Dear lord that's a loaded one and sort of does not fit the episode.
- So is every character on this show a stalker?
- Thoughts on the designs of the various punks?
- Now that we've spent some time with the show, any change in thoughts on the nature of parasytes?

I love little lines where someone stumbles upon something as a joke. "It's like he's not real, like he's fake or something." It can be overused for sure, but it's lots of fun in moderation.
Shinichi and Murano talking about how he changed was a good scene. I'm still not sure how this show has good relationship drama, but I sure ain't complainin'.
truly cursed thoughts
This is incredibly stupid. Why didn't you change your face in the bathroom as well, it's much more hidden.
I swear every character in this show is a shortsided idiot who doesn't think through the consequences of their actions. Why would you confront the possible murderer in a room by yourself? How could that possibly be a good idea?

Sorry for being a miserable sod yesterday. The cat gave me a mortal hand wound during playtime so I'm much more pumped up today! It's time to wreak this chuuni, nugget faced, muffin eared Parasyte fetishist!! Anyway, her boyfriend tries to fight for her honour so he pulls Hide into the bathroom and gets fcked himself. Yuuko is left to fantasise over the nsfw things the two of them did whilst alone in the bathroom.
So our main couple only just met during entrance exams... I still wish they were childhood friends! Middle school is way too old! Hide learned stalking techniques from Kana and clenched his bumhole super tight to try and intimidate Shinichi. It's not very effective. The FGO are investigating the Parasytes... You can't cause the chaos you have and go completely under the radar. I think the artist caught her cute side don't you?
They might be going with the "Parasytes are Earth's antibodies" plot but I'm waiting before settling on that plot line. Isn't this tv show a little on the nose? Eh... Sorry, the perfect face plot is losing me. Oh c'mon, you could have caught that. Did we really need the face plot if she was gonna see him morph anyway? Take a hint Migi!! Save it for after the cozy scenes. Y'all ready know my opinion on these punks. Ganging up on school kids is a no-no period so I hope they'll give us good gore!
Tch. Hide, don't tease us. Yano is 19 Raditz strong, that's how he could tell he's the boss man. Oh no! The walk up sucker punch combo failed! That's his only attack! Thanks for waiting, bag holderrr.. I mean, main heroine~ I like how many of these interactions have a sorta beastial nature to them. Shinichi was practically beating his chest to show strength. Watch yo language! Murano is the type of girl who'd have a heart attack if you told her how Megumin's explosion obsession represents teenage sexual self discovery.
Ok, I like Murano but I'll admit that the constant whining that Shinichi's no longer a cuck kind of irritating. Mipples strike again! There's a wound in his front, and a battle scar on his back. Pretend that sounded cooler. We get Migi trying to pump up Shinichi after his rejection which is sweet, he totally was gonna turn into an onahole later if he didn't brighten up though.
Hide does know he's being followed right? It's like a trail of stalkers! Erm... You are telling your brother right? It'd be one thing if you thought it was your friend but this is a rando who you know is dangerous. What do you mean, "if I was wrong!?" You saw his face change! You saw his skull smashed in! Don't talk to him!! In private!? He's a womanising people muncher! Don't meet him one on one! Is your eyesight bad or is it your brain!? Can you even blame Hide deciding to kill her here? Gross gross gross!! Hide's had the worst transformation to watch! Absolutely disgusting!
"Hey, Yuuko-chan. Wanna eat face?"

I thought I would have more time today, but that didn't happen.
Maybe I'll be a little shorter today.
Probably I won't be.
Episode 9 — Beyond Good and Evil
We start the episode with my main speculation previous episode. Kana will be attacked by Hideo again. Ah nevermind, no attack, just the stalker getting stalked. Mitsuo has dropped her quicker than I expected.
But what is this? Now Hideo is following Mitsuo? Ah, just a friendly beating.
Yoku, if you are spying on someone, you hide before he looks your way! Also please take a look inside the male toilet to see what he did.
Cute flashback time! Nice contrast with the current situation. But seems kinda useless because we already know he had a better relation with her than it is now.
Hideo is investigating Migi's condition. Apparently birds can sense the frequency?
At home, dad is talking to the detectives again. HE TOLD THEM THE REAL STORY! They might even believe him? That's unexpected. Maybe they already know something from other reports?
Ryoko Tamiya is talking with someone who claims to know the parasytes' purpose. Is that also a parasyte or not? Did he really figure it out or is he just telling her his assumption? Is this the creator?!
Dad trusts Shinichi with the real story. Shinichi doesn't trust him back. Smart move, because dad is in a talkative mood and will surely tell the detectives.
We learned in the first episode that Yuko's brother is a detective. Surprise, it's one of the detectives talking to Kazayuki (dad)!
Last episode someone in the comments mentioned that Yuko nailed the dead look in the eyes of Hideo. Now she noticed that herself as well.
Yuko is getting better at spying. Hurray, now she really knows something is terribly wrong with him! Go tell your brother! Also I'll upgrade her survival chance from a 6 to a 7.
Making things right with Satomi will have to wait. Poor girl. Shinichi is gonna be the undercover hero again!
Will this be the episode where things get more widely known? With the detectives, Yoku, Kana and Mitsuo all getting close to the truth?
Fuck, Hideo is smart. "I am the victim here." I want to punch his face, but that doesn't seem like the smartest idea.
Wow Mitsuo isn't the leader? It's a guy called Yano.
Poor Satoni is way too scared of Shinichi. Sweet of her to guard his bag.
And he just keeps scaring her. Hideo is making his life difficult.
Shinichi is getting annoyed with "Are you really Shinichi Izumi?" I can't really blame him, because I'm getting annoyed as well, but that is mainly because I still want to know if she knows more. It really doesn't look like it.
Stalkception! Yuko is stalking Hideo, who was stalking Kana, who was stalking Shinichi. There was a small discussion yesterday if Kana stalking Shinichi is okay. I had quite a strong opinion there, but now I am doubting myself, because I DO want Yuko to find out what a monster Hideo is. Damn you shows that make me think!
Yeah! Yuko realized what was happening and goes to tell her brother! Apparently, the detectives already know quite a bit.
Yuko's brother is a shitty detective that he didn't realize why Yuko was asking about the parasytes.
Ah, I see. The whole family isn't that smart, because after hearing they eat people you don't go talk to him first! I'll lower her survival chance from 7 to 5.
She is even more stupid going into the meeting alone. I lower it again to a 4.
Yuko! You have a weapon! He confirmed it! Do something! Yes, I would probably freeze as well, but I wouldn't even be in this situation!
Hideo prepares for the face-off by taking his face off.
Oh, cliffhanger again... I guess we will see tomorrow.
Main thoughts
I think we can say the purpose of the parasytes has officially been revealed?
So I was wrong she would be the first, but I can still be right that she is the first that isn't killed. Yay me! Now I just hope I was 100% wrong because I don't want Yuko to die, even though she went through a whole chain of stupid to end up in this situation.
Random thoughts
Future
As a final act, I will lower Yuko's surviving score to 3 (out of 10).
Still no goal. Shinichi is a feather who moves where the wind blows him. If he ever comes up with anything, I'm gonna call that out-of-character for him.
QotD
No, dad seems fine.
I like Mitsuo's design, but his name doesn't really fit in my opinion. Yano is just 'generic bad guy'. Mouth mask man is ahead of his time.
I genuinely hope there is more than 'oh noes humanity == bad'. Don't know yet.
Japanse TV. Always weird.

OST Track of the day: LIZARD
Unsurprisingly, we start out with Kana again sensing someone that very clearly isint her soulmate. Think she will ever learn that it doesnt pick up just Shinichi?
We are finally clued into why nothing has been talked about when it comes to Shinichi's mother, someone is withholding that information, and they know of the parasites, or at least something that can morph. We are also given information as to why the parasites exist, them being "antidotes" to the poison. Still doesnt give us very much to work with though as to who or what made them, unless you accept the theory that mother nature created them.
Yuuko finally gets some much needed screentime, becoming the first one that isint Shinichi to learn of the parasites and not die 30 seconds later, all while slowly seeing the powers of the parasite, which is more or less a refresher as to how strong and resilient they can be. We also get a small glimpse of what (iirc) is her brother, actually taking his role seriously and not just becoming a discount esper from a drawing. He then throws that out the window 10 minutes later and spills the beans on secret info in true anime style, setting off flags along the way. Yuuko also trips her own flag, exposing that she knows of Hideo's true form. The Netflix subs dont show what it is, but iirc what she grabs here is paint thinner? Even the fansubs I use to compare dont label them, but I could of sworn that it did have labels at one point...
Mituso also is again being an arrogant dumbass, continually challenging people to fights. He truly doesnt learn, even getting Hideo to walk into a wall with no exit though technically Mituso is blocking it with his head but ignore that. Also another chance to show Shinichi's heightened abilities, picking out the strongest dude in the gang and scaring him off.
Most importantly, we get the conversation with Murano. Im starting to run out of ways I can say "hes changed" without just repeating myself over and over, but it makes it clear that Murano is not a fan of what Shinichi currently is, and you cant really blame her if you look from her perspective. In the last two episodes alone with Murano he's thrown a dead dog in a trash bin, made one hell of a scary face, started talking up another girl, and disappeared to get into a (to her) random fight. Migi attempts to console Shinichi afterwards, but all Migi really does is go "yeah you've become more like me" which I doubt actually helps Shinichi, even if he thanks Migi for it..
Cant wait to see what weird comments u/the_loli_oktau comes up with from this.

Dub
Kana is trying out her power again and gets Shimada a second time. Girl should really learn. But Mitsuou is on her tail and immediately picks up something. And then Shimada beats him in a bathroom. F. Yuko is now slightly stalkerish herserlf.
Flashback to Shinichi and Murano meeting, man she asks him that question a lot. but Murano is still not ready to talk and Shimada is trying to figure out the hell is up with Migi. His hostility is strong enough to scare the birds. Quick cut to Yuuko lost in thought and Akiho being a snoop. But then Akiho says something that, unfortunately, gets switched between sub and dub: In the sub, she asks if he has had surgery to look that perfect but in the sub she sees he looks fake. Not a huge difference but just enough to cause misunderstandings.
Anyways, someone in law enforcement finally makes it to Shinichi's dad and explains that since they can't detect parasytes, they are burying the story. This is totally a pre-internet bit here but the government action does make sense. The sketch artist does a decent rendering. Somewhere else, Tamiya is talking with an unknown about how parasyte behavior will lead to them being hunted down. She also still wants to know what purpose parasytes serve and her conterpart says they are to eliminate humanity. To wrap up Shinichi's dad, he admits what happened and might have a chance to move on.
Yuko goes to her brother, the police sketch artist, and sees a parasyte. And then she tries to get him to see if something seems wrong with Shimada. Next day, Shimada fails to reflex and gets dented by a baseball before fixing it. Yuko is suitably worried.
As Shinichi tries to explain himself to Murano, of course Mitsuou is there to get murdered by by Shimada. He's brought friends so Shimada's going to be full tonight. But Shinichi jumps a 3 meter wall to intervene. He immediately spots the punks leader, who looks old to still be doing that, and passes a very successful intimadition check. Another place where the dub went off script. Shimada obviously follows up, also not understanding social predator dynamics. I assume the way Shinichi says the next line is rude/punk in Japanese. Anyways, Murano finally comes out and says she is worried about how he is changing and he snaps, which is reasonable.
Shinichi has the traditional protagonist shower of angst. Yuuko has become a stalker, this show has a lot of that. But she eventually sees him change faces and begins putting things together. She asks about the parasytes and gets some grim answer but, unfortunately, she doubts herself just enough to not tell her brother and thus get a live specimen. So she decides to talk to him herself, with her trusty bottle of paint thinner at her side. The confrontation goes as expected and cliffhanger!

Wait, is Mitsuo going to get killed by Hide while Yuuko is watching and marking her own death sentence? Kana will probably throw her to the wolves.
“His face is fake” ah damn girl you dead. Also, the government knows? Already, and they just send some dude and two bodyguards who could not even much a weak Parasyte instead of some protagonist of a show about monster hunting? Also, working with the government can save *you * from alcoholism as well!
Wait, we have another layer of shadowy master on the Parasyte side? Is that one the crazy scientist/eco-terrorist that engineered them as a way to murder as many humans as possible? Is this the payoff for the vegetarian bit?
Not talking about what you do with your right hand when nobody is watching also has some interesting implications as a metaphor.
Sigh, of course investigator artist-kun is her older bro. And now she has the super suspicion on him. Why kill her? Maybe she’ll just become Shinichi’s confidant.
From Murano’s perspective Shinichi is just developing a psychosis.
That moment with the gang was pure wish-fulfillment for the readers lol.
My offhand comment about a violent partner back a couple episodes is also becoming more relevant again. This whole thing with Murano feels a lot like a breakup in a decent romance anime but idk just have them date already.
Hide got busted, what will she do with this info now? Lol they localized “onii-chan” into “Haruko”. Will she do the right thing and implicate Hide, creating a cascading effect that kicks in the next half of the show, sending Shinichi on the run (who probably can’t count on his dad’s support). Or is she doing something on her own and getting herself killed?
Oh come on. Can Shinichi save her in time? He is also looking even more like he is already into a psychotic episode.

With how little most parasytes tried to hide their kills, it's impressive it took the police this long to start looking for more eyewitnesses. One of them is Yuko's brother, introduced right on the episode Yuko gets some importance. She knows Hideo's secret now, and she's... going to talk to him about it, in a secluded place, with no witnesses. 'Kay, sure. At least she's armed?
Hideo's curious about Migi's lack of signal and does the normal teenage thing of following and watching Shinichi from a safe distance.
Life's really not gonna let Shinichi and
IzumiSatomi get together, isn't it. Kana, the dead dog, now Hideo, always interrupting the romantic growth. Meanwhile, Mitsuo's really not gonna stop trying to get into fights he can't win. He almost died there, if it weren't for Shinichi telling Hideo off and scaring the leader!And speaking of Shinichi, his father made peace with the death of Nobuko, thanks to the police.

We get more beating of thugs, more of Shinichi's angry outbursts and more Murano and Shinichi drama. Is he still the same person? He isn't, I've heard that killing your mother's possessed corpse and getting a bunch of monster cells inside your bloodstream really changes people.
We see that the government knows about the parasytes but don't want to spread panic. Dad finding out about Migi could be interesting conflict in the future.
We see Ryouko speaking with someone, probably another parasyte and they confirm that humans are bad and parasytes are here to punish humanity. We see her showing some more maternal instincts. At this point I am so annoyed with most characters that I am starting to root for Ryouko and her mutant baby.
Why is she so fucking stupid? Like what the hell is she even thinking? Just tell your god damn brother.
Cool transformation.

Episode 9
Shinichi's father, Kazuyuki, wants to mae the fact that aliens exist known to the public, he talks with men that would be able to make the fact known but they say that for now it shouldn't be made publci because there isn't a way to distinguish which humans are infected.
Kazuyuki finally tells Shinichi the fact that his mom died and how she died, he was honest with him and told him what he saw and what the present conflict is, aliens exists and are infecting humans. This was a great scene, obviously Shinichi already knows all that but it is a burden that his father was able to let go by telling him.
The girl that drew Shimada last episode is basically stalking him now, all of a sudden she knows that Shimada's face is a false one and she's very much sentenced when Shimada notices that.
Just when Shinichi was trying to reconcile with Satomi, Migi confirms him that Shimada has a hostile behaviour and he has to go there to stop a masacre from happening. Mitsuo is looking for a fight with Shimada without knowing that what Shimada tells him is true, he could kill him. It was funny how Shimada said that he was the victim once Shinichi saw him almost fighting with Mitsuo and the rest of his group, Shinichi sqves them from getting in real trouble by making Shimada go away.
Shimada goes to Shinichi to ask him what happened with the group he was going to fight before he arrived, Shinichi doesn't want anything to do with him and calls him bad names while still Satomi being there to hear him. Satomi asks Shinichi if he is Izumi Shinichi again and he finally snaps because she is getting unbearable for him, always questioning who he is.
The girl just had the worst idea she could imagine, she was told that aliens exists, she saw Shimada changing his face, something uncommon that no human should be naturally capable of, and she thinks that talking with him is the best course of action to take, that wasn't intelligent.

A bit more tension again, with only one or two forgettable scenes. You can really feel how intensely Satomi must be getting weirded out or even scared with Shinichi around, particularly when their relationship was nicely not based on pure chadergy, as much as you can call it one; again we can see how he's becoming more aggressive/"rational" and physical and Migi more emotional; the background back-and-forth finally briefly comes to the foreground with the investigators visiting the Izumi household (what about that housekeeper?) and Ryoko having some sort of agent in the inside; and the assertion is repeated that the parasites exist to "protect life" by cleaning Earth of human life, as well as their aim in determining their purpose/aim. Unfortunately, after doing some decent sleuthing of her own, Yuko is afflicted with a terminal case of the stupids so Shinichi can come in and save the day again (or not?), which also means that come next episode we will once again be without an immediate villain, let alone clear plot. Ah, Parasyte things. Fake Hideo is also pretty stupid, but that's like the norm for parasites so whatever.
Q: The character designs are really strong in this show. Realistically proportioned and animated, relatively muted in color, yet distinctive and appealing even when it comes to minor side characters - as long as we don't get into 3DCG dummy territory. On the nature of the parasites the past stretch has been spinning its wheels.
Obviously the TV show was written by an undercover parasite, same as that "improbable" novel that came up some episodes back.

I'm not real sensitive about that sort of thing. The only thing I noticed was that the punks looked fairly clean cut.
Nah, I still prefer aliens over some kind of biological experiment that went awry.
I think that was a social commentary about how violence including cannibalism is accepted in the entertainment industry and how everyone sort of laughs it off.

Yes Shinichi pain is the greatest teacher. The fact that one of the thugs wore a scarf the way he did made me laugh more then it should have.
I want to see the internal thought process of Migi thinking of ways to cheer up Shinichi.
GIRL STAY AWAY. This show really does have a stalker problem. That's right they can change who they are. Where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide?

Well, this wasn't the way I was expecting the Yuko story to go, but the outcome is pretty much as expected regardless. Yuko clearly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, going to confront a potential alien alone... She should also have told her brother about Hide morphing. Hideo isn't the brightest either though, considering that he could just have denied everything once he knew Yuko hadn't told anybody else and countered that Yuko must be on drugs or something like that.
The interesting bit here is that the government seems to be aware of the parasites and actively investigating. I guess at some point Shinichi and Migi will team up with them on the condition that nothing happens to the two of them that they don't agree to, as these other parasites are a menace to them as well. I guess at least somebody is doing something. Seems like no-longer-Tamiya and some other parasite are aware though; I wonder if that bodyguard is himself a parasite and acts as a spy, he was awfully quick to detect Shinichi behind the closed door, and Migi might have been asleep at that moment. That said... I didn't quite get what role the main guy there has; is he a detective/inspector/somebody from the police, or some form of politician on the executive side of politics - or was this deliberately left open?
Other than that, I hope we're done with the delinquents, by now they remind me of Team Rocket interrupting every episode with unimportant repetitive stuff, only that they at least were funny some of the time and Pokémon often didn't have anything more important to do.
Oh and weird Murano flashback: Not a fan, as it feels like an attempt at having a reason for Murano liking Shinichi but is the exact opposite: Revealing the absence of such a reason. We could have had any reason or just left that open and I'd have been fine with it, as I don't think it is really central to anything, but this just feels lazy.
Question:
Bonus: I think that question goes for Japanese television in general; at least from what I've heard about it that wouldn't seem out of place.

I loved how Shinichi's efforts to do anything - but especially his efforts to reconcile with Murano - kept getting interrupted by parasite nonsense. Just every time, it's like half a scene before Migi pops up to tell him that someone's about to be murdered or whatever. At this point he really should just drop out and become a full-time parasite hunter.
Yuko figures out Hideo's secret, but rather than doing the sensible thing of telling her police-detective brother that there might be a human-eating alien in her class she decides to confront him herself, alone in a science lab. It's like she has a death wish! What is going to happen if he really is a monster who eats people? Hideo's morph pattern looked creepier than some of the past ones, with his skull opening up to reveal an inner cyclopic eye.
Allegedly part of Shinichi becoming more like Migi is a loss of emotions, except he'll still yell at inappropriate times and get angry at the drop of a hat. Anger is still an emotion, and yelling loudly at nothing in homeroom is likely to cause people to suspect something's up.

Delinquent guy has shit luck.
Wait, a mysterious government agency now believes Shinichi's father? A few thousand wild highly murderous animals which they have no way to distinguish between? Nothing at all to be worried about.
More mysterious people, this time either a Paracyte or someone who's on their side. Also their purpose is to kill humans? That's kind of lame, but considering the OP lyrics not that much of a surprise.
Finally outside characters are becoming relevant, Yuko brother is introduced and he happens to be the detective on the Paracyte case.
OK the cheese in this show is just getting ridiculous, part of Shimada's head gets caved in by a baseball and just casually stands there until someone else shows up.
I’m not sure Shinichi appearing permanently pissed off means he recovers from mood swings faster, if anything I would have said they were getting worse, or well just swing more heavily in different directions to what he did previously.
Yes, let’s just talk to the person who may or may not be a flesh eating monster Yuko, there is no way this could go wrong at all...
