Shiki (Anime) add (All reviews)

This series is so abysmal that I really think I should write a line or two about it.

TL: DR version. Shiki sucks so much that it made a 360 degrees turn and it ended sucking more. If you enjoy watching the worst characters ever made, please do.

Story: 2
I won't write a synopsis, there are already too many of them.
I gave a 2, just because the premise could be interesting. Pity is that after the 2nd episode you already know where everything is going to go, and I had to suspend my disbelief so much that it will probably have to repeat a year.
Nothing that happens makes sense, with actions driven by dumb characters that will make you jump off your seat, just by how dumb they are.

Art: 1 I could probably have appreciated some of the backgrounds, or a few animations, but the character design has hurt me so much that I think I will have to look for someone's comfort. Feels like Yu Gi Oh plus JoJo, plus dead people, but worse. I won't say much about the animation, not incredible nor awful, but I really want to point out that incredible "NOOOOOOO" scene, that gave me the chills. Like, embarrassment chills.

Sound: the only thing that actually works in the series. the dubbing is good, except for the usual, annoying creepy laughter; the music fits the moments, and the OPs and EDs are, erm... ok, I think?

Characters: 1
By now, I thought I would be used to moronic characters that just actlike morons for 12 episodes. But usually there are a few of them, you know?
Handling with a whole town of absolute idiots, for 24 whole episodes, tho, is really proving.
Apart from the design, that makes you think that these guys spent way too much fixing their hair instead of thinking logically, there is absolutely no logic behind their actions.
Whenever you see a character deciding something, in the remote chance that this happens, it's a completely stupid decision. It's so incredibly impossible to be empathetic with any of them, that I ended laughing when anyone died while the others looked with shocked eyes. The hell, it's the hundredth death, you should have at least an idea of what's happening now, don't you?

Enjoyment: 2
I manage to complete the series and actually had lots of fun watching stupid people doing moronic things, but I presume that wasn't the meaning behind the show. No, that sucked, like, a lot.
