Welp, figured that wasn't who Shinchi was looking for. That's one big mouth though.

I kinda like Uda this episode since he seems like a pretty chill guy to hang out with. I find it kinda funny to see Migi dividing itself like that. Pretty understandable that Shinichi finds the parasite that took over his mom to be sick.

Great action this episode. Really liked how Shinichi took the fight against that freak and also his new look at the end.

The transformation is complete and it only took 7 episodes : O
Love how the theme they play during the "next time" credits was used to build tension for the encounter with Shinichi's mom. They did the same thing when Shinichi was about to fight A but I thought it was used to a greater effect here

People who are only watching the anime have no idea how interesting the story gets from here on out!

Shinichi has leveled up. #1 BA.

Maybe him and Uda will be a tag team parasite slaying duo. For a sec i thought Uda died and maybe his parasite could join Shinichi so he would have 2 of em.

And so ends the dad in the hospital part of the story.

Art/Animation: Pretty fluid this week overall, not anything too amazing but still fine. The artwork overall was good as usual. Some transitions were a bit too fast but nothing that ruined the immersion too much.

Music: So many different tracks that were all used before. Glad they brought back the one from when Migi entered Shinichi's arm. It's so creepy. Overall, nothing to complain about, the voice acting was mature and not annoying at all, the background music matched up well.

Story+Characters:
I'll get the negative part out of the way because it's small. The girl from the hotel where Shinichi stayed, she had a lot more dialogue and presence in the manga, since she doesn't play a big role in the plot though I didn't mind them erasing lots of it but seeing her have a crush on Shinichi was a bit unnatural.

The rest though, was spectacular. Uda enters the show and he is so lovable. He has surprisingly good chemistry with Shinichi despite only meeting him this episode and it all lead up to Uda, the only other person who could understand Shinichi, being the one to save Shinichi the trouble of killing the parasite who resembles his mother.

The 2nd to last scene with Shinichi and his dad staring off into the sunset. Shinichi asks if his mom suffered in his "dream" to which the dad replies no, it was fast and began to tear up again. I thought the scene was very powerful, showing that grief doesn't just go away and that it's going to effect them for the rest of their lives.

Finally, the last scene. Was surprised they didn't end it with Shinichi falling asleep, thought they would keep the new haircut look saved to surprise the viewers next week. Either way, he looks great.

Can't wait for more. Next week we get 2 episodes right? Woo!

2 episodes next week? Are you sure? Wonderful news.

I found this episode to be pretty weak, a lot of silly things. Lots of character development over the last few episodes. Hopefully next week we will see a big advancement in the story with the 2 episodes airing back to back

Another epic episode! SOOO GOOOD!!

Uda's a pretty nice character and so is Parasite. Nice to see Shinichi have an ally that understands him now. Quite an inconvenient place to get stuck in though. Poor Uda having a living being in his chin all the time ^^;

Nice explanation to how Shinichi's physiological abilities have leveled up. Friggin loved the fight. Epic stuff, So BA! He didn't even need Migi to be awake to own.

Looking really different and cool there at the end. All the bitches running after him now XD Maki had no chance at all. She was pretty cute though. Surprised she didn't die lol

Is that Shinichi owning the bully from ep5 I see in the pv there >.<!!

I am watching it right now, can't help posting it - Shaba actually looks gorgeous:



Love the personality quirks they gave to Shaba. Unlike even Migi, he sounds like a cheerful rascal and has good chemistry with Uda. Well, maybe because Uda himself is an emotional and good to a fault guy, his Parasite (Shaba's first name) adopted the best of his host. Don't worry, Uda-san, Shaba is the best waifu and friendo one would ask for :)

So, 30% of the original Migi is floating in little Migis inside Shinichi, giving him the boosts of perception, endurance, and various skills.
However, at a price. Makiko's "You were crying in the inside", was heart-wrenching and truthful observation.

Migi practiced to separate from the body through exercise ...



... which will come even more important later.

I appreciated that Shaba and Uda delivered the fatal blow to Mom-Zyte out of consideration of Shinichi's feelings, although he was determined to remove the monster from his mom's body and finally accept her death.

Shinichi's dad ... crying and sad, but in a better rapport with his son about their loved one's misfortune passing.

Shimada next x2! Thanks, Madhouse! >_<

Dayum, this episode was good (compared to the manga). Thank God that Shinichi changes his woman-nerdish look (xD I just invented a new adjective) <3
Seriously, it didn't suit him at all, nor the changes that took place in his way of thinking because of his interaction with Migi. Perhaps it'll be better now :P

I loved that, bro moment of the year. It was great that Shinichi had the resolve to do it, but even better that he didn't have to.

That was pretty awesome tbh.

Meeting a person that has a parasite that isn't in the brain but in the respiratory system! Finding a companion that shares the same fate.

It was cool how they explained Shinichi's power that parts of Migi are all over his body that Migi can no longer control!

Migi falling asleep just before the fight :/ Shinichi being able to fight against a parasite was pretty nice. Uda surviving by moving the vital organs and finishing off the enemy!

Maki not wanting Shinichi to leave.

Shinichi with that new appearance and that "yo" >.<

Another great episode...this anime really rock and glad it keep most important thing of the manga,Shinichi is starting to fight by this own this episode and it was great Uda kill that parasyte.Nice to see his dad well and telling Shinichi that at least his mom didn't suffer.A bit sad for Makino but the ending with Shinichi new looks is just as awesome as it was and Kana and Murano are happy for his return...Love Kana reaction when Shinichi return and can't for new arc to start and everyone reaction to the new Shinichi......

Parasyte is by far the best anime of this season. Great story, great animations and a marvelous OST.

The music with the fight was so freaking good, really getting you pumped. I also loved the two girls seeing Izumi at the end. Both noticed him

Shinichi finds another one just like him!

Well, they finished that battle.
Shinichi and his amazing movements.

I thought Uda was gonna die, but I'm glad I was wrong.
He's a pretty funny character.

When Kana and Murano noticed that Shinichi was back.
The OST playing.
That was a pretty happy ending for this week.

As I anticipated this episode is a masterpiece.

Next episode Shimada finally! I can't wait to see who his seiyuu will be. Was that announced already?

E: Oh, it's Akira. Can't imagine Shimada with that voice but we'll see if it'll fit.

Tiny fragments of Migi were floating around in Shinichi's bloodstream until they (possibly) fused with Shinichi's body, changing his physiology as well as his mental state...damn this story is good. The way Migi explained the concept was well animated too.

I found the final scene with Shinichi turning around and saying 'hey' nonchalantly pretty funny though.

The feels in this anime.

There has to be more Uda and Parasite, I would love to get to know them more. Hell, it would be nice to meet others like Uda and Shinichi.

I should just start reading the manga online, even though I would love to have physical copies.

I love this anime, its the second best that I have seen :p
And now things start getting serious

Absolutely loved this week. The music for the fight got me so pumped for it.

Hearing the news of a double episode next week makes me near weep for joy lol.

The fact I can say that shows how good a series this is turning out to be. Best of the season for me easily.

Oh shit, that was intense!
Kill that bastard mother.

I didn't think Shinichi would meet someone in the same boat as him. That guy totally looks like a character that's going to die with his side character design and his cowardly attitude. I really thought he would stay dead this episode, but then again... that would've been to quick.

I personally liked Shinichi's old look better, I know he doesn't need glasses anymore, but that hair just makes him look like a different person. I liked his nerdy look.

Also I think that this wasn't the last time we've seen Kanna. But I have a bad feeling about her. She's too cute and nice, something could happen to her.

Hmmm... I gotta ask though... how long did he stay in the forest? Having to walk around with that blade hand for 4 hours isn't exactly pratical in everyday life after all :P
Unless of course he can somehow undo it himself that is.
For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
