I guess Nasu likes the sound of the name? Mebbe he'll name his kids Shiki if his otaku ass ever gets married :P
That aside, I'm happily reading the Chinese translation of the novels now. Years of education in Mandarin, and the only things it's been good for are translated manga and hk action flicks. Feels a lot smoother than the stalled English translations, and the meanings and names carry over a lot better too. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think "shiki" means death. When I read the manga Tsukihime, in the part where Tohno Shiki killed Nero, he asked for Shiki's name.. And he was like, ".. oh i see, so you're my shiki" after hearing his name. By just looking at their abilities (Mystic Eyes of Death Perception), its as if they're death themselves.. =P

If the next movies keep on delivering like the first one I has just seen did, I can say I have finally seen an animated adaptation that did a Nasu's work the justice it deserves.

Who knows, we may even see ufotable remakes of Tsukihime or F/SN. We'll just have to wait and see.
