| Oh, interesting. So they can mate with at least other infected hosts and make normal offspring. Can they mate and conceive with uninfected hosts though? And dat cliffhanger. |
Genix said: Oh, interesting. So they can mate with at least other infected hosts and make normal offspring. Can they mate and conceive with uninfected hosts though? And dat cliffhanger. Said a few times already in recent pages of this thread, the parasyte doesn't affect the reproductive organ of its hosts, meaning that whether they're doing it with infected host or not, it's just the same, normal sex. That means the parasyte can't reproduce themselves the same way as animals, which is what Tamiya Ryouko is concerned about in this episode. |

This is actually a pretty important plot point, since it means that despite all their adaptability and intelligence the parasites don't know how to reproduce, something that's pretty much hardcoded into every other lifeform. It's even possible that they can't reproduce at all (which would suggest that they're engineered rather than natural), which puts them at a decisive disadvantage compared to humans. |
| One thing that interests me is that Tamiya seems, I don't know, more "there" than the other Parasites shown so far. Like A and, I believe every male shown so far has his eyes rolled up whereas she looks straight ahead like a normal human. I don't know if this means she is simply "better", as she seems a bit more logical than the aggressive other parasites, or if it's a female/male thing. I would say that the latter isn't true using Shinichi as an example, but with Migi being in his hand I don't think that's an effective example obviously. Anyway, good episode, I find Tamiya pretty interesting so far. |

| Loved this episode, especially the music during A's infiltration. More of that please instead of the dubstep. |
| LOL, manhandling an alien XD. Damn, an alien has infiltrated his high school and it seems she's his new math teacher. So apparently she wants to blend in and join human society and won't eat any humans soon. She's calling Shinichi to the guidance office and he snapped at one of his classmates. Shinichi being scared and pissing his pants as always XD. Hahaha, she tried having sex with A-san (who looks totally retarded to be honest) and the poor waitress dropped and broke something... damn, she got pregnant and her baby is a normal human being eh... Those eyes of A-san doe... I guess she can be considered an ally... well... a half-ally I guess. Damn, they're under attack by that retarded looking A-san alien. Migi's a boss and a strategist XD. Dat CG doe... Shinichi snapped at Satomi this time and it seems he's becoming more and more alien, losing sight of his human side. So Shinichi has to join the fight in order for them to win and it seems his barricade is going to actually impede him lol. I can't wait to see their fight next episode. |

| This show is so damn good. |
 |
| Omg why did it end like that xD Now I'm so curious about the fight! |

| 5/5 Kiseijuu enters the top ten anime autumn 2014 for myself. Narration more than decent and engaging, intriguing plot. The only drawback, the quality that Madhouse does not increase in the drawings, animations and OST are good. But even the opening and ending disfigure. I can not wait to have in my hands the fourth episode! Eheheheh! |
 |
| Great episode,this show rulzz. |
  |
| this episode seemed to take about 5 mins |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Love the manga, and the anime is so good too. Love that soundtrack at the end when "A" shows up. Epic :D |
| Damn ... I love that Opening. What a cliffhanger ... can't wait to see the fight |
Triskel said: Manga readers, if the parasyte only lives in the head (brain), is it ever explained why they need to do cannibalism ? I don't see why it's such a useful foodsource when they could eat the same food the species they're taking over is eating (if indeed, the rest of the body is human, as in the reproductive organs AND the digestive system). Also, seems to me a baby born from a person who only eats human meat wouldn't be very healthy or ''normal''. This all seemed trivial to me in the first two episodes but now that they've introduced the possibility of reproduction, why not explain the need for cannibalism :/ ? Discussing if cannibalism is necessary will be one of the main points later on. |
 |
| That bgm when A broke the windows :D Episode 4 can't come soon enough. |

| Awesome episode, just feel mad for the cliffhanger >.> |
| Good Ep. Damn Cliffhanger, Can't wait for the fight next episode! |
 |
| Madhouse is doing a phenomenal job on Kiseijuu. |
| Another good episode, and another cliffhanger :( |
| really liked this episode, I really love the ost. Its cool that how shinichi and migi co-exist together pose a big threat for the other parasyte and how would it became a big advantage against their opponents and shows why "two head is better than one" I think that both Migi and Shinichi will change as they adapt with each other's philosophy and personality following both of their instincts as they fight their enemies making them a superior being |
| Annnd like most of the people said, dat cliffhanger... |
 |
| reading through a couple of comments, i'm pretty entertained by the ones made of people who have.... assumingly not read the manga ^_^- i already know how the manga goes, having read it a couple of times, but it's really neat to see it as an anime, and though some things are slightly different, they're very close, i suppose a big bonus are the more modern things in the anime compared to the manga, it's a nice touch ^_^- |
 I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them. |
| The guy deserves to die for being a dumbass :( I want a martial art using parasite :) Tamiya is cool, but the no personality thing turns me off :( Maybe the parasite are man made or alien made? otherwhie how do they reproduce :O Shinichi keeping his btches in check, like he should, don't question a man when he does something :( |

| wow, this was a good episode! definitely better than last weeks, and the music didn't feel so out of place either. can't wait to see some action next week~ |
 |
| Thats how you make an episode with dialoges without being boring, unlike other pretty visual infodump anime this season. |
| It's always nice to see someone or something act according to pure logic. It's effective, yet can be quite dark at the same time. |
| 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. |
| I'm so interested in Ryouko. What are her goals? A partnership between Shinichi-Migi and Ryouko would be great :D I want next episode right now! |
 |
| Dammit, I want to see the next episode so badly! They just had to put a cliffhanger in there, grr. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| I wonder if the waiter fell and spilled on the floor because of hearing "sex" or the fact that she saw Migi (how could she not?) :o Me: "Please don't end.. please don't end!" ENDED me: (╥_╥) - there goes another week of waiting.. |
| Damn cliffhanger. This anime is so fucking epic. |
 |
| Aww man I was expecting an elfen lied train massacre during that train scene. Even though the MC pisses me off cuz he just so p*ssi, I have to hold it in considering the Ish he's going though. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| The OST is violating my soul. This show does not fail to impress in every way. |
 |
| The cgi people and dubstep are both 10/10. |

| The CGI and Dubstep in this show are shit, and show that madhouse had to really push to get 24 episodes out of it. |

 This girl is such a cutie omg. She has an Asuka vibe to her that I love. I still probably like Satomi more but damn my ponytail and freckle fetish isn't making it easy on me. Aside from that, once again what a fucking great episode. The character interactions in this are all interesting whether they be fighting or talking in a coffee shop the tension is always there and IT IS REAL. This is probably my favourite anime of this season so far and it's one of the shows that I most look forward to after coming home from classes. Cannot wait for next weeks episode. I was sort of reminded of the Mirai Nikki school scene which was one of my favourite episodes from one of my favourite series'. Hope next weeks battle is as badass as Yuki's Yuno's and Nith's was! |

| Oh, you did NOT just end on that cliffhanger. |
| Ending on a cliffhanger ;_; Am I the only one who bobs their head every time the epic soundtrack comes up? |
