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.

I was sure they were going to acknowledge that people who just had a limb taken are still human, but able to identify other parasites, and could potentially be recruited to cooperate with the authorities. But maybe the non brain occupying parasites are unknown to them?

yeah they presumably have no idea this is even a thing yet

They.... covered that in the episode. They'll go for your eyebrows or nose hairs apparently.

My thing is, why didn't the girl tell her brother that paint-thinner fucks up a parasyte's cells?
I'd be spraying everybody if I knew that secret.

as far as he knows all the paint thinner did was buy enough time to jump out the window. she didn't really have a chance to notice just how much it hosed him up.

I wish the other girl died instead of Kana, one of them's about 3x more likeable and interesting than the other.

why would you say something like that?

are you... are you really TheKingOfSprings-kun?

it's that she is a completely static character who spends most of her time repeating a thematic point that is quite frankly, probably too heavy-handed even without her

Maybe it's just been so long since I've read the manga but I don't remember Murano being so one note in the original. She probably was and I just forgot tho.

afaik this is a super straight forward adaptation

probably just seems like less time is spent on her when you can just quickly read through her scenes

you probably couldn't axe her entirely but she doesn't need nearly this much screentime, and you could easily give her the same role in the plot while giving her something approaching a character of her own

it's two? episodes from the end, the show is covering the entire thing

(are there 24,25 or 26 episodes?)

People think its a bad adaptation in japan, its not really about appeal

Cake Attack
Mar 26, 2010

overall it was a good show but not a great show and if some asks me if i've seen parasyte i'll be like, yeah, it was pretty cool i guess

Did this show do well at all in Japan?

i'd be surprised, since everything i heard suggested that japan considered it to be a bad adaptation. (they like the original though)
