shiki (the only thing scary is the amount of medical terminology o.o)

pros
+ has a bearing on reality (apathetic and unthinking people of the town)
+ good dialogue and chara development
+ interesting plot
cons
- starts off annoying (painful bliss of ignorance!! freaks -.-)
- ending leaves you with questions
- average animation

conclusion: a classic story based on society, with a connection to reality, playing on some unexpectedly deep questions. strikes a delicate balance of horror, mystery, suspense and competition. the plot is well-structured once it starts off, although it certainly will not answer each and every question. only? it's not scary, other than for its amount of medical terminology. whatever... good seiyuu, good music, though somewhat bloody and not recommended for the kids. the animation isn't great for the release date, but if you don't mind that, it's a nice one recommended to the more mature mystery lovers around.

peace.
