| Well that was certainly something else. It's kind of sad to see the humans turn on each other like that, and I can see where it's coming from but it's really too bad that they didn't know that the shiki had to bite them multiple times to kill them. Still, I think it had a lot of realistic qualities, if something like this were to happen then I can imagine that trust could be easily shattered. Derp, I was hoping to see more of the main characters though, or maybe even seeing scenes that were sort of left out from the main series and left for inference. I dunno, still more or less looking forward to the last special. xD |
 |
| People seem to be doing what is necessary to survive but they are loosing them self at the same time. They no longer thin straight and start killing people just because they where bitten. Nao reflection on her actions was rather interesting. It was really messed up how they just tied them up and let them burn rather than killing them properly. Not sure if Nao smiles because she felt she deserves to die or because she is glad someone took pity on her. |
| huh? |
| Which is out so far? is it 20.5? |
| Great episode even they're all just side characters. It really portrayed the dark side of human nature. |
| Delicious Itou Miki voice, I need moar. <3 Well, fuck you too humans. Fuck you for killing those poor vampires and my Nao that was voiced by my Itou Miki. Seriously, it was so sad. ;_; I felt so sorry for Nao. I'm glad that the one dude started stabbing the vampires that were slowly burning to death. It's a lot faster and less painful I think for them. 5/5 |
 |
| I would not have believed that I would some day cry while watching Shiki again...but this ep was just so sad and cruel. I think I'm gonna cry alot more in the next episode according to the preview. ;____; |
| So... I was just wondering: who are the real monsters again? A very heavy episode. But something we had seen before, and the end of the main series. Humans are scary. |
| eat or be eaten... it's as simple as that. |
 |
| Wait, they were actually weak against crosses and stuff? Well, humans. Like always, humans are probably one of the most vicious beasts on earth. It can't be helped, really. Oh and also, Nao ;_____________________; |
| 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. |
| It's not that simple anymore. The humans turned into demons long ago. At least Hasegawa put some of the shikis out of their pain. What humans did isn't for surviving, that was pure sadism. Poor human who died by the hands of his own 'comrades'. If we continue to act without wanting to acknowledge the truth, continue to acting on stupid emotions such as revenge, we're not going antwhere. We're still the same old animals. |
| Wow; that was just scary,insane, inhumane and beastly. Sort of left me speechless and overwhelmed, just like the anime did. Paranoia is one dangerous emotion *shivers* This is what you call a special. People should watch and learn. And the special gets a 10 for now. |
 |
| Wow fantastic episode. I remember how much I missed this series now. The okiagaris' point of view at the end of the series definitely isn't the happiest. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I don´t feel bad for Nao...the bish killed off her whole family and also kicked fellow vampire to face and almost scalped another fellow vampire´s ass(ha:)) so she can survive...As Sirius Black would say:"You should have died! Died rather than betray your friends, as we would have done for you!" Seriously,i know not everyone can be Ritsuko...but... Anyway,that was pretty disgusting how they killed the guys just because they were bitten:/ This episode was pretty amazing...i totally miss watching Shiki. |
| That was really brutal. I completely support humans though. After all each and every shiki there chose their own lives before the lives of their friends and family, just like that boy said to Nao "If you didn't kill them, then you would've died." I don't understand how can a mother choose to kill her own child in order to satisfy her hunger. I just cannot feel sorry for them. What I didn't like was the crudeness of the men when they tied up the shikis and left them on the sun to die slowly. That is just too cruel. I liked the new couple, they seemed like nice people. |
 |
| nao got what she deserved and i love how they show all the humans who were originally the victims turn all crazy and ruthless...just more shiki goodness...i wish this show continues 4ever |
 |
| Forgot how good this show is. Definitely gotta re-watch when all the BDs are out. |

Nao looked crazy-maniacal the whole series (Stalked the doctor...etc) and didn't seem like she was conflicted... whatever. It was brutal to watch, but they did what they did to survive. I don't endorse some of the torture, but if they don't kill the shiki, the humans are next. Kinda angered me during the series that we didn't see any feelings/humanity left in the Shiki (All they did was scare people, sneak around, and kill/feed - other than Tohru), and then at the end we're supposed to feel conflicted because all of a sudden they feel scared. Either way, good show. Go Humans. |
  |
| Those poor, cute vampires. T_T |
| This just blew my mind. Amazing. Most powerful episode I've seen in a long time... I didn't even know what to think half the time, it was sick. Almost started crying near the end. |
 |
| This left me speechless. i cant help but feel sympathy toward the Shiki. this was a really sad episode. definitely one of the best specials ive ever seen. but it was nice to see an episode of one of my favorite horror anime again. cant wait for the next one. |

| i forgot how depressing this show is, my body was not ready ;-; but finally saw a human i can have a shread of respect for. |
| An extremely emotionally powerful episode, even better than the tv episodes, IMO, I remembered how Berserk last 2 episodes shook me the same way as this episode. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| Well I WAS going to go to sleep... |
 |
| God I missed this show so much. The humans pretty much turned into the shiki themselves, if not worse. |
 |
| Wow... That was a rather great episode. |
 |
| Oh how I love the bone chilling music here. Missed it so much. Simply amazing. And dem killings. Just...I'm speechless. Breathtaking episode. But where are the main characters? And the characters hear sound familiar even though they only just appeared here. Any idea who are the seiyuus? I definitely heard Kakihara Tetsuya. Nao ;____; |
 |
| I think Dean Winchester said it best. "I'll say it again. Demons I get, people are crazy.... " |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |

| Oh man this ova reminded me how epic and horrible are these series >.< |
| It was hard to watch the humans kill the other humans. Getting bitten doesn't make you a Shiki, and no one would even test the theory. They just killed. As for Nao, it would hurt so bad being stabbed with a rusty pipe like that, dragged along a sewer, then left to burn in the sun. I am glad Hasegawa put most of the Shiki out of their misery. I feel bad for Nao in that she just wanted a happy peaceful life, but ended up getting a terrible one. She probably thought her family would rise when she killed them, and that they could live together again as Shiki. |
| Good special. There's substance and not just about killing. Emotions and flashbacks were done really well in invoking viewers' understanding of the charas and the story. Here, we also got to see how cruel human can be to save themselves. Even though having no more stakes to use against the shikis, slow death under sun is sure cruel. I like the couples from the cafe. The husband killed the shiki from further torture. |
GarLogan78 said: I feel bad for Nao in that she just wanted a happy peaceful life, but ended up getting a terrible one. She probably thought her family would rise when she killed them, and that they could live together again as Shiki. In the manga Nao even admitted that she was a cruel murderer. she willingly followed Sunako's orders to attack the villagers during the blitzkrieg. She also killed her sister-in-law out of spite that she still had a warm husband... |
| wow this was pretty gruesome, i feel bad for nearly every one in this story, because no one is left un hurt whether it is by memories, or by actual death. |

She wasn't doing it to satisfy her hunger. She was doing it so that they would become like her. She wanted to be with her family which was impossible since she was a Shiki and they weren't. Yet, none of them asked for that, did they? She had no right. |
|
| Oh it's this creepy and heart-wrenching(no pun intended) anime again. Perfect for the summer! I find it creepy when the humans are humming a song while they were killing shiki. Can't wait for the second episode! |
| This episode reminded me just how awesome shiki is... and cruel.. Perhaps it was sad but i started laughing when the humans started killing eachother , the irony was just too big. |
