Everything Else Looks Bad

In other news, Fate/Zero has been given a green-lit with ufotable as the animation studio.  I have a feeling this will end up being like 4 movie/ova ala Kara no Kyoukai.  Also, Girls’ Work, future Type-Moon VN, will also get an anime animated by ufotable.

My anime watchlist

Shiki (Corpse Demon)

Studio: Daume

Director: Amino Tetsurou (Macross 7)

Series Composition: Sugihara Kenji

Music: Takanashi Yasuharu (Mononoke, Toward the Terra)

Synopsis: *Based on Ono Fuyumi and Fujisaki Ryuu’s Shiki horror mystery manga.

Sotobamura is a small village with around 1300 inhabitants. It is a village which is connected to not even a single highway. An isolated village in which old customs, such as the burial of the dead, are still practiced.

One day, the corpses of 3 persons are found. Although Ozaki Toshio, the village’s lone doctor, feels uncertain, he treats the deaths as normal occurrences. However, in the days following, the villagers die one after the other.

Is this mere coincidence, an epidemic, or something else entirely?
