I thought the anime had forgotten as well. Her death happened in chapter 2 or 3 I think. Right after the father died.

If you’re wondering about any continuity issues in this episode just remember that in the manga some of the scenes were supposed to happen before the jack in the box incident and some were supposed to be longer than they were

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have watched this while eating dinner.

In the manga, each of the events had their own chapter. The hair, the snail-people, the mosquito, the lighthouse. Everything had it's own chapter. The chapter started calm, tension and creepyness built, and it was "resolved" by the end of the chapter. Here everything happens all at once and interconnected. Tension can only get so high, so without the calm between we just rush from one thing to the next, often forgetting about entire events that started earlier in the episode.

brutal to not just release the first ep as a special, frankly

Animation is irrelevant, they fucked up the story and that's the real crime

it isnt ai im sure. theyve been doing this since the first episode. rotoscoping and animating on top of it. its the reason the producers went with a different director to speed things up a bit. thats why it isnt animated fluidly like the first episode

Well this didnt look as terrible as ep. 2...but it feels like we aint never getting anything like ep. 1 back and that's just sad overall.

Apparently the first episode was so expensive that the director was sacked and the rest of the project was outsourced to an other studio that outsource it to like 8 other ones. that why it was so long to come out.

I hate being negative but man episode 3 was such a let down. As the episode progressed the animation,plot and pacing just kept getting worse. If the creators wanted to induce madness on the audience then I guess they achieved it 🫠

Hopefully she does finish it, it’s one of the first anime’s I’ve ever seen and it left a big impression on me (aka trauma)

I think I remember reading someone say this was in development for 5 years or something? If that’s true, the fact that this series is only 4 episodes and eps 2+3 had such weird quality is so sad compared to the first episode

OMG THIS EPISODE WAS CREEPY! Also does anyone know if Alicia is gonna react to parasyte?
