Category: Shiki
Shiki is an horror/thriller anime that takes place in the Japanese village of Sotoba, where everyone, as known in the small villages, knows each other.
The main character is Natsuno Yuuki – a boy in which pink-haired Megumi Shimizu fell in love – but the feeling was only one-sided.
However, this is only an introduction to the history, which gradually becomes darker and more confusing. We meet his friends, including Toshio Ozaki – Sotoba’s doctor, cheerful Tohru Mutou and many others.
Shiki is about hard subjects of life’s value, the struggle for strength, and how fear of the unknown can affect people, especially in a small society.
Vampirism, dramatic events, love for family, sacrifice and loss – there is a lot about it in Shiki. The tension rises to the very end, leaving us with thoughts and… possible depression.
