Since we don't have access to her thoughts (its not a book but a tv show ), it's hard to tell how much she knows exactly! Although, being in shock, it wouldn't be surprising if she's ignoring those details + Show Spoiler + ya, I know but I meant she thinks that's just adrenaline or at least she just agreed and moved on and didn't seem to question it as if adrenaline can make you jump that far without having broken legs (more death really but whatever lol).

This would explain (to me) how she can sense him and how migi can't sense a parasyte in her since it's not a "full" parasyte and migi is probably just overlooking the minute details. he did say that he couldn't communicate with the little bits left inside Izuma. + Show Spoiler + doubt it. I think she's just supposed to be more perceptive than the average human due to genetics or whatever the reason. I mean, if that's the case, Izuma should be as perceptive without Migi since he's got all those little bits but it's always Migi that alerts him when there are others nearby.

The symbiotic organisms they've formed are far, far superior to the lone parasites in both combat and general ability to survive. That or they're just supposed to be the top of the food chain. I do wish he'd still wear glasses because his character design looks pretty dopey without them imo. It is surprising his cold/rational side hasn't pushed him to hook up/manipulate Kana into being his parasite-sensor when Migi is asleep, but that may be coming soon. + Show Spoiler + hmm it's quite possible. A symbiotic relationship definitely yielded a stronger organism though I wouldn't say far, far superior seeing as the heart is a big weakness for humans unless you move it around like we saw parasite do. lol ya, it just looks odd. Well, he's still trying to keep it a secret so even if it feels rational from that sense, he can tell her his secret plus he'll also put her in harm's way since if he's following other parasites, they are much more likely to fight and she'll be easy prey.

Hmm, as far as the hair goes it seems I was right that it doesn't change. But maybe it DID change after a while, the girl did take it home and now she called him... We'll know next time, pretty hyped for the next episode! + Show Spoiler + Haven't watched Psycho-Pass but he certainly did a number on them lol. Well, maybe she just took it as a memento? I mean, we know she likes him so maybe it was just to check for fun at first then she kept it for later for that? We haven't been told that it'll change later though I also questioned why she kept it as well. I think she just called him because she realized that her chances with him are low and maybe she wanted to tell him Maruno's thoughts or something? Speculation on my part but she knows that she's losing the fight so far | ||

This whole season of Chaika was pretty shit compared to the first season. + Show Spoiler + It wasn't that bad though I feel we could've used another episode or two to show emperor Gaz and his full arsenal of magic. Niva just backstabbing him and going to Chaika's side was funny. I have personality! lol. Other than that, at least Chaika is still alive in the end though someone correct me if I'm wrong but she lost all her memories to power the gundo so basically, she's alive but she probably doesn't remember anything during and before that fight, right? Must be rough for Toru and Akari though she's alive and they can always make new ones anyways. | ||

So going off that she has retained everything else. | ||

I mean, he's supposed to be this 500 + year old super mage that has pushed magic far far beyond the limits everybody else knows of, but it's so fucking easy for them to beat him. I would like to point out that they never technically show him dieing or anything like that, they just say that the floating tower thing he was on disappeared....so there's technically setup for him to come back later on if they decide to do more. The only cool part in the finale was when Toru contracted with Fredricka, he became really badass. But i would also want to ask, didn't Fredricka say at some point that you have to cut off her head to kill her (and isn't that exactly what Gaz did? so why is she still alive ~_~). Also, the Niva thing was stupid. it was a very weak attempt at "friendship saves the world" and a deus ex machina element (god being Niva in this case). It was just a weak ending all around imo.

The parasytes just "are". You can't really say that the symbiotic relationship is superior though. Case in point: Tamiya Ryouko. Much of the disadvantages suffered by the parasytes are due to carelessness, hubris, or lack of social nuance. These are all correctable flaws, especially as they learn over time. Of course, humans have their own advantages, but not in a way that is immediately appreciable. This is one of the themes explored in the work. | ||

Well it went the way I thought it would but still feels really rushed. We don't know if Chaika lost all her memories or if Niva is the one that used her memories as a buffer. I was expecting something far more bittersweet like Scrapped Princess. Maybe the OVA will clue us up. Overall decent series, pacing was a bit too rushed for me to say it was really good. | ||

It still wasn't really good, but it was OK I guess. + Show Spoiler + The part with Niva made me facepalm a litte... especially when she one shot the allmighty Emperor Gaz in like 4 seconds. Oh well, I guess something like that had to happen with how few time was left. | ||

Sento so good. On December 11 2014 10:04 KazeHydra wrote: as in, the only reason she got the role is because she actually behaves like the character. The director was like "you don't need to act. Just be yourself and speak like you normally would." And then we got based Chiyo-chan. damn that's pretty cool .. no wonder her voice fits so damn well with the character | ||

A pity the studio got shafted by the publishing company. | ||
