Ooooooooh please let M&H pick up in quality now that we're on the final episodes.

 

[BatDan]

SLICKED BACK HAIR?

WE AIZEN NAO

Removed the glasses, slicked back hair

I'd say Kubo ripped this off, but Shinichi didn't have glasses in the manga.

Fine, I'll just stick to Kubo ripping of Yu Yu Hakusho

 

[Htown]

I guess the Sentai Harem Hour is over for this week

 

[Raxus]

What's with the new do?

It's actually his do from the original manga. They took some liberties 'pretransformation' Shinichi.

Sentai is channeling Twilight fandom levels of WHY.

 

[RagnarokX]

also, idk if you guys know but parasyte is a pretty big inspiration for resident evil 4

So John Carpenter's The Thing -> Parasyte -> Final Fantasy 7 -> Resident Evil 4

 

[Regiruler]

This is a strange commercial

 

[zedreamcast]

The other girl clearly has an affinity for sensing people of migi's kind.

I more meant about the shoujo mist that appeared around her when she sensed shinichi. Like why do all these chicks want his dick????

Why does Sentai exist

Sentai. Stop.

Stahp.

 

[UltraGunner]

It's hard to not look like a douchebag with that 80s slicked back hair

 

[Moaradin]

lol you're gonna love another scene involving that character later on

 

[B-Dubs]

I don't understand why this dub is such a big improvement from Sentai's usual efforts. That sentai quality shines through every once in a while, but it's actually decent for the most part. Maybe it's because this show has more talented VO? A lot of the characters in this show are voiced by actors who worked with Funimation before.

The cast is generally awesome, basically the VO work is good despite Sentai's best efforts. I feel like it could be top tier if someone decent had directed it instead.

 

[Zonic]

no seriously, ever since he had to drop the nerd part, shinichi's VA has gotten alot more natural sounding, this is exactly what I thought would happen.

I was thinking the same thing. I had to wait to say anything not to spoil/hint anything. This episode seemed like one that showcased some of the better line reads we can get out of Sentai. Uda & his parasyte in particular were rather good.

 

[Crocodile]

Also, as far as I remember Uda

Spoiler

doesn't ever appear in the story again.

That's the last time we see him.

This is wrong

Spoiler

He shows up again in the arc with the private detective. I think he shows up another time too but I might be wrong on that part. Either, that's not the last time we see him though he doesn't play THAT big a role in the narrative moving forward.

 

[kewlmyc]

Yea, the writing surrounding the females of Parasyte is problematic.

One of my problems with this series. You can tell it was written in the 80s. Other than the parasyte teacher and Shinichi's mom, all the women in this show are terrible.

 

[Grexeno]

It's hard to not look like a douchebag with that 80s slicked back hair

Well he was designed in the 80s so

 

[foxuzamaki]

incorrect actually

teenage hormones, dude.

I wonder if when Akame Ga Kill was dubbed they just wanted something quick and dirty for a disc release, and knowing that Parasyte was going on TV they put more effort/budget into it.

Also, Parasyte being dubbed after Akame Ga Kill might simply show in experience.

Additionally, a smaller number of prominent characters in Parasyte may mean less chance for poor casting.

That's flimsy speculation but I dunno.

 

[Hellwarden]

Ah, I was wrong.

Uda

Spoiler

does appear again.

But is still terribly underused.

 

[zedreamcast]

So John Carpenter's The Thing -> Parasyte -> Final Fantasy 7 -> Resident Evil 4

Wait where does FF7 fit in?

Also

3 more episodes including this!

 

[Shard]

Parastye also was aping the American horror genre of the time, which explains a lot.

 

[lazybones18]

Can we see Hiroshi now?

 

[Crocodile]

Why does Sentai exist

To license the shows we love and give them terrible dubs

 

[Raxus]

Yea, the writing surrounding the females of Parasyte is problematic.

It is one of the things that makes Parasyte show its age. To be fair though female writing in general could use improvement across the board in all forms of entertainment.

 

[UltraGunner]

We still don't know what's replacing this show huh?

 

[Regiruler]

I never understood why there are a bunch of random women in M&H's opening

 

[Grexeno]

I think the Michiko & Hatchin opening is the best one this year

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Is next month gonna be all marathons?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Hatchin got kidnapped.....again.

 

[Man God]

Sentai has been messing up dubs for years now and it starts with the too literal scripts.

 

[Raxus]

JoJo.

Spoiler

Help me will it into existence.

This song is pretty hot.

 

[Grexeno]

Is next month gonna be all marathons?

2 of them

 

[Zonic]

omg this song has no damn rhythm. I would hate to play this in a rhythm game.

 

[Shard]

At the very least we have the Michiko and Hatchin soundtrack.

 

[grandjedi6]

Hatchin still needs an adult like usual

 

[RagnarokX]

Wait where does FF7 fit in?

Also

3 more episodes including this!

It was just also obviously inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing and I felt like adding it for fun.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Why does Sentai exist

Someone had to replace 4kids.

 

[BatDan]

I thought Satoshi was sober now?

Oh, "hysteria". Uh huh

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Is Satoshi doing a jig?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Dat not-so-metaphorical fork in the road.

 

[Hellwarden]

This guy seems well adjusted.

 

[zedreamcast]

It was just also obviously inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing and I felt like adding it for fun.

Really? Where? With Jenova?

 

[foxuzamaki]

so the show is gonna work on humanzing satoshi

 

[BatDan]

"Wife offered up quite the spread" Daaamn going in hard

 

[UltraGunner]

Damn, I want a show about Satoshi's rise to power

 

[Regiruler]

so the show is gonna work on humanzing satoshi

If that's the case it's doing a really bad job

 

[Raxus]

Yeah, Hatchin is with this psychopath.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Satoshi 2 cold blooded
