That was quite an episode. Really found the dream sequences with Kana to be interesting even if it was brutal, strange, and fake.

The fight was pretty violent as well. I found the way Madhouse to adapt the action to be pretty bloody. Eh cute date I guess. It was about time Murano and Shinich caught up again. Lol, the guy from the episode reminds me of Razor from Hunter x Hunter:



Poor Kana ;_;

Shinichi referred to himself as Kitaro, and Migi was his dad. The show takes a break next week.

Finally their relationship is going good but still Murano still doesn't see Shinichi as the same person she knew. Kana having that dream then seeing them kiss ouch. People should stop the hair pulling thing its only going to get you killed like in the beginning of this episode.

This show is getting epic. Kano/Earmuffs-cunt's dream in the beginning was like a reenactment of the greatest acid trip ever. It also brought back pleasant memories of the "Take Me to Pleasure Town" sex scene from Anchorman.



I love Kano sooooooo much more than Murano but Shinichi refuses to acknowledge it. And even after saving her life, dating her and kissing her, Murano still has the nerve to bitch about Shinichi? Toss that hoe to the side and come over to the light.

On the non-bitches side, I'm liking the new direction the show is heading in. That yakuza fight/massacre was a thrill to watch and it seems that parasyte can morph other parts of his body as well. Escalation is always better and what better place to start the corruption than with the government.

Very intense episode. Those Yazuka members getting dismantled by that Parasyte like it was nothing. And now they are trying to take over the city now. I wonder what exactly their plans are as far as that goes. This show is so awesome 5/5 for this week.

How come the hair-pulling method doesn't work on Shinichi? Perhaps, it's because Migi doesn't have full control over his head?
Kana is pretty sharp to keep that hair in her handkerchief, just in case. I have a feeling it'll start moving soon.

Dat Yakuza massacre scene though.. Quite brutal! It seems like a group of parasytes are experimenting their abilities by possessing different types of humans.

I wished the mom would've slapped that kid. You can't just copy kid Kousei and say "I hope you die" over something so trivial. At least, he had a major reason.
Poor Shinichi.. I wonder if that mom had parasyte inside her too. O.o

Oh yes! Finally, they kissed! But Murano still isn't convinced that the current Shinichi is the same from before. I totally get her reason for wishing that only if she'd gooten closer to him much sooner, so she won't have any doubt.
Ah, I feel bad for Kana.. She's still not giving up fully though. (^^;)

Suddenly, a lot of parasytes have appeared at once. One of them is even running for the mayor position! Not a good sign at all.

Good episode. What might Kana ask of Shinichi as a favor? A kiss perhaps? XD

Well that beginning of the ep just went ahead and showed how stupid the hair idea is esp if u doing it in private without any witnesses <_<

Quite the dream Kana had there XD Dat Buff Izumi while they're both naked and about to kiss lol XD

Dat massacre scene O_O 22 by himself. He didn't seem like ur usual previous parasites. Tough skin and amazing athletic abilities as well as a head deep wound healing? Does he have more than one parasyte in himself? And there's a Boss for Parasytes now? I wonder if he's the one who was talking to "Ex-Ryouko" last ep?

So Murano actually saw how a parasyte looks like and she got over it :O Well GG Kana after seeing them kiss. She's still meeting with him at the end though so maybe not yet? XD That escalated a bit quickly though. Didn't expect Murano would let him kiss her, esp since she still can't stop doubting Izumi's identity.

Migi is making me feel like it's jelly from Kana lol I know that's not the reason but I can't help it XD

Quite the end there. A Parasite running for Mayor and has 7 others guarding him :O

I'm already liking this arc more than the previous one. I was expecting the whole head strand picking to increase the murder rate to some extent. Looks like it has already begun. Being drunk at the park during nighttime was a very unlucky circumstance.

Looks like Kana really wants to be a part of a love triangle. She sure has weird dreams though. It's not very safe to be that misinformed.

I liked the extra screentime that Murano received, but I really couldn't sympathize with her at all. Maybe because she is kind of getting repetitive with the change she's observing in Shinichi. She's also getting in the absolute worst encounters with Shinichi all the time. Can't say I hate her, but I'm looking forward to seeing more engaging things from her soon.

The usual derpy faces here and there, combined with the ever so ugly CGI crosswalks. I hope I'm not getting too overly nitpicky, but judging by the animation quality, maybe MH should have taken the split-cour route? The budget could be a bigger issue than time alone though. But who am I to decide that anyway?

one of the Problems (or right now the only problem) i have with this anime is Murano,
because it seems she will be like Ran from detective conan, i.e. her only job in the story is being the mc's connection to his old world.

That was a great ep. Quite a violent one too.

Yakuza was destroyed.
The date part was nice and the part with the kid and the mom was really nice too. It got Shinichi to remember his mom.
Murano and Shinichi kissing and Kana running into them.
A parasite trying to become a mayor, I wonder how will Shinichi deal with that.

For me Kiseijuu is getting better and better each ep.

Interesting approach, I could see that happening. Especially since I haven't touched the source material at all. Though it would be quite unfortunate if that were to happen.

I always preferred Kana in the manga and in the anime it's no different. She'd be a better partner for Shinichi in many ways, but then again if Migi doesn't like her, there's little to do.

LOL @ Kana's dream. Quite gory for a knight in shining armor dream. Shinichi should really keep his distance from Murano, because she's going to get killed if they are together that much. I think Kana will still like him even if she finds out about Migi. Also like I said in the last ep, you're going to get killed if you pull about a parasite's hair. Oh, and how did Kana know the hair pulling was connected to the parasite at all. It seemed like she pulled it out to see if Shinichi was one, but how would she know that at all?

i didn't read the source material either, but the moment i saw Murano after Shinichi's mom died, i knew she will have the ''Ran''-role.
Which will be wasting a Character's Potential imo, if it stayed like this.

Is that a 6 in 1 parasyte? The one crushing the Yakuza and running for mayor. After all he was unaffected by wounds in his legs, arm and head implying at least those areas has their own parasyte.

It was already explained. If I recall correctly it goes something like this. A parasyte can survive in smaller pieces, but if the pieces get too small they'll wither away. However Migi isn't a part of Shinichis head, thus the hairs are Shinichis and act as normal hairs would do.

Even though the worst possible episode i could imagine is one in which Murano's getting alot more screentime and lines, it still wasn't that bad. Just speaks loads of this anime's awesomeness.

The Yakuza fight was very epic, and this guy seriously creeped me out, mostly because of his smile. Parasites are getting bold, running for mayors, picking fights with Yakuza just for the sake of experimenting... all of them deserve to die.

Murano's still annoying as all hell, yet another episode tainted with her favourite line. I hope by some miracle Shinichi ends up with Kana, at least she likes Shinichi unconditionally, and her dreams are as cute as they are weird.

4/5

I wouldn't say she's boring, but she's simply annoying and hates change. Definitely not a suitable character for Shinichi.

It had been a story among Shin'ich, Migi and other parasites before. But now, it is going to a new phase. The government found something about them to some extent and started to research and make some plans to deal with them on the last episode. Meanwhile, the parasites are to be organized themselves, too.

The pulling hair thing really backfires for being doing it in secluded places!

Kana dreaming about Shinichi being a prince saving her from monsters O.o

Kana pulling Shinichi's hair but nothing happened. I wonder if they snipped a hair from his hand would anything happen!

Murano asking Kana if she also sees that Shinichi has changed, Kama still seeing hope with Shinichi.

Parasytes try to see how many times they would get hit by killing everyone in a yakuza office! Getting hit only three times :/

Murano and Shinichi's date. She really has to be submissive to be able to date Shinichi though she having to hold herself back seems pretty painful.

A kiss between the two! Kana seeing it and wanting to give up. Murano having doubts about the real Shinichi and cries.

Hope Kana doesn't do something to ruin their relationship or anything that would make me dislike her :O Parasytes running for major and ignored Shinichi. Wonder if Kana having been seen with Shinichi would have any consequences.

Parasytes in an election campaign, that could have horrible consequences.
It did not take long for for Parasyte to hack and smash the Yakuza. I suspect the mom with her kid crying also being a Parasyte and the dog too.. They are everywhere.

Ok~ more revelations. Cool.

So these parasites aren't just killing machines who kill for food. They are trying to mingle with humans. They probably have some ulterior motives behind this too.

The first few minutes just proved that pulling out a strand of hair without knowing what to do next is stupid. That drunk girl learned it the hard way.

Poor kana. She got her hopes too high and ended up losing to Murano who still doesn't believe Izumi is the same Izumi.

But still, the most interesting part was when the parasites were running an election campaign along with when that parasite raided a yakuza office and massacred everyone without eating anyone. This just makes these parasites more mysterious than before.

Talk about bad timing... Kana is so fucked if he decide to takes actions against that parasyte who spotted him.

That training was somehow hilarious, they were all so clueless to what was happening or who was that guy. And the other guy who got caught at the end xD
The whole scene was also really cool in term of animation, the fast pacing on his arm, the super fast movements, etc.

That dream Kana had was also fucking hilarious. Dat parasyte horse, I laughed my ass off. Man, I hope she doesn't die, she's adorable :3

So Shinichi and Murano is finally happening. At the same time, Murano seem more scared than ever by him. Well, his cattle and pig tip wasn't really conforting to say the least... I feel this can only end in a bad way :/

I don't mind Shinichi's old personality. I doubt most people who disagree with Murano do, too.

The problem is Murano herself. Her annoyance only keeps spiking up every ep, which wouldn't be the case if she would stop saying the same damn line every time and stop being so wary and awkward.

I agree about Murano. I was really hoping that this episode maybe Shinichi would talk about the fact that he lost his mother, then Murano will think that's why he's changed so much and she'll shut up about it.

Do any manga readers know if Murano does find out about his mother??

Yes I'm agree with you, is so stupid a character saying always the same line. But I miss the old shinichi, is an opinion only.
