Shiki

I so can’t wait for the next episode of Shiki. I’m not a huge fan of scary stories but when I watch one, I can get hooked. Like with Shiki – good thing it’s in a level in which I can watch it all by myself.

Shiki’s plot is so cliche – people in a small village die one by one due to – well, vampires! At first, the village doctor thought it’s an epidemic but now he’s thinking that the deaths are caused by okiagari/risen/vampires. Gosh, it took him 6 episodes to realized it. The vampires are old-school cliche too (unlike those Twilight gay vampires) – they die in sunlight or with a stake in the heart.

What I like about this anime – 1) It scares me. 2) The art style is so unique – almost like the guys are all bishies 2) I like the slow pacing and thus, the story.

What I hate about this anime – 1) That weird, Masao guy. Why can’t he just die?

  1. After having watched Vampire Knight I actually no longer consider myself watching any other vampire series. The same goes for Twilight, except I’d consider Buffy since she came in first.

    P.S. Whoa! “Strict security” indeed!

    • VK is more like a vampire vs vampire thing – like a story within a vampire world. I did watch some eps of the 1st season. I admit I got hooked – I even read up until chapter 40ish of the manga. What I liked about it was that it’s shoujo. :P Dunno why I stopped watching/reading it. It just happened.

      While Shiki is more like an horror story. It’s not a vampire series perse, I think. You should give it a try if horror anime is one of the things you like. :)

      • You didn’t actually finish VK? Sounds weird. Hmm… Maybe I do ought to check this one out.

        • Yeah, sadly. [sad] I tend to put some series on hiatus because I follow new anime series every season. You know, like there are just series that I stop watching mainly because ‘there are new ones in the new season’. And sometimes downloading once a week is quite ma-hassle. Maybe if I downloaded VK as a batch DL, I would have finished it.

          Tho – I still want to finish it someday.
