The story takes place in a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people which is ''isolated '' from the outside world. During summer, a series of death begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moved into a mansion that was long abondoned in the village. The root cause to the death was not confirmed. Ozaki Toshio , a doctor who works in the clinic suspects that it is a new kind of epidemic that is spreading throughout the village. At the same time, the death troll starts to pile up everyday. After much investigation , Toshio and Natsuno Yuuki a teenage boy who has just moved into the village not long ago, beings to suspect that the deaths in the village has something to do with the strange family that has just moved into the village.
Like i said , this anime has some killing and blood sucking scenes but it is definitely not gore. Yeah, so people who has a weak heart, you can try this too :D Despite saying all these, it does not mean that it is not scary or what. Its horror themes does serves its purposes. At the start of the story, it may seems pretty boring. Everything is set at suspense, which you can't really figure out which direction is the story going. However, as the mysteries starts to reveal itself, it will gets more and more exciting. Yes, when i was watching it, i often find myself drawn to it. You will get tends to expect more and more from the anime. So plot wise, i think it did a pretty good job. There is one thing you have to take note is that you must get used to death. I am saying this because you can expect to see people dying in every episodes. Where you can see funerals and funerals Well, pretty a sadist anime.
The twist in the story is pretty good too. The twist totally give a complete overturn of the story itself. Pretty nicely done i should say. The story itself also kind of reflects the society and mankind now. Where the society would do anything for their own survival. It kinds of shows the cruel side of life. Also if you are the kind that feels very emotional, this anime would definitely sent your tears rolling down your cheeks. There are still some minor imperfection that are inherent in all anime. The characters are kind of misleading as it focus on a variety of characters. So it makes me kind of confused that which one is the main character. The ending is also kind of unclear here. You know is like the feeling of expecting something from a show then it just ends. Yeah, so i feel that it should just focus just a bit more on the ending.
Now lets go on to the song part... Well it is a pretty short anime, so it only has 2 opening and 2 ending. Anyway here goes.
1.Kuchizuke by Buck-Tick (OP 1)
2.Walk no yakusoku by Nanqi (ED 1)
3.Calendula Requiem by Kanon X Kanon (OP 2)
4.Gekka reijin by Buck-Tick (ED 1)
I strongly recommend Calendula Requiem to people who likes fast pace and catchy songs. Yeah definitely one of the best. You can also check out others songs by Kanon X Kanon which i think are pretty nice too. Well all in all, the anime is pretty awesome. Well comparing with other ''vampire'' anime like vampire knight, it lose out in the characters part. However being plot wise, it is definitely better. Well be sure to catch up with my updates. Thats all for now...
Ciao su~~
