Although there are many shows with humans facing an enemy who has possible humanity, very few have the impact of Shiki. The show forces you to witness a world get torn to shreds while you struggle to figure out what is right. You may find yourself clearly rooting for one side, or like me just totally in shock by the horror of the conflict and the tragedy of the world, but either way Shiki will be a thrilling experience. If you are a fan of horror, or of other shows which question humanity (e.g. Shinsekai Yori or Parasyte) then I so strongly recommend this show.

Shinsekai yori
(Anime)
add
Shinsekai Yori is truly something special. It has an amazing story, great art and sound, and the most incredible worldbuilding I have ever seen.
The story is built around the coming of age of Saki as she learns the complex history of her world. She further experiences the conflicts that arise from this history and the truly messed up world she lives in. This anime is quite dark and very emotionally heavy, so it is not for everyone. It also asks a lot of interesting but intense ethical questions. Overall it is my top anime, and I recommend it strongly to any lovers of sci-fi and fantasy. |
