Tune in as Marie Nicola (Alt.Pop.Repeat) pops back onto 2CC for a breakdown of Shiki, the 2010 horror anime series about a secluded and quiet village that becomes plagued by what initially seems like a fast-moving and ruthless anemia epidemic, but actually turns out to be a growing clan of vampires. The difference between cinema and animation from Western and Eastern regions, the deep pit of moral ambiguity and nihilism that Shiki plunges itself into, the tragic arc of Sunako, and vampirism often being an experience that’s forced onto its victims land as a few of the talking points on this episode.Created by Fuyumi Ono and Ryu Fujisaki, Shiki stars:• Japanese cast:Tōru Ōkawa, Haruka Tomatsu, Kazuyuki Okitsu, Aoi Yūki, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Wataru Takagi, Kōki Uchiyama, Haruka Nagashima, Keiko Kawakami, Nozomi Sasaki, Gackt, Ari Orikasa, Shin’ya Takahashi, Miki Itô, Kôji Ishii, and Ken’ichirô Matsuda.• English cast:David Wald, Tia Ballard, John Burgmeier, Cherami Leigh, Chris Burnett, Ian Sinclair, Jerry Jewell, Alexis Tipton, Luci Christian, Colleen Clinkenbeard, J.
