Even though it lacks the yoai factor from the game it still has a pretty awsome storyline. I enjoy all the mystery and suspense and the fight scenes are graphic but lovely to any fan of bloodshed. The animation and art is really quite breathtaking in my opinion especially with Shiki and his crimson eyes and katana. I really do recomend this series for anyone who love action and mystery with a little bit of suspense
