----------------------------------------
Blue short woman... is she never appear in the main story? She's afraid of dangers from strangers, and got blamed for suggesting old man to see doctor and died. This episode mainly follows that woman seeing her family dead one by one.

Wow, she's like in the background when everything's gone and became crazy!

At lease the doctor (one of main characters) appeared.

She doesn't have a main role, but she gets a chapter like this in the manga.

maeda motoko one of my favorite characters of the shiki story

a meek housewife who degenrates into a psycopath after watching her family die one by one (and the character who holds the most sympathy for me) and becomes a deadly force of destruction that consumes all

she is in various episodes

did they keep the scene where she kneels in front of the castle and says

So we won't get to see Natsuno save his friends?

Sadly but no. Other than Kaori and her brother, Natsuno has no interest in saving anyone else. He dislikes the villagers, as he has said that he does not relate to either humans or shiki, and merely coexists with Ozaki, due to shared interest in eliminating the shiki.

Considering his fathe'sr cameo in the anime's end and his help to Natsuno defeating Tatsumi in the manga, Natsuno probably also helped his father survive and endure the extermination in the village.

Is it subbed?

Motoko is one of my favourite characters too. My favourite chapters of the manga are the Motoko ones, so I'm so happy this special is about her.
She's probably the most violent of all the humans in the series tbh LOL even though she's not in it heaps.

She's in about 2 scenes of the main anime, I think. Just a shot of her and her dead kids.

@J_Electronica: it's not subbed yet. I think it only came out recently.

Motoko was really crazy. Then again, I really love how this series shows the madness of humans. Not only vampires can go mad, humans can as much ~

Actually, I kinda had hoped it would be about the aftermath of the fire. Then again, I guess this is enough suffocate, since the anime didn't had the time to cover her and fire.

Now I need to read the mange for what things I've missed *___*

^
I think she had pretty good reason for going insane

anyway i was annoyed when they left out motoko's story in the anime but now it makes sense as they basically went back to the beginning and retold the story from a side character view of it rather then a "main" character

farewell my dear firestarter (they really should have shown what actually happened to her father in law in the manga they do)

Well, I pretty much can understand why she ended up like the way she did. She's awesome in way though :'D

This was ugly. Very very much ugly. Ugh.
Manga version was not quite as awful as this and what was, did not seem as ugly in black white.

Kuso jiji.

I really liked the transformation from worried mom to insane broken woman. I have to say though, her kid sitting in her lap decomposing was a bit... well, creepy.

Well, I think they got the intensity levels up there pretty good...

Oh, humans. People breaking down ain't all that unusual in this day and age, but breaking down as much as they do here sure is quite an interesting watch.
Not quite as intense as 20.5, but yeah, still pretty neat.

that was actually quite epic except i thought that after a while the peops who got bitten once or twice (in this case her son) could come back as human beings after a while if the shiki stopped feeding from them; how come she just let him rot like that ._.;
so the mysterious fire was cuz of her =I i didnt like how motoko told the peops about kanami's mom though =_= what did she ever do to you D:
the end when she started getting burned in the fire scared the freak out of me O_O

hmm not really what i expected but still really interensting.

im very disappointed. It was suppose to show Natsuno saving Kaori like in the manga T_T

Anyway, still, it was a good ep.

Exactly what I was hoping from at least one of the episodes of the Special.

Derp, I guess it wasn't bad. It was interesting to see the perspectives of some of the characters who only really had a cameo. Guess I'll have to look into the manga later.

I am mainly pissed that Mototko screwed over Kanami. I thought it was kind of sweet how Kanami was willing to help her mom any way she could, and how the mom didn't want to become a monster (and how she didn't succumb to her urges like everyone else).

And GROSS when the kid decomposed in her arms lol.

The only disappointment I have is that I really wanted to see Natsuno saving Akira and Kaori. But oh well.

Great episode, don't get me wrong, but I was really hoping it would explain how Akira survived
BUT WHATEVER
it's okay because I was wondering what the origin of the fire was, anyway
