Oh, new OP, awesome. Which is many times better than the first one btw.
Though the first one did actually fit the creepy theme of the anime by sounding pretty creepy too.
Other than that, lolNatsuno'sfather.

No.

And this too for good measure.

Anyway, this episode felt alot more focused than the others, maybe that is just because i was watching it after the break but the story seems to be developing alot better.

I didn't really care for the Natsuno/Tohru pairing at first but I was recently looking up Shiki pictures and there were so many of those two that it's impossible to not love them together.

They're all stupid and/or plain stubborn. If Natsuno was intending to fight them in the first place (preparing those crosses and wooden stake and hammer) then he would have known that he'd face off against his dead friend. But instead he choose to give it all up for the sake of someone he cared about...even though he kills people. Natsuno had the chance to fight back even after being attacked once, and he threw it away...quite literally. I don't care if they are friends/family/loved ones...if they're dead, they're dead, and need to stay dead...especially if they're the ones killing people in the first place. If that happened to me, not matter what my feelings are towards them, I'd be whipping out the charms, arrows, crosses, and wooden stakes...and if possible, get my hands on some holy water.

Akira and Kaori are stupid for not adhering Natsuno's warning to leave, because there's not much they can do with everyone being stuck up pricks with shit for brains.

...especially Natsuno's father...he's the most narrow minded person of all. People are dieing left and right, and the two things that could be happening is either a more scientific epidemic, or superstitious okiagari: if it was an epidemic, with the spread being most likely airborne, why leave the !@#$ing window open!? even someone with HIV/AIDs can die from a common cold...and not sending Natsuno to a larger hospital despite his objections. If it was the okiagari (more precisely shiki) then it'd explain everything, but he didn't want to even play it safe by putting out the agnostic card. Even after seeing what has happened like all their symptoms to the previous people that died that's happening to Natsuno, his father does nothing expect being a prick by lying the honest kids (who looked nothing like that pale creepy little girl) and throw away their stuff...I rather have someone who'd be an honest ass to me than be two-faced and take my gift only to throw it away.

Could you really do that? I mean, imagine someone precious to you (for ex. your mother) going all strange and all... you know that this person is a vampire, but now imagine yourself killing it with a wooden stake. And it's not even like shooting someone, if you wanna go through the chest, you have to use a lot of force. I think normal human being, that is not under extremal cicustances (ok, you're gettin attacked by a vampire, but not tortured or so, it's a different level of threathen, this can't give you a boody rampage) would be anxious about doing this to even some stranger, not mentioning anyone closer.
Even if you don't agree, the way Natsuno is behaving is his character. He's kind of eccentric and very introvertic, but also just too kind. He has his own ways, too, so sometimes he seems to be cold and angry on everythig, but I think it's just what his conscience tells him to do. Plus, Tooru is the only person he made friends with, someone precious, maybe even more than his family (he doesen't seem to be close to his mother and father much).

I agree with you.I don't like cold characters but Natsuno is the first I like.Because he just isn't like he acts he is.He is a really good person.And he send Akira and Kaori home because he cared about them.He didn't want them to turn into vampires.And he didn't give up,he just didn't want to hurt Tohru.He is his only friend.Even if he is "death" he is still there,and he is the same Tohru as he was before.And Tohru didn't allow Megumi to bite Natsuno,I think if I was on Tohru's place I would do the same.With this he showed that shiki's are still human,they have feelings.And even if Natsuno turns into one of them.I think he still will continue to fight them.

I didn't like the new AMV, since the anime is like suspense genre, the 1st AMV fit this - much creepier. I think that Susano kid bit her mom. His dad I think was persuade that the disease was just a joke by Mr. Kirishiki when they met while he was walking his dogs..

AMV? I think you mean either the OP or ED (the opening/ending)? "AMV" is a term typically applied to fanvids.

Now what, everyone is turning into corpse now? Are they serious to let us watch all of them die towards the end of the show, without much revolt against that K family? I was hoping Natsuno will be the one, or at least even after he rise again....but then again, it will be futile with the hunger for blood.

I sure hope he'll turn into one of those elite vampires that can live in the sunshine too (like Tatsumi). That would kick ass.

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.

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?

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?

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 ;_;

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?

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?
