Derp.
Derp derp.

Good episode, but it didn't quite have the creep factor of the last one. But I suppose it's best that they don't overplay the creepiness to make it more shocking when it does come.

My god Megumi is totally a goddess.

I think if they punched Masao enough, it might fix his face.
I don't think anything can fix his running.

as expected, He died...
and, MASAO got assaulted

they had been making this show so well until this week.
but, I felt this episode was not so great, compared to Manga, and in comparison to past other episodes.
regrettably, they omitted some parts about his death.




And yeah, Masao was really funny, as he cries, mourns, and RUNS!! ROFL

Masao is the weirdest anime character I have ever seen. I still dont like Megumi...her and her obbsessive vibes.
This was an okay episode. Felt bad about Toru, but I mean its obvious hes gonna come back.

I do like what I'm seeing. : >
And I'm actually so glad Toru is dead~ : D
Though since he'll probably be back, it won't last for long.
Now, if only Masao could die a natural death instead of being bitten, I'd be really happy.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I didn't think Meddigo was actually spoiling anything, just making a prediction based on what he observed. It's not any different than anyone going "OMG vampires" after seeing Shimizu show her teeth and go after Tohru, or did you think those people were giving away spoilers as well?

Mosao is really emotionless talking that way about your nephew, getting that angry at someone on your best friends funeral, just because he wasn't crying.
He was a real creep just makes me wonder will he come back after death? And will he be even more of a creep then he already was?

Also what will happen to Natsuno after ripping that letter apart.

I'm wondering; since those who are dying have all quite their jobs before-hand (and possibly were retired), were they concenting to becoming vampires; making preparation for thire new lives?
In the oldies cases, after eternal youth, whilst the youngsters may like the glamourous lifestyle?

Poor Toru, yet I must say, his shrine was very beautiful
Shimizu needs a steak through her chest; she was annoying alive.:p

In Masao's case...
I think it's rather lazy of the writer(s) to create a loathsome character just so they can bump them off and nobody would care?
(He'll make an interesting looking vampire and would prove great villian material; being a sociopath)
(Masao's older brother got the looks in the family, this may be why he's soo bitter)

In a tiny town, with people dropping like flies, I'd move.;)

Good episode though not great, especially compared to source material and last week. This scene in the manga actually creeped me out quite a bit anime wasn't as good though.
They have forgot to include small bits though over all still great. Onto next week~

Awww, Toru. :'(

YESSS, MASAO! :')

I'm sooo happy that he's going to be the next one to die. I don't think it'll be instantly though, because it apparently takes a day or two after being bitten for them to die (like with Megumi and Toru, at least). I hope he doesn't come back. :/

But according to this show, the wackier your character design, the more important you are. Look at all of the "dead character of the day"s. Most of them have brown/black hair and regular designs. But some characters have weird hair styles and colors (Megumi, Toru, and even that one girl with the blue hair who died) and stand out from the crowd, so it's likely that they will be important. And since Masao is the wackiest of them all, he will probably be back. D=

Also going by that, the Doctor, Priest, Natsuno, the Starburst girl, the nurse with the hair that defies physics, the Starburst girl's cat-boy brother, the guy that gets punched a lot, the guy who punches that guy a lot, and the Kirishikis will all be main players.

And as soon as a new character is introduced, you can tell if they're going to be important or not just by their design. It sort of ruins the surprise though...

What a brat Masao is.


personally I think the way to piss people you don't like off would be to haunt them instead of killing them.

I'm still not totally getting the Natsuno/Megumi. I know she has a crush on him but she isn't making a move on him yet. They haven't really told us why they are main characters yet.

Also, I'm not getting the rokuyo. I usually have the wiki up so I know what it means at the time but the time in the anime isn't posted on the subs, whether it isn't actually written in Japanese or the subbers are just not doing it, I don't know. either way does anyone know why they are bothering to let us know the rokuyo

I hope he doesn't become one.....being a Shiki is just too cool for a creep like that and having fangs with a face like that is just too hard to picture.

Did they show Megumi having a job?...the priest read out her name amongst the people who left their jobs before their death.

Old man---> that is some intricately designed beard you got there XD

Masao is such a retard---> a wierd man above him,leaping out from a tree in the dead night....and he reacts like that?

The sound of little girls laughing while the shiki feeds on Masao---> A-W-E-S-O-M-E

Yay Masao is dead!

Didn't want to see Toru dead but he might return as a Shiki (imagine him with fangs!)

Everyone spoke my thoughts exactly regarding Masao. XD Nothing new to say really, including the thought that last week's epi was somewhat better. I'm really interested in the next epi though. x3

Did they show Megumi having a job?...the priest read out her name amongst the people who left their jobs before their death.


I wondered about that too..but perhaps he was thinking of all the victims in general at that point.

meh, Masao's words and attitude was really interesting...

you know, weeks before, he quarreled with Natsuno. and Natsuno said
"A youngster can die" "That's a matter of probability" "you shouldn't think you are an exception" and, Masao got upset

this time, Masao said to his family the same thing.
"even young people can die" "That's just a matter of probability" "and, you shouldn't think your family is an exception" (he may have tried to take a position of Natsuno.)
and, he got a slap and rebuked "Don't you have feelings"

and, at the funeral, he tried to be a compassionate person.
then he challenged Natsuno "You don't have feelings?" "it's cold of you to keep sulky in friend's funeral"
and then, he got reproached.

it is just himself that Masao feels pity for...
he reminds me of Twelve Kingdoms' Suzu.
though I kinda like this pitiful guy!

Yeah I've no hard feelings against Masao, he just did not know how to express himself. It's unfair to hate him for that.

Anyway, with him dying how many victims are there now? Kinda lost track! LOL

Amazing story so far, I predict that by episode 20 every villager will be dead :P

But I told y'all, didn't I?

Great soundtrack...It really helps in building up the mood.This time,I really felt the sadness and the frustration of the characters.
I really liked the part where Natsuno was ''picturing'' Megumi near Toru's body.The last part of the episode also seemed really ''appropriate''.It just fitted perfectly and felt like a nice ''ending scene'' for the episode.
Also,Masao is a great character.He's so childish and immature.Easy to praise,impossible to like...

Pity he had to die because he really a nice guy D:
The funeral was a very touching scene, especially with Natsuno wanting to see his face, and going on to say it was just an empty shell, and wishing there was a way to find him.Wonder if he will turned into vamp like Megumi?

Masao can rot in the ground though. I have no desire to see him again.

this show fails at being drama-ish.
however, it's hilarious. i want to see more blood lol..
felt like the scene was kinda censored.. is it more explicit in the manga?

I also wonder what's going on with people quitting their job and leaving the town. ;o It's good to see that there's more than just aspect to this show. Loving it. <3


I don't think he has cleared it out in his head yet wether it was a dream or not.
