Shiki OST - Full Soundtrack

The Shiki anime is an adaptation of the Shiki manga series drawn by Ryu Fujisaki, which is itself an adaptation of a novel series of the same name by Fuyumi Ono. The story happens in a small isolated town in rural Japan named Sotoba, where a series of bizarre deaths occur, coinciding with the arrival of the Kirishiki family who has just moved into a castle built on the outskirts. Toshio Ozaki, dean of the only hospital in Sotoba, begins to investigate and discovers there are supernatural presences at work, namely vampires, who are called shiki, which translates to English as "corpse demon."

The series premiered on Fuji TV, Kansai TV, Tōkai TV, and their affiliated stations on July 8, 2010. Funimation simulcast the series one hour after its initial broadcast in Japan, with English subtitles. The first of the DVDs and Blu-ray of the anime were released on October 27, 2010 by Aniplex. The complete-series box set, including an English dub and two OVA episodes, came out in June 2014.

Each episode title is a homophone pronunciation for the Japanese numerals using On'yomi, with each phrase mostly related to death or the corruption of the physical body, both common themes in the series. Dates are followed by the Rokuyo designation for that particular day, giving the good-fortune prediction for the day.
