Well, that was quite the revelation that they didn't make much of. Also looking forwards to next week's fight.

Very hype for the imminent chair leg stabbing. Not sure how that's gonna become a whole episode though, feels like they could have ended it within this one.

The music during the assembly was great, and I am way into the little details of animation like A-san's pupils bugging out during their little coffee date. I like how much momentum there is, and that Shinichi seems like a regular dude. The way he reasons, and how he adapts to his situation feels pretty realistic to me (at least by anime standards).

Sakurazuka posted:Dammit, I was hoping they'd actually show the fight this episode. I think they managed to make A-san creepier than he was in the manga. So, anyone notice how the fridge horror is ramped up in this episode? Um, once the aliens take over person is the person still "alive"? Are they essentially reanimating empty humans? That is a one creepy experiment, sensei. No offense. I did like MC how the acted realistic and seemed scared in class which would make sense opposed to let's have a showdown right now!

That is a one creepy experiment, sensei. No offense. The experiment raises an important question: if they can't reproduce, why are they here? They can't really take over or colonize the planet if they're just one-shot parasites. Maybe they're bioweapons created by an alien race to depopulate the planet, but it doesn't seem like they were dropped in large enough numbers for that.

The "person" isn't alive, but their body still is. In theory you could keep a human body biologically active without a brain, it just wouldn't be able to do anything without outside influence. Because the parasites take over and replace the head while the host is still alive, there's no period without brain stimuli for the body to shut down during.

When a dog or cat is born it doesn't go "aha, now begins the conquest of the couch. it shall be ruined!" The parasites are just organisms who have intelligence, trying to live. It just happens that they have to take over a body to live.

I do wonder if they are just creatures used to takeover other planets so the real aliens can harvest resources. Aliens are actually from Earth who wants to eliminate mankind so it can return to the it's natural state and repair all the pollution Alder fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Oct 23, 2014 |

The parasites are just organisms who have intelligence, trying to live. It just happens that they have to take over a body to live. Maybe so, but they seem engineered soldiers. They have extremely high intelligence and are innately capable fighters with "built-in" weaponry to boot. And yet they lack any desire beyond survival, at the most basic level. And yet, the parasites have vastly different self-driven motivations, judging by this episode. We have the teacher who fancies being a scientific observer of sorts, an individual who's willing to curb her eating habits drastically in order to support that endeavor. And then there's A-san, concerned only with sating his hunger and getting rid of rivals, regardless of the circumstances. But, he was willing to engage in the the teacher's "sex experiment", so he's not completely at the whim of his basic instincts, which I assume consists of hunger and survival.

Yeah, please be more careful about manga spoilers. I know that this is based on a manga that has been around forever, but that almost sort of counter-intuitively makes this even more new to people given the source's relative obscurity.

I caught these on tumblr:   Anime version looks better than that live action because the shot of her face and the blood splatter make it way more dramatic.

I think it looks more disturbing in the movie, it's like a frog catching a fly. My friend disagrees and says it's more comical, which I can understand, but it's just really creepy to me.

The movie version looks pretty bad. That CGI looks really cheap at the end there, almost like it's supposed to be a cartoon. I mean it looks good up until that lingering shot on the closed mouth. That part just looks poorly done.

That last shot from the live action version cracks me up. I think it's the eye just boggling around. It's kinda like it went to a completely different style.

The anime one is going to have an easier time being taken seriously because when you're presented with a drawn universe, you can accept the surreality as a part of it because you're looking at a reality that's already abstracted. Live action with CG elements is going to struggle with the expectations of the audience (film has an indexical relationship with what is being filmed, and most people are subconsciously aware of that fact) and the limits of what they will accept visually or as a part of the universe they're seeing.

Yeah, the live action just looks goofy as gently caress, especially since apparently people don't bleed in that universe.

Agreed, it's one of the reasons I have trouble taking live action/dramas seriously but animated series are fine with me. I'm stuck trying to recall where exactly I've seen the lead character in and how his/her acting compares to this one. I don't even remember their names apart from there goes RDJ again...

It also matters that the lighting is really weak in the live action. The lighting from the window makes it look like they're in a pit, there's one way out, and nope, you're not escaping. The camera lingers on the tentacles flopping around for a half a second, while it disappears in the live action. What little you see in the live action is a blurry mess, you can't tell the teeth from the eyes from the tentacles. The live actors are barely into the roles. The wife is freaking the gently caress out in the anime, she barely responds in the live action. And in the anime, there's a hint of a smile on the man's face as his face unfurls, which makes it the more sadistic and unnerving.

In terms of similarity to the manga, it sounds like the movie is closer than the anime. From what I remember the wife was too shocked to really be scared, and the husband-parasite had a flat vacant look on his face like A. They're not meant to be sadistic, they're just feeding.

I also like how the anime version has a quick 1-2 second shot looking down the monster's throat, with lots of eyes and tentacles flailing around. Whereas the live-action version cuts away before the mouth is fully opened and then cuts to a view from the side; it just doesn't have the same kind of impact.

Heck, look at the shots they use. Medium shot, slight angle towards husband. Medium shot, slight angle towards wife. Medium shot, completely perpendicular. Completely steady pace. The anime has medium shot for a few seconds. Then an extremely close up from the husband's perspective, and you see the shadow leaning over the wife. And then you see poo poo fly everywhere.
