watching Shiki. on episode 16. really damn good and i'm pretty picky about my anime. i give this a 5 out of 5 easy and i haven't even finished it yet. no spoilers.
 
okay. just finished the anime Shiki. I got to say that I was very surprised at the outcome of the series. mainly the last like 10 episodes. some super sad and depressing stuff that made me completely change my view on which side i was rooting for. now that i've seen this anime i can legit rate it. a 5 point rating system.

originality: 5

plot/story: 4.5

characters: over 9000 (seriously though. every character has their own personality and feel like each one of them is important.

artistic style: 5

complexity: 5

English VA: 5
Japanese VA: N/A (watched the whole thing in english.)

overall. a damn good anime that will easily stir up emotion and keep the audience intrigued throughout the whole thing. i actually found it rather hard to stop watching. most-scratch that-ALL of the episodes end with you wanting to know more. see what happened next. heck, i watch the last 10 episodes back to back. i normally never watch anything that long. Shiki is definitely 16+ in the rating department just for it's images and blood/gore but that's it. hardly any cursing involved. and there were no sexual situations at all given that 1 or 2 females had large breast but the anime easily steers clear from the fan service aspect and focuses on the women dressing that way to somewhat live out what they dream of being. Idols or city girls. okay in a nut shell.

Shiki = Top 10 anime-wait-top 5 anime.
 
I got a question for you anime experts. When you go to download an episode by torrent are there any particular translations (Nipponsei, SubDesu, etc.) you tend to steer towards or do you just pick em until you find one you like for each episode? I went to Otakon in Baltimore this weekend and I'm looking to start on a couple of the series I saw there, namely "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?" (Is This A Zombie?) and Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property), but I have no idea what the good translations are and don't really wanna waste a few hours downloading an episode with crap quality or something.
