Review of Shiki

(My first review) This review may have some light spoilers. Shiki has to be one of my favourite animes, this is because of the story, art and music. This anime is supernatural and throughout has a dark theme, it shows how the characters can cope with the supernatural both physically and mentally. The art style to begin with can seem quite strange but the art grows on you, when I finished the anime I missed the style. The music too is beautiful, it adds to the setting and really makes the story so much better. Another plus side of this anime is that the vampires aren'tseen to be fully bad in this story, it's unbiased and shows more of the psychological effect on them- it's not an anime which is like 'these are the bad guys and they're doing this because they're bad'.
I personally scored the characters and 8, this is because it's set on multiple characters, which is quite refreshing as there isn't one true protagonist, however this did mean that for some characters there wasn't too much of a backstory. I'm not too bothered by the fact there was multiple people getting the spotlight but I can see why some people can be bothered by there not only being one main character (there are characters which get more attention than others), yet by doing this both sides are understood by the viewer.
I think this is a must watch anime.
