Shiki is a wonderful anime and manages to build suspense while also having a more slow-burn approach to horror. I have seen many horror anime/anime in general, and Shiki is one of the only ones where I find myself revisiting scenes or listening to the soundtrack regularly to relive it.

To be honest, it was pretty slow to find out who were actually the culprits killing and dazing people. After wasting by watching 4 episodes of this, I just gave it up. Why bother making this into a 24 episode series? As a vampire fan, I'm massively dissapinted because I honestly thought this anime series was pretty good from the beginning but instead just disgust me mid way.AVOID!

I started this anime on april 2015 and finished on the same month so here is my review.At first 2 episodes i was about to discard this anime but god i didn't because if i did i will be regret.This is one if the excellent anime based on vampire .acting os superb in both eng sub as well as dub.The strong point is music which is so damn good and story wise anime grabbed 10 out of 10.The movies like let me in and let the right one in has same concept but the anime easily beat those movies.Summary:- Small village surrounded by mountains is isolated with city and other towns suddenly mysterious death occurs .doctor unable to found the cure but soon realize its a bampire attack and dead one are rising back to life and the horror and gore started with the dark nightmare.

Out of all the vampire movies/TV shows I've seen in my years, this is the show that really made me ponder. Yes, they kill people. To live. That's it. There may be some who enjoy the hunt and eventually they do but to live is is their priority. And they made the point that it's no different than humans killing animals for food, and I can't argue with that. So what is evil? Wanting to live? In a way, when you think about it, we are vampires too. No food is ever given without taking a life. Animals, plants, and even our own people. Look at the Donner Pary, for example. This kind of reminds me of 'Salem's Lot and Interview with the Vampire; Vampires come to a quiet little village and some vampires don't always agree with the method or the sacrifice they have to make to survive, but they eventually become what they are. So after watching the whole series, who are we suppose to root for and who to blame, the humans or the vamps.There are some scary scenes but mostly just visually. The voice acting is decent. There's some sad moments that actually surprised me; I didn't think those situations would hurt my heart. The music is haunting, beautiful and unforgettable. Shiki is one of my favorite anime and the perfect way to address the harsh realities of vampires and also relating to them. I hope it will have an impact on you because it did to me. Bigtime.
