Someone else watching that new anime series, too?
It's a Mystery-Action-Comedy which started a few weeks ago in Japan and looks pretty promising so far and already had a few interesting surprises in it. Has been quite a while since I've seen an interesting mystery anime.
There's more "mystery" stuff that started recently, but the other things don't really interest me. I've seen enough "... of the Dead" movies, I don't need an anime telling me the same zombie story once again.
(And thousands of zombies aren't scary to me, that's why I personally think the latest Resident Evil games are not scary at all, either. An unexpected enemy combined with great atmosphere is much more scary than knowing beforehand that there are dozens of zombies behind every corner.)
And concerning Shiki... I stopped watching it after two episodes, as literally everything is shouting:
SPOILER!!! (Highlight to read)
Vampires!
Still, the characters of the anime seem to be too dumb to notice the ten billion hints and run around waiting to be the next target.
But it's not just the dumbness, vampire stories seriously annoy me lately, as due to Twilight those kind of stories keep popping up EVERYWHERE. Movies, novels, mangas, anime and every kind of story one can imagine. Not interested. -.- _________________ "Why can't we all just get along, Sameth?"
