A mix of everything unsettling. Creepy little Japanese preschooler? Check. Angry ventriloquist girl with a puppet? Check. Creepy Japanese doll with disturbing teeth? Check. Natsuno’s family is screwed! Probably not, but his mother really fucked them over by letting that creepy little thing into the house.

This scene can be deemed creepy and disgusting in any context. Just when I thought his face couldn’t get any creepier, Masao just had to become a vampire. I knew it was too early to rejoice about him getting bitten — I saw this coming.

Finally, our two main characters are slowly beginning to realize the true plague causing the deaths in the village. Unfortunately for Natsuno, crosses probably won’t do a thing against Shiki’s variation of vampires. That would be way too easy.

We all know by now that episode previews usually spoil the crap out of us. Case in point: During last episode’s cliffhanger, I thought Tohru was going to die. At the start of this episode, it […]

A great opening episode that hopefully sets the atmosphere of creepiness and mystery for the rest of the series. The village setting reminded me a little bit of Higurashi. (Yeah, looks like Shiki and Ookami-san are gonna receive the Chinese subtitle treatment for the rest of my blogging season…)

Pretty much all the confirmed shows I’m going to blog until the next batch of shows stick their ugly heads in. I’m probably going to watch one or two more shows in addition to the ones I’m going to blog. However, I’m too much of a wimp to blog that many shows. That, and I have […]
