Shiki is a murder mystery at it's core.
It's not. You generally know who is killing who. It's a drama with strong philosophical themes.
I give Shiki a 9/10.

Wow that's a huge, and ridiculous, generalization over all anime that comes out. That's a joke. It's true there's a lot more moe blob and ecchi stuff but that's because there's a lot more anime in general coming out, like a lot more.For me I watch ol school and a bit of new school but when it comes to anime in general the ol school was a tad over the hill than new school. Anime today is either a moeblob (Which i hate ugh... *looks at Kon -_-x) or perverse Fan service (looks at Queens Blade). Anime wont be like Kenshin (forever my fave) or berserk or beck again. Last anime I saw was sengoku basara and that had the new school flare with the ol school feel of a lot of nonsense on the screen xD. So its hard for me to look at a anime now and pick one that is my fave without it falling into the two categories I listed above. Some do stand out though from time to time.
7/10? that's pretty bad in terms of anime grading. but to each their own. I wonder if i'm gonna find another anime that has me as connected emotionally as i did Shiki any time soon. Grave of Fireflies had me in too deep. probably the greatest tear jerker anime out there in my opinion. before that was some of the characters in Texhnolyze. and before that was Haibane Renmei. I guess i'm not a huge fan of Shonen anime or manga. i think it's an overdone genre. Shoujo seems to have more room to explore. hmmm. gotta ponder that some more.Shiki got a 7/10 from me if i remember correctly. Wasn't AMAZING. Was quite good though.
What does that even mean? Anime grading isn't even a thing dude. It's a standard grading scale out of 10, and that's above average. That's all it is....... that's all it ever will be. It literally cannot be anything else.7/10? that's pretty bad in terms of anime grading. but to each their own.
