The horror.
Not with shocks - sudden shots - bloody scenes or terrifying monsters,
It is the fear of dying or being killed or losing someone dear to your heart or one of the most terrifying things when you have no choice but to kill or be killed,
This is the real horror and what we are afraid of in reality,
"Realistic horror"
This is the difference between Shiki and the rest, with its emotion and epic

"Shiki has become the best horror anime in anime history".

Where does humanity end and when does it begin? This anime is one of the most deeply psychological and heart wrenching anime I have ever seen. The horror of how the human village killed off the shiki was so real, it made me shudder. Absolute masterpiece. It showed the meaning of war, and how no one *no one* ever wins.

I never understand why soundtracks are generally underrated. People only care about the "openings" because they are easy to comprehend.

As a famous man once said, "Even your most sworn enemy who you see as pure evil is seen as a hero to his own people, just like you."

I am still not over that Nurse's death. It was heartbreaking knowing even after turning into a Shiki she didn't kill anyone but still was killed so cruelly

[ihearttails]

Every time I listen this beautiful yet sad OST I hear Nao screaming and begging for mercy and forgiveness. Gives me chills every time.

It's a very deep anime.
You can't just pick sides, since they both have good reasons.
Shiki didn't want the fate, they simply just have to live.
Humans don't want to die either.
It's like like how wolves eat sheep.
In the end, since we both have our reasons, humans and shiki both think they're right.
So in the end, it's war.
It's a perfectly executed anime, with good art, story and meaning.

The worst part of watching Shiki is that you can't watch it for the first time again..

[miltsukiya]

I watched it first time more than ten years ago and I can’t ever get over it how beautiful, haunting, meaningful and excruciating it is. Not many animes have this kind of way of touching something so deep inside. Most underrated and best anime fmo.

[robertschmidt]

This anime is probably the best psychological thriller of all time honestly. It makes you think and feel so much for just being 24 episodes.

[hiimshana]

Beautiful anime.
One of the deepest and darkest anime I've ever seen.

[Akashsama]

From the bottom of my heart, i thank Yasuharu Takanashi for giving us this and "Eau de Vie". I mean really, thank you very much, these wonderful pieces connect with my soul.

[syrahvictoria]

This anime was truly one of the most beautiful anime ever.

[Piterixos]

Thanks to this soundtrack I decided to watch the anime and I have to admit... It was worth it. 

[yukkiterukun]

Shiki has to be one of the best Anime that I have ever watched.

[laograc]

I have watched over 200 anime and shiki is the only one I scored 10/10. Truly masterpiece

[brileonn]

Hands down one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard...

[rollerfreak]

I just finished the anime. I strongly recommend it to the people who haven't watched it yet. The docter was a badass.

[Intzi]

I will never forget this anime :'(

[eddieguererro]

I always remember Sunako talking to god when i hear this song. With the church burning down all around her and her asking god why he had forsaken her, why everything happened to her the way it did, why she and the shiki have to live like they do and apologizing about becoming his enemy when it wasnt ever her choice or her fault. With the only response she got was the big guy breaking down the door, covered in blood, coming to get her with hammer.... God, this show is all about the feels man...
