"Tokko" is obviously an anime of the horror genre. The story of "Tokko" is relatively simple and straightforward - boy loses parents in crazy mass murder, boy grows up and vows to avenge his parents death, boy learns that the mass murder is actually the result of some crazy zombie-creature attack, boy realizes he's more connected to the incident than he could have ever imagined. Though simple, the story is also very interesting and doesn't take much effort to follow. The artwork is pretty good, but is not the best around. The action sequences are very well animated, but other scenes can be awkwardly animated. The music is decent as well and sets the horror atmosphere of the show. Overall, "Tokko" is a good show for anyone looking for a nice, gory horror movie with a pretty good plot to compliment the blood and guts.
