Rant and Rave on Anime/Manga!

It's scary to think that people can actually be like this in real life. It seems impossible but I guess it's hard to change what people believe- especially when you are the villagers in Sotoba.

The anime didn't show much of what Toshio was thinking- except possibly towards the end, claiming that he had lost sight of what he was fighting for---> desperation and hopelessness. Most of the time, he seemed to be acting like a heartless murderer, eliminating anyone in the opposing side. It wasn't helped that Ookawa- the crazy giant guy who was their ally, wasn't prepared to forgive anyone, and didn't mind killing those who were possessed earlier with his speech on "rules" It was a bad explanation, since it wasn't explained clearly enough, and so luckily the latest manga chapter offered better insight. He hated the change in the village that took place so fast and decided to take action. Toshio did the same thing and I bet he can't forgive anyone anymore- especially Seishin.

Oh and Seishirou- the blue haired human, should have died after killing the werewolf girl? (forgot her name) Too gruesome for viewers and had to be censored?- stupid filler

Natsuno's fight with Tatsumi was lame and hopeless. At least they kinda ended with a bang....<.< Never liked Tatsumi anyway....he was sneaky. I believe he was the mastermind of it all and just acted like the servant to Sunako- she as the princess figurehead? I swear Natsuno, when he saw Tohru and Ritsuko's bodies, he felt sad for them- which reminds me of really early in the series how Tohru wanted Natsuno to ask Ritsuko to go on a drive with him because Tohru was too embarrassed.
I wanted a Natsuno and Toshio scene as well....like how he said that since he was a jinrou, Natsuno wanted to be killed by Toshio, eventually.

Best part- "I don't belong to a side. I just don't like you, the Kirishiki family."

Where was the long awaited confrontation with Seishin and Toshio?
I doubt anyone would like Seishin now...he betrayed his best friend and went with the loli.... Sunako is a lost girl who doesn't know right or wrong, true she didn't deserve to be killed by the angry Ookawa, but surely she deserves punishment for what she did to the village, was there any chance of co-existing? Everyone just thought it as black and white- with a few others as exceptions.....and then Seishin just had to turn jinrou right at the last minute...@.@ cheater. Seishin, Seishin, Seishin...I always thought you were a half-shiki even when you said you were human. Too bad I didn't believe you.

Megumi's "shiki" death was surprisingly brutal, though she did deserve it for killing people so relentlessly. But after a few tractor rolls, I thought maybe she should be allowed to go to the big city, since that was what she always dreamed of doing.

>.< Makes me think that the Shiki show more human emotions than the humans themselves...
I dunno about the ending- with the whole village burning. Maybe divine retribution caught up to both sides and decided to clean up the remains. No, I don't think this anime has ended properly either. They need to put an explanation when the OVA comes out. The preview was nothing but at least Kaori and Akira were ok.
I'll stick with the manga's ending, better not be as butchered up as the anime.

Parting scene with Tohru and Ritsuko the nurse much sweeter than the anime. Plus I don't remember seeing a mass ambush with possessed "once-bitten/not yet turned" humans with knifes charging at Toshio's group. 0.o Still very interesting though, the "demon god giant" never ceases to amaze me... he still fought on with three or even more knives sticking in his stomach.
Can't believe the anime, they made Tohru so annoying and crazy-desperate, yuck.
Women killing with frypan as weapon= Tangled
Nah rice cooker!
