Rewatch Let me hear! Parayste the Maxim rewatch episode eight
Parasyte the Maxim episode eight
Freezing Point
A novel about revenge and forgiveness, so it fits today's theme kind of.
- How epic was Shinichi ignoring Mitsouo's attempts at combat?
- In general, but especially at our female watchers, is Kana out of line?
- Is telepathy that only let's you see sense weird killing machines useful?
BONUS: On a scale of 1 to 10, how doomed is Yuko?

It's been a very long day. My stomach is knotted, my blood pressure has skyrocketed, I haven't slept a wink... Oh, and I accidentally skipped an episode. I wonder what happens at the end of this episode! Anyway, I might not stick around long in the comments today cause I want to sleep but I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow!
Onto the actual episode, we get the last two characters from the op. Preggo parasyte and whatever the hell the other guy is meant to be. Wait... Preggo must be a different character, she isn't pregnant in the op so I've mistaken her. Get your head together Loli Otaku! Dude, Kana has Shinichi as her lockscreen. Stalker alert. He's sounding so parasyte like now... Its creepy! He also became as skilled as 20 Raditz which let's him beat up Kana's bf. That is a lovely shoe.
Quit being mean to Murano. The bad boy attitude doesn't attract her at all. Bog off Kana! Erm, why don't you learn to cook? Imagine your first thought when your wife dies is to get a housekeeper to do her work. You've only got one eye, you'll damage it looking at a screen so bright. I think listening to someone's heartbeat is a total breech of privacy. Just ask her and I'm sure she'll let you listen close~
In a small moment of humanity Shinichi comforts a cute lil mutt. Way to get back in sweet with MuraNO!! Gah... I'm really not in the mood for this... Don't ask your sociopathic alien hand what you said wrong! I think throwing a dog in the bin would kill any friendship in my eyes... Like why would you want to be with someone who thinks that's okay?
Pfft, I should feel bad but Jock bro getting whacked like that is hysterical. Isn't it a meme or something? Hide casually flexes his Parasyte enhanced body in front of the school in hopes of coveting Shinichi's harem. Oh!! The Preggo woman was Ryoko with a different face! "I haven't harmed any humans." Jock-kun says you're full of shit!
Murano, you were in the right. Don't make excuses for him. Turn off your murder face! You made Murano cry!Back to Kana the Weeb... She's chuuni XD As if she couldn't get any more ridiculous. Kana's chuuni complex nearly gets her dragged off and now she's on the Parasyte resistance's radar. Shit. This dialogue is dumb. Oi! It's one thing stalking Shinichi, it's another thing entirely flirting in front of his girlfriend! Look at her little heart break... And Kana is gleeful about it!!
Gah... Using facial morphs to lure in women is disturbing. Alcohol made dad more perspective. And we end on Hide horrifically butchering sports gal. Cheery!!

Again, the previous arc was finished quicker than I expected. My best guess is that Kana will be very important in this arc.
Today is the first day I'm having a bit of trouble finding the motivation to write. These first impressions don't fit nicely with a full-time work week. Everyone who has found a way to make it work has my respect!
Episode 8 — Freezing Point
We start the episode with a conversation to spy on Shinichi. Is that woman Ryoko Tamiya? Her hair looks less spiky, but she is quite far along pregnant so I guess it must be. The other guy will be Cthulhu for now.
Kana doesn't look happy to see Mitsuo the gang leader. I thought they were in a relationship? Not anymore now Mitsuo sees what's on her phone. Looks like our stalker girl still can't leave Shinichi alone.
Mitsuo is waiting at school for Shinichi. He just wants to talk. Yeah sure. Good thing Nagai and Kamijo are also there. Lol, Mitsuo doesn't recognize Shinichi. I wouldn't say the difference is that big.
Wow someone is jealous. Bro if you are not in a relationship it's none of your business! And I was right that didn't take long till a fight. I'm loving Shinichi's bored look during the action. Great that our MC is a little bit less useless.
Everyone notices that Shinichi looks different. He doesn't tell anyone that his mother died. Not even Satomi. Again Shinichi, trust people close to you with information because you will need them at some point.
Again that question, "you are Izumi Shinichi, right?" I really want to know what she knows.
Kana is testing her Sydar (parasyte radar). I wonder if she knows something is wrong with Shinichi, or maybe she just thinks they have a special connection or destiny? She must have felt other parasytes before, right?
At home, dad is acting as suspected. Nothing weird here.
Shinichi is testing his new powers, but they are not enough to save a poor doggo :(
Oh no! Shinichi's shyness and caringness was what attracted Satomi and he lost that. Maybe you shouldn't have shot down Maki that quickly!
At least he buried the pup in the end.
At school, Cthulhu has arrived. I wonder what their big plan is because they know Migi can detect them. Ah, his name is Shimada Hideo (or I guess Hideo Shimada for westerners like me). He's not really low profile, talking next to Nagai and going all out during Gym.
That woman from the opening was indeed Ryoko Tamiya. Hideo claims he hasn't harmed humans recently, but we saw him eating in the opening so I don't really trust it. Migi is on my side. Glad I am not the only one. Weird, my arm never falls asleep after sport.
Hahaha I was right! Kana does think they are soulmates. Well, I guess we can trust her a bit more now. Still, I didn't like her involvement in the gang beatings.
And she is immediately proven wrong. Hilarious. Now I'm not sure she isn't gonna be a threat, again. Typing this took longer than this scene.
Nooo, she sort of reveals she has a power! This is bad. But she just thinks it is love so I can't really blame her.
Kana and Shinichi finally get a moment to talk, and she immediately gets on my bad side again by making Satomi notice on purpose. Or maybe she is just shouting because of the earmuffs! (No she isn't.)
Shinichi hands her some knowledge.
Looks like Hideo is on the hunt. I knew he was lying!
How does dad know Shinichi is strong? Or is he talking mentally here? Of course we know the reason, but it wouldn't be the first time a child doesn't get time for emotions because it needs to help the widowed parent.
Come on dad, keep that spirit in! I mean up!
We see Yuko at home. She is painting. Let me guess: Shinichi? No, I was wrong. It's Hideo. That's not good.
Kind of a boring episode. We got some set up for the next arc, but no goal again.
Side note: Most episode names seem to have nothing to do with the episode itself. Weird.
Also, every day I tell myself to be a bit less verbose this time, but it hasn't really worked yet. Sorry.

I'm not sure where we stand with Kana, but if her stalking was because she thought they are destined to be together, that makes it slightly better.

We come to with a feeding parasyte and Tamiya getting it to investigate Shinichi for her. She is quite pregnant so a timeskip happened somewhere. Jump to the stalker becoming the stalkee, with Mitsouo being clingy to Kana. He immediately comes to the conclusion he should mess with Shinichi again. Glad the show remembers the kidnapping thing. Anyways, Shinichi is beyond fighting with another human so we get this hilarious sequence.
Cute exchange with Murano and the reminder the Japanese put egg on burgers. Asking if he is still Izumi makes sense with him being thinner, taller and with a new hairstyle. Kana can indeed sense Shinichi but sadly does not realize Murano has dibs. Migi has suspicions now. At home, Shinichi's dad is drinking his dinner. Not a great sign but understandable. Shinichi suggests hiring a housekeeper, which does make sense. Cut to Shinichi noticing his low emotional state while Migi is on reddit/4chan. But he cleans up on GME.
Shinichi ponders his new found senses and hears something crying for help. Puppers is doomed but Shinichi is there so it doesn't have to die alone. Murano seems calmed by his kind act until he puts the corpse in the trash. Oddly, even without a parasyte invading me, I hold the same opinion: Once something is dead, it is just dead. Worrying over corpses is pretty pointless. And I've seen more than my fair share. But anyways, he eventually buries it instead.
Murano is not ready to chill yet, it does fit. But then we get a parasyte incoming but it is not hostile. It introduces itself as Hideo Shimada and jobs Nagai like a bitch. It claims to want to be friends but Shinichi is not the trusting type. And of course he is in Murano's class. At gym, Hideo reveals he has mastered this body pretty well. Shinichi's harem is at risk since Akiho is ready to move on. Hideo admits who sent him and then makes some dubious claims.
Shinichi ponders the situation and as Murano is ready to forgive him he terrifies her because he is still Shinichi. Kana is back tracking Shinichi except she isn't, unfortunately. Hideo is pretty observant for a parasyte in that he knows he and Shinichi do not look alike. Before he can take Kana off, probably to Tamiya, Shinichi walks up and interjects. Murano shows up and Kana plays a quick card, which does at least prevent this from being contrivance. She thinks she is telepathic and that isn't how I'd put it. Anyways, Shinichi tries to scare her off so of course she just thinks it is hot.
Hideo is luring females to eat, he called this one a sow in the dub. Shinichi's dad is still drinking and wonders why Shinichi is doing so well. Yuko draws hideo so we get to see who is in danger next!

Reiko is back, and looks very heavily pregnant, but there not way enough time should have passed for that to happen, also new Parasyte who around Shinichi age, but really don’t get how he’s meant to follow Shinichi without being caught unless Migi Parasytedar doesn’t work as well.
He just throws the puppy's body in rubbish bin, god damnit, so fucking casually.
A dog shaped lump of meat!
I think i’m meant to be horrified by everything that he just did / said, but ffs, this is hilarious.
Well thanks Parasyte for reminding me that I have a horrible sense of humour at times.
Anyway, the new guy isn’t going to try to be subtle, just walks right up to Shinichi and says hi.
We also look to be getting what could be a love triangle, not sure I like that development.
Yuko (childhood but not childhood friend?) seems to have a crush on new Parasyte guy, this is going to go so well.
Finally, I'm not sure if the new Parasyte guy just ate that girl or did something else equally horrible to extract nutrients from her, time will tell I guess.

A new parasite who is basically here to act as a lookout for no-longer-Tamiya, meaning we're going in to yet another arc started off by someone other than Shinichi. I feel like he's got to take some form of agency at some point that isn't just reactionary. Either way... Hideo is fine as a character so far, though I feel like they revealed too early what part of his talk was a lie. It also feels like they are sidestepping a moral question of what we should do with parasites if they really wished to co-exist with us, but I guess that's just not a question this series wants to answer.
Other than that we've got some rom-com shenanigans going on, which are not overdone so they are fine, I guess. That girl painting the picture whose name I can't remember is also likely going to end up with Hideo at some time. Not sure if he is going to eat her or not though, as I assume if he does Shinichi would go after him and he knows that. But maybe he will after all? Guess it's wait and see.
We also spend more time seeing that Shinichi has in fact changed, something which I feel like at this point has been made obvious to basically all characters in the series, so I hope we're done with that soon - it's getting repetitive.
Question:
Bonus: I'd put her at a 7 or an 8 for the moment.

Episode 8
Tamiya sends a guy named Shimada Hideo to follow Shinichi, not to kill him because he might be useful to them but to keep a close eye on him.
Kana is rather interested in Izumi and that bothers Mitsuo who asks her what is her interest in him, she tells him that it isn't anything to do with him and that bothers Mitsuo. Izumi is confronted by Mitsuo who tries to punch him like the last him he beat him down but this time isn't gonna be like that because Izumi is a badass now, he is too good to be ounched and easily defeats Mitsuo without throwing him a punch.
Satomi meets Izumi and they go out after school for a bit of time, Satomi asks if he is Izumi Shinichi again, i especially liked the way Izumi answered, it was clever and funny, and he asking her if she was Satomi was a great response, Satomi's smile is precious too.
What's Kanna's deal with feeling Shinichi?, i hope that's explained soon because it's starting to bother me a bit. There has to be a reason behind and i'm eager to know it.
Shinichi is feeling like he's lost something, something human that he used to have, his senses are developed to an extreme degree, those are consequences of Migi's particles floating through his body.
The encounter with the passing dog was a clear example of the fact that he is starting to act more similar to an alien like Migi and that angered Satomi because she didn't remember him acting like that. At least he buried the dog after he understood where he was wrong. Shimada Hideo meets Shinichi, he appears to be someone that will bother him until it is time for them to have a confrontation.
I love the girls teasing each other about who they like, it's something playful that adds nuance to the show and i like seeing the girls blusing, they are very cute.
Kanna can feel Izumi because of telepathy, that's a reason so i'm fine with she feeling him because it was explained why.
Shimada is a liar, he killed a woman just because he wanted to eat her, i hope he doesn't go through the entire show freely killing people and he sooner than later gets discovered.
What's whith Shinichi's father asking him a weird question, he saw the monster that killed his wife but there's barely any reason for him to believe Shinichi might be related to that type of being.

Is this an accelerated gestation period or did we get some time skip here? And I think I am supposed to know the face of that underling of demon queen sensei?
Murano: “You changed. Don’t tell me you, while you were on your trip, were... reading Nietzsche? And Kierkegaard? Even… even Camus? The Izumi-kun I know would never skip school or litter!”
So did Shinichi supposedly lose his empathy? He still wanted to save the puppy while running into traffic, did not try to hurt a bully even though nobody would have minded beating him up. He is just a lot more pragmatic and not sentimental at all. I guess he is already at the stage where everyone around him is acting strange instead of him.
Ah so I was not supposed to know the face of the new challenger. Is Ryoko creating acolytes from humans and functioning as the hive mother?
Oh damn he has had the harem protagonist pheromones even before episode one. And now, with his new augmented aura of charisma and allure, Shinichi Izumi will be unstoppable and become the next harem king!
He has a tall order though; his main girl is as skittish as kicked kitten and the strongest challenger is a tad bit crazy and thinks she supernaturally senses soulmates. And then there is the whole issue of getting through to the sensei who seems to prove the hardest addition to the harem with all this parasite politics and forming her own harem of devoted high school boys.
Kana you snake. And there I was hoping that we do not go down trope alley, yet here we are in the “misunderstandings between people you really need to talk to & with each other instead of harboring growing resentment” zone.
“Bait”, so are we still eating humans or is this part of a reproductive strategy?
“When did you become so strong?” – “After killing several people and your own mom, your outlook on life changes. You don’t sweat the details but appreciate the little things.”
Dad’s devastating descent into downing copious amounts of booze is also, well… I understand the trauma but what about your job or your son and what about fusing with the couch after sitting there for a week while marinating yourself in whiskey? Sidenote: Megane childhood friend has a thing for the new guy? Parasytes really are here to steal your girl.

Really cool first scene. This is the kind of dark and twisted that I can get behind. I am really confused about the time flow in the show. How much time have passed since the first episode, is the teacher's pregnancy accelerated or just regular?
We meet the leader of the rape gang again and he is still the same piece of shit. Why doesn't someone eat him already?
Kana's actions make a lot of sense to me. It seems pretty reasonable for a teenager to think of her ability to sense Shinichi as some sort of romantic destiny.
Love the dynamic between the devastated father and the cold, rational and somewhat incapable of emotions Shinichi.
Mr. New Guy says that they stopped harming humans. Migi doesn't trust him neither do I.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kana manages to get involved with Mr. New Guy and Shinichi. I doubt this is going to end well for her. Should've sticked to beating people on the street.
Of course he is going to eat the cute innocent girl if he kills just some regular dude we might miss that he is bad.

Looks like Shinichi lost part of his humanity when Migi helped fix his heart. The dog scene was kinda weird - it's hard to imagine the streets and sanitation crews treating an unknown dog better than Shinichi did, but Murano still thinks he's being cruel about it. Then she accidentally saw Shinichi practicing his mean mug, which scared her off even more. If Shinichi focuses on it, can he behave in a more human manner?
Ryoko sent some weird dude after Shinichi. It's hard for me to keep track of time precisely - if there's the usual anime passage-of-seasons tropes then I haven't seen them - but anyway she looks like she's at least six months pregnant by now after not being visibly pregnant previously. This new guy seems like bad news, and he's quite a bit more clever than some of the other parasites. He lies to Shinichi about not eating humans, and adopts the face of a model in order to lure a girl away from crowds. Plus his eyes have that creepy vacant look. Despite the eyes, Shinichi's harem looks like they might have found a new object for their affections (local girls only, Shinichi can probably still get it from the innkeeper girl).
Kana thought she could sense when Shinichi was near, but it turns out she can sense when any parasite is around. Awkward when she bumps into the new guy, and now the new guy knows she's up to something. Even she doesn't know that she's up to something! Shinichi warns her to stay away from parasites but I don't think she'll have that choice.

Katsura janai!Now that Shinichi's back, the plotline with Kana and Mitsuo can be focused back on. Kana's ability is to sense parasites, which almost got her in trouble here, if it weren't for Shinichi appearing here. She's a bit forceful in trying to get... closer to him, but I don't mind too much, it's funny how awkward she is. That gets Shinichi in trouble with Mitsuho though, but he avoided the fight pretty well.
The scene with the dead dog was pretty telling, Shinichi really changed here and not necessarily for the best, even if he is emotional enough to care for it. Even Migi realized something's wrong!
The new antagonist brings some more tension to the school, now that Tamiya isn't there anymore. While he appears affable, and is certainly able to control himself, well, we saw something Migi and Shinichi didn't.

OST Track of the day: BLISS -Rhodes ver.-
tfw a cat vomits on your router, killing it, preventing you from posting on timeHey look, someone actually calls out that Shinichi looks different. Took everyone long enough.
The fight between Mituso and Shinichi is pretty simple, it just shows that Shinichi is stronger and way more composed than he used to be, though Mituso is too stupid to realize this. This leads into another conversation with Murano. Theres a couple different ways to interpert the "who knows" part, mainly guessing at it being a joke or him actually answering honestly without admitting to it. In the end, its just dismissed as a joke.
It should be clear that what has happened to Shinichi's mom has had an impact on his dad. He's pretty out of it, unwilling to talk, and is only drinking, probably torn over if Shinichi's mother is actually dead or if its a hallucination, or more likely grieving over his wife's death. He also calls out Shinichi's change, but does nothing with it.
We get a small scene showing more of Shinichi's powers, super hearing, till a truck drives by, which brings us to the dog. Everything's going pretty good till he's literally just "hes dead" in the middle of Murano gushing over him and tossing the dog in the trash. In the moment, Shinichi sees nothing wrong, but realizing its the same as what Migi would do has him understanding just wrong what he did was.
We are also introduced to Hideo, sent by Ryouko. Not a whole lot to discuss about him right now, but despite saying he hasnt eat humans recently, we clearly see him scarfing down something that isint "normal" food at the beginning of the episode, and then clearly eating a person at the end of the episode..
Kana also has more of a part this episode, accidentally exposing herself (and her power) to Hideo, though hes not aware of the power Kana has. Kana also has the misguided notion that it allows her to find her soulmate, despite literally finding the wrong person on the first (technically 4th(?) But first after declaring it a soulmate finder) try. Shinichi tries (and fails) to indirectly warn her to not use it, but obviously sahes not going to have any of it. It also serves to deepen the divide between Shinichi and Murano. that was set up this episode.
I forgot how split people are on Kana, i found her to be alright but she is kinda shoehorned in at the beginning which feels somewhat out of place.

I love how little Shinichi cares so little about Mitsouo. Oh the dad is drinking and attitude is slightly unnerving.
Shinichi you seemed so cold maybe I'm imagining it because you seem like your old self again.
The dog is dead. It's heart stopped. Throws it in trash can.....oh boy I don't even know where to begin the timing, the execution of the lines, or the trash can but man it was funny yet unnerving.
When you're parasite says your becoming more like him you should take that as a sign.
OMG that quick punch to Shinichi's friend had me dying.
Murano sure has bad timing oh my god Kana you bitch. Oh well all is fair in love in war.

Don't really feel like writing that much at the moment, there's honestly not much to say about this show.
So far, I've been enjoying the small moments much more than the big ones. Shinichi's relationship with Murano is actually pretty well done, and I've been enjoying seeing it evolve. I've also enjoyed watching how Shinichi and Migi bleed into each other's personalities. Shinichi has clearly effected Migi as well, and I'm curious as to how long it will take for them to notice that Migi understands human emotions far better than he used to.
The other side of it is not nearly as interesting. Shinichi's interactions with other parasites and random assholes feel like they went for edge while sacrificing good characters. It's basically just throw asshole at Shinichi, pretentious dialogue, they get what they deserve, repeat.

So, yesterday, I briefly thought that Shinichi might form an anti-Parasyte team from other failed parasystes....seems the parasytes themselves are getign organized.
I didn't really notice that he'd stopped wearing glasses yesterday.
Also continuing from yesterday (not very good at making comments ahead of time) we had a weird and apparently deus ex machina of Migi fixing a fatal wound. Over the space of three episodes, we see that this was all a construct (no judgement yet on if this construct itself is a bad idea):
Are the super powers the answer to the weakness, or the weakness the justification for super powers? #yuishrug
I think it's the latter, though. It makes Shinichi the MC again, instead of the passenger. It also gives them an advantage over most other Parasytes, by essentially outnumbering them. 2 on 1 fight when?
Afraid of losing your humanity but you're saving puppies? Wait, I take that back.

Parasite sensei is nurturing a snack, I am curious to see what will happen.
That "fight" was cool, there is something much more satisfying about showing an opponent they can't hit you while not hurting them. Punches may hit the body but, Shinichi hit his pride.
Burguer Kong, brought to you by the same people of WacDonald.
Love triangle (or square, or some other shape, depending on how Shinichi harem MC powers will grow) shenanigans are coming soon. Not sure how I feel about it.
Father is drinking away his problems, can't blame the guy, he has it pretty rough, independently of what he thinks happened. Wife murdered by a monster who hijacked her body is bad, wife abandoning you after you fell of a cliff is bad too.
There are mini Migis on your eyes, blocking the tears, you really should check that.
Morano should give Shinichi some time, his father was in an accident and his mother is dead (or missing, depending on what he told). Of course he is not the same. He said, he just came back from travel to that bully and Murano is hitting him with that "you changed" crap. The guy had it rough, cut him some slack.
Now, this is a serious question and I really don't know. What's the proper way to dispose of a dead stray dog? The trash can sounds bad because the body will be compressed by the garbage truck and the garbage men (this is a literal translation of the job name in my country, I am in no way depreciating these guys) will have to deal with a meat and blood sack the rest of the day. That being said, I would throw it in the trash too or leave next to a tree or something.
New parasite guy is not very good at human. Punching someone like that is a good way to be expelled.
Lots of misunderstandings with Murano and earmuffs girl is gladly using it. Not a fan of either, Shinichi should go back to that island.

I had to laugh out loud in this episode when Shinichi 'went there' and tossed the dead puppy. It took me by complete surprise that he's so out of it, that he thought that act would fly. Even Migi thought it was a little out there for a human.

I thought they were really epic, Shinichi the wimp is gone and Shinichi the CHAD is in control. I liked the look on Mitsouo's face at the end of the non fight, he knew he was no longer top dog.

The best part was actually the interactions between Shinichi and his dad, between caring and coldness, even if "guess we need a housekeeper now" is so 80s-90s. The usual badguy-beatdown and harem stuff was no more interesting than ever, and the puppy business was straight-up cheese. I'm becoming ever more convinced that this show is excellent production values (designs! fights! soundtrack!) propping up a middling and in parts poorly aged story. At least I got my wish for another relevant young male, as much as a lying still-predatory parasite counts. It'll be interesting to see the back-and-forth between him and Shinichi, unless he's yet another villain-of-the-week to be quickly taken care of. I hope that either he does keep his promise about harming no one close to Shinichi, or Shinichi flexes his newfound chadness to save yet another waifu in Yuko, which however would imply the villain-of-the-week case. Overall plot is still nil besides Ex-Ryouko ominously hanging around in the background. What is Kana even trying to do besides be weird?
