About Sheep's Song

Looking for background on Sheep's Song (羊のうた)? This drama and horror series by MADHOUSE and Group TAC (2003) starts out like this. The premise: Kazuna's family has a history of suffering from a disease that creates an uncontrollable vampire-like thirst for blood. Knowing none of this, Kazuna was sent to live with the Eda couple as a child.

As things develop, as the sickness begins to show signs of being present within himself, he comes into contact with his older sister, Chizuna, who has been suffering from it since early childhood. Knowing that the sickness incurs a heavy weight upon those that suffer from it, Chizuna tries to ease her brother's burden, to help him learn to control his urges, but...

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Chizuna Takashiro (Megumi Hayashibara) and Kazuna Takashiro (Tomokazu Seki) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 4 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
