Shiki - Nao’s Story (English Version)

I always felt bad for Nao. She has one of the most tragic story in Shiki. The mother who losed both children and rest of her family and doctor's wife had also very tragic history.

Even if any one of her family rose and became shiki. They will resent Nao for murdering the rest of them.

Say what you want about the Shiki, but you can’t help but feel sorry for Nao. After all the suffering she endured as a child she finally got a chance of happiness as an adult only to die and become a undead being. All she wanted, all she deserved is to be loved and not be alone.

"Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside of us and sometimes they win." -Stephen King

i feel bad for nao , all she really wanted was to live with her loved ones , but the shiki turned her life upside down by turning her into their kind , her parents did not care for her they were busy drugging themselves and forgot about their daughter , her husband and his family at least gave her what she deserved but it was short lived after the kirishiki family moved to the village , ever since then nao attacked her family members in case any of them rises up but fate gave her a very cruel sentance which is living alone as an undead being for the rest of her life and when nao tries evading the hunters in the village's tunnels with other shikis , she expressed utmost guilt and remorse over her actions and paid the price of her doings with her life , the moral of this anime is life can be cruel and merciless to even the most innocent people and nao learned this lesson in the most painful way imaginable .

In my opinion this is one of the best horror animes ever because it gets everything right from a horror anime like story is good the soundtrack and opening is dark and I love how it stays more focused on the horror aspects of the story and leaves the action for last and I do like it how they make vampires scary again and we need more series like this

The world is a cruel place

People acting like they would just die after turning into shiki out of a pure heart when we all know how filthy humans can be when it comes to desires. Especially life. I won't justify anything the shiki did but they could've existed in some different peaceful way had the main family not corrupted them

People tend to forget that most Shiki only fed on others and didnt flee the town because they were FORCED by the main family to stay in the village. Poor Nao thought at the very least she could turn her family, probably at the sadistic suggestion of Tatsumi or Megumi (who straight up dont care about human life and are shown to laugh at people murdering their own family) so Nao was in a no-win situation ever since she first got bit.

I’m trying to rewatch shiki again but I can’t find any site… so I watch some small videos. I forgot Nao’s full history and I literally cried on this video 😭

Nao and Megumi deserved better. 😢

If she actually appreciated her family, she would've asked to be put back in her grave before murdering them.
