I dont even know what is going on in this show

 

[Grexeno]

So the PI that was hired by Tamiya hired a PI to investigate Tamiya

ok

 

[Schadenfreude]

Maybe wearing the same clothes as your target is a good way to get noticed.

 

[Regiruler]

On the "good side": Akame, Tatsumi, Booby Cat, and leader
On the "bad side": Esdeath and the Prime Minister. I guess the Emperor too but he's such a non-threat.

wave and mastema?

 

[Shard]

This seems like a good idea with no flaws.

Superior alternate version

 

[BatDan]

Good things never happen in a parking garage.

See, he's about to die now

 

[SparksterMeta0]

[Imperial Bishop]

Another Too Dumb to Live snooper.

 

[Ultratech]

Welp, he's a goner.

 

[Line_HTX]

Looks like he's dead.

That duel between Akame and Kurome actually did a good job of maintaining the 180 line. Akame was on the left, Kurome on the right, and the camera remained grounded on that general side of the action throughout. At times their own action and movement made them cross over each other (so that Kurome was occasionally on the left instead at a couple points), but because of the consistent camera position you were able to follow that action and understand it easily.

So strangely the action was presented more competently than the dialogue scenes were.


Actually, I guess that really isn't much of a surprise for this show...

This is something I didn't notice while watching, but now that you mention it, you're totally right.

 

[Soulflarz]

I think hes dead

 

[Raxus]

This has to be a warning more than something to look forward to.

Spoiler

Why can't it be both?

 

[Jarate]

Worst intro ofthe night by far

this is way worse then DBZ Kai

 

[Tacorona72]

Potential rip?

 

[Korigama]

You know that whole "greater than the sum of its parts" thing? This is the complete opposite. It's somewhat greater despite its parts.

Were someone to take any random vertical slice of the series or just get a synopses of a few things, it wouldn't seem so bad. But every separate component being pieced together is just The Worst, watching it try to come together.

Oh, there's no question that it still falls short of what it could be. But considering that we've also had to sit through M&H (had to mention it again just for boring me so), SAO I & II, and Tenchi Muyo! GXP...yeah, I'll still take this. Ideally, we'll get something that comes together better next time.

AgK manga spoilers:

Akame and Kurome did have their battle there, but Wave actually succeeded in saving Kurome then. Furthermore, not only did Kurome live, she went on to defect from the Empire with Wave, had her Imperial Arms destroyed by him, stopped eating those cookies (which, as some of ToonamiGAF speculated, did carry those drugs she had been dosed with), and even made amends with Akame.

wave and mastema?

Wave and Run. Mastema's the latter's Imperial Arms.

 

[TheOGB]

I was kinda hoping they'd subvert expectations and the dude would just find them having sex

 

[Doctor Decimate]

man private investigators in Parasyte are terrible

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

When is the Mother Brain of the Parasytes gonna come down so Shinichi can have a ray gun blast finale fighting it?

 

[ramoisdead]

Parasyte can't be worse than what just transpired 30 minutes ago, right?

 

[ckohler]

Good movie, btw.

 

[Shard]

Oh no, they are going to start playing that one track from The Prisoner of Azkaban.

 

[UltraGunner]

Remember Shinochi, this is a sneaking mission

 

[B-Dubs]

Good movie, btw.

Better book

 

[Amikami]

Got in here in time or parasyte at least.

 

[BatDan]

Oh shit, something's coming

 

[Shard]

Welp, that settles that.

 

[Soulflarz]

Uhm
Did I miss something or did the plot just skip some leaps and bounds in order to get us here in the past episode.

Also our protagonist is freaking out way too heavily for someone whos braindead.

I'm jealous that you can notice these things while you watch a show.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Smells like...
CADAVERIFIC

 

[Line_HTX]

What's this about? You're so weird.

 

[redmetal86]

Damn it girl, didn't you see Sleepwalkers?

 

[Mik317]

women in this show are so poorly written

 

[Zonic]

Migi should be a GPS system.

"lol taking me away from the public to a private place to stand still, you weirdo"

 

[ramoisdead]

Lady, you shouldn't be in a vacant parking complex alone with some dude.

 

[UltraGunner]

GIRL HE ASKED YOU TO COME TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT GTFO

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Not creepy at all.

 

[Seda]

ded

 

[Hellwarden]

Time for a silly fight!

 

[Tacorona72]

Dang

 

[BatDan]

Mission failed. You suck at this Shinichi

 

[Crash Station]

Knowing how the manga seems to go I'm guessing it involved rape?

Or was it actually well done in the manga?

It didn't involve rape, but it wasn't well done either.

And I say that as someone that likes the manga. The way the conflict plays out straight up betrays what character development everyone involved got.

 

[Korigama]

Nice job saving that lady, Shinichi.

 

[Shard]

Well, don't stop recording there detective.

 

[Soulflarz]

Sinichi you fucking suck at your job.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Parasytes are getting smarter. Dude played the sleezeball perfectly.

 

[Man God]

Son of a bitch.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Oh my god. This is brilliant!
