The Fall of Sotoba Village: A Discussion on the Anime Shiki

In this podcast, we take a deep look into the supernatural horror anime, Shiki. The story is set in the small, isolated village of Sotoba, where a series of mysterious deaths leads to a conflict between the remaining villagers and the risen dead, known as Shiki. We'll discuss the nature of these supernatural beings, their origins in folklore, and how the anime uses this premise to explore complex questions about humanity, survival, and what it means to be a monster.
