Heaven Society - Week 64 (Shiki)

[Fred Castellum]

This Week's Anime!

 

Shiki

 

Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Megumi Shimizu dreamed of a glamorous life in the big city; however, her unexpected death in the quiet village of Sotoba marks the beginning of what appears to be a ferocious epidemic that turns the hot summer into a season of blood and terror. A young doctor named Toshio Ozaki begins to doubt the nature of the disease and comes to understand that to discover the truth, he must abandon his humanity. Meanwhile, Natsuno Yuuki, an antisocial youth from the city, is haunted by the sudden death of Megumi and must realize the pain of friendship in the face of his own tragedy. Toshio and Natsuno form an unlikely pair as they work together to save Sotoba before it transforms into a ghost town of vampires.

 

Shiki, adapted from the horror novel written by Fuyumi Ono, goes beyond the average vampire story. It tells the tragic tale of survival in a world where one cannot easily distinguish between good and evil. Abandoned by God, the Shiki, as the vampires call themselves, have only their will to live as they clash with the fear of the paranoid/unbelieving villagers. Shiki explores the boundary that separates man from monster.

Sounds like what I do. Guess I could watch this since I have nothing I am working on watching right now.

[CatCloud]

... I forgot we did this kind of things, when was the last one?

Anyways, I'll watch this before bed.

:3

[TetraSky]

Oh, so Shiki won eh. It's not bad, but not great either. Not a fan of the horror genre (even if I don't remember this one as being that "scary"), but then again, I barely even remember anything of this anime, other than vampires taking over small town and the whole thing ending in a manhunt or something. (unless I'm mixing it with another anime... hard to keep track when you've seen well over 500 different anime over the years...)

But I know I've watched it and rated it 2.5/5, but to me it was just that forgettable.

Worst halloween week ever its not even in the same month.
