I asked the #AnimeVice IRC channel (on irc.irchighway.net!) what I should do my next supper spotlight on, and user Void_Wizard suggested I do something "gruesome." What could be simpler?   <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TZKNIhMqBH4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TZKNIhMqBH4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385" wmode="transparent"></embed></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object>   Title: Shiki - Corpse Demon Genre: Horror/Mystery Based On: A novel series by Fuyumi Ono (Twelve Kingdoms, Ghost Hunt) Studio: Doumu URL: http://www.okiagari.netStory: Natsuno Yuuki is forced to move from his pleasant city to a quiet, presumably boring village called Sotoba, where there also is a hospital helmed by one Toshio Ozaki. Shortly thereafter, the Kirishiki family moves into a abandoned old mansion and shortly thereafter begin the mysterious deaths. The story revolves around Toshio and Natsuno as they deal with the deaths that surround them. Notable:First and foremost, this will be Gackt's first regular role in an anime series, as he plays a member of the strange Kirishiki family.The man in charge is Tetsurou Amino, best known for directing Macross 7, the SD Gundam OVAs, and the recent Lupin III: The Last Job special.Yasuharu Takanashi will be composing music-- he's worked on titles like Naruto, Fairy Tail, and Gantz, so you should expect a pretty solid BGM.  Images: Sounds a little bit up the alley of Higurashi fans to me, although with perhaps a little less by way of moe harem. I loved the J.C. Staff anime adaptation of author Fuyumi Ono's Ghost Hunt, so I'm looking forward to Shiki-- even though horror really doesn't do it for me most of the time. How about you?
