Shiki is available for streaming on the FUNimation website, both individual episodes and full seasons. You can also watch Shiki on demand at Hulu, Apple TV and Crunchyroll.
Story: Shiki is what happens when a horror movie is stretched over 22 episodes. The suspense builds over the first 3 or 4 episodes, allowing only glimpses of the storm brewing beneath the surface.
For example, a sickening “THUNK” accompanies each impaling, and blisters bubble on the surface of dead skin in a manner akin to molten lava. Truly, this anime is not ideal for those with a weak constitution.AnimationShiki manages to exude an unsettling vibe throughout.
Though the shiki are established as the antagonists fairly quickly, this show isn’t about vampires or the undead, but more about the nature of humanity and the lengths people will go to in order to survive. The series promises mystery, intrigue and the undead, but in truth it delivers so much more.
In addition to the steady mystery, intrigue, and moral questioning, Shiki provides the viewer with a reasonable amount of gore. While not always horrifically explicit – most of the action appears just off screen – certain parts can cause your stomach to lurch and send chills down your spine.
Somehow in 2 days, Black Butler, Black Butler 2, Shiki, and both seasons of Code Geass were, what, deleted?? They were catalog titles CR got from Funimation during their partnership, which just ended. Those titles were removed from Crunchy Friday night.
The anime Shiki is definitely worth watching. It offers a lot of excitement while keeping you anxious and curious to know what sort of malicious presence or entity is plaguing them and why.
It's available on Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, ITunes, and the first 4 episodes are available for free on Funimation's official YouTube channel (dubbed). It's 22 episodes (About 22 minutes each), plus an optional 2 episode OVA if you're interested in exploring the lore more.

Shiki. Many anime fans will probably mention Shiki as the one of the scariest series they've ever seen. Based on a horror novel by Fuyumi Ono, Shiki soon became a manga series and then later became this popular anime series.
Shiki. No Halloween/gore/general anime list is complete without Shiki. New people move to small village, villagers start to get sick and die.

Good series, two parts and dubbed.
'Shiki' season 2 is unlikely to happen, so we don't expect the season 1 cast to return anymore.
It's an open-ended finale. After the credits, there are still 30 seconds that you might have missed. All this is conjecture: the village burned but as fire pass away (purification) the survivors rebuilt it and the villagers' life goes on.

From beginning to end, Shiki's tale is a masterwork commentary on the nature of evil within the human soul and the tenuous lines that those of virtue must walk in order to combat it, and carried within this is an elegant weave of melancholy, anger, sorrow, and hope that define man when pushed to the brink.
In addition to the steady mystery, intrigue, and moral questioning, Shiki provides the viewer with a reasonable amount of gore. While not always horrifically explicit – most of the action appears just off screen – certain parts can cause your stomach to lurch and send chills down your spine.
While a more popular mainstream western series like “The Walking Dead” rather brashly flaunts its central motif of “in the apocalypse, other humans are more dangerous than the zombies” at the forefront of its story, Shiki is far more subdued and nuanced in how the vampiric threat manifests tragedy within the village.
