FullMetalRain said: Hi, I just finished Shiki and for the most part I loved it, but I was wondering if anybody else felt like a lot of stuff such as characters or moments could have done without during the show or felt that the ending wasn't right. I don't remember thinking the ending was like that at all, I must have been pretty satisfied with the way it ended, or it was just average. As I remember, the character development was decent, but could have been improved, yes. |
| I pretty much loved it due to its escalating insanity but the moral struggle was really unbalanced and even though the series tried to paint the Shikis as sympathetic, most of them, especially the originals, were unlikable. I'm still confused on why the priest guy saved the girl. |
| I think the point of the show was experimenting how various people react to unnatural changes in their community, so their stories are redundant beyond establishing personalities. |
| ^Well it's often hard to tell what exactly you'll be in for when you start a show. The massive and underdeveloped cast list may be attributable to the fact that the story was originally a novel. |
| I didn't care for this show throughout. |
| Shiki was great tbh. |

| I loved the ending. Everbody sucks. |
| It started strong but it kept getting worse and worse. |
| I didn't like this anime. Too boring. I watched the first 18 episodes and the show still failed to interest me..I think I gave it enough eps |

FullMetalRain said: You would like to change higly philosophical anime into some crazy mindless action?Yea I get what you guys are saying, but did any of you else think before you started watching this that there maybe was going to be some crazy girlfriend mirai nikki stuff with vampires that didn't suck? I'm still bummed even though I did like the story...it was the complete opposite of what I had expected. Hell no. |

| If you liked Shiki you might also like counting floor tiles. You could literally watch 4 episodes of the series and not miss out on any of the story. It boggles my mind that so many people actually thought it was good. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |

FullMetalRain said: The more I discuss Shiki...the more I begin to think of how awful it was. But you have to admit it does bring up a good discussion on what was right and wrong and morality, it's like death note in many ways with its rights and wrongs morality and stuff like that get where I'm coming from |

I hope you can agree that Baccano!'s art is more realistic than Lucky Stars. Shiki could have made it's art more realistic by making the faces less pointy and normalizing the hair colors. |

Animefreak17a said: I think he means something like death notes art am I right Yes Death Note's art style would have been better |

| As for me it's too casual, orginal art is more satisfacting than watching same style all the time. |

I'm explain in death note there's two sides isn't there 1 is that evil people should die which some fans agree on what light was trying to do The second 2 is that killing is wrong no matter what and no one deserves to die Your seen the posts for that. In shiki you have humans killing shiki and shiki drinking blood from humans in order to live. You ether side with the humans and see the shiki as evil and the monk is a idiot for joining them Or Your on the shikis side seeing them as the victims of the series and see how humans are more monster It depends on why you side with ether one or not. Some people don't choose a side and say everyone in the series is a victim and stuff like that you know |
