Don't really care for the new OP and ED but I didn't like the old ones either the first time I listened to them. Maybe they'll grow on me.
Spoiler for Spoilers for Episode 12:
If that's true I have one thing to say: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one |

Even though this wasn't my favorite episode, yes, it does simply blow away all the new shows, enjoyable as some of them are.
I love the new ending, music and image. The new OP doesn't grab me right away, but it is definitely quality music and has a similar art style to the old one, so I have hopes my enjoyment may grow. As for having naked bishies in the ED, there's already a hint of that appeal. All the humans in the ED looked good to me. Why can't both sexes be sexy? As for the dropped week, Shoboi Calendar confirms it: ep13 on 28 October.

Maybe the new ED and OP will grow on me, too. I loved the originals (especially the OP) and these felt meh.
Spoiler for 12:
Another freaking hiatus next week? Holy crap! 4 out of 5 weeks is a little ridiculous.

As predicted, a majority of the fans love Buck-Tick's song. Figures.
I love the new OP, however, it does NOT fit the show as well as Buck-Tick's OP song did. Disappointing. But the music was lovely, despite the awkward melody/rhythm of the chorus. The ED is wholly uninteresting. Sounds like elevator music. It's just plain blah. The 1st OP sounds like an angelic chorus compared to that lackluster drawl. I won't comment on the actual episode, as it is really the next one I'm waiting for. Not too much happened, anyway. That's my one hang-up with Shiki. The bulk of story shown consists of the boring nearly-toss-away-status characters, whereas the REALLY interesting stuff is packed into these itsy bitsy tidbits. Most shows consist of this formula, but the "boring parts" in Shiki are SO boring and SO drawn out to the point that I'm really turned off. I was able to read the entire manga up to the latest chapter in only a few hours due to the massive amount of scanning and skipping I was able to do and still get the major/best parts of the story. It's kind of sad. But as I always say, that's just my personal opinion, of course.

I see Natsuno's father more as an object lesson than as a jerk. I mean, I don't believe any of this stuff in real life, either. If someone I knew claimed they were being attacked by vampires, I would think they were disturbed.
The one thing he really did do wrong was not to listen to his son and let him follow his own ideas when it clearly is not going to hurt him, even if it doesn't help him. But like the doctor, I think it's legitimate for him to be full of doubt. If this were the real world, I would be, too. The lesson to me is to keep an open mind and to respect other people's ideas. And to realize how easy it is to be manipulated by my self-respect, as both Natsuno's father and Megumi were. By the way, I'm another who hasn't been bored for a second -- even though I have read the manga up to here. I did that months ago, before the show started. Like others, I have fortunately been able to restrain myself over the hiatus. Just barely.

Yeah, I'm not really digging the new OP. The song isn't bad, it just doesn't suit Shiki, imo.
I expected a more slower, haunting song from Kanon Wakeshima. On the otherhand, the new ED is pretty great. But man, Tohru & Natsuno's confrontation was pretty heart-crushing to watch. And I'm not even gonna comment on Natsuno's father |
