Parasyte -the maxim- | Episode 13 (2nd cour premiere)
GingaDaiuchuu: No new OP. Thank you.
The scene of Shinichi just leaving the class was hilarious.
And the drama with Satomi continues to be painful to watch.
Yamada2: So the parasites work together to secure a feeding place just like Migi suspected. Everyone’s eyes are on Shinchii the half parasite boy and they’re investigating him. They don’t know about Shinchii’s new powers – his increase in strength etc.
Things got very very cool when that guy found out about Migi and the hand tried to kill him. Damn. This just keeps getting better and better. Shinchii is now totally freaked out. He doesn’t know who sent that guy but what he does know is that he’s in for a lot of trouble.
Shinchii’s got to deal with his own problems and Murano too. Just when he was about to spill the beans Migi shows himself. Dammit man! Shinchii will have to eventually tell Murano everything but when? He’ll have to convince Migi but that won’t be easy.
Sensuifu: Funny, I never thought it’d take three episodes for Murano to snap, but we finally see her really upset over Shinichi’s secrecy and abnormality about him. Though that’s understandable considering everything that could’ve gone wrong actually happened, much to bad timing on Shinichi’s part and Murano naturally feeling jealous.
Either I have a really twisted sense of humor or this show continues to dish out dark comedy with such finesse, sometimes in both the subtle and obvious ways that I’m still finding myself giggling over scenes that are likely meant to be serious…i.e. in this episode, grabbing a crying baby by the head (more like crushing its skull) as if trash, whispering to it to shut up, and the babysitter desperately leaving the inhumane treatment she just witnessed. And, Shinichi’s paranoia getting to him in the classroom, and visualizing (with Migi set to kill) his melodramatic apprehension to tell Murano the truth, only to cut to the next frame all quiet and composed. Cheesy, yet hilarious.
Though there are some things that still make me go ‘huh?’…mostly inconsistencies; i.e. stalker dude not being detected by Shinichi’s powers earlier on, only to later show he could after the fact he was nearly killed by Migi.
Still a fun ride, though I’m honestly going to miss Kana, because those wet dreams can’t be replicated by anyone else.
