AAAAAAAAAAANyway, meh. Shinobu origins are interesting, but it's no Alucard level shit.
The short stories are new to me. Glad to see them getting translated, will look at them later on.
How are you comparing Alucard to Kiss-Shot as well? I understand both are vampires and immortal, but Kiss-Shot is never shown being as ruthless. Alucard literally shot through Seras with a would-be fatal wound until he turned her into a vampire. Compare that to Araragi who was turned into a vampire for helping Kiss-Shot. One is more brutal and the other is rather caring(?).
I'm hype for the Shinobu story. She's an interesting character given her past. I would absolutely love to see a story of the specialists in College more, though. It's a sad story for all of them.

Er.....in origins. Alucard's origin was in the crusades I believe, very dark stuff.

mmmmm
I feel as if the author should spend his time on Koyomi in college as a specialist instead of origins. Shinobu's origins are a mystery, but I feel they give waaaaaaaay too much depth to shinobu for the relative disinterest Koyomi shows her later.

Aw, he shows disinterest? That's kind of sad. In all honesty, I figured he would choose bat>crab. There is almost no reason he should have chose her outside of the "I like you because you saved me" and he's a high-school virgin. Yeah, you got Hanekawa, but let's be real here: He's had so many chances already that it's almost like the author just doesn't want them to be together.
Now, unless I'm interpretation what you mean by disinterest entirely(read:relationships) then that's really sad. Shinobu seems to be in need of Araragi outside of the whole "without you, I destroy the world" aspect.
