I guess that's it for Natsuno huh?

Whatever, this show has a good story, but HORRIBLE characters....

Agreed. The story had me at the first episode, but it just doesn't seem to able to focus on one character since they all turn into Okiagari.

Good to see show back though, despite it being a somewhat mediocre, slow pasted episode. The story however is what's making me continue to follow this.

Damn, so it's here already, almost catched up with manga. I wish they were scanlating it faster.
Anyhow, this was great. Especially the moment with Megumi killing Kaori and Akira's dad, much better than in manga.

Since the first episode, I always get the message that Sunako seems to be so different from the other vampires/Shiki but the story says otherwise like she is only just a daughter of a vampire/Shiki. And this episode pointed out something interesting at the table scene at the Kirishiki's house. My point is, why was she sitting at the head of the table and acting like the boss of the Shiki?

I always thought she was the head too. I don't even question it. Won't believe otherwise until the very end.

Well you got a good point. Maybe I should have left the idea of the parents are the head of Shiki long time ago instead of sticking with it. But if that is really the case here, then how come she is the only one who can not go under the sunlight among the original Shiki, or at least as far as we know?

It is kinda hard to say what is going on with her because there is just not enough information we can get from her.

There really isn't. But because of the loli princess thing and the way the parents seem to be red-herrings (only talking to 'food' while the little girl messes with the priest) that's what I think.

Everyone is dying and disappearing, Natsuno is at death's door, and these kids are still worrying about speaking disrespectfully to Natsuno's dad. lol

Though, I didnt think Natsuno would take everything lying down. I guess Natsuno cant resist Tohru's charm :s

Until now they´re following the manga timeline, so i guess we´ll know about Sunako´s past maybe in ep.14/15.

Natsuno´s dad should go to hell, what kind of father leaves his son like that without taking him immediately to the hospital?!Even if it was an epidemic, for god´s sake, after all people who died, was it so hard to take him to a Dr? I wish they had bitten his dad instead of his mom, i bet she wouldn't act like him. poor mom ;_;

Love the new opening song! So happy it's back on after leaving us like that.

I didn't think they'd get to Natsuno so early on. And what is up with his mother?

Maybe the doc will come up with a new concoction to stave off the hunger so everyone can live together.

So wrong, so wrong...Why did I ever watch American Pie? The only thing that came to my mind at the Natsuno/Tohru "suck my blood" scene was Casanova's "suck me, beautiful" XD
Also, seriously, LOL at translator notes. They weren't deleted, so I got bonus lulpoints from things like:
"Wait, something's not right... {HMM I WONDER.}
That's right. She died! {...Now it clicks.}"

Agreement with this.
And. The. Hell. Is. Natsuno's dad thinking? I mean he threw away the sacred shit; also his wife seemed to have 'that' too!
HE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.

-sigh-
It pains me to see Natsuno like that. It seems like the two kids, the monk and the doctor may be the only ones alive?
I'm not sure. . . .

It's hard to blame Nats' father because he didn't see anything we the watchers/readers see. Of course he would have his doubts. He didn't see Nats' bite wounds either. And if he did, he would've brushed it off like Ozaki in the first place. And also, remember that Ozaki only arrived at the conviction that shikis exist after seeing many, many cases in which his patients who have died bore the same marked wounds and exhibit the same results in blood tests. Nats' father was close to suspecting the shikis, but his wife, who was already a victim, was probably hypnotised to lower his suspicions. Seishirou also played on the "aren't you a city dweller? shouldn't you be more rational than the rest of the village?" card. About bringing Nats to the hospital, well he already thought about it. He talked to his wife aka NAT'S MOM, but she told him not to worry and that an epidemic is unlikely, that Nats was just tired.

I love the new opening theme. The ending was meh.

I've hated Natsuno for a few episodes now, He's so stupid. He keeps saying how he's not going to give up or die and is going to leave the village, but then he keps willingly going out at night and letting himself get bit until he can't move and is barely alive...so stupid. Just stab the guy with the giant stake from inside the window...or don't but stay inside houses at night.He's retarded

I feel bad about both Natsuno and Toru. I wonder what'll happen to Natsuno though... I don't want him to become a okiagari/vampire/shiki (I don't know what I should call them anymore xD) but it seems things are heading that way. His dad is a total jerk though. Stupid guy. I agree with him that believing in superstitions is lame but not believing in them when things happen right in front of your nose is even worse. Not reasoning his disbelief in those things makes it seem like a preconception of the same level of the superstitions he hates so much! *end of the rant*

Anyway, it seems like Natsuno's mother has been bitten as well so she'll probably be dead soon. Natsuno asked his father to open the window so maybe that means he's already lost control of his actions like the other victims. I mean, I don't believe he'd want to die and I don't think he still has hope of making some kind of deal with Toru so that seems like the only explanation.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm starting to like Megumi. She's not even annoying anymore and her scenes are surprisingly amusing. I loved how she was gonna bite the dumb guy. (Come on, he says hello, talks a bit and only some seconds later realizes that... she should be dead? That was fun. Also, how he kept saying: "I wonder why they only come at night..." Not very sharp are you sir?

When the hell did Natsuno's mom get bitten? Did that creepy little puppet girl have something to do with it? Either way I think because of that and his dad's slow ability to catch on, he's double doomed. Then again, what can he do? Even if he went to the clinic it's been proven the doc can't protect him.

Cool new opening and ending! this episode was good too. i totally knew that Natsuno's dad was lying to Akira and Kaori. I have a feeling that Tasumi fanservice is about to start up. I mean, first he was in a butler's outfit, and in this episode he is in a jacket with the zipper halfway down. but whatever he is cooler and less annoying then he was before.

Ugh his dad seems like one of those annoying Super Atheist. It's fine he dosen't believe in that supernatural/religious stuff but what he's messing up at is the complete dick and stubborn attitude that won't allow his son to have those religious charms and such. But no he throws them all away instead of accepting his son' own s belief that such things will work. Jeesh these are the worst kind of adults/people

it seems Yuuki is slowly turning into a Shiki as the day passes.

i fear for Kaori and Akira since Megumi will be the one to attack them

new opening and endings were good :D

and yeah with a little nude in every character hehe :)

cannot wait for the next episode, i just had a marathon today watching ep 1-12 straight. i definitely feel tired but im okay now :D

Natsuno's dad is pissing me off with his bullshit, he's killing Natsuno with his stupid actions. Interesting that the dad of the Kanemasa family (I suck with names) knew exactly which buttons to push with Natsuno's dad, damn it. Yay for Gackt and that lovely voice though <3

Old OP is so much better, I miss it! However I love the new ED, didn't care for the last one. Both songs are made by Buck Tick so I'll have to check out their other songs too!

Dads in this anime aren't very smart. First Natsuno's dad with his reaction to the Tanaka's offer. If he's in such a contempt of superstitions, then the least he should have done was to put his son in a car and drive him to a big city hospital.

And then Mr. Tanaka...your daughters best friend dies and you forget about it after a couple of months? Or maybe he was taken in by the gothic lolita outfit?

Interesting how Natsuno's father was seriously ticking me off - as most others here, it seems. But if we're being fair, most (not all) of his reaction are actually kinda normal. Wow, things sure look a lot different if you're viewing them from a standpoint with more background information.
