Tsukihime

[Nightbat]

I believe I have AreaSeven to thank for it (or some BT synopsis site )

has a Mahoromatic/hanaukyo Maids scenery with the artwork between FLCL

and X/1999 (<-especially the gore 'n stuff) maybe some Wicked city too

(no, no real nudity, everythig's done with taste!)

not really action packed but backed by a very good story

This is mostly a character driven series where everyone has a secret

though sometimes a bit predictable and the main character looks like an

inbetween of Shinji from EVA and Suguru from Mahoromatic

there's mystery, but not in a threatening way

certainly not boring (saw all 12 eps in one night,... if it's boring I wouldn't' have

been able to stay awake)

all in all a very good show

any other opinions?

Maybe knowledge of the game spoiled it for me...but the anime was crap IMHO. Lots were left out, and almost no characters got their character development. Everything was centered around Arc and Shiki, and everything was about their little dates which was bleh. Kinda disappointed. It had so much more potential since it had so much material from a game with an uber storyline.

PS: Notice that Satsuki was reported missing in the TV report during the hotel incident...but then she turns up in school saying she was sick and did not go for her b'day dinner. Oops? And in the game, she turns into a vamp and dies in the hands of Shiki.

I thought the anime was ok. Coulda used more Ciel tho Oh well, there's always the Melty Blood game

Very nice show, but I'd love to get my hands on the games. Anyone know where I can get them?

You can buy it here, along with recently released Melty Blood ReAct.

I thought the anime was ok myself. Although sometimes the action felt lacking.

Sorry about that

anyway, maybe I enjoyed it since I didn't play the videogame (I never even knew

of it's existence)

There are a few games out for Tsukihime. Most of them are interactice visual novels also known as dating sims or bishoujo games. The 1st one was Tsukihime, made by an online community of fans who love hentai dating sims (example: MW is online community of macross fans) and decided to make their own hentai dating sim. Thus Tsukihime and the company known as Type-moon was born. They made some 2 or 3 other Tsukihime games and then there was Melty Blood, a fighting game using Tsukihime characters and an update to it which came out this month, Melty Blood ReAct. After Tsukihime, there was Fate/Stay Night, with art improving very much since Tsukihime. (Tsukihime had quite ugly CG art since it was fan made but it progressed to commendable levels with each new game release)

So there you have it. You would only buy the game if:

1.) you understand Jap

2.) You're a pervert and just wanna look at the ero pictures and don't care about the jap.

Go google and search for tsukihime. There's a site hosted on geocities which is pretty definitive of all things tsukihime and type-moon. I'd do it for you but i'm off to work.
