C ep. 8 was certainly interesting. I'm wondering how this will end with 3 episodes left to go.
AnoHana ep. 8 was also great. Finally Menma proves her existence, I've been waiting for that since the first episode.
I started watching Hidan no Aria and Gosick again after stopping for a few weeks.
Well, Aria is as mediocre as you can get except for the awesome opening and the action scenes.
Gosick is still a bit boring and I hate Kujo and Victorique. :P But I like the setting and you don't see mystery anime that often.
As for manga I started reading Chibi Vampire which is pretty funny so far. It's about a "reverse vampire", who makes makes too much blood instead of needing blood to survive. So once in a while she needs to bite people to inject her blood or else she gets a massive nosebleed.
Sounds crazy right? Yeah you can only find such stories in Japan. :P Well it gets even stranger: when she bites someone their problems such as stress or misery are temporarily gone.
It was already a pain to get those manga though because they're from Tokyopop who closed their manga publishing offices a few weeks ago. So suddenly everyone starts buying Tokyopop manga; I actually got the last copies of this series from the only manga webshop in my country. :)
I was also pretty excited when a package arrived with the Shiki sketches I won at an online auction last week. They're sequences from episodes 10 and 16 and I can pause those episodes at the right moment to see my sketches. :) It's really awesome to own something they used to make the anime I love. I'm currently bidding on Death Note and Black Lagoon sketches, but with such popular series I don't think my chances are high enough to win them.

Omg, Chibi Vampire is really good ^_^ Well i've only seen the anime but I do plan on reading the manga of it.
AnoHana ep.8 was very solid this week. The episode was well executed. The drama, settings... it manages to induce the waterworks at the right places. Especially when the ending theme starts playing.
Finally the others are aware of Menma's existance! It is definitely the best anime out of the 19 i'm currently watching this season, lol. I don't give out 10/10s much on MAL, but AnoHana is going to be getting a 10/10 :D Last one I gave out was for Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica xD
Time to see this week's C, Denpa, A-Channel, Hidan no Aria and SKET Dance.
Clue Drops -> 3a Range Top (h357), 3a Full Helm (h439), 3a Druidic Staff (e969), Barrows Dye (h1755, h2546, e680, e1567, e2038, e2160, m480, m783, m862), Shadow Dye (e510, e1970, e1985, h2948), Ice Dye (e1539, e2804), 3a Dye (e3129)

I haven't seen the anime, but I hear from those who've seen both that the manga is much better. So if you liked the anime I recommend also trying the manga. :)
Denpa Onna... Really, who comes up with the idea of filling a water bottle rocket with explosives to blow up invisible aliens? :P But even that cannot surpass Nichijou in absurd humor.

WARNING, POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANIME SHIKI.
Right,
Just finished watching the first episode of Shiki and it is kinda obvious that it is Shiki that done the murder, however, it could be something more.
Reasons;
1. The murderer was wearing a blindfold when he bit that woman and Shiki complains of seeing things.
2. The conversation he had with his friend basically said he was the killer when she said "The killer could be standing right next to you looking completely innocent".
3. He kills a lot of people that you can see or at least daydreams it. O_o
So, I think he will be turned into a vampire or something later on in the anime.
Am I warm?

Who do you mean by "he"? By the way I'll tell you this: Shiki isn't the name of a character.
Yeah like we discussed before the term "mystery" probably isn't the right genre for this anime. :P You immediately know who did it, but not why and how.
