Shiki was weird, structurally. Rather than having buildup-resolution over an episode or a short arc, it just plain had 12 eps of creepy followed by 12 eps of shit going down.

I liked it a lot (obviously).
I think it does actually work in the case of Shiki, because the contrast between the two different tones of the series really helps to convey the dramatic changes in the story.
 
I feel it's important to properly state those conditions to assuage any misunderstandings about what I find attractive vs. who I'd actually make a move on. Thinking a fully-formed damn-near of age teenager is attractive does not make one a pedo; actually trying to do something to them does.

Stop trying to rationalize, it's painful to witness.

They did exactly what I expected, yet still managed to fuck up real bad.
Hibiki being the only character able to use the swan song without any ill effects was established about ten episodes ago - and never mentioned again. Perfect setup for a surprise happy end.
Why the fuck didn't they leave it at that!?

Can you help me find an anime series? I can't remember the name of it now, but it featured young girls in school uniforms, if that helps.

I use subs so it took me a while to realize we were in community. Strange place where darkside is Jexhius, and Jexhius is an imouto.

Even if Miyazaki makes Lupin say those words in that movie, it doesn't do any to rectify the two very different portrayals of what's supposed to be the same character.
That is true. Well, the 'retcon' part was a half-joking exaggeration on my part... maybe I see it more as a jab to the character archetype, like the similar one they dealt with the Farewell, Beloved Lupin episode.
