Personally this is an incredibly short run series. So with all the bad comments it's getting I figured I'd watch past one eps....

I have to say this by far was my FAVORITE eps. I hope it continues from there.

I don't get why people think this episode was the best of the five as every episode of this trainwreck have been horrible. The episode was nowhere near creepy, but disturbing.

1/10 so far.


I can't talk for everyone else, but I felt like there was a bit more of a story here than in the other eps. I liked it.

Beginning-Mid Volume 3


Thanks for pointing this out, but damn, so far DEEN had been 'faithfully' following episode 1-4 through manga chapter 1-4 (volume 1 has 7 chapters), all of a sudden ep. 5 is a chapter of vol. 3, the lack of continuity is really disturbing, hopefully they provide some explanation in the future about the mother thingy.

Wow, so Yume was already a monster even before she was born. Now, this is interesting. I can't blame her mom that she was paranoid and - WAIT WHAT IT'S OVER?!

I have to admit this is the best episode so far. The anime is still bad though

okay just as confused as everybody else, if she had it from a baby what was the point in the first few episodes with the butterflies being the one that infected her?! good job this anime is only a few mins long cos that just genuinely felt like a waste of time, and i rarely feel that

Definitely one of the better episodes, although it feels like something is missing. Hopefully the next episode will shine more parts on how Yume is a monster (with the exception of her teeth) and was born like that. Also quite disturbing how she tries to eat/suck that cloth filled with blood and the other part with being cut and attempt murdered by her mother.

I really wish this series episodes were longer ._.

Ha I think it's funny that the story from the manga sucks but when they show something not from the manga, it's actually good. Hopefully Pupa gets better and better.

I don't think she was really infected as a baby at all. That's why the mother is in the hospital at the end and why the brother was asking why she was being mean to his sister. Seems to me like the mother had PND and was hurting the baby because of it.

Woah, that was messed up. I don't really understand the thing about Yume having been born different when it was shown she didn't get infected until later though. Although I guess that might explain why her brother had a messed up face before this all even started.

To make this episode more understandable, its basically that one of the original pupa made a kind of artificial insemination on the mothers body, became a fetus and born as Yume.

This all happens in the 18 episode, that is why its all so confusing, they skip a lot

I knew it Yume was some abnormal kid. I hated her from the start.
She's a flipppin moster. Who put Utsutsu and her mothers life's in danger.
Anyways, better episode yet. Less gruesome

Well it jumped really oddly it doesn't make sense to place then here now but it answered some questions I had about the manga.





Spoilers




So for anyone confused the pupa virus started with these two new species they live by taking the form of other animals and infecting them accordingly, but maria found them and started experimenting. Anyways when maria decides to create a virus from them to see what it would do one of them breaks out and the other follows suit though they both get separated.

The one Ustustu meets later on in the manga called yume his precious one and watching episode 5 makes me understand what he meant a bit, the thing didn't effect her it was her all along but at some point went dormant inside her.

Sigh I am so sick of seeing all these hate comments, don't just jump into the bandwagon like the no brainers. It was a good episode, it was creepy, and the mother's mental breakdown. I wonder why did she think of Yume as a monster. Is the father actually abusive? Or what?

The careful and intricate lead up to the mother's masochistic nature was flawless and masterfully executed. Had to fight back the tears, mainly because a lovely veteran seiyuu like Noto Mamiko was wasted on this series.

That was creepy, it did look like a red butterfly on the floor. But I thought she was only just turned into a monster now.

Unless maybe Yume is just thinking maybe that to justify why her mother let her father hit her or something. I dunno.

But from the 5 chapters of the manga I read that didn't happen, maybe it does later but it doesn't seem like something that would be in it.

She was a creepy baby though, I was kinda terrified.

WHAT THE FUCK STOP SKIPPING AROUND, DEEN, I KNOW YOU ARE.


Yeah, they should explain shit!!
I actually feel sorry for Yume :/ I think she looked cute while eating that bird (not because she is eating the bird =_=).
Poor mother :/ She must be mentally ill now.
