Shiki
I can't believe it, but I'm watching anime again.

Last week, I watched an anime called Shiki. Shiki is old and has appeared on a lot of horror lists. I thought it was about time that I gave it a try. The art style was super weird, mostly because of the hair. I haven't been interested in anime in awhile, so my tastes have changed, and "anime hair" was really distracting. It was distracting because this was supposed to be set in a small Japanese village. It would have been much more effective if everyone had looked a little more realistic. Having half of the characters (supernatural and normal) look like crazy cosplayers really took me out of the story
Shiki is a horror anime, and finding a good one of those is pretty difficult. In the end, I didn't actually like the anime. I can't recommend it, although I know why it shows up on horror lists. I started a different anime right afterwards, and I'm much happier with that one.
