All I can say is this is a fantastic mini- series. I stumbled across this on you-tube and out of curiosity, started watching it. I was hooked from them first episode, and I ended up watching it throughout the night. It is one of the strangest and most interesting shows in anime that I have ever seen and although I watched it in Japanese (with subs, of course), that didn't make it any less entertaining.
Spoilers: The main character in this show is Shiki, a senior high schooler who can see death lines in people after he had a terrible accident when he was young. At the beginning of the show he moves in with his sister (who is much more than she appears to be)after being away from home for a number of years. He soon meets Arcueid, a vampire whose job it is to keep other other vampires in check, but also one in particular called Roa. Arcueid is incredibly naive about the modern day world, having only just awoken from her sleep, and killed by Shiki once already, she finds herself experiencing feelings and emotions she hasn't in centuries. In her weakened state, Arcuied forces Shiki to help her, and both precede to battle several mean vampires throughout the show.
As I said, this show is very interesting. All the characters have depth to them, and many are not what they appear to be. There are plenty of plot twists and turns to keep the viewer guessing what's going to happen next.
Apparently this is based on a PC game... one which I am going to get!
