Anime is fantastic whoever told you otherwise needs to kill himself.

The humans were the real monsters

Fuck that faggot monk and the genocidal loli

Recently watched it- my two cents
Is essentially THE Vampire anime if you literally want an actual anime that has vampires that operate in the same vein as the ones you get in the 'reports' founded by witchhunters and towns where recorded vamp activity is from, the visual presentation in the first couple of episodes mirrors this to a fine detail- to explain further; a good chunk of the vampire tales you can read about always have the nature of the vampires be something that isn't entirely concrete- that is to say, accounts, and the stories involving them- as the actual accounts of combating them come from those who are victims, and the accounts are odd as they are spoken in a very dreamlike phase, where the vampire activity is based around accounts of them incurring on a victim near sleep/insoniac periods of lucidity between reality and what the victim thinks is a dream- in Shiki, it's explained later as a result of hypnotism and blood lost from getting bitten, and the means in explaining HOW bloodsucking causes fatalies- whilst excellent, make it seem as if the vampire isn't actually a physical undead entity but more like a thing that isn't of the world and is closer to well- psychic vampirism- in a sense. imagine if a vampire is actually a still-thinking corpse that sucks blood via a manifested tulpa/fill in that does the dirty work, and it only 'exists' in the minds of those that knew it in life- using the victims lifeforce as a means of actually getting it's own body to work a dangerous mimetic psychic virus in theory- the thems include hearing outside activity, seeing eyes, dreaming of the loved one who is a vampire- a lot of it makes people and others think that the vampire isn't all a part of the world like how you'd see one in common media- they're things that exist- though to such a lesser degree, that it's unknown if they're not some sort of phenomena and only die if the source is dealt with, by destroying it's anchor in the hearts of others.

Anyhow- Shiki only mirrors these very common themes shared in real vampire tales for the first half- in a sense, the depiction of the vampires changes in a manner which I can describe more or less as a sub-genre shift- the vampires become closer to how they'd operate in Salem's lot- for comparison- and by the end- what was supernatural becomes normal- or simply another enemy/xenophobia-incurring threat that need not be understood and destroyed for the betterment of the whole- I know that the monk's storyline runs a theme of empathy and understanding removing barriers between man and vamp, but honestly, that crap wasn't really a thing that I'd call the eye-catching important part- the real meat is in Shiki's direction and well- master level filmography and presentation- in effect, imagine if the dreamy-lucid "can't tell if real/threat obscured" moments were present in all of this, the anime maintaining the idea that "There's nothing concrete on it actually being vampires" by limiting the Kinshiki's and their interactions with others, like in the real tales where things only end when a vampire get's the stake and the corpse spills fresh blood but never actually gives true closure or indication of a corpse being a vampire because of an actual lack of physical evidence leaving people to wonder, It'd be better IMO

Effectively, a setting where it's never explicitly shown if the Kinshiki's are vampires, where the walking dead occur, but at the same time are never seen active beyond moving shadows, eyes in the dark, and calling to their loved ones, where the attacks occur in periods of lowered conscious activity and the viewer is caught between dream, reality, and fake-outs, where the only indication of this being vampires is the Doctors diagnosis from autopsy, and the idea he might actually be insane, as obscuring the tests he ran on his wife would play into this- he could've actually in delirium or insanity, done all of that post mortem, and everything going to shit runs like that shit Johan liebert pulls in the end of Monster- the town goes mad- It's never known if it was vampires, those slain look no different from the living, there are no bodies of the alleged undead, bar those excessively mutilated, the Kinshiki's having a stone hard alibi- and other such things.

But it went from "Holy fuck, just like how Vampire:His Kith and Kin wrote it" to Salem's lot to- Dusk to dawn level, the dusk till dawn part being the killing and effortless infections.

I really liked the OST.

I bet MC was closet gay

I remember watching some video by Digibro or some other youtube fucktard that said the TRUE HORROR was the villagers killing the vampires as if ending a clear existential crisis was a bad thing. baka desu.

It was alright but nothing spectacular. I definitely feel they could have made better use of their time when it came to explaining things and setting up characters and plot points. My only real gripe is that I really wasn't a fan of how some of the characters ended up and the choices they made. Other than that its just a decent vampire story. But seriously its kinda hard to play the sympathy card when your main inforcer is a murderous sadist.

It really is a dumb point to try and argue for. If they had gone a different route and actully tried to have the vamps coexist or simply offer to turn people they grew close to it would have made more sense.

don't know haven't seen

I always thought it was a heartwarming affirmation of humanity, basically a Japanese Salem's Lot.

Imagine if you work in 7/11. You have a coworker, Bob. Bob fucking sucks, he's fat, he's sweaty, he jerks off in the toilet and farts a lot. But then literal blood-suckers come out of the woodwork, holy shit where did they come from, you swear there weren't this many, and you and Bob are doing the tunnel-rat thing, going into the dark crannies of the earth to burn them out with Molotov cocktails like you're fighting the Viet fucking Cong.

And you fight side-by-side, because Bob is human and they aren't. And when you're knee-deep in the dead, Bob is your blood brother.

That was the best part of the show friendo

Implying you wouldn't betray your village to fuck a vampire loli.

And then Richard, that pot smoking fuckstick who always shows, complains about not having a gf, and up and steals merchandise, betrays you because a cute vampire girl winked at him.

Please don't bully Sunako, she had a hard life!

I know, right? Fucking Richard.

Goddamn, Richard. Bob had to blow himself up by mixing Mentos and Sprite, all because of you. You shame the name of 7/11.

would you betray humanity for vampire pussy?

No, it's stale.

This actually made me laugh, because now I'm imaging the scene where Natsuno blows himself up, except it's a fat guy tearfully shaking a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.

I agree, it feels like a missed chance.

Basically this

fuck monk and vampire niggas
would hate fuck that goth lolita tho

Doc did literally nothing wrong

>be doc in small town
>everybody starts kicking the bucket thanks to some weird wasting disease
>your friends and family start to die and it falls to you to give the bad news to their next of kin
>your wife dies
>oh shit its vampires
>oh shit your wife's a vampire
>introduce your wife to medical science
>tell the town about the vamp threat and to kill those abominations
>your best friend betrays you for a fucking monster because she's the only person on earth who read his goddamn biography
>damn traitor makes sure the head fucking vampire gets away while the actual good vampire sacrifices himself

Doc was a good boy

The build up was very slow and well done, but it was so jarring when the story picks up so fast, so rushed and suddenly everyone in the village is aware of the vampires. Seeing the vampires getting btfo was the best part. The worst thing of the ending was the monk ass pull he becomes a werewolf
Still was a fun ride overall

No, but I’d do it for vampire cunny

Unironically this. Only good thing about the show was the gore and panic. The overarching twilight fujobait does nothing for this show.

I'm all for fucking vampire lolis but Sunako is unlikeable.
I expect vampire lolis to also be intelligent and she was dumb as a rock.

Wasn't she raised in a box or something?

Dumb lolis deserve love too

She's likeable because she's dumb. Despite being a 100 years killer she's actually just a little girl looking for friends, and for that dumb dream of a vampire village, a place to exist, she kills and tortures hundreds. It's sad actually. That said she still deserved the stake.

What is this balance and everyone losing being nice? They were vampiric monsters that didn't exactly hit people up for a cup of blood.

The moment the doc revealed he had already been bitten was hype.

Not really, more like coexistence is not possible between humans and vampires. The vampires wanted to genocide a village and got killed by humans

more like Sunako, the ungrateful little shit wouldn't be satisfied until every human was sucked dry.

And this children, is why you have to uphold the Masquerade
