![]() Seasons 1 and 2 of DEEN adaptation have that spooky feel to it since the answers aren’t given until later. As the story progresses secrets and mysteries get resolved, but the gore is still there, so this franchise is a perfect choice for the fans of slashers. The series always used gore to accentuate the horror aspect of its story, and once that wears off the shock value is sadly lost and the whole premise doesn’t feel as scary anymore. Higurashi is not something you can just binge, but I firmly believe that season 1 is a perfect choice for a Halloween watch. ©Fuyumi Ono, Ryu Fujisaki/Shinchosha, Shueisha/Shiki Production Committee The anime isn’t available to stream but Funimation does have physical editions of it – DVD and BluRay. Haunting, hallucinogenic, and unnerving, Shiki stares into the hearts of the hunter and the hunted. All hell breaks loose when the villagers discover their loved ones are rising from the grave. An epidemic is suspected, but as investigations continue and bodies pile up, a horrifying truth is revealed. Shiki begins during a hot summer when an alarming number of deaths occur in a quiet village. The philosophical aspect of the story was also quite intriguing, all things considered. Still, it’s a good watch and if you like horror you should definitely watch it. The mystery is there, but in the second half it devolves into a weird mix of “humans are monsters” and just overall ridiculous plot points. Shiki manages to take a cliche and make it actually creepy, by adding some absolutely terrifying moments and overall atmosphere. Vampires aren’t that scary anymore but are a Halloween must. Bonus points for completing the main storyline in 1 season. But it was still quite decent and it did pose some interesting questions.
