Funnily enough, when I first got him, I wanted to personally train him to be as bloodthirsty as those Nazi German Shepherds you see on the tapes of concentration camps and such. Sadly, I spoiled him so hard that he, for example, doesn't want to eat before I (and I alone) feed him a banana. He loves to eat everything, from onions to spring onions to raw potatoes to figs. Not only that, but every time his stomach is upset, he doesn't want to eat out of anything other than my hand. I literally have to hand-feed him when he's sick, else he'd probably starve himself out.Khelly wrote:

He's weird as shit, but I adore him, and he definitely hates outsiders - at least one trait I could give him out of the whole thing.

Well, let's just take Nao's case for a second.
She grew up with terrible, terrible parents, mkay? Her parents left her, mkay? She then finds a beautiful husband who loves her beyond everything, bears two of his children and even gets accepted by his parents so much so that she even holds them as her own, mkay? She then promises to herself that she'll one day repay them all as best she can for the beautiful life they've all given her.
.......then she proceeds to kill them one by one, no no no no, even worse - turn them into Shiki; a fate worse than death. (nevermind, she just killed them)
Yeah, I think I'll show her some compassion by pouring her with molten metal and then crucifying her publicly.
As I said earlier, their logic is utterly one-sided. You know, just because you have the desire to live, doesn't give you the right to take other people's lives. I know I sound like a hypocrite, as we are all, since we eat other life forms without remorse, but they aren't on the same intelligence rank as we are, thus making it somewhat of an invalid point to use against me.
They have no right to torment other people with something that is much worse than death itself, just because they got caught up in it. That logic is unreasonable and can't be taken into consideration when working towards any kind of sympathetic solution, so no, fuck the Shiki, they all ought to die for what they've done. Let's not even start with the fact that they've embraced killing like a casual sport.

Yeah, I have, just as I woke up today. I didn't really want to fall asleep on the last ep, but my eyes couldn't handle a full marathon so late during the night.
I call bullshit on the end, though. The werewolves are never shown as killed (remember the dynamite scene) so as to possibly indicate a second season that will never come, and the fucking priest that I hated all along for being a wuss got away with the loli. Damnit, they should've killed them all. The big guy with a mustache was right - Shiki killed people without remorse, and when it came time for THEM to die it's like "please, spare me, PLEASE!" - where was that mercy when you killed innocent people without any emotion, huh? Need to feed my ass, we've already established that they could've just traded blood - they wanted for everyone to be like them. They knew all along what they were; hideous creatures shunned by God himself, and they wanted everyone around to suffer for that, to share their agony, hence the converting and no cooperation.
Megumi's death was particularly funny. She danced around every time, proud of how many people she had killed that night, and at the end when it was her time to come, she cried like a little bitch. The truck tire over the head was an ingenious method of paying her back. She was still alive, yet in so much pain, kek.

Things like being 'alive' or 'dead' or meaningless. By having free will and a desire to live, you are a living creature, regardless if you have a heartbeat or not. Every creature has the right to continue to fight for survival. This is dictated by nature, not you. You are not the arbitrator of the rights of things.Aurani wrote:
Nononono, that's not how it works you lil' shit. :V
If you die and turn into a Shiki, you are NOT entitled to kill humans, as you've wasted your life. Being a Shiki means being between life and death. Their life is over, and they have no rights to take other people's lives no matter what purpose. Even less so when they did it out of fun.
How come Ricchan was the only one to have understood that? She starved herself to death because she understood what it meant to be a Shiki. By turning into one, you have already died. The dead have no rights. You had your chance to live, don't bring the bullshit logic of survival and wishes of living like a human into the play, as it's invalid. It would be the same as me dying, becoming a ghost and feeding off of people's sanity (making them completely unable to live) just because I want to feel like a human again. Fuck no. It would be the same even if they ate cows and not humans, but it makes it even worse when you toss in humans into the picture.
Adaptation, growth AND reproduction (they are not reproducing by any conventional method, mind you). Half isn't enough to describe it as a living being - you wrote that yourself. Or are you going to settle it by saying that they're half-alive?Green Platinum wrote:
How are they not alive lol? They fulfil all the conditions to be defined as life.
Biology
Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, the current understanding is descriptive. Life is considered a characteristic of something that exhibits all or most of the following traits:
Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, sweating to reduce temperature.
Organization: Being structurally composed of one or more cells — the basic units of life.
Metabolism: Transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (catabolism). Living things require energy to maintain internal organisation (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life.
Growth: Maintenance of a higher rate of anabolism than catabolism. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter.
Adaptation: The ability to change over time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity, diet, and external factors.
Response to stimuli: A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism to external chemicals, to complex reactions involving all the senses of multicellular organisms. A response is often expressed by motion; for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism), and chemotaxis.
Reproduction: The ability to produce new individual organisms, either asexually from a single parent organism, or sexually from two parent organisms.
Adaption and Growth are the only ones that can really be doubted.
You ought to look at the anime, mate. The Michael Jackson guy never once killed a person, even when hungry and presented with a child. He was too much of a wuss to kill, and that proves that it's NOT instinct that drives those things to kill - it's what they were trained for, and grew fond of it as a result. Same with Ricchan - she didn't want to kill because she made a conscious decision to NOT kill someone. She'd likely take a glass of blood without a single thought if she was presented with it, but she didn't want to kill. The reason they start killing people even when they don't want to has nothing to do with instinct - it's their willpower to resist an insanity (that is clearly described in the anime, from what I remember, so no instincts involved at all) that starts messing with their mind if they don't take any blood in.B1rd wrote:
You can't accuse me of not arguing with facts, the whole basis of what your saying is based assertions that they are such things as 'dead' and 'unnatural'. Yet you can't prove any of this. Dead things don't think and feel and live, and it would be logical by the mere fact that they exist to believe they are natural, that they are the natural predators of humans. Why are you so conceited as to think that you know what the 'laws of nature' are and that you can determine whether shiki should exist or not?
And how can you condemn shiki for killing people when it's something they have no control over? When they're first created they will likely attack someone out of pure instinct, with no conscious decision, before they have even worked out what they are. And it's absurd to think that they should kill themselves even afterwards.
So which is it, are you saying that the individuals are at fault for not having a tremendous willpower to deny their very nature, or are you saying that an entire species is 'evil' and shouldn't exist, because... you think so? They're not 'natural'?
Parasitic reproduction and Asexual reproduction both exist too.Aurani wrote:

With this you could easily argue Shiki is just a developmental cycle of a human. Since there is no reason to say they aren't human.Aurani wrote:
They still don't describe what the Shiki are doing.
" Reproduction: the act or process of reproducing; specifically : the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual"
The Shiki aren't making new individuals. They are merely spreading the diseased blood into another individual and he turns into one of them after death (in most cases, as it's not a 100% success rate). There is no reproduction going on at all, unless you want to make an argument that the blood itself is the Shiki, and that the humans that appear to be Shiki are actually just the shells/hosts for them. Even then, there are inconsistencies revolving that.
nononoAurani wrote:
So you are actually saying that plants aren't alive because they aren't conscious? Nope, can't agree with you there at all. Plants might not be as advanced as us on a cellular level, but they sure as fuck still communicate and even respond based on certain chemical processes that happen within them. They are very much alive, so nope, sole consciousness can't be a criteria for a thing to be alive. It's just not logically consistent to claim that.
Regardless, why the living FUCK are we even discussing the anime? I mean I'm certainly amused when I beat an argument, yes, but we are fighting over rather trivial shit over here.
