As soon as I knew this was going to be an anime I read the series and I'm glad I did. It makes every episode so exciting because all I can think is "Yee! This thing is happening next week!"

Try really hard to stop caring about this until you are able to forget and come back in a few months when it's finished. That's what I do. It's hard sometimes.

Fat_Cow posted:Good two episodes today, though the ending of the second episode is pure, Yeah, seriously. I didn't really like the second episode much because the girl was just acting so unbelievably dumb (people acting incredibly irrational to move the plot forward is always bad writing), there was literally no reason not to tell her brother let alone think it was a good idea to confront someone alone about if they are a man eating alien.

Boy, these episodes were about as subtle as a brick to the face. Still pretty good, but it seems like there ain't a ton of room for nuance in this story.

"Hey, that girl is actually smart, she made the connection between her weird rear end classmate and the case her brother is working on, now she is going to tell him about everything she has seen and the police are going to solve the whole problem" ... "Any second now" ... "GOD loving DAMNIT"

I honestly can't blame Shinichi for yelling at Murano after she asked him if he's REALLY Shinichi for like the 30th time.

I mean he was being really weird and goony out of nowhere and kind of acting like Migi, I can see why that would disturb her.

Why doesn't he tell her his mom is dead? Boom instant excasue of why he's so spacy and weird about death now. Did they add the scene of humans being the real parasites?

This show is great. Finally past the stuff I read so it's all new. Mark me down as someone who likes the opening song more and more each week. The part at the 60 sec mark is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZVr-Zu9vPM&t=59s Earlier in the thread someone (sorry I don't remember your name) was complaining about how they don't show Shinichi's pre-migi self, and that we are made to assume he's just a normal guy and assume what a normal guy would do in those situations. It's like now he's changed even further and we're watching what the new Shinichi would do in those situations. Kind of ironic when you think about it. It's like the parts he was complaining about were actually the parts he wanted, because now we are seeing a whole new Shinichi. Lastly in regards to the end of the last episode: That girl has to have a plan with that bottle. She can't be that dumb.

 i post this not for the typo, but the innuendo Also i do not like the girl who's only purpose in the narrative is to go "but are you really shinichi?!?!?". i feel if she suddenly became interesting i'd be like, "are you really boring girl?" because that would be as drastic of a change as shinichi's.

Maybe my expectations are low, but it never bothered me that Sanae confronts Hideo instead of getting the police. Is it particularly unusual or bad that a character has emotions and acts on them rather than hyperrationally resolving the plot in mundane ways?

Not confronting a possible man-eating monster is not "hyperrational". Speaking of characters not being hyperrational, why didn't rear end in a top hat-kun change his face when he was changing his clothes in the public toilet?

Rexides posted:Not confronting a possible man-eating monster is not "hyperrational". Yeah, but she is a teenager with a crush, I mean she draws sketches of him in her spare time. She doesn't want to believe that her ~*~Lovely Hide~*~ could be an evil monster. I'm surprised she even took that bottle of thiner or acid or whatever it is for self defense.

Also, if she's wrong and was hallucinating or something, she's just handed an innocent teenager over to the Men in Black for dissection. That's kind of a big deal.

That would usually work as an excuse, except somebody who she clearly trusts knows that the monsters exist. She could at the very least ask her brother for backup.

I'd let it slide because all she's seen is Hide get hit (and react nonchalantly) and transform faces. I think she's allowed to be irrational since she doesn't know if he's one of the ~monsters~ that eats people or not, after all she probably justifies it to herself that she's seen him at the school not eating people, so he cant be ~that bad~.

I mean this is cartoon anime land so that's probably exactly how it'll go down, but real world, yeah you tell the police about this possible man eating monster because they're gonna confront it just like you are. They're also not just going to assume it's a menace to society and gun it down. The difference is that those people are actually trained to handle scenarios like this (although obviously not the whole person's a monster alien thing) and have something they can actually do when things go south. I don't understand how people think that going to the proper authorities when something is really off automatically equates to those proper authorities doing the exact wrong thing that goes against any training or procedure they have. I guess my point is, if she's wrong and was hallucinating or something, she just handed an innocent teenager over to a very awkward conversation with the police/army. Oh no.

Well really, my complaint is with the idea that this (or any) story needs to have rational characters or plot development. Yuko/Sanae confronting Hideo makes sense, especially with how obvious the anime makes her crush, her personal doubts, and the relative lack of info on Parasites. Even being incredulous, she prepares herself with a weapon. She's got her bases as covered as any human could, so I don't get the complaints. For those who want police action, how likely is it that some bullets are any more lethal than a girl with toxic art supplies? Whether she confronts him directly or not the outcome should be the same (give or take one death). I think it's nice that they at least give a tertiary character an arc where she can be competent and influential to the story. dogsicle fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Nov 27, 2014 |

Twiddy posted:Yes, because they're gonna start dissecting someone before confirming they're a monster. I bet the police are gonna drive by, jump him while he's on the street, throw him in the back of the van, and and while it drives off a crazy guy in a lab coat is gonna start dissecting him with a chainsaw. The govermnent has just realised they're up against highly intelligent shape-shifting maneaters, and that any one of them that goes uncaught could easily rack up hundreds of casualties in minutes. This is a Pretty Huge Deal. Do you really think they'd stop at "Hey, have you murdered anyone with your face-blades?" "No." "Do you even have face-blades?" "No." "Cool, just checking, sorry for the inconvenience. Have a nice day!"? They would surely be aware that there's no way to prove a sufficiently determined parasite's identity without getting hella invasive, and it's reasonable to be hesitant about wanting to subject a fellow student to that.

They can be killed with the same things as humans; they are, after all, still human from the neck down.

The show did an excellent job at building the suspense despite showing a fairly reasonable chain of events. A lot of these complaints boil down to "I'm too impatient to wait for episode 10". That said, I think it's less bullets vs solvent and more "presented knowledge to the audience about an organized investigation of officials who acknowledge the existence of the problem, but then ignored all of it in favor of high schooler thinking they can fix everything by themselves." Sure it was infuriatingly  while watching, but this is anime and it only takes a few details in the next episode to explain it all away.

WickedHate posted:Pretty much no parasyte, not even that teacher, would stand a chance of passing for human under interrogation. Well, the person who was making this decision was still prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt after seeing him pop his head back into shape like a dented water bottle, soo... From the government's perspective, as well, they don't know that, and it's reasonable to assume the worst-case scenario (that some parasites are superb actors) because if you're wrong, you've just let one of the worst serial killers in Japanese history (and/or an existential threat to humanity) walk out the door.
