I'm going to keep this short and brutally honest. I didn't really like Shiki...
It has interesting characters, a solid back story, and clear motivation for the characters... but that said... meh. It doesn't really end so much as leave room for a sequel never to come, so you feel like you've read the first half of a book. Which is sad to me because it had a lot of potential. If it had lead to something cool, it would have gotten a higher rating, especially because it has one of the creepiest scenes I've ever seen in an anime, gave me chills...
Still though, not jaw dropping, and the ending isn't worth the wait.
