Ummm, when you discard him, he doesn't go to your graveyard. He gets shuffled in instead.

Yes,
but if you do that on the stack while he goes into your graveyard, then it works...

Well, first of all, Animate Dead is an Enchantment. Second if all, Blightsteel does not set up a triggered ability. If you want to see a triggered ability like his, check out any of the Lorwyn Incarnatioins. The key word in Blightsteel's ability is "instead".

yup, just like darksteel colossus it can't be reanimated by an instant effect because it is a replacement effect... that means that the puts in to the graveyard effect will be replaced by the shuffling effect, that means it never hit the grave...

The darksteel ability is a replacement effect, not triggered. It's like the difference between persist and regenerate.
