Review of Shiki

in all honestly im not really a fan of vampire anime but i heard that sikki a really good and well made vampire story(unlike twilight) so even though i was hesitant at first i decided to give it a shot. to my suprise the anime was just one big MEH....so before i start getting flamed ill give it some credit were its due. though the overall idea they present in the anime(whether its right to kill if it means you can live on) is intresting the way they try to show this idea and answer it is just unintresting.also the fact that none(if not most)of the caracter get no development whatsoever lowers the anime as well.since the begining of the anime you can tell that they are simply streching it out, trying to make it longer than what it needed to be, more so when one of the caracters said in the anime that something was wrong in the village while evyone who heard him just laugh and said yea some strange things are happening, if thats the case shouldnt you do something like i dont know get the hell out of there.which leads me to another aspect. if there trying to go for a more real take on the anime then why didnt more of the people left, aside from the one the vampires hypnotized to move out. most of the people remained there which to me didnt seem very realistic. that also brings me up to my las bad note. why didnt the vampires try to find a diffrent way of dealing with the situation. they know what their doing is wrong yet they just go and do it anyway.that just didnt really feel very real in my opinion and it didnt help me sympathize with the vampires i think that they couldve looked for a diffrent solution insted of just accepting it and start killing people. and even if they did go and do it they would be killing their food source which wouldnt really help them at all. with all that said i cant say i hated the anime its nothing like that i just simply felt that though it had potential it didnt really make anything out of it. its like if your good at a sport but you dont practice or develop it then your never gonna get anywere with it even if you are good thats the problem this anime has, even though i dont think its unwatchable and some people will enjoy it(vampire fans) i think theres better anime out there and honestly i wouldnt recommend this anime unless you really like vampires(NOT TWILIGHT) but other than that theres better mystery and horror to watch out there.
