I am truly shocked the fangirl insert resonated with a fangirl

[(Anonymous)]

Those sure are assumptions.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you actually watched the show?

[(Anonymous)]

No, I meant you were making assumptions about the OP. For one thing you don't even know that they're a girl and you definitely don't know that they're a stalker. Just because they find a character sympathetic doesn't mean they are that character.

[(Anonymous)]

They said she's 'relatable and sympathetic' and they agreed with the sentiments of her speech. I think it's fair to gloss that into "OP identifies with the character on some level."

[luxshine]

The Anon wasn't saying that OP was a stalker. They said that the character whom they identified with was a stalker, which she was (To the point of killing the main character best friend because the main character didn't talk to her and talked to him), as well as every point mentioned. Megumi (the character) was a creepy fangirlish character, who acted as if she was cooler than everyone else in the town even before she was turned into a vampire, and was a fangirl insert with whom the audience was never supposed to identify at first (Well, until the author did a 180° turn and decided that the merciless bloodthirsty killers where the victims of the story). So yeah, it's easy to think that someone who likes Megumi is a fangirl herself, even if it's probable that they don't reach the same levels of crazy obsession that Megumi reaches.

[(Anonymous)]

okay i get it already

[(Anonymous)]

someone's awfully defensive.

sometimes backward norms are okay to feel, uh, better than. especially if they're backwards, as you've indicated.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a feeling I should know who this is, but I just can't place it. Help?

[ill_omened]

Megumi from Shiki.

(she has the most hilariously over the top death)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god this is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this. Everything from the title to the video itself is great, the painfully melodramatic speech, the wildly over-the-top death that just keeps on going and going... I love this.

[(Anonymous)]

WOW lol

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Thanks. I think I didn't have any reason to know who she was, maybe I was thinking of a different Megumi.

[altumcor]

I don't watch the show and I don't really know who she is other than what I've read from the comments.

Still, that was just hard to watch. I mean, ow...

[ariakas]

Never seen the show, but Japanese media often lionizes the losing side of a conflict in stories, because...

...Well for painfully transparent reasons, really.

[(Anonymous)]

lol someone is projecting
I see we are ignoring all the things she got up to

[(Anonymous)]

I would like to see the Shiki killing you, your friends, your family and everyone you love. Let's see if you still think they deserved to win.

[(Anonymous)]

On one hand, the Shikis wanted allies and food, the first one is the reason they attacked Sotoba like they did.
On the other, the humans were defending themselves and while doing that they crossed many lines (torturing, trying to kill other humans who weren't with them, etc.).

I, for one, don't think any side deserved to win and I'm kind of glad that in the end neither really won.

[(Anonymous)]

For a shot at immortality?

(and if I was chances are for my family following me)

Hell yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

This series is awesome. Although my inner monologue went something like this;

1 ep: Is this chick main character? My god she's annoying. Yeah, he does not like you. Get over it! Stalking won't help your cause. I wont be able to stomach this.
W-wait a minute. Ah! False alarm, she was first episode sacrifice who will then be forgotten. Yes!

2 ep: Fuck me, this is vampire series. She's gonna come back. NOOOO!

And later this was repeated with Masao who was complete waste of space and screen time.

[(Anonymous)]

She's pretty much a misunderstood teenager angry with her world.

That's why it's easy to relate on some way with her, specially compared with most of the cast.

[iggy]

I loved her character design, but yeah... she was obnoxious.

She had nothing on Masao though. TERRIBLE and pointless character.

(Interesting that everyone seems to think that the Shiki were played as the good guys at the end? I thought it was intended to show that BOTH of them were terrible.)
