Plots(1)

Tomie: Unlimted follows the young high school student Tsukiko (Moe Arai). A member of her school’s photography club, the shy Tsukiko has always been in her beautiful older sister Tomie’s (Miu Nakamura) shadow, feeling inferior to her in every way. But when a freak accident causes Tomie to die, impaled right before Tsukiko’s eyes by a cross-shaped iron rod falling from atop a roof, it leaves Tsukiko suffering terrible nightmares for a whole year. After Tomie’s eighteenth birthday observation with her parents, Tsukiko’s nightmares begin to bleed into reality, with Tomie apparently coming back from the dead and taking control of everyone around her. It’s an odd, surreal, and disconnected world where Tomie becomes unstoppable, eternally multiplying, and everyone is turned into an instant psychopath — everyone but Tsukiko who is relentlessly harassed by her undead sister.
