So true lol.. that guy is the most annoying character ever.

btw I'm probably kinda late but I just found out about this! lol <3

The official website of the Shiki television anime series confirmed on Saturday that the anime's eighth and ninth Blu-ray Disc/DVD volumes will each include an unaired episode. The eighth volume will ship with Episode 21 and the unaired episode "Dai Futatō to Han wa" (a wordplay for "Episode 20.5") on May 25, 2011, while the ninth volume will ship with Episode 22 and the unaired episode "Dai Futatō-ichi to Han wa" ("Episode 21.5") on June 22.

It's been a while since I've seen a series where every episode has been better than the one before it. I am happy about this :)

Wow... episode 22 ...

Ok, let's start with the things I liked about the last episode:

1) Megumi got demolished
2) That annoying werewolf is finally dead

Thats it... yeah what? The last 10 episodes were epic... wth happened?

This ending disappointed me ... why make it an open ending when there won't be a second season ... seriously WHY? ... So they killed all shiki except Sunako, Seishin who was badly wounded apparently survived after losing so much blood and was even able to drive a car after that, hell he even killed a human to save a shiki... makes sense right? The village burned down, THE END? Great job ending an awesome show with a shitty ending >< arghr I'm so annoyed by this.

Gonna read the manga, please someone tell me it doesn't end the same freaking way there...

Well, it ended as I predicted. Don't be upset nk because this anime evolved into something very interesting in the last 10 episodes :)

Just brilliant. Completely loved this episode, heck I loved this whole series. I vote this as my fave for 2010... and Happy New Year everybody!!

My thoughts

I didn't like Megumi but wow getting her head crushed.. I know this is supposed to warp my opinion on the humans and it sorta succeeded. Was brutal. Though they are justified for fighting back somewhat, probably didn't need to stray into the realms of bloodlust. Then again I enjoyed how things got progressively more gory..

Seishin becoming a Shiki in the end. Fitting in my opinion. I wish him and Sunako all the best in their future life together.

Have to disagree with you there. I think the open ending was a perfect way to conclude the series. I don't think it needs a 2nd season. But yeh I'll go read the manga now as well.

The nobody wins ending sums up the whole series rather nicely I think.

I agree. This was one of the best endings of any recent series I can think of. Possibly the series of the season. I loved the ending. It was touching, disgusting, powerful, and awesome all at the same time.

I have to say episodes 17-22 were pretty bad ass and for sure epic. I won't forgive them for the second act. After the set up, up to where the shit hit the fan, was an extremely long and boring trek. I was fairly satisfied with the ending, even if I didn't completely understand certain motives involving a certain a Buddhist character....... dynamite man, dynamite FTW.

Great episode. Aren't there supposed to be additional eps on the DVDs?

I like how they make you question the morality of everything. Who's worse?... Humans kill each other in addition to animals/monsters/shiki, but shiki only kill humans and permit some to continue life (per-se) as Shiki.

I love stuff like that.

I also liked how they didn't/don't hold anything back in terms of what humans (and monsters) are capable of in terms of violence.

Was also very happy to see

Megumi get her face run-over :). Too bad we ever saw Masao. I was also kinda irritated Seishin lived. I think he was the worst of all of them in terms of f'ed up loyalties.

The crazy beard man deserved it though, since he was responsible for killing Seishin's parents who were innocents.

Seishin turned into a werewolf at the end so his wounds healed. That's why he was fine driving away and even fighting that big guy. I suppose that's why the main werewolf guy kept asking to drink his blood.

Must have missed that part the 1st time watching it, thanks for clearing that up. Rewatched the episode now that umee released it, I'm still not 100% satisfied though but giving it a second thought it isn't as bad as I first stated.
