Even though we all know who the humans were and who the vampires were, one question still stands above all: Who were the true demons? Out of the vast sea of modern-day vampire stories, very rarely does a story about vampires stick to it''s true core: vampires. And by vampires I don't mean the rom...

I finished watching this anime yesterday at 2 AM and when I did until 2:30 AM I just stared at the screen trying to assimilate the last 5 episodes. I was like: OMGx2 or something. Now the review its self. Story: 9/10 The way how the story evolves is really cool. Some might call it slow but I thin...

This is my first review in a long while, so I might be a bit rusty. I also haven't watched this in a few months, but I have been suggesting it to a lot of people, so I thought I would write up something. Shiki's story is one you may have heard before - a small, rural village where strange happeni...

Few anime are as unique and interesting as Shiki, a series which has taken the vampire genre and turned it into something very special. Right from the start, Shiki feels very different from the usual anime fare, especially when it comes to its look. The art is great, but what’s striking about the...

Well, this is my first review, but I'll try to make it worth reading. What brought me to this anime is that I really enjoyed the anime Higurashi no naku koroni and Shiki was one of the recommended animes that was supposedly similar to Higurashi. Story: (9/10) So basically, the story is set in a s...

The only salvageable element is the serviceable soundtrack, whose dubbing and music at least function. Everything else collapses: a predictable, nonsensical story, character designs that mash Yu-Gi-Oh with JoJo into something painful, and an entire town of irredeemably stupid people whose every d...

The single redeeming moment is one vampire choosing starvation over killing friends. Otherwise, Shiki bungles its moral ambiguity, turning vampires into sadistic, self-sabotaging idiots who beg for extinction while humans behave with equal stupidity, leaving plot holes everywhere and contrived re...

I ended up watching Shiki when I went on a Vampire binge one week. And don't worry, that's not a big spoiler or anything, it's actually fairly obvious to the point that it is impossible to miss before it is blatantly stated. I binged this series in give or take two days with barely any breaks to ...

Finally, a horror story that gets it right! In recent years, across all media, there has been a distinct lack of good horror. It seems that the entertainment industry has decided ‘horror = jump-scares’ (this is a generalization; there have been some good ones come out, but too few in my opinion)....

Shiki is a special experience for me . It is been literally three years and I still can't get over it Plot 10/10 Best plot twisted ever ! Characters 10/10 music 100/100 My god , the osts are just perfect , pull the sadness from your heart . Art style 10/10 Unique , tall high schoolers and it pret...

I had never felt so conflicted about an anime before. This is really an anime that highlights the gray that is hidden between the black and the white. And it is an anime that will make you feel so hollow yet compels you to come back and suffer more. Yes. This is an anime that is full of suffering...

I'm going to start off by saying after reflecting, Shiki was my favourite show of 2010, and i watched an entire 3 shows! Shiki does an awful lot of things extremely well, but you might be surprised as to which aspects it excels. This is not an action packed show, and nor is it a frightening show,...

Shiki was a refreshing breath of fresh air from an overused trope in anime. Unlike zombie apocalypses, vampires is one theme that pops up everywhere, from anime, to fiction, to really bad romances, they're everywhere. Shiki takes advantage of the popularity of vampires to give us a chilling tale ...

Shiki is the anime I gladly recommend to people. I was at first very glad when I saw that it had 22 episodes(and not 12 or 13 episodes most anime nowadays have). It begins rather slow. Which when you think about it is rather good. That way story can be explained well, in details nevertheless. I t...

The horror genre rarely lends itself to be well done especially in anime. Shows like Higurashi, Elfen Lied, etc. - although good shows in their own right - were a sort of glass ceiling that served to bound the entire genre. Making a horror show more engaging, terrifying, entertaining, gruesome, a...

THIS WAS EPIC......... i wont tell anything that is unnecessary in this story you have to think for yourself "what is justice in this world and what is actually right",what i learn from this anime i tell you but this four major points can be only used for this anime to choose what is right. 1-IF ...

WARNING: Contains minor spoilers Could you...forgive the killing of people? Are there cases when killing is absolutely necessary? Does killing to ensure your own survival come under self-defence? Can it be justified? In other words, if you had to kill the people around you in order to live, would...

Shiki is a difficult anime to watch for me not because of the killing spree but mainly because it poses the never-ending question, "what is the boundary between good and evil? of life and death?" Shiki, also known as corpse demon is a story about a whole village turned into vampires. Strange thin...

Shiki is one of those anime that puts you in a difficult situation, requiring you to sympathize with a supernatural species that lives off the blood of humans. So, from the psychological term it's kind of similar to 'Tokyo Ghoul' and 'Parasyte' though the plot may be quite different. When science...

Story:10- Reason, because it had a well drawn out plot. It did not rush the story (much to my personal frustration, which is a good thing honestly) and it developed its characters and relations well. Art: 10- It had well balanced artwork, between the day and the night. The people in themselves sh...
