[QUOTE="Geriatric hedgehog, post: 618367, member: 9364"] Yeah for me too, as with the series progressing I noticed the crazy hairstyles less and less, which is quite a testament to the horror it so effectively invokes. Heheh please do be optimistic, I was merely playing devil's advocate with the pessimistic streak. For my simple psychology, people are just people, and not so easily fitting into good/bad/neutral categories, rather having a very fluid adaptibility potential with someone viewed as good & magnanimous potentially being reduced to a murderous lech in certain circumstances and vice versa. So basically my take is generally not to judge or write anyone off when it comes to either potential for good or evil as that is just human nature. One can only hope to make decisions that are ultimately for the greatest good for all and not just the individual, though that is certainly not to say that it is wrong to look out for oneself either. But I digress, and coming back to Shiki, the villagers friendliness is only accelerating their downfall and perhaps they should have been isolationist and not Barakamon-friendly (though of the two villages I certainly know which one I'd rather live in heh).
