    Yeah, very intense episode, even though there was hardly any action…. The Geisha doll and majorly that girl freaked me out to be frank,(not as much as I have hoped either…) is this show getting in the pure Japanese horror-movie direction??.. I wouldn’t mind though….
    I agree with you about Akira. He’s a bit harsh sometimes, so that may lead to a quite bad events in the future. Let’s just hope, Natsuno will be right there to cool him down in the right moment. Speaking of which, I think Natsuno will have his boiling point but I’m sure that he’ll overcome that. They showed him as a very strong person so far. But oh man, what will happen when he’ll meet that girl?.. oh, I hate cliffhangers!!!! ><""""
    And I'm aching to know something about Muroi too. So far they revealed pretty much about his personality or even something that you my call spirit, but hardly any facts about his life that would lead us to the conclusion "why is he so depressed all the time?what is hurting him?" and the connection between him and Sunako is something that I've come to adore. And now I believe it's HIM and Sunako in the opening, when the 2 profiles are just about to kiss.
    Oh, I can't wait to see more of Shiki!!!

      The intensity came from all the plot progression going on~ YAY PROGRESSION! I have no idea what Japanese horror movies are like lol, as long as it’s scary, I’m game.

      Yes, luckily Akira clings to Natsuno so he should always be there to control him. He’s like a puppy…lol. Natsuno is a verrrry strong person, but a teenage boy can only take so much. O.O I probably would’ve gone crazy by now if I were him XD

      Essentially, we know nothing concrete about Muroi…just tidbits about how depressed and “forsaken” he is. I guess they’re teasing so much because he must have some big role. Dunno about him being one of the two profiles kissing, but it’s possible?

      NEXT EPISODE, DO WANT.

    Why does Natsuno’s mum call his dad “Yuuki”. What is she; a bad shoujo character? Only the week girls in the relationship with the top-of-the-line guys still call them by their last name, even after they share that same name. And yes, that is the thing that left the most impression on me after this episode.

        Ano… just to point out, Natsuno’s parents’ names are Yuuki Koide and Azusa Koide. I’m not sure why Natsuno’s name is not Natsuno Koide rather Natsuno Yuuki but his mom was definitely calling the dad by his first name. xD

    Did anyone see the end credits, towards the end? It looks like a preview of some sort. Shiki is going to get better from the looks of things.

      Just saw it now…Thanks for pointing it out, I missed it before. ^^ Ara~ it looks really promising too. I don’t think it’s a preview for next episode, but just the future of the series in general. But if that’s for the next episode, it’s going to be the best next episode ever. =D

    who’s that hot guy who got hit by the shovel? me likey! i didn’t see tohru in that all-vamps-are-here scene. you know, that scene in blue where the vamps suddenly start posing. i only saw masao and his ugly face. GET HIM OUT OF MY SCREEN!!! he just practically ruined that scene.

      Ahahaha, your comment made my day XD That guy was rather good-looking for a random, filler character, kekeke.

      I know the scene you’re talking about, i have the screencap in my post. I was worried by not seeing him there too but..there’s no way that can be true…I demand more Tohru…That’s just an image from their speculation, so I’m hoping they just missed Tohru. Then again, that’s just my own wishful thinking *sigh*
      …What makes it worse is that Masao is FRONT ROW CENTRE IN THAT PICTURE.

          How does one die whilst gambling? Horrible slot machine accident? Why am I imagining some slot machine mecha stabbing him? Hmm…

          lol yes, the opener is useful for all the foreshadowing in it :3 Tohru~ Please come back soon~

      lol you watched it for the hair? Oh my…XDD (Admittedly, the hair in this series is pretty intense) The plot likes taking its sweet time, but yes, it’s getting there!

      I…don’t know. <_< I just think "country people are weird" whenever something odd happens, it sounds like a good thing to pin the blame on XD

    LOL yes those purple sparkles really seem to set the tone for that murder flashback. That’s just a small bit of comfort since I’m way too much of a wimp to watch this but thankfully your summaries are very thorough >.<-b

    I guess I nightmare really easily… since my dreams tonight will probably be plagued by that godforsaken geisha abomination.

    :sad5

      Kekeke yay for cheesey anime effects~ For some reason it makes me happy that this show scares people >w< Maybe I'm just weird/mean like that. Try not to have TOO many nightmares *puts a geisha doll beside your bed* 8D

      Ahhh and thanks, I'm always so paranoid that I write too much =D

    Now you know why I comment here late because I always end up watching Shiki later than you. Btw, I can at least assure you from the preview that Toshio would have loads to record from the patient he has in observation.

    Can’t wait for the next episode and whatever that geisha ventriloquist ends up doing. I just wonder, who her brother could be…

    Btw, this made me LOL: Moe for necrophiliacs?

      Keke, that’s okay. I hope there’s another preview next episode as well, then I can add a “preview” section to my posts~ 8D I’m excited for the next episode, ahhh~ I kind of assumed Shizuka’s brother wasn’t literally her brother, but just some older boy. =P If she has an equally terrifying sibling, I will be impressed.

    Anyone else think Natsuno’s dad has sexy hair? (Just watch, as soon as I hit “submit” I’ll realize that someone else did, in fact, notice this and mention it already.) XP
    The only thing I missed in this episode was Misao’s epic-ness. Seriously, he scares me more than any okiagari.
    But this was one of the best episodes so far. I’m glad the plot is starting to move forward instead of just showing people dying, but I guess that buildup is what made the more recent episodes so intense.

      Natsuno’s parents are really good-looking o.o His hair is awesome, yeah~

      lol yes, Masao was creepy even when he was alive <_<

      Yes, this episode was really good~ Definitely on par (or better) with the episode where Megumi crawled out from under Tohru's bed. I can only hope this intensity continues for a bit longer before the next stretch of building the plot up~ =D
