Don't believe the positive reviews! There's a reason why there's no season 2!

I've watched the entire series and I can see why there's no season 2 and none is expected. I've read the following reviews and everyone is praising the anime for its animation and it being a well-written story.

Although I found the animation to be beautiful, I can't say the same for the storyline. Its mundane and filled with so many religious overtones that it takes away from the viewer enjoying what could have been a successful anime series. I don't want to give away too much but the ending was hard to stomach because of something that the local priest, Seishin Muroi said that the Shiki wasn't at fault and that God had abandoned them. This seems to be the centralize theme of the series which is trying so hard to stand out and not be your typical vampire anime.

Shiki is a success in Japan as a Manga and truthfully, should remain a Manga.

score 1/10
