Finally got around to watching Shiki and man I am burning through it way faster than I expected considering the first two episodes left me overwhelmed constantly throwing names and occupations and family relations at me. Think I got hooked on episode 3 and just finished episode 16 and that's all within past day. At this rate I'll probably finish it tomorrow, if not tonight.

Decided to watch the series after Robazoid's write-up in his anime rankdown topic and while I recall he was considerate enough to frame it as a "supernatural medical mystery" instead of revealing plot details, it was heavily implying vampires as of the first episode and all but confirming by ep 3. But then they still kept things intriguing enough with the various storylines - I remember thinking about how they would gradually grasp the concept of vampires and then the show reveals that vampires in fiction are a thing, lol - and I remember in episode 8 thinking "how are they going to stretch this out to 22 eps (plus 2 OVA eps) if they figured it out?" but wow the next 8 eps have flown right by. Very interested in seeing how it all ends, definitely no character safe and increasingly feels a "humans/main characters lose" story right now.
