Sunny Saturday (July 24th, 2010)
So I don’t know the schedules for some on Saturdays, but when it’s sunny outside, I sway to stay in the indoor shade and search for suitable struggles to stipulate myself to; such is the sadness of sun sensitive skin (I sparkle, seriously). Subsequently, my schemes involve the searching of series of spirited significance and spending my time seeing them.
How fortunate here I happen to hazard upon a horror production. Happenstance and ‘how so’s aside, happily I’ll humor you to the haunting story of a hot summer in an hardy hamlet an hour north of any hefty population. Of heroes, it honestly would be hasty to yet herald who and how. However little has yet to be revealed, here are my thoughts on the history thusfar.
(Click on the pictures for more character descriptions)
- She’s dead. But I don’t know for how long….
- He has white hair, he might be a bad guy.
- I’m pretty sure he’s the protagonist.
- Kinda meh so far but I think he’s an important character
- I doubt he’ll be really important, but I hope he lives.
- She has good manners at least.
- Here I thought this image might sum up the series; only it needs more darkness.
- Is my favorite character and if he dies, it will be in a bad ass way and I will cry.
- Ki-nda out of place, don’t you think?
- Embarissingly, I don’t know how to not make it do this. :/
It’s kinda innoxious, but it turns out a lot of older people keep ending up dead. However it instigates a sense of imagination that in as far as it is a local young girl, Megumi Shimizu, that soon dies mysteriously; though I suspect an interesting comeback. If it is to be so, I also suspect it will be by some supernatural plot device related to Natsuno Yūki/Koide (pink hair + blue hair = love) who I also imagine that won’t die. It remains to be identified if anyone else will survive. If Toshio dies I will be sad. I’ll bet that Seishin dies though. Also it seems this all is due to the arrival of a new family on the outskirts of the town who now occupy a European styled castle; likely some sort of unearthly group.

Isn't that castle in ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-nda a strange location?
(This was mostly just an excuse to spell ‘Shiki‘ 24 or so times by alliteration and such. There’s not much else to say about this series yet. The animation looks good, and the plot shows promise, everything looks alright. You can watch Shiki online on Funimation.com)
