| Don't know how well the anime is following the manga, but it's felt really fast paced. Migi's death didn't even have much impact on me, it was like "Oh, he died. Welp, time to move on" Seriously. Two episodes left, so let's see how things get wrapped up. |
    |
| MIGI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T_________T |
| Migi =/ I have a feeling that he will come back, but I still sad... Let's see whay Shinichi will do... |
 |
| I didn't really feel Migi's death at all. It felt less dramatic than I'd thought and its sacrifice seemed a bit out of character. It definitely got a lot closer to Shinichi during the course of the series, but it always prioritised his survival no matter what. On the positive side, the scene where Shinichi runs towards the mountain at the end of the episode looked good and I kiked a few soundtracks used. Looking forward to the final showdown next week... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Migi? MIGGGGGGGGGIIII PLS COME BACK! I KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE PLSSS This episode was awesome I never imagined migi would do something like that :O Woah Migi |
Borgov said: Although for slightly different reasons, that's pretty much how it's been boiling down for me. I had this set at a solid 9 by the end of episode 12, but now I'm realistically looking at an 8 assuming the ending is satisfactory. I feel like the original point of the show was completely lost on this mayor plot. The calculating, unrelenting Migi. Shinichi slowly losing his humanity with no recovery in sight. The isolation between him and his peers. Hell even the biggest question, where the parasites come from, is most likely not even going to be touched on before the end. At least, not in a coherent manner.Going to say something unpopular but each episode is bringing the score down for me. This show was a solid 9 in the early episodes but now it is just going down the drain. -The pacing issues -Animation being inconsistent at time -Asspulls galore -Overall enjoyability not being what it was I think these 4 points are especially highlighted in the last 5 episodes as of late, where things have been disappointing to say the least. Despite all of my criticisms for Kiseijuu, I'm still enjoying it but it just isn't the same when what was once extraordinary becomes very good. To me, a 10/10 turning into an 8/10 is more disappointing than a 7/10 turning into a 3/10. |

Vexper said: Nice comparison xDthe female tom bombadil part of the ep |
| The part before the opening credits was worth the price of admission. Migi driving a car with his two eyes looking over the wheel. Then I bust out laughing at the car launch plan....just have to love Migi's planning....when in doubt, drop a car on your opponent. I can tell that he will be back somehow....he had no death flag or smell about him like Kana did (RIP the best female character in the show). So far, it is still holding a steady score (killing off the two good female characters and leaving Murano dropped it a point) and the next episode should have lots of action and some nice feels in it. |
 |
| I started to rate it around 8/10 or so, I think now is more like 6-7/10. When I started, I expected it to climb to a 9/10. |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally, Shinchi vs Goto. About time. Shinchi's fear isn't surprising tbh but I like how the episode characterizes a bit of Migi's character as well. There was some action although I expect the bigger fighting to take place later. Also a nice focus on Mitsuyo's role in this series as well. Not bad. I have a feeling that Migi will come back. That he isn't dead yet. We saw a eye in Shinichi's right arm, so it's a big possibility. I think that's why the fight were so short.This fight between Shinichi vs Gotou will be extended in the next couple of ep.At least I think it's like this. :P |
 |
| Noooooo, Migi. Damn, I never expected him to die. Poor Shinichi crying over his loss. But since we saw a eye in Shinichi's right arm, I have a feeling Migi will reappear, but I am not sure. I feel like the fight between Gotou and Shinichi haven't ended yet, but let's see what's going to happen in the two last ep. I am so excited for them. I hope Migi reappear. It will be sad he died for good. :( |

Sparteh said: I expected more fighting as well, but it was great episode. Btw. Does it fallow manga closely? actually it does. but I have seen that they exclude some few non-important scenes from the manga. And it's lot more blood in the manga. The censor is way too much. I mean whey Gotou head got chopped off no blood were spilling out of him. That's shown much more violently in the manga. ^^ |

Drake1000 said: I knew this would happen Kinda weird for Migi to show emotions at his final moments. But that's what makes Migi & Tamiya different from all other parasytes. They show emotion and separate them from all other individual of they own race. |
| |
| Not really feeling the whole "Migi and Shinichi are friends" thing here. Sure they've supported each other but the show has always framed Migi's actions as being entirely pragmatic and void emotional attachment. Pretty rushed last minute development. |

| You don't realise how much someone means to you until they're gone. |
 |
| That small Migi eye, so cute. |
Shinichi's harem is growing!  |
| Migi finally openly admitting that he sees Shinichi as a friend ;_; they way i see it, there's only way out for ol Shinichi: let the remaining cells of Migi assimilate even more of his body, turn into the first full-on parasite/human hybrid and Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken the shit out of Goto, possibly while wearing sunglasses. Yeeeah, that'd be rad. |
| Migi :( |
Drake1000 said: I knew this would happen Kinda weird for Migi to show emotions at his final moments. This. Migi's words felt too sudden. |
| RIP Migi. We will miss you O_Q |
 |
| Incredible episode ... Migi's death was so sad and beautiful, thanks to him Shinichi could survive. Fortunately Migi seems to be alive. Mitsuyo helped Shinichi, she is a kind person, without her I don't know what Shinichi would became. |
ReaperCreeper said: You don't realise how much someone means to you until they're gone. Exactly what I've been thinking. Migi was litteraly a part of Shinichi. They shared everything together. Now that he's gone, it must be pretty hard for Shinichi. Incredible episode. I was glad it wasn't action oriented. I think this anime works best in the quieter moments, that are more meaningful and impactful. |
| Despite my constant complaints about how utterly stupid the characters in this show are portrayed as, this episode was surprisingly pleasant. Perhaps it's because the focus was mainly on Migi's fight and apparent death, as well as the realization that even parasites can mess up (he cut too shallowly, hence he died) sometimes. That said, Shinichi running around after losing the fight like a headless chicken, as well as running away in fear before that were quite believable, considering the monster that Goto is. I don't understand why we're being introduced to a new character at the very end of the show though. The oba-san seem's so out of place here in terms of character development. The entire second half of the show was just... weird.... Still, I have less complaints about the side characters being idiots this episode. Maybe it's cause of the rural setting, where I'm expecting all of those individuals to actually be uneducated idiots. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| RIP(?) Migi. |
| There are some pacing issues like some people have mentioned, but that's because the anime has been following the manga almost if not exactly the same. No fillers, no beach episodes, no recaps. |
| Rip Migi (Not sure if he is still alive) |
 |
| Migi is still alive it can´t die!! Migi is so cute :) |
| Migi :( This episode took quite a turn from the intense fighting atmosphere into a calm build up episode. is Shinichi runing to is death? - cant wait to next episode. btw.... why Gotou drive a car when he can run so fast (and with the seat belt on :P), also from where Shinichi get that car?. |
 |
| ED song put a big spoiler to the end of the show, same as it was with Shinichi mother death were it shows on the OP song before it even happen, |

RIP Migi  my heart is broken |
Nisx said: btw.... why Gotou drive a car when he can run so fast (and with the seat belt on :P), also from where Shinichi get that car?. Guessing so that he wouldn't attract to much attention. He can't exactly run like he does in the middle of the city. It was probably some random car that was parked on the street. |
 |
| I hope Migi is still alive and if he is still alive, that it's actually Migi and not a clean slate. Shinichi is on a suicide mission. |
| disliked ep so far things that was good enough in manga turn out boring and complete waste of time in anime |
 |
| Why are people saying RIP migi? It made it very clear he's likely alive. |
| nigga DAMN |
| Woah, Shinichi calmed himself so quickly. Now he has to think of a plan with Migi before... Nooooooooooooooooo, Migi! (T_T) Fuck you, Gotou! Just fuck you! Good thing there are kind people out there like Mitsuyo. But can Shinichi really defeat Gotou? |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Knowing this anime, I just hoping that Obasan did not get killed |
I watch it for the plot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Damn poor Migi... |

KLRock said: m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: I know its difficult to create feels for a parasite, but migi's death was still a little sudden. The rest of the episode was also paced awkwardly... I agree completely, i didnt have any time to let the death settle in because it happened too fast, and then the rest of the episode was bland and awkward. Also migi's "last words" just seemed like a way to make viewers tear up, seemed odd The episode left out a lot of content from the manga such as the car hijacking and the "throw a car at teh enemy" scene. They're probably running out of time lel |
| Right! Calm before the storm. Is Migi still out of Shinichi? cuz i feel that there is still few amount of cell that still inside Shinichi... Great hospitality by Grandma Mitsuyo though... The predictions wherein Migi merged with Gotou can be possible because why would Gotou still lurk in the forest instead of finding Shinichi or getting back to the City... |

| I really liked the episode, seeing Migi die was sort of unexpected for me. I think somehow Migi will come back, since some of his cells are still in Shinichi. |
| My hunch about the Migi's cells that spread throughout Shinichi was right! I knew they would come in use some day. First half was great but the whole Grandma thing was way too cliche' and awkward. |
| Goodbye Migi, maybe he will come back due to a part of him still residing within Shinchi. |
