I'd only ever watched this one previously on a flight to Florida on my ipod so I'd missed alot of the story and visuals and it really struck me just how good it was second time round. I personally think that the best scene was with mikiya and his old "friend" in the hut was heavily disturbing but brilliantly done again, first is the fact that the character in the hut has clearly lost his mind due to the events and fear, is rambling on about the events which lead up to Fujino's Rampage. As the confession/plea for help goes on you feel more and more horrified with the thing bawling out his horrific actions to mikiya which only get worst. At the point in his tale when Mikiya stops him, his glasses are shadowing his eyes and his voice is the closest to anger I think Mikiya ever comes, a mixture of disgust and hatred perfectly voiced.

Koyomi was told that she was cursed by a classmate because she rejected a boy that the classmate liked. Because the curse was placed by an amateur, it should not have worked and Nadeko’s DIY ritual should have worked. But she was unlucky because the arrival of Shinobu, a vampire of royal blood, in the town had attracted all sorts of bad things to the shrine (the cause of Suruga’s early discomfort), further escalation of which has been averted by placing the charm last episode. And it was Nadeko’s attempts to lift the curse that activated it. She feels the pain of the constrictions but has been holding it in but Koyomi and Suruga give her the same line that Kokuto Mikiya fed to Asagami Fujino.

I've heard A LOT of good things about the fifth one though so I recommend you don't write it off just yet! @Sorrow-kun: yeah, Mikiya's a bit of an island of normality in all this, isn't he? It's good to have at least one character who you can identify with, when everyone else is either eccentric (Touko) or has some sort of supernatural ability/affliction (Shiki, Fujino). I expected him to be a bit dull at first, but he shows quite a noticeable reaction when confronted with a situation that demands it. He and his sister remind me a lot of Shiki and Akiha in Tsukihime in terms of appearance, which I believe was intentional (more blogging on that to come, promise!). @Kairu Ishimaru: I quite liked the second movie for the characterisation but as for the third one…it’s so extreme and full-on I can’t help but respect it.

I'm glad you brought up the question about just who is responsible for Fujino's murderous rampage, because that's a controversial question that the anime tried to deal with (and handled fairly well, I thought). I actually saw Mikiya's disgust at his old friend's involvement in Fujino's rape as something of an indication that he was more outraged by the initial traumatization of Fujino (which was pretty much unprovoked) than he was of Fujino's killing spree. Mikiya, in my opinion, is a moral reference point for the audience in this movie, someone whose perspective the audience is supposed to see the events of the story through. For him to take such a clear stand on a rather controversial issue made me think that, thematically, the movie was doing likewise, suggesting that the initial, unprovoked act was less forgivable than Fujino's response. Shiki, I think, represents a supposedly more noble standpoint again, ie, someone who has the urge to kill, but doesn't act on it.
