Review of Shiki
Boy oh boy, this has been one of the most profound anime I've seen , and I'm not sure if it was in a good way or a bad one. I can say that it was not my favorite at all though, because I just felt like the ending was all too sudden and I expected a little more. I do like the concept though. Throughout the story, at first it seems like a simple terror plot, but especially towards the end, it progresses into FAR more than that. I won't give out any spoilers but it if you want an anime that really picksup and changes drastically towards the end then this is the one for you. This actually really reminded me that sometimes humans are more devilish than actual monsters. The way in which the humans become the monsters (figuratively speaking) is just what made the anime so profound for me.
I wish the ending could have been a little better done though. After I watched it, I just felt really empty but filled with a lingering "wtf just happened" feeling. It's hard to explain, but this anime is definitely something special. It is worth checking out in my opinion. The intense emotions of characters brought the anime to life and made a bigger impact as well. The tragedies and all had the same impact.
This anime is definitely something to check out, if you want the emotional and moral impact.
