@Hawk: Maybe Gosick? It's a currently airing mystery anime.
@Jesse: Mhmm you're right, it isn't much of a mystery to the viewer. But that is because we can expect anything to happen in an anime. Because it takes place in a world very similar to our own nobody of the characters thinks of this possibility, which makes it very realistic. When Toshio finally finds out he doesn't know how to convince the other villagers. Not until later in the show that is, where he has a brilliant plan.
I can understand it's not for everyone, some will find it boring. I liked the creepy atmosphere throughout the series and how powerless I felt as a viewer when I watched all those people die without having a way to warn them. In that way it's a bit like Higurashi: you know they're going to die but you can't do anything about it.
I also like that there are many characters in this show. There are over 40 characters in the anime (and even more than twice as much in the manga) in which most of them have their own story. My favorite character is Natsuno.

@ Hawk I would reccomend you Yu Yu Hakusho once again...but it isnt the mystery kind of series you are looking for.

8:19 pm my town, just started to watch Shigurui:death Frenzy, after 10 min i can already tell it's going to have a very messed up bloodbath, and it looks kind of intresting.
PURE GORE!

Shiki has a slow pacing but it really builds up the atmosphere as it moves onto each episode. It's best to marathon it because of the suspense. It was a tad annoying but a worthwhile wait when I was watching it in full, although I had to marathon through the first 13 episodes - I started watching simulcasts then. The last few episodes are the best and in some ways mediocre. There were inconsistencies within the anime but I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't discuss the series with other anime fans. I would still vote Shiki as one of the best animes of 2010 - if not, probably the best of Summer/Fall 2010. It has been nearly half a year since I've watch it so I plan a rewatch sometime soon.
On the other hand, I'm currently watching Air TV, and have been too lazy to watch any simulcasts. It's going to be annoying focusing on schoolwork and anime when you have so much to do by the end of the year. I have to go get a job too so I can go buy dem anime merchandise I've been longing for. I also need to tell my parents to get me my own Debit card so I can establish my own Anime Membership on several legal anime streaming sites.
Not anime related but does anyone here watch Kamen Rider - the Japanese live action superhero show, not the American versions. I do, and I love it.
EDIT:
@Jesse, Shiki isn't much of a mystery. It's more of a thriller type of anime. Hell, I don't even know the bigger meaning behind the series, but from various discussion, I conclude that it is a discussion of human morality and survival. The mystery is suppose to be "What the hell is happening, what's going on?" and is pretty easy to figure out. That question gets dragged on a bit but in the end, the show seems to mainly be about morality. Who is wrong for killing to survive? Is it wrong for people to kill with certain circumstances? If you look at the ANN Shiki discussion thread, there was a lot of debate going on.
