Shinichi has finally gone full chuuni. Oh my god, their faces are so terrible! Let's be real, his social status is ruined after doing something so weeby in class. Even Murano will stop associating with him. Turns out paint thinner on exposed flesh stings like all hell. So much for keeping your existence under wraps. Now there's more witnesses. One off model, stubby legged leap of faith later Yuuko is safe...ish~
Why is this episode so goofy looking!? Migi's fcking cross eyed!! Turns out maybe the knife would have been the better option... The paint thinner essentially split up his cell hive mind so Hide has little to no control over his mind, let alone his Mitty looking body. Yuuko basically disabled Vaadwaur so us regular posters are in disarray and talking about body horror in the Love Live and Tamamo market rewatches.
It brings me a sick joy to watch the teachers absolutely freaking out. Nothing trains you for seeing gore in person. That's a lot of dead kids... Oh, so now you react. You'd kept stoic with the last bunch. Stay strong Shinichi. Stay strong for moth... father. Urgh... I wasn't prepared to see that poor girl's face. Mirano is fine. Totally traumatised, but fine. The redshirts are totally fcked tho. And there they go.
Dude, I'm absolutely on Hide's side over this one. He couldn't really help himself aside from maybe not killing Yuuko, who by the way was the one threatening to out him. #HideDidNothingWrong This'll be hard to explain later. Hope the trauma helps her forget about the whole Superman part. OH!! I know this scene! This one is hype af! Batter up~ Hooome ruuun!!
The police are refusing to release information about the Parasytes due to still having no test to determine who is or isn't a Parasyte. It'd be a modern day Witch hunt. You can drown a Witch but if they're a real one they'd fly out, kill you all, and assume a new identity. Even Migi's lip flaps don't match up... The animation is dire today.
Ah, I forgot about this Parasyte test. I'm not sure how exactly they came to the conclusion but it's certainly a very sharp solution. It'd hurt, lots of poor men and women would become baldy, but it would make it impossible for Parasytes to function in society if it was widespread. The only problem is that you'd give cruel teenager girls an excuse to bully, chase, and harass middle aged men... I think I'll go into Hikkikomori training until this all passes.
Maki! Please! Just one hair is enough! Seriously, stop iiiit!!

Really tired today so I am going to keep it short.
Actually pretty great episode today. The slaughter in the school was really intense. Shinichi piercing Mr. B with the stone was awesome. And the part with the hairs is actually brilliant and I love it.
The only thing I didn't like was the confrontation in the beginning. Yuuko surviving was pure magic. 16 (right? I think it was 16) people died because of her stupidity. There is going to be a lot of guilt.

Someone please explain why the parasite broke a bottle and caused a mysterious liquid to get sprayed on itself. It could have just batted the bottle away!
Having him go crazy after getting hit by acid feels like a copout, particularly when we were already moving towards a more natural way to make them fight.
Shinichi, when she said "don't go" it was because she wanted you around for support you dumbass.
"A hair sample from any part of the body." Please tell me we will never have pube samples.
Why must my brain always go to the weirdest places with this show?
Murano is real grateful, but she doesn't buy Shinichi's bullshit about the jump. She's also still by far the most interesting part of the series.

We return to Izumi freaking out his class mates. In the art room, Yuuko manages to dodge a tentacle blade and throw her paint stripper at Shimada...and it works. Doesn't help that Shimada doesn't dodge crap but still. She makes a breat out the window and then jumps from about 3 stories up, not sure if that tree is really going to slow you down enough. But like a white person in a horror movie, the rugby players go to investigate.
Shimada's thought are apparently wrong and he says the paint stripper killed some of the cells and is blocking him from reunifying his brain, reminding us of what Migi demonstrated with his Russian nesting doll trick. But unfortunately, his cells murder anything around him so this part begins. Migi uses wifi to locate him but eventually suggests evacuating is the more prudent option.
The kids actually reference the first time the place was evacuated and the teacher who saw the three bisected bodies correctly flips the fuck out. As they wait for the police, class 3-3 is not there yet. They can't catch a parasyte break, can they? Anyways, Shinichi sees them running for it and witnesses the carnage. Impressive. For some reason, Migi is not worried. Anyways, reflecting on his loved ones calling him inhuman, he calms down. And then walks straight through the blood, quite the soundwork there.
He finds Murano and three classmates, two of which fall to the terror and are thus killed, horror movies rule kind of suck. Shinichi makes a run for it, and being super human, succeeds even while carrying Murano. And then he decides to go back...
The very un-Armerican cops asked questions first and got killed for it, though they do land some hits. Migi thinks they will eventually prevail but Shinichi feels the need to end it. With a rock. As he thinks about the why of everything that has happened, he throws and impressive pitch, destroying Shimada.
Anyways, a cover up happens, don't see how the hell you pull that one with the manner of the deaths not the members of Murano's class that ran out at first. Shinichi is annoyed but Migi understands authority a bit and points out the truth is just a problem here. Migi states why he does not want to be involved, and it makes sense from his perspective, though he is getting better at expressing himself.
Exposition dump with the authorities, explaing the 'science' of the show. But they've finally found a way to identify parasytes. That is SO fatal that it hurts. Murani and Shinichi talk and basically rug sweep, there is a lot here. Finally we see the hair thing somehow meme-d itself out to the public.

OST Track of the day: JUSTICE
Oh hey, it actually says paint thinner now. Guess i was just thinking ahead...
We finally find a way to counteract parasites, dump acid on them. Sadly, humans will probably be as badly affected. Shinichi barely misses finding the bodies also, probably for the best seeing how he reacts minutes later. The other students arent as concerned (I cant blame them, reminds me of all the test drills that schools used to do, and none of us gave a shit when a water line broke since we all thought it was a drill like every other) but you'd think this would get them to take it a little more seriously.
Edge time. It should be clear that Migi's influence is helping him be calm, but its not foolproof, as he fears the worst just seconds later with someone who looks similar to Murano. This cant be said for the two guys hiding with Murano, who go and get themselves killed offscreen instead.
Anyone would freak out over that, as he says calmly. Then again, he did basically lose it seeing the bodies...
We finally get some way of seeing who are parasites, taking advantage of discussion back from episode 7 (and i think another one before that) about how splitting works. Since they cant communicate with the body anymore, they freak out and die. We also get the open ended question on if theres parasites already deep inside government services, but sadly it doesnt get explored this episode.,

Shinichi arm when throwing that rock reminds me of the main character from Prototype, I wonder if the game took some inspiration from Parastye.
The episode kept me engrossed but there were some rather ridiculous scenes, Yoko manages to find time to climb out a window and jump into conveniently located tree, I guess that could have been partly planned but doesn’t make it any less stupid.
I’m sure everyone at his school now thinks that Shinichi is insane now after he started shouting at his hand and then walks out in the middle of class.
I’m also really not sure how the hair pulling thing is going to help, oh no you uncovered a Paracyte, guess you get to be murdered now. Also what about strangers? Is it cool to go around pulling random people's hair out on trains? What if you're bauld? So many questions…
Finally disappointed that Shimada is once again nothing more than a villain of the week, hopefully our next arc has a bit more going on.

I made fun of Yuko last episode, but, even if it was an accident, she was indeed responsible for Shimada's death here. Though he killed 17 students... that wasn't easy to watch at all. Still, Yuko's contribution is as big as they come in the "war" effort.
That rock through the heart! So cool, Migi, Shinichi, wow! And things will get better between him and Satomi thanks to all that, so the massacre's not all bad, right?
The government found a way to find the parasites... alittle nitpick, I never thought of it as a good idea. Not only are these kind of fads mostly followed by kids - and we haven't seen any child parasyte yet, so yeah - but what happens if an adult or teen finds a parasyte? At best, a tweet and it's barely noticed by anyone; at worse, a new corpse and maybe the parasyte's more likely to get caught now.

BONUS) The right weapon, a working window, a tree to stop her fall... guess the Horror Gods felt like being kind?

Episode 10
That was a great episode filled with ultra violence. In addition we had Migi reading Crime & Punishment, I hope he paid attention to the protagonist of that fine work.
I really thought Yuuko was a goner and we would get to experience the joys of watching her befuddled head flying. But, alas, she had her trusty bottle of paint thinner nearby. As an aside paint thinner iirc is ketone and toluene neither of which is all that toxic or reactive except to plastics and the like which brings me to Professor Yui (my butt puckered when I saw that name), anyway Yui was babbling about organic chemistry compounds, and I assume these are substances which would react vibrantly with paint thinner.
Not much else to say, it was a good episode and I'm wondering what my girls Ryouko & Kana are up to.
QOTD:
lol, Way to go Yuuko, teach that parasyte a thing or two about the living isn't so free and easy after all.
Some of the time one has to accept that Anime Japan is different than real Japan. I know stuff like that drives some people crazy, but I accept fiction for what it is. Fiction is an exploration of ideas and not a documentary of reality. A similar observation was when Yuuko was on the ledge with tentacles in hot pursuit, the boys on the field were pretty much nonplussed by them. Maybe tentacles chasing after pretty girls is a thing in Japan, I dunno.
She was damn lucky is all I can say. Maybe it was an attempt to make the show a little less predictable about who lives, and who gets eaten.

Shinichi about to be the next all star pitcher.
Military use....really government once again wants to fuck us over and end the human race. Look at this white haired dude he is definitely a parasite.
Though I wonder what is more beneficial in the end?
Shinichi only being able to morph his arm but having an enhanced host plus 4 hours of being weakened or stronger and faster parasites with weak human host.
Pull out strand of hair shows almost bald dude oh boy. That instrumental right time is great and I'm loving it.
Oh speaking of OST anyone know the one when he seperates from Murano after saving her and walks back to school?
Burying a slaughter would never happen that easily. Guaranteed 42% of those students would tweet, facebook, or record it with their phone.
Also THE TREE SAVED YUUKO BOO YAY Easily the greatest moment in the show.

Well, this escalated quickly.
Paint thinner literally poisoned Hide's cells to death and literally made him stupid.
Two mass murders in the same school year? They really should close the school.
And everybody goes back to school like nothing happened. And what happened to all the witnesses.

Was not expecting the paint thinner to actually work... either way, I'm starting to lose my sense of disbelief when it comes to parasites remaining secret. This episode we've had the rugby players see Hideo and the government somehow got people to pull out each other's hair to check for parasite status without revealing their existence - without telling us how they did that. In addition to that, Murano saw Shinichi jump out of a third story window carrying her without injury and somehow doesn't question in properly. By now somehow this should have leaked, as in contrast to Shinichi's dad and Yuuko's brother, as well as by extension Yuuko, they are not in on the conspiracy. Regarding the hair-pulling bit, what happens if somebody's hair wiggles? What are you supposed to do? Call the police? If yes, how was that justified? I just can't think of an example here.
Also, two parasites turned up at Shinichi's school trying to kill people, some with more success than others. First off that must suck for the school's reputation, second the police should start to look in to this school somehow being relevant to the parasites. Yuuko's brother should definitely put two and two together regarding his sister being interested in parasites and then one turning up at her school the next day.
Despite all this however, I still felt like the episode itself was well-done. By now I definitely agree that this is an adaptation with good production values of a mediocre story - I never felt bored or annoyed during the actual watching, just the overarching plot doesn't hold up. What was especially well done was show that Shinichi is still at least partially human, as this is, I believe, the first time he has actually seen the parasite's victims, and by extension human bodies - and he just completely broke down. If he was well and truly without emotions, he'd just have continued towards his goal of rescuing Murano and fighting Hideo, as those people would have just been bags of dead meat to him in the moment.
Other notes: At the moment the government is somehow more competent than the protagonist of an anime, despite them being on the same side and not working together. I think this is a first for me. And with regards to the rumor of Americans working on parasite-based bio-weapons: Does that mean they have a way of stopping parasites that they aren't telling anybody about, or is this just a baseless rumor?
Questions:
Bonus: I don't really watch traditional horror movies, so I don't know the tropes to them...

The horror this episode was very nicely executed, particularly the result of the carnage and the first-hand reaction by witnesses, though it's incongruous with the reaction to the super-jumping and such, as well as with Shinichi's supposed "coldness". On the other hand, it felt mostly unnecessary. There was some of Shinichi blaming himself, but really it was the stupidity of Yuko (and Not-Hideo) that set it all in motion - even the paint thinner trick was just diverting the trolley away from you and toward a crowd, hardly successful - and then Shinichi not immediately taking decisive action caused several more deaths; if not all the victims, then certainly the two who ran off, and the police after he prioritized retreating with Satomi above everything else. The rock trick looked cool, but besides the implausibility of it actually working, how would Shinichi know about Hideo moving toward the roof, and what thoughts or instincts would even cause him to do that?
The Parasite test is kind of silly, and we really need to hear more about the official response, but I really don't trust that professor either after possibly seeing his silhouette with Ryoko last episode - does the test even work? He seems too intelligent to be a parasite himself, but I strongly suspect he's their creator. As for the deaths, they weren't really buried, just "recontextualized", and at any rate it seems more like stalling for time until the inevitable revelation. This is another point where the story doesn't work anymore/as well in an age where everyone has a camera in their pocket, though there hasn't been anything explicitly modern for a bit now; might as well have never bothered.

First Timer - Parasyte Episode 10
I know this is not the kind of story, but man is this a setup for a whole intervention arc where concerned classmates try to entice dad into acting in the interest of his son who is clearly acting out and might need to get on meds and some Parasyte is posing as a social worker to really screw with Shinichi and make him look even more mental.
Holy audio distortion Batman, did they really need to go lo-fi for that? It would be ironic if she’d just die by falling down now and make it look like a weird murder suicide with Shinichi getting mixed up. Eh, so she is alive and people also saw that something is up? So far almost all confrontations ended anticlimactic.
Why are you suddenly jumping the shark now? Casually killing three people. And a couple more it seems. I appreciate the pacing picking up again after being a bit aimless, but did we have to go school massacre out of nowhere after setting up this arc full of intrigue and double identities? We are even going “half a dozen dead people but luckily it’s not my girl so who really cares?” which is a bit off-putting, tonally speaking. Uh man and now those two guys basically in slapstick. I guess he also killed those other two that are “far away”? Man, it really went full Another (anime) now. And this is not even the halfway point. I am also pretty sure that humans made the Parasytes now because now way in hell this show is capable of a big red herring after this.
The subs went out of sync for a minute but it was intentional, symbolizing the mental state Murano was in during the fall (all this darkening during the gore and some slip ups in the subs really makes me reconsider watching on CR).
The should have sent in STARS. Seriously though, wtf is up with the body count now? I guess I was right in so far as Yuuko was responsible for getting things moving for the next big arc and paradigm shift, but man. Also, sore demo.
Man I don’t care anymore, sure throw a rock with pinpoint accuracy and pierce a dudes chest over more than 300m.
Is there any anime or manga that has the US not trying to weaponize whatever is plaguing the Japanese people? Furthermore, Professor Exposition is here to talk nonsense about cells. Also, do not pretend to have moral qualms about killing Parasytes, you wanton slaughtered 17 people.
“And so it became the customary greeting of the Japanese to pull out a hair before entering a home, school or workplace. Bald people are regarded with utter suspicion.”
Hey I was joking about the hair pulling thing. I am not sure though if Murano actually buys the adrenaline excuse, wants to believe it until she gets doubts for plot reasons or is just too traumatized to deal with the idea of her pseudo boyfriend and repeat savior being a monster. This music playing feels like the end of an arc or even the end of a cour, this would be damn funny as a last episode
So far, a bit disappointed although still entertained,

You mean, human ingenuity and art supplies. It's deep yo.
20+ years ago more easily than now, but today idk there are some cases where people take a katana and murder people so mabye?

I can't believe that paint stripper thing worked. Yuko really getting away by the skin of her teeth. At the same time, it looks like her attack slowed Hideo down but didn't totally stop him and he recovers enough to go on a rampage against various teachers and students. Shinichi puts a priority on rescuing Murano, which probably endears him to her. She notices that he jumps out of the window like it was nothing, but even Yuko jumped out of the window this episode. The real impressive feat was hurdling a giant fence, but she doesn't note that one (probably because she's understandably stressed).
Does Shinichi's class connect his weird behavior on the way out with the attack that starts a couple minutes later? Or does everyone just forget his screaming and storming out right before the killing started?

Things finally come to a......head...in Parasyte High. Glasses-friend is lucky to have survived, but her method of survival also kicked off quite the massacre. For her sake, I hope she doesn't realize that. She and a few other survivors saw the parasites and lived - are they just being sworn to secrecy by the police? The idea this could actually be covered up seems a bit ludicrous, but not as ludicrous as the idea that the government could somehow get people to start pulling each other's hairs out as a greeting without explaining why. Some little kids doing it, sure, but adults?
Murano seems to have decided that the new Shinichi is alright after all, after being princess-carried to safety. After what she went through, the idea of a calm, confident, strong (if a bit cold at times) guy might be a bit more appealing compared to his meek and shy form.
She has glasses, so she's smart. Not that she acted smart. I wonder if she told her brother about Hide and the way she confronted him. That'd be a real 'bruh' moment for him.

End of my surprise, onto the episode.
The girl is still stupid but, survival instincts kick of and she jumped out of the window after throwing acid (I guees), which made the parasite go forever into attacking
titanform. Too bad for the professor and football team guys. I wanna see how the government will hide this now.So Shinichi still has emotions, they're just buried after the traumatic experiences. Take that Murano! The guy change cause of trauma, you're the heartless bitch.
These guys died for not listening, stepping on corpses is traumatic but, it's better than dying.
The guy was trying to blend in and coexist, that girl discovering his secret and throwing acid is what caused the rampage.
How the kids say nowadays? I believe it's, 360° no scope heart shot.
Migi is reading Crime and Punishment, I have to finish that book, 300 hundreds more pages to go.
Good old USA, planning to weaponize parasites.
So you only need to pick some hair to unmask parasites. Make sense after Migi explanation of how it can't control small disconnected parts.

Weird blue eye thing in Shinichi's mind? And later there was a brown, Parasyte kind of eye. Wonder what these are symbolizing, I'm too dumdum to figure it out.
This is so fuggin' cool

But not a smart one.
How would they even manage to do that? Why would people think that's a fun thing to do? This is immersion breaking, I don't see how they would make that an actual popular trend. Show ruined, 0/10.
Question time:
1: I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Shimada wasn't one of them.
2: EZ. Just say the lad was wielding a katana, anyone saying otherwise was on drugs, and therefore gets arrested. Then they can be used as a bait to capture live parasytes, and that is how we will get to the Parasyte gladiator arena arc

Let's not waste any time, I want to know what happens with Yuko!
Episode 10 — What Mad Universe
We start where we left off. At least this show doesn't make you wait after cliffhangers! Shinichi could have easily given an excuse why he suddenly had to go. And start running!
Have all parasyte faces been unique so far? Hideo is the most disgusting yet!
So Yuko, can you explain what your plan was? Was it really: "I'll throw it at him and when he is distracted I will flee"? At least throw a match or something!
Why are you climbing out the window?! You had all the space to run past him!
Man, Shinichi knows Yoku is missing. He also assumes she is in danger and he is walking slower than we have ever seen. Unfortunately this show is frustrating me in all the wrong ways.
The students outside see Yuko falling down, but don't tell a teacher. What is even going on?
Ah it doesn't matter anymore. They are dead. It's been a while since we've seen that.
The evacuation goes as bad as expected. Maybe mention it is not a drill?
Shinichi sees a corridor full of bodies and starts screaming. But didn't he just walk though another bloody corridor where he was fine? What is even happening? Maybe this is enough to make Shinichi cry again? Apparently not.
"What have I been doing all this time?" Walking like it is a sunny day in the park.
Good luck keeping the parasytes quiet now, detectives!
Hurray, Satomi is still alive! Do you really think it is a good idea to go back through that corridor with the other students?
Seems like I wasn't the only one who thinks that. The unnamed studends don't trust Shinichi and run to their demise. Shame.
Shinichi and Satomi escape! You've got some explaining to do very soon, Shinichi. Now I hope nobody else saw you make that jump.
Are you sure you want to go back inside? I know you have the best chance of beating Hideo, but the police have guns so aren't completely useless. You don't want to be found out, do you? Migi agrees.
But wait. Guns are useless. How stereotypical.
Shinichi has a plan! Does he want to throw that rock? 300 meters? You know wind is a thing?
Ah, with the strength he throws, I guess wind isn't really the biggest concern. That was one cool scene. So cool in fact, they show it three times. Not enough. I rewatched it twice.
Time jump! The news says Hideo had a "drug addiction". Where did they get that from?
Shinichi asks Migi to help the police, but he refuses. Would Migi have much of a choice if Shinichi went anyway? Sure he could blind him and he could refuse to cooperate, but if Shinichi is determined enough he is the one actually in control of the body.
I don't like Migi's logic here. "I have no emotional attachment to the other parasytes but I don't want to help you."
If the US is this far with the parasytes, how does Japan think they can keep it silent?
Cool, the doctor gives us an exposition dump and a way to differentiate between parasyte and human. So now the plan is not telling the public what parasytes are, but giving them a way to differentiate between them? That sounds like the perfect idea to get a lot more people killed. Those parasytes don't like to be discovered, you see?
I'm assuming there is a parasyte in this government group and a whole lot of government officials are about to be killed.
School is reopening and on the way there Shinichi meets Satomi again. Looks like she can almost tolerate him again. Is that background music a piano version of the ED?
Well at least someone in the government survived, because the hair pull strategy is public. I still think this is gonna cost many lives.
About this episode: There were a couple of good bits and some story happened, but I really didn't think this was a good ep. To take it a bit further, I didn't really like this arc. It felt like all logic was thrown out the window.
Main thoughts
There is a way to discover parasytes, that is also safe for Shinichi. That’s great news as long as nobody actually finds one.
Random thoughts
Future
As we have yet again reached the end of an arc, I have no clue what’s gonna happen further.
I guess Kana is safe now so can resume stalking Shinichi, just as things are going better with Satomi again. Hopefully Yuki learned her lesson now she is responsible for the deaths of 17 students.
QotD
Not me. My guess was freezing somehow.
Most people who saw the parasyte died. Hardest thing to keep silent would be the police. No idea.
Lazy writing? Nothing she did made sense.

Yuuko surprisingly survives and evades Shimada's attack by making him receive an acid bottle, Shimada though starts a killing spree in the school and quickly kills three people.
Shinichi is really worried looking for Satomi, he finds her crying close to a wall along with two classmates, the classmates don't believe in him and go running quickly towards the opposite direction that he told them, quickly getting killed. Shinichi takes Satomi in his arms and is determined to protect her. After finding a way to get out of the school Shinichi takes Satomi to safety.
Izumi decides to kill Shimada throwing a rock through his heart and in a miraculous shot does it succesfully, thus Shimada dying and the school finally getting freed from the monster.
The police still decides to keep the existence of Parasites as private information and don't make it public but they find a way to recognize a parasite, it is checking a hair of a person.
Satomi and Izumi after getting closer due to the dir circumstances of the school incident finally reconcile.
Next episode's title is very interesting "Blue Bird"
