During a fiercely hot summer in Sotoba, a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people, a series of bizarre deaths begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moves into a long abandoned mansion in the region. Hospital dean Toshio Ozaki cannot figure out the cause of death in the deceased, initially suspecting an epidemic. As investigations continue between the hospital staff and the residents, it turns out that the village is being attacked by vampires.
Well I must say I was not sure about watching this series, most of the series I select are random this was no exception. Its just more fun to be drawn in to something understand while you watch and just love what your watching without any I suppose bias is a good word. Even so this show was epic!!! I mean Insanely gruesome, sad and the suspense just kept you on a tight hold, the story I would say was told very boldly there was no sugar coating it was just raw. I think that's the best way to describe it RAW in a good way vampire story have been done well a bit too much but in Shiki the creator managed to make it individual. I can't say more am still recovering from watching the last 5 episodes just now. WATCH the series and be blow anyway that's all I will leave you with.
