Reviews

Shiki easily became one of my all-time favorite anime. Why? Because of the story! I watched SHiki without having read anything about it at all. I have no prior knowledge to what it was about. So I dove in and watched, asking myself so many questions. What is this about? What's going on int hat village? At first I honestly though it was about zombie or something like that. Corpses rising from the grave. Then it became apparent.

Story: 10/10

I absolutely love the story and it's pace. It's enthralling. It's one of those stories that put you to think (well if you don't already know better), It explores controversial topics about life and death, and existence. It's not an annoying take on vampires, so this one is good.

Art: 7/10

I must admit the art threw me off a bit, but I easily looked passed it. It was different from the anime art I've been accustomed to. I got used to it quite fast though.

Sound: 10/10

I love the soundtrack of this anime. My favorite OST track is "Eau de Vie".

Character: 9/10

A few characters are annoying as hell but the main characters are awesome. Especially the doctor! He was the one trying to put a scientific view into the story. The logical one. He made everything feel REAL.

Enjoyment: 10/10

Yeah! Of course!

Overall: 10/10

A well composed anime if you can look pass the art like I did. I hope you enjoy if you decide to watch it. I'll try to get the light novels for my library. I'd definitely read them.
