By far the best horror anime. Builds a terrific atmosphere and the monsters can be truly horrifying.

__This review was originally written in July 2021, published as a YouTube video on my channel.__
Let’s talk for a minute about expectations: part of the reason why I like going into any entertainment knowing as little as possible is because that way, the show can happen to me as u…
Read full review on AniList →The world is a vampire
Lord Ruthven had been roaming the night for about 40 years by the time Capital made the metaphor explicit. Vampires are—traditionally—aristocrats and landlords, beings unable to create (produce), devoid of life, that can only exist through taking it from others. Class is as much a part of the myth a…

~~~__This review contains some vague spoilers (as in, I may describe a few earlier scenes, but won’t name the characters involved, etc.)__~~~
Of any genre, horror seems to be one in which what works for one person is not going to work for another. There’s a reason why horror fans never seem to ag…

_“When you became isolated from the world, you were excluded from ***’s jurisdiction at the same time.” _
Shiki is a show with many faces, wearing comedy, horror and drama on its sleeve simultaneously. After all, in what other show would you have a person speaking candidly about fears of their ow…

Shiki is one of the best anime I have watched way back 2011 when I was a child. I have watched it once again and it actually enlightens me on what is the meaning of their respective deaths. It left me a fascinating question on who is right and wrong; are these the villagers or the Shikis?
