Abandoned by his parents at the age of three, Takashiro Kazuna was sent to live with relatives and has grown up in the care of his aunt and uncle. Now in high school, Kazuna begins having reoccuring dreams of blood and death. Not knowing where to turn, he returns home to his parent’s house to find Chizuna, his younger sister living alone in the big empty house. He learns from his sister that his father committed suicide some six months earlier, a fact that was intentionally hidden from him. When Chizuna learns about his dreams, she explains that he is suffering from the Takashiro family disease – a curse which causes an uncontrollable craving for blood – a curse that has already taken the lives of his parents and that Chizuna has been suffering from since childhood – a curse that is now beginning to effect him.

Hitsuji no Uta
What a depressing series this is. This series would have worked better as a live action drama, but it is done as an animation. Almost a third of the series is retrospective, presented in black and white format, which is an interesting twist. But the story is still very bleak, dark and desperate, which left me with an unfulfilling and bitter aftertaste.
