Anime Synopsis:
When citizens of a secluded village begin dying off in alarming numbers, the sole hospital's head doctor tries desperately to save his patients-but his efforts are in vain. Entire families are wiped out while others desert their homes. All hell breaks loose as the villagers discover their loved ones' corpses are rising from the grave with an insatiable thirst for human blood. Who is safe when the urge to kill in order to survive blurs the line between man and monster?

Honestly, music like this makes me question myself. Makes me question what I am even doing with my life, what other people doing with their life! I dont see anyone smile as much as they genuinely used to! It cannot be that social media and technology have just taken over everyone's mind! Think about it! Do you even live anymore? Do you even still have the love for detail like when we were kids. Are you one with time or are you just passive!? Wake up! Start going outside WITHOUT the phone! Go biking and live in the moment and one day you can think naturally back and thus create real memories and NOT on the phone! Where are the people that used to put so much effort into art and creativity aka music and fun activity events?? Entertainment is when you go to festivals and attend real emotional concerts and NOT because of the money! Artists should also be more natural again! Find real passion and show real love. Lets crush this artificial industry and LET US MAKE HUMANITY GREAT AGAIN! We are human beings! Not robots. We need to be able to open our hearts again. Start being more focused again and not be distracted by some addictions like drugs, smoking, alcohol and screen time. We dont need these if we can make life great on our own again! We natural beings! It is in our nature to love and to be open.

shiki is so underrated. the anime is so good, it has a deep meaning and leaves you questioning about a lot of things. It was sometimes hard to watch because it is so tragic and it made me cry, but it's so worth it watching it. and not to forget, the soundtrack is just perfect, it always gives me goosebumps

[@xXplayer360Xx]

The reason of it being underrated is people like me, that love action and momentum are so easily bored with light novel like story telling, so the first 18 episodes are difficult not to drop, for example the only reason i was able to finish it was that i knew good stuff was coming because of spoilers. This anime really has that 90's structure to it, just like Heroic age, if you manage to get through the slow part, the explosive burst of emotion is that much more meaningful. I admit, that huge build up was totally worth it, and maybe the anime is better because of it, even if it makes it an unappreciated gem.

What I loved about Shiki the most, was how well written it is. Anime fails badly at creating suspense, but not Shiki. The way the "disease" spreads and develops into a supernatural scenario is incredible. If you're not aware about the whole vampire thing being involved it can definitely keep you engaged in the immersive crescendo. Wish I could re watch it as the first time, and, omg the music guys. Listen to this.

[@XxPolloV1412xX]

[@catherinele6433]

I mean... in my opinion yeah, it's still okay to want to live, but it's best if the dead stays dead. The vampires' lifestyle kinda prevents them from being able to exist as a permanent species anyway. (Once they take over the world, they're going to run out of food/humans with even more mouths to feed.) It would be easier to rest when you aren't revived in the first place. (Then again, as Zeke said, they could go by fourths instead of trying to "DESTROY EM ALL" and turn them to vampires.)

[@loyalsoles7848]

if your living is predicated on the deprivation of life from other human beings, then yes. it is very wrong.

[@PrymCabral]

I watched the show because I was searching for top emotional anime songs, and Eau de Vie and Day and Night were just stuck in my head...I knew there had to be a backstory elsewhere. I watched Shiki and stuck to the episodes every night--it kind of changed me because its words were very powerful and meaningful. The horror style showcases life and humanity's abomination. The thing is, music is just supposed to be a 'background' or an 'etc' to an anime, but composers like Takanashi Yashanaru (also from Naruto) has elevated the musical standards of every anime...the music itself has a soothing story to it; it's already filled with too much emotions that when added to the story, you will tear up, because it's a great combination. Good story and a good music, best anime.

This anime is so philosophical it has such deep meaning to it. It irritated me in the beginning as it was slow but when the story built up I started questioning my own thinking honestly made me question morality. Even now when I listen to the soundtrack I can track back to those emotions and no doubt i have tears in my eyes. This is one of the very few animes that have an outstanding soundtrack which will engross u more into the show and if you are a fan of instrumentals and anime osts believe me you will save these tracks in your heart even before your mp3!

+akritithegreat Makes you question certain aspects of morality, like whether or not someone is deserving of death, even if they are a threat. It actually reminds me somewhat of Golem from Lord of the Rings. There are multiple places in which both Bilbo and Frodo had both justification and the means to kill Golem but chose not to. Gandalf remarks on this saying "even the very wise cannot see all ends". This is probably the most foreboding line in literature history because without Frodo and Bilbo's mercy Golem wouldn't have been alive to take the ring from Frodo and cause its destruction.

Manuel Martinez “Macbeth's self-justifications were feeble - and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb, too. The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Ideology-that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. That was how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by civilization; the Nazis, by race; and the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations....

[@neko9141]

I honestly really loved this anime. It was very emotional, and I can agree the soundtrack is indeed very powerful. I remember watching Shiki and becoming kind of impatient, as the show was quite slow in the beggining. However, it did satisfy me near the end. I started to think more deeply about what "evil" really is. It can certainly change your view of things, and I've never watched an anime before with such a clear message. It made me shed a few tears... or maybe more than a few.. I'm quite upset not many people know of Shiki, so I try to tell all my friends about it. Although, that's quite hard since people don't really look at the true meaning of it. They rather think of it as, "scary", quite possibly because of the gore and all. But, if you really do pay more attention to the story, it can really get to your soft spot.

[@KDB349]

I believe there is actually a thing such "evil" Evil does exist wether one wants to accept/believe that or not but with shiki I think it was a combination of fear and misunderstanding. I believe the war in the end could have very well been avoided. The shiki despite the way they went about things, just wanted a home to call their own, to have a family. Sotoba was to be their home. The villagers of sotoba were just people who hated change, they refused to accept it and were trapped in their old ways. With that kinda mindset it's obvious that there would have been some fall out. However ignoring that the villagers were also kind and caring and was open to having the shiki around even though they didn't know what the shiki actually were. Now with that said I believe that if the shiki spoken to the right individual such as seishin then they could have worked something out. They could have organized a blood drive of sorts to help out the shiki with their hunger. There was many obvious solutions in my opinion. They really could have lived side by side as family but the shiki choose what was easier to them and began terrorizing and feeding on the villagers. Thus the humans retaliated. It was a sad turn of events no matter which way you look at it. A war truly didn't have to happen. Honestly I can't even bring myself to watch through shiki in entirety again. While I *was* on the side of the humans I did care for the shiki and although megumi was made to be a cruel girl I felt for her, I understood her situation and her pain and I just wanted to comfort her. Whoa this is a long comment lol, sorry. This is just my opinion on the matter.

[@David-ux5wn]

A brilliant horror anime. With a very disturbing setting and an amazing soundtrack (Eau de Vie being my favorite). How you interpret this anime is up to you, but I love that it actually allows you to do so, which is rare in the horror genre. For me it is an invasive and aggressive species that is gradually becoming more human, while still not being compatible with humans. The humans on the other side show that they can be as brutal as beasts themselves, leaving no room for aggressors.

[@iojijjk8107]

When I started watching Shiki I expected a typical horror anime cliche when I saw the little girl. I thought "Ok she's the mastermind behind the killings and she's evil and crazy." I was so wrong....so so wrong. She ended up being one of the most tragic characters in a cast of already tragic characters. Shiki, while not perfect, is really one of the best horror anime ever made. And this is attributed to the wide arrange of characters and dilemmas.

[@momo_3080]

I agree. When I started watching Shiki, I didn't expect something so good. I was so wrong.... And I'm so happy that I watched this anime

We also gotta appreciate the fact that the first light novels of this series came out in 2002!! Old anime are definitely the best, anime nowadays will never be able to compete with old anime, and I personally think that Shiki will forever be the best horror anime, it’s not cliché, it’s not very predictable (I could hardly predict anything at all to be honest, I’d predict something but then something completely different would happen) it’s well thought through, none of it is rushed, the concept behind it is great yet very sinister and above all else Shiki has a very technological side to it that involves a lot of in-depth thought for you to completely understand the meanings behind it, something which most anime nowadays either don’t have, or are just very shallow with their meanings and depth. Man was Shiki deep.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Except she literally is the mastermind behind the killings. And she's doing it for an entirely selfish reason. Also it's directly stated at some point in the anime that a vampire cannot kill with a single bite/drinking session. And yet somehow she apparently "accidentally" killed someone when feeding which is why she ended up on the run? Lies.

Это заставило меня о многом задуматься и переосмыслить в некотором плане мою жизнь. Я плакала. Я пребывала в шоке. Я снова плакала и так повторялось по кругу. Иногда у меня получалось смеяться. Воистину незабываемое впечатление. Прошло почти 2 года с тех пор, как я посмотрела это аниме и зияющая пустота давно затянулась. Но шрам остался. Этот шрам иногда напоминает мне о тех мыслях, к которым я пришла после аниме. Не буду говорить какие именно мысли, но скажу, что я и сейчас прислушиваюсь к ним. Это аниме действительно потрясающее.

I watched Shiki a few years back. I'm watching it with my husband now. I can't quite remember how the doctor ends up convincing everyone that the shiki are real. So I'm just as into it as I was the first time around. Rewatching it I notice more of the foreshadowing about Natsuo. Another thing I noticed is the anime is great but I think some details got left out. Like why does everyone think Kanamasa is unlucky? They thought that even before the Kirishikis moved in. There's also important characters that don't get the screen time to make people feel personally involved with them. I love the anime I just have a few unanswered questions.

i agree with you 100%, and in the end of the series , humans prooved to be worse than shikis.

[@RockenRollTurtle]

+DrkChrome I fully agree with you.That is the whole beauty of this show. When I first watched it, I went in completely blind. I didn't know a thing about it, just it's name, so while watching it, I learned alongside the characters. In the beginning I was confounded at what was going on, working my brain overtime to construct an answer, then as the series went on and more pieces fell together, I understood. Since most of the exposition was on the human side at first, I leaned more toward them, but the more I watched and the more I learned about the shiki and their plight, suddenly, I didn't know who I supported more. One episode I was human, then next shiki. My sympathy for both sides rebounded and flipflopped episode after episode until the very end, and even during that final sequence and having to think back upon it over a year later as I type this, I still don't know who's side I'm on. Both are at fault, but both have valid reasons for their actions, and at the center of it all is their unified fear of the opposing side. It paints a powerful picture that there really is not a true 'good' or 'bad' side, just opposing forces divided by dire misunderstanding. It certainly is the most beautiful and powerful anime I've ever watched thus far.

[@safuaia5261]

+Ambiguous Tardigrade That's what I like about this series, there's not a real "justice". In the end everyone will just do what they need to live. I still don't know which side I should pick because if I was a human in Shiki, would I really want to side with them (shiki) or survive ?

[@lucai6478]

I worked on and finished a 24 episode long (animated) series, and used this song a lot to focus and immerse myself into the correct atmosphere whilst writing. It is called 'Kingdom of Hawk' and it is based on the exploits of a small rebel group led by the young and charismatic Azara, and his rise to prominence. The King (Karus) prepares his daughter the Princess (Maria) to marry into a wealthy and powerful family. Meanwhile, forces begin to collude against the rebel group, plotting their demise. It is set in a near eastern kingdom called Sisia, primarily in the capital Damascar, and other cities like Misadeen, Niniah and Rikia. It is a character driven plot that focusses on the backstory and motivations of the main cast; Azara (leader of the Hawk Rebels, the young prodigy that outwitted all the seasoned generals of Rikia), Dural (A former slave liberated by the rebels, he quickly rose up the ranks becoming Commander of the Hawk Army due to his size and power) and few more like Hikan (Archer), Reya (doctor) and Kia (female assassin). I would really like to produce a pilot episode, as i believe i can sufficiently showcase the potential of the series, the tone and unique charm of the eastern setting. However, it seems to be very expensive and i am still working on it. If i can finance a pilot, I'm sure i can finance half a season (4 episodes), eventually finishing all three seasons of the series (8x3=24).
