Shiki: Corpse Demon

[Buffalobiian]

Sunako's reaction was exactly what I was hoping for. Her calm leadership cracked (ever so slightly) when Chizuru died. For once, she ordered them to kill (not to feed), though both actions ultimately are for their survival anyway.

Her vampirism being ther most developed leading to her forced sleep during daylight hours was a bit inconsistent. I remember her looking out the window that time when the entire village rocked up to the Kirishhiki's house and Ozaki checked the main guy's pulse.

[RyougaZell]

I think the window was the screw up here. Remember this is based on a light novel.

The townspeople have gone mad. Wow.

Do you have links to the first op and end Bill?

The townspeople have gone mad. Wow.

Yeah. It really goes to show that when the entire group (eg Shiki or humans) adopt an ideology as correct and embrace it, the way it can go unquestioned is scary.

That and killing the other race in the interest of self preservation is not wrong (at least when you yourself are involved).

Do you have links to the first op and end Bill?

Sure. I assumed I posted them for some reason.

Umee - Episode 22

[Inazuma]

This is flat out awesome. Though I will not tolerate at this point a Shiki sided happy ending.

Happy new year

[RyougaZell]

From beginning to end the series was awesome. Though I can't help but feel that the final episode was rushed.

Not only they killed the remaining Shiki too fast in order to finish the plot... Shimizu died to easy after being around for so long. The coward guy we didn't even see how he died.

And for werewolves to be so powerful... they all fell to easy. What was the point of the Kirishiki human to kill the werewolf girl and only kill himself among the fire? Who started the fire to being with?

Did Muroi become a werewolf? Did we really need for him and Sunako to escape? I expected for her to die on the flames by her own will as she had lost everyone already.

What is the outcome of the fire? The town dissapeared and all... but everyone who survived was covered in blood... how do they explain that to the firefighters?

I still think the series was awesome... but I don't think the un-aired episodes will explain any of this since it seem they are middle episodes that were cut out. Probably just episodes explaining how Natsuno's friends escaped and how the coward shiki died.

I don't think they were easy to kill. Tatsumi got nailed plenty of times before finally dying. You've got to be Alucard to survive a TNT explosion. Kirishiki guy was waiting for werewolves to pass so he could shoot them under Natsuno's command. I've heard that Natsuno started the fire, but I'm not sure if it's a guess or a spoiler. Perhaps the extra episode will show. If so, that'll explain why the Kirishiki died in the fire though - if he was given a prior order to.

I've wondered at whether a person's hypnotism is lifted if their controller dies. Back in that scene where the Kirishiki kills the wolf-girl, the guy she hypnotised keeps walking at the same pace despite her dying. He didn't snap out of a trans or anything.

Did Muroi become a werewolf? Did we really need for him and Sunako to escape? I expected for her to die on the flames by her own will as she had lost everyone already.

I guess he did. I think it would have been more conclusive if he and Sunako died.

[RyougaZell]

I guess you are guessing the Kirishiki guy got orders from Natsuno since we never saw it. A scene from the un-aired episodes?

I would have preferred more scenes of werewolf girl though

[shinta|hikari]

I don't want Sunako to die, for obvious reasons. I wanted the priest to die a horrible death though, but I can't blame him for going so far for a loli shiki.

After the Kirishiki guy shot the werewolf girl, he rechambered a new round. During that, his right arm's sleeve fell back a bit, and you could see two fang holes in him. His last scene prior to this was in his fight against Natsuno, during which he told Natsuno that he was human.

I filled the gaps.

[LunaticCat]

I filled the gaps.

And you did it correct, i think.

Anyway, great anime. I really liked the "twist" when the villagers had gone mad. It was like "who are the evil guys now?". Really good.
But I think you guys are right if you say the last episode was rushed.

[oyabun]

I'm pissed that the monk survive. He even became a jinrou. That cowardly guy might have survive. I felt bad for megumi, she didn't even see Natsuno. Dying without ever knowing that he was alive..

[Buffalobiian]

Yeah. I always thought he would be the one to kill her.

[RyougaZell]

Megumi's death was pathetic really. It would have been better to be killed by Natsuno... seeing how much she annoyed him. I would have like for her to interfere between Natsuno and werewolf guy (forgot the name) and get killed in the process.

It was a fantastic series with a weak end.

[Uchiha Barles]

Just began watching this two days ago, and now I'm done, it's great when something this awesome slips your radar long enough for it to finish and then you catch on right as it's still fresh yet done xD.

I'm actually quite satisfied with everything that happened. The rather "boring" or "mundane" or "disappointing" ways a lot of the characters happened to be taken out was fantastic. It just puts emphasis on the "steeped in reality" theme that was prevalent during the show. I fucking *hated* megumi, and her death pleased me. She was sooooo close, yet sooooo far from making it out. It's like "omg I'm almos..." *yoink* And no, she never got to even realize her crush was alive, and no, she didn't put up that great of a fight, and yes, she suffered greatly as she died. I think that covers all the checkpoints I had on my list of things I wanted to happen to her. *nods*

That hypocritical priest though...I'm not sure how I feel about him. Yeah he comes across as a hypocrite, but that's only because he wasn't sure of how he felt to begin with, and thus his stance on things could not be clearly communicated to viewer. He was basically just a conflicted character who has come to some kind of resolution, one that's in line with his instinct...meh...I don't like him.

I'm pretty glad some shiki survived. It leaves the possibility in your mind that the world as it was presented in anime will continue, and it's a twisted, interesting world.

[Buffalobiian]

I couldn't make too much sense of the priest's story. It's meant to reflect his character, but I don't feel the click that you get when two pieces in the plot fall together. Either I'm not understanding it fully, or it was a pretty "meh" link to begin with.

[fireheart]

Is there a batch torrent out for the show? Tried looking but only found a raw one.
