- Unrealistic scenes and timeline, eg: damn that baby came out fast, parasytes rampaging at school several times and 0 surviving witnesses...
- Repetitions: random thugs getting beaten up in the SAME fenced park/field, 'is it really you Shinichi?', migi spending his nights watching porn online...


Made me laugh, but it's also true :)

Forced drama is forced. Almost as forced as some people here trying to sound intelligent. The deduction abilities in this thread are simply amazing.

So much to look forward too for next week.
To actually lose your emotions, the very thing that makes you human, is just too much.

Great mellow episode from episode 12 though. Sigh, RIP Kana. I already miss your voice.

Thought there would be a new OP...

Shinichi is under watch by the group of parasites. I kinda agree with Migi when he decided that the investigator must be killed though that would mean mean that Shinichi's humanity would be over...

This sucks, this show really knows how to end each episode to make you anxious to watch the next episode.

Great episode, seeing how Shinichi tries but Migi took too much of the brain now which makes him unemotional. It looks like they are sharing that brain 50/50 now.

i hate it when Authors add characters like that, that has nothing to do with the story except love.
Well she does serve to keep Shinichi's humanity in check which is one of the major themes of Kiseijuu. I guess some people would rather just see her as a love interest but hey, to each his own.

she still doesn't do anything => boring Character.

Murano is still boring as ever. Only causing emotional trouble for Shinichi... I wish it was Murano that died instead of Kana........ I'm a bitch.

That stalker guy tho... He got his arm cut up by Migi and is using crutches, but still comes back next day...

And what is up with that nanny getting scared? Parents like these exist. Those who don't care much about their kids. and the baby did quieten down. I honestly thought he would go all parasyte on the nanny....

Shinichi should just talk "My mother has died", won't it solve the problems with Murano? She doesn't know this, right?


This is exactly what I am thinking and it's really bothering me that she doesn't know.
He should just tell her that his mom died and now his dad is drinking himself to death so she can cut him some slack. Not to mention is he supposed to act the same after all that craziness in his family and at the school. Goodness, she is such a pain.

It's back, and boy did shit go down here.

So now some third party has finally figured out that the boy with people dying around him left and right isn't just "bad-luck Brian", but actually might have something to do with each and every single incident that has happened, enough to at least keep tabs on him. I mean, Jesus, how many weird incidents does it take for ANYONE to notice this kid is bringing trouble?

First his mom dies, then his school gets attacked, TWICE no less, buy weird people with alien-like heads whereby all the wrecked stuff gets sliced so cleanly that it could have been done with a lightsaber, then he's the first to the scene to witness a dead girl get murdered by a killer who dies by getting slammed through a wall no less..... and no one at all gives it a second thought that ALL of the incidents have one particular character in common... JUST ONE.....
These Japanese detectives must have shit for brains.

How the hell is it that the ONLY person following him around is a private investigator hired only by another parasite?

Sorry, my bad, its an anime, so for sure everyone besides the MC and the parasites are complete unobservant idiots.

That said, I can't wait to see how stupid the private investigator is for not exposing Izumi for what he is to the public, or even reporting the matter to the cops and stuff.

That baby though..

Great to see the show make its return this week while there are all sort of delusions going on with Shinchi's head now. Poor him. He better not daydream in class again. Losing Kana has broken him quite a bit...damn. However, I am also curious to see how much further this will develop. Kinda amusing how Murano almost saw Shinchi's other hand though this episode. Close one

Based MIGI

Oh, really. I thought it were up in his head, but yeah that would scare the shit out of her. :P

I don't want to find out what kind of methods of "taming" Ryouko is using on her newborn.

Detective-kun was pretty lucky to make it out alive. Looks like Migi's wireless mode isn't that well-suited for combat yet. It looked like he nearly cut off his arm though. Shinichi was very unlucky that he was observed right after his dilemma started to intensify, due to recent events.

Pretty funny how he's actually being indirectly used as a lab rat by a group of parasites right now. The episode did a great job by portraying the emotional mess he's in right now, or lack of thereof. I guess Ryouko is even more satisfied with leaving him alive.

It somewhat ended on a cliffhanger again. I bet the people who will marathon this eventually will have a lot more fun.
hahah, that's so true. ;P

This has nothing with the ep or series to do, but could you please tell me how to get a picture at the bottom of your comment. I have tried with many pics and the only thing I get is with text that shows what I have been reading or watching recently. How can you get a clear pic without any text.

Shinichi Izumi, I know how you feel. You have recently dealt with innumerable challenges since having a parasite hand. You are repeatedly put into difficult situations, like explaining to Murano what you're dealing with, fighting parasites while avoiding to be seen by normal people, keep an eye for the investigators, cooperating with Migi, who is confused about the human person's feelings and thoughts, and etc.

Another great episode. It's pretty clear that I love this anime.

At this point I have to say,even though Shinichi's struggle against becoming less and less human is interesting,it's not enough to carry the entire show.
The supporting cast is pretty weak so far and that's need to change.

And another generic shounen show with forced drama and overall stupid characters.

It's already half of season and we still don't know what the parasytes are exactly. Instead of focusing more on them, we are forced to look at overused shounen romance problems our goody-two-shoes is having. In addition to that, even though he knows there are parasytes whose function is to kill humans, he still hasn't do anything about it despite his wishes to protect humanity and instead goes to school each day, not giving a fuck about anyone.

And how is it that no one save Murano figured out that Izumi has changed? Few other minor, easily forgettable characters have said that he's "too calm", but no one save for Murano, not even Izumi's own father, managed to see anything else. Not to mention, with so many disasters happening in Izumi's vicinity, you'd figure out someone will pick up that Izumi might have something to do with it as the common variable, but noooo, only one following Izumi is a private investigator hired but no one else but one of the parasytes... who somehow gave birth to 3-month old baby.

Also, is Izumi an idiot or what? He showed a rare speck of common sense to tell Kana about parasytes while Migi is asleep, but when he wants to tell everything to Murano, he does it while Migi is awake, risking her getting killed?

Resorting to ad hominem instead of attacking my arguments... Very mature and productive for the discussion. Especially when the first sentence is designed to get your attention.

Yes, elaboration is needed. You can't dismiss the opinion or argument by dismissing the person who presented that opinion or argument; instead, you have to shoot down the argument itself, which you didn't yet do. And let's leave UBW TV out of it - if you want to discuss UBW TV, do it on its subforum.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with bringing up problems with the series especially on MAL, though telling people their opinion is invalid because they gave another show a high rating is silly.

Plus, it's a good thing if the only problem he finds are those and he still gives the show a 9/10. Isn't that just the mark of the quality of how good the series is? No reason to use ad-hominems against others.

Kinda sad that I probably won't be seeing Aurioch here again for a long time because this is how he was treated when he really liked the show and just wanted to bring up what he thought was his problems with it.

Simple, criticism is done in the same matter by 2 different parties. You accuse people of being butthurt, fanboys, ect in one party, yet you say nothing to the other party for doing the exact same thing.
Both parties have valid points in their counter arguments, yet you call one party out for defending their views but you have yet to say anything to the other party for defending theirs.

I'll use Tone_'s post as an example, He did EXACTLY the same thing FSN fans do when defending the series. Yet you have yet to tell him to stop being butthurt, and that people can criticize whatever they like... ect ect ect

I don't see how? Knowing the source material in both series completely changes perspective of both series. Most of the criticism of FSN is based on unrealistic speculations or assumptions from what i've seen. If you want to talk about legit criticism, probably only like 10% of the entire posts on MAL could be considered legit.

You don't see how? In F/SN forums you all ( 3-4 people ) ganged up on a person who only said ''I am disappointed compared to F/Z which I just saw''. Comparing those is normal if you've seen F/Z first, you aren't gonna put your knowledge and memories of F/Z into trash can only so you can watch F/SN with no expectations. And there are more examples of this.

Here, however, the ''criticism'' was absurd and ridiculous. Expecting all answers and mystery to be revealed at 13th episode is stupid. Not to mention other extremely biased and closed minded ''criticism''. Unless that was a troll post which I highly doubt.

I see a huge difference between stuff here and in F/SN.

Just because there is more people in those subforums than there is here, I don't see how that matters. So one show has more active fans than the other, does that change anything? No, it doesn't.

You believe the criticism is "absurd and ridiculous" same way the FSN fans believe the criticism is "absurd and ridiculous." People are expecting answers in the first 12 episodes of FSN, I don't see how it's any different here.
Pretty sure the same could be said about that critisism being biased and close minded. I'll let you in on something, the majority of us saw F/Z first then went to read the VN. So that kinda kills your whole argument about comparing F/Z to F/SN. The difference is informed opinions vs speculation and assumptions.
That and personal preference which is never valid criticism anyway.

Pretty sure the same could be said about that critisism being biased and close minded. I'll let you in on something, the majority of us saw F/Z first then went to read the VN. So that kinda kills your whole argument about comparing F/Z to F/SN. The difference is informed opinions vs speculation and assumptions.
That and personal preference which is never valid criticism anyway.

You completely missed what I wanted to say. You don't see differences.

FSN and Parasyte aren't shounen. Stop acting like retards.

And another generic shounen show with forced drama and overall stupid characters.

It's already half of season and we still don't know what the parasytes are exactly. Instead of focusing more on them, we are forced to look at overused shounen romance problems our goody-two-shoes is having.
What the parasites are exactly? ...Parasites? Or maybe you're referring to their goals? iirc, that mayor stated previously in episode 9 that humans became toxin to Earth and that it needs a neutralizer. Well as for Izumi's problems, that's character development for you.. sadly it's not a "generic shounen" with mindless battles or anything like TG to say the least. Drama is in point and being forced is nothing but your opinion. The only thing I could agree with you is the load of dumb characters we've recently, but all I can say right now is that the 2nd half will focus more in far more interesting secondary characters (e.g. Ryouko, Mayor) with less school stuff.. so yeah!


Not goals, no. Who made them, from where they came etc.
Mayor's line about Earth requiring a neutralizer implies that someone created them in order to get rid of humans.
Apart from that implication, we got nothing about parasite's origin.

In addition to that, even though he knows there are parasytes whose function is to kill humans, he still hasn't do anything about it despite his wishes to protect humanity and instead goes to school each day, not giving a fuck about anyone.
you sure need to give him some time, he was just aware of the parasyte community 2 episodes earlier, not to mention his inner struggles and the misery he's facing lately.


Most of his misery comes exactly from parasites; eliminating them would prevent further misery.

And how is it that no one save Murano figured out that Izumi has changed? Few other minor, easily forgettable characters have said that he's "too calm", but no one save for Murano, not even Izumi's own father, managed to see anything else. Not to mention, with so many disasters happening in Izumi's vicinity, you'd figure out someone will pick up that Izumi might have something to do with it as the common variable, but noooo, only one following Izumi is a private investigator hired but no one else but one of the parasytes... who somehow gave birth to 3-month old baby.
Welp. "Easily forgettable characters" lol. None except for Murano in the school is memorable. His dad already mentioned that something's wrong with his son, he don't think he's a parasyte, but the police fucking did. Are you even watching this, for god's sake.


Ok, my bad, I forgot that his dad commented "Are you made of steel" at one point.
Still, you'd think that parent will check more often how his own child is doing after something like that, especially if his personality suddenly changes.
Also, you'd think that, after questioning Izumi after Kana's death and making correct conclusion that there should've been two parasites, police will put Izumi under surveillance already.
His mother was killed by parasite, his friend was killed by parasite, and school was attacked twice by parasites.

Also, is Izumi an idiot or what? He showed a rare speck of common sense to tell Kana about parasytes while Migi is asleep, but when he wants to tell everything to Murano, he does it while Migi is awake, risking her getting killed?
He never intended to tell her to begin with, it was a sudden decision. And why to tell her even? Kana's life was in danger, Murano's not. Actually, she might get in more danger by doing so.


You could say that Murano's life is in danger by just being close to him, especially since their school was attacked twice by parasites and she saw him jump from like 4th floor, while carrying her, without breaking anything, then him jumping over 4-5m fence.
She's already insanely worried about him, especially with him blatantly lying like that, so she might try to find out something on her own and get in danger that way. It would be out of character for her, but still it's a possibility.
Dropping the act next post
By the way, as my desktop PC is busted atm, I'm on laptop with doesn't have MAL updater installed... and I rarely bother to update things manually. So yeah, I'm up to date with episodes.

If HF ended up being a single movie, what would it need to do so it can get a high score from all of you?
