Well, Shiki should pick up its pace soon.The first chapter in the manga was a total bore too. It was all about how Megumi totally hates the town and its people (except Natsuno, whom she fancies), and Natsuno hating Megumi's guts just because she's a total moron.
The mystery actually starts building up in the second chapter or so, where many other people start contracting anemia and dying...after Megumi does.
*reads Wikipedia's summary of ep1*
So episode 1 ends right when Megumi dies. Well, I agree it's still very boring at that point. I was like, "Oh. She died. So what?" when I read that part. Of course, when people started dying left and right after Megumi did...it really made me sit up and take notice. Shiki is really all Mystery and Psychological. There's a little Supernatural, but it's not really all that significant. I'm not saying anything more because those would just be spoilers.
Look out for the Bible reference later on (if it'll be included in the anime at all). I'll give a hint: Seishin and Sunako.
