Description

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?

The story of Natsuno and Toru's friendship became a separate drama for me personally.

There were so many chances to help each other, or at least to explain themselves, but for some reason none of them were used. It seems to me that if Toru had explained to Natsuno that if he hadn't bitten him (Natsuno), other shiki would have killed someone from his (Toru's) family - if he hadn't forgiven, then at least he would have understood.
I sincerely feel sorry for Thor - to die like this, knowing that your once best friend now hates you.

I would also like to mention Ritsuko is a character, she is, of course, not very bright, but a wonderful person. She was also very sorry.

Если кто-то ещё не смотрел, и думает, смотреть или нет, стоит предупредить:
как мне показалось, тут упор больше именно на драму, чем на ужасы.

И как кто-то писал на ютубе:
I just wanted to get scared, not depressed. (c)

Say what you will, but in the last episodes the villagers have completely lost their minds: killing once (!) bitten is already too much.
The scene with Megumi is brilliant. Serves her right.

Anime has become one of my favorites. It really makes you wonder who is really a monster, and who is more human (and I don't care that such a topic has already been raised hundreds of times).
After I finished watching it, I roared for 8 days. It's rare that something catches me like that.
Some people consider the Elven Song to be a masterpiece of its kind, but somehow it turned out easier for me: I looked, I cried, I forgot. And then something started to analyze, to figure out possible options on the topic "what would have happened if Sunako had never visited this village, how life would have turned out for our already familiar heroes", "what would have happened if no one had ever bitten her like that."

Тоору так и не узнал, что Натсуно воскрес...
