From the manufacturer
Shiki begins during a hot summer when an alarming number of deaths occur in a quiet village. An epidemic is suspected, but as investigations continue and bodies pile up, a horrifying truth is revealed. All hell breaks loose when the villagers discover their loved ones are rising from the grave. Haunting, hallucinogenic, and unnerving, Shiki stares into the hearts of the hunter and the hunted.
Product Description
From the studio that brought you Black Butler and Fullmetal Alchemist emerges the psychological thriller that will send you to bed with a cross in hand.
When citizens of a secluded village begin dying off in alarming numbers, the sole hospital’s head doctor tries desperately to save his patients—but his efforts are in vain. Entire families are wiped out while others desert their homes. All hell breaks loose as the villagers discover their loved ones’ corpses are rising from the grave with an insatiable thirst for human blood. Haunting, hallucinogenic and unnerving to the core, Shiki stares into the hearts of both the hunter and the hunted. Who is safe when the urge to kill in order to survive blurs the line between man and monster?

As I want to emphasize, Shiki is not for everyone; people who like their shows fast, furious, and vapid (like a generic battle shounen), who like mindless gore fests, who like conventional heroes with black-and-white morality, and who are easily disturbed by violence and moral quandaries should probably steer clear of this one. This story is told in sophisticated and deliberate manner and makes no concessions for people who want clearly defined good guys vs. bad guys. As other reviewers have pointed out, there are no winners or heroes in this story of survival and vengeance, only losers. If any of this sounds intriguing to you, please give Shiki a chance. I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed with this vastly underappreciated eldritch horror gem. Even better, the entire series is available in a highly affordable format through the S.A.V.E. series, making access to this series far easier than in the past.
*Note: I had the unfortunate experience of receiving two copies of this product in a damaged state when buying from Amazon. The top portion of the blu ray case was badly cracked on both products. (Please refer to pictures featured.) I did have to call Amazon customer service to resolve the issue before getting a copy which was (mostly) undamaged. Amazon was helpful, but having to call about damaged products is always inconvenient. My third copy has a cracked case, but it is not damaged as badly as the first two. I want to mention this as a forewarning of my experiences for any would-be buyers. Use your own discretion.

The show focuses on an entire rural community, so the first watch-through you're going to learn all the characters and their own individual stories. I think what made this so much more engrossing my second time was knowing the characters, and seeing the good and bad in each of them. The writing is great, and really provides a dark take on humanity, as the humans and vampires clash and purposefully separate themselves from their own friends and families. The characters are all very diverse, and the more you pay attention to their interactions, the more the story progression makes sense. Everyone has their sane moments, and slowly slip into madness at different periods.
The English dub is actually really good, and even though the art style annoyed me at first, I've come to absolutely adore it. The crazy hairstyles help the characters stand out, while the basic, boring landscapes emphasize just how rural and plain everything in the town is. I think it makes for a great balance, and keeps the focus where it is meant to be, on the humans and vampires.
If you like gore, you will love the two OVA episodes. I had not seen them the first time watching the series online, but this set includes those two episodes where they fit into the story, towards the very end of the show. These two episode have so much more gore and psychotic episodes than the entire rest of the series. By this point in the show, everyone has lost their sanity, and the result is pure, unadulterated chaos. The series is so much better with these episodes, and I'm so thankful for Funimation for placing them in order, rather than at the end or under Special Features.
The reversible cover is great, and although the spine of the box doesn't say Shiki on the one cover, it does have the title on the very back. I ended up placing this on my shelf so the back is visible, so it's not even an issue to me.
Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves horror, gore, and human psychology. It's a great mix and makes for a really fun ride, especially at the very end of the series. I'm still kicking myself for not getting into this sooner. It's such a great series and deserves to be watched over and over again.

El único pero es que la caja llegó de una esquina rota y los discos en la caja se safan solos debido a que llegó algo maltratada. Pero los discos estan en excelentes condiciones.

Me gustó mucho. Toda la atmósfera del antiguo japón rural entrelazada con la propia temática de la serie pega muy bien.
Se hace muy curioso ver cómo avanza la trama, es extraño. Se puede adivinar con facilidad el trascurso de la historia, pero no se hace abirrida en ningún momento. Buen final y divertida serie.
何故かDVDが再生出来なくて焦りましたが、Blu-rayの方は普通に見れたので良かったです。
A must-watch for any anime fan who enjoys bloody horror, a good mystery, and sympathy for the devil...so to speak.
This bluray/DVD combo was an absolute steal for around £15. HMV was selling the DVD only version for £40.
(A multi-region blu-ray player is the best investment I ever made.)
