| Did you start with the visual novel, the anime, manga or Melty Blood. And what was the order of the Tsukihime projects you did. |

| Well, I took things from the opposite direction. I played Melty Blood and liked the characters. I saw the anime and loved the story. I finally played the game with its sequel and totally loved it and regretted watching the anime. What about you? |
| I also played melty blood first but i haven't read the visual novel. I then watched the anime which i loved but after that i read the manga which turned out to be twice as good as the anime. |

| same with me... melty blood first, then watched the anime, then manga... haven't tried the visual novel yet... :P |
 |
| I haven't read the manga yet but it was much better than the anime. And the visual novel is much MUCH better than the manga, anime and MB all together! It's one piece of art that no one should ever miss. |
| Don't watch the anime, its terrible. You should read the manga. I posted a site were you can read it on the club info. |

| I watched the anime, it wasn't too good. I played Melty Blood and got to like Akiha. I played Akiha's path in the tsukihime H-game and ;(;(;(;( it was a VERY sad story :( Akiha needs Shiki the most |
  |
| amcsi, play Kagetsu Touya for a continuation of Akiha's true ending. |
| Yea, I want to. Is that part translated? Oh and I should finish Arc's path first. |
|
| Kagetsu Touya was translated by Mirror-Moon too. But play the PLUS Disk before you it (also translated by Mirror-Moon). But most importantly, make sure you completely finish Tsukihime with all 5 routes to fully enjoy Kagetsu Touya. |
| What's the PLUS Disk? |
|
| Check wikipedia for better info. I'm in a hurry so I'll write about it later. |
| will have to read it XD |
| |
| Saw the anime first, and despite its issues, I still loved it, especially the characters (Arcueid in particular). After that, it was basically devouring anything Tsukihime-related I could find (and eventually extending to more or less anything Type-Moon), including the VN (mirror_moon translation). I personally don't really see the point in comparing the versions to each other, instead preferring to see it as different re-tellings of the same (wonderful) story in a way suited to each medium; but if I had to pick, then obviously the VN, being the original source material, should be considered the de facto standard of what the "true and complete" Tsukihime story is. |

| Most of the people on the Beast's Lair forums (a big Type-Moon forum) deny the Tsukihime anime :D http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z278/mravix9000/Doujin/Hisuisays.jpg Really, it's too short, it misses the original VN in many ways and has flaws (Chaos cannot be killed the way Shiki killed him in the 'anime'). |
|
| currently reading XD |
| |
| Watched the anime first, a bit over a year ago, thought it was okay but not really that good, then discovered it was based on a visual novel by the same people who did the F/SN visual novel. And since F/SN occupied the 2nd best rank in my anime list, this fact got me to try reading the Tsukihime VN. I loved it and currently consider it better than any movie, series or anime I have ever seen or any novel, visual novel or manga I have ever read. After that I re-watched the anime and started playing Melty Blood. Then read Kagetsu Tohya and started buying the manga. Damn I wish the same studio who did the F/SN anime would do a complete remake of the Tsukihime anime... |
| I played melty blood firt, which got me into it. then watched the anime, but needed more... then I played the game, and I am now totally in love with tsukihime! arcueid and ciel rocks! shiki's eyes of death owns! XD |

Nath said: Read the novel. Played Melty Blood. May watch anime depending on how much time I have. I finished teh game! |
| |
| How was it Two-Hands? Pretty orgasmic I'd say! Now go play PLUS DISK and then Kagetsu Tohya. |
Rengemaru said: How was it Two-Hands? Pretty orgasmic I'd say! Now go play PLUS DISK and then Kagetsu Tohya. pretty orgasmic? hahah yeah...but I kinda didn't pay attention to the H scenes...well only a bit..ahaha! yes...I'm finding where to download them..XD |
| |
| Started with (unfortunately) the animé, then I read the first 4 manga and then I played the game, then I started playing Kagetsu Touya and Melty Blood (yet to finish either). The order I played the routes were; Arcueid TRUE, Hisui TRUE, Arcueid GOOD, Hisui GOOD, Akiha TRUE, Akiha NORMAL, Kohaku, Ciel TRUE, Ciel GOOD. Fave character is Hisui. <3 Hisui. |
| Really liked the Fate/Stay Night anime, so i researched a bit about TYPE-MOON and found the Tsukihime anime. Watched it. Loved it. Then i read the VN which caused me to fall in love with Arc and Hisui madly XD. Then after reading Kagetsu Tohya, i was temporarily loliconized by Len, but cured by Flower of Thanatos. And then i bought all the translated volumes of the manga, which is really good, waay better than the anime, but nothing can compare to the game ofc. |
| Visual Novel, then manga. Man, I wish there was an anime I could watch... I still haven't played Melty Blood, ugh. |
 |
| Visual Novel - Melty Blood - Plus+Disc - Kagetsu Tohya (currently playing) After seeing a picture of Arcueid in the anime, the existence of said anime was immediately erased from my mind. |
 |
| I started with the anime (if it's supposed to exist), then the VN, the manga and finally Kagetsu Tohya and PLUS-DISC |
| I actually took a very odd path compared to most of you, Melty Blood Manga Tsukihime Manga Tsukihime Game Tsukihime "Anime" Melty Blood Game though I knew about type moon from Fate/stay Night before I discovered the Tsukihime projects |
"I only have two modes... At war with something, or having sex with it! There is no middle ground." -Colbert   |
| first i played melty blood which was great, then the anime which was not so great, then the manga which was much better, and i just started the visual novel but so far it's amazing |
| 1. Tsukihime << Loved it ^^ 2. Melty Blood Game << Also Loved it ^^ 3. Kagetsu Tohya << Also Loved it ^^ 4. Tsukihime Anime << Regretted Watching it T_T 5. Tsukihime + Melty Blood Manga << Still Reading it but great |
| Played Tsukihime - thought it was amazing Played Melty Blood - Thoroughly enjoyed the story and combat system. The game then made me curious about Len, leading me to... Kagetsu Tohya - great read, although I found it quite confusing at times Watched Tsukihime anime - almost threw up out of disgust Currently Reading Tsukihime Manga and Melty Blood Manga - Quite good, although perhaps a little too summarised at times. |
| I did the exact same thing as Rengemaru except im still in the process of reading the VN |
 |
| 1. I saw F/SN anime and loved it 2. I watched for other Animes related to Type-Moon 3. Watched Shingetsutan Tsukihime, but it wasn't that great 4. Playing the Visual Novel right now (Finished Aruceid and Akiha, playing Ciel right now) 5. I got the Plus-Disk already and start playing this after the VN |
 |
| Read Tsukihime the manga first, and then visual novel, Melty Blood, Tsuki the anime( olol =/ so bad ), and then others T-M project. |
 |
| 1)Watching Fate and fell in love with it. 2)Playing Fate and fell in Love with it. 3)Knowing from fate that the anime will suck i started right away with Visual Novel(best choise i ever made -,-) 4)After finishing the Arc and Ciels route i watched the anime. 5)im reading the Melty Blood manga now and its really awesome and funny :) |
 |
| Watched Tsukihime Read the manga (only partway, it was only translated up til chapter 55- Haven't bothered finding any raws since I can't read japanese) Played the Visual Novel Read Melty blood manga (Same as tsukihime, it stopped somewhere) Played MB, Re-ACT, Act Cadenza. |
| Slight spoilers and huge wall of text. You've been warned. Stage set: It's 2006. A normal teenage boy (Normal as far as he knows, anyway. Doesn't everyone wear inch-thick glasses, pocket protectors and have massive acne problems because their skin doesn't get enough sun?) is browsing the internet for anime to watch. He's just finished Shigofumi and wants something else that has psycological elements. He pulled up a list, sorted it by genre, closed his eyes, blindfolded his mouse, spun it around a few times and then clicked. A Shingetsutan Tsukihime page came up. The boy went with Lady Luck's decision and watched the anime. For some strange reason, it was actually one of the better animu I.. Er, he.. One of the better anime he had watched at the time. But it felt like something was missing. Surely someone as impulsive as Arcueid wouldn't just leave someone she really liked. Surely Yumizuka wouldn't just give up on him. Surely a monster such as Chaos couldn't be defeated so easily. So I went scouting for more story. I mean, the boy. A sequel, manga, anything. Something had to be out there. And something was. It didn't take long for the boy to discover a visual novel with the same name. But of course, it was in Japanese. A quick search engine query later he had a Mirror Moon translation in his cyberphysical hand. He'd had a bit of experience with visual novels from Ever17, which his friend had loaned him a copy of and he thoroughly enjoyed, and he was more than willing to experience such enjoyment again. Thus did the boy begin to walk the path of rabid fandom. He played the novel. No, that's inaccurate. He played the hell out of the novel. In fact, he refused to to much else but read and sleep until he'd finished it. Things started to make more sense, and he grew annoyed at the odd ways the anime had strayed away from the original story. However, it was all the more liberating because he had been chained down by the limited length of the anime. Completely freed from his shackles by the end of the novel, he moved on to a game called Melty Blood. Unfortunately, three endings and a hard drive failure later, the game rests unfinshed in his CD stand, awaiting the reinstallation that is to come. The boy went through a length of depression after losing his only friend. That is, his only friend.. Other than the one he borrowed the.. Yeah. Anyway, He spent many a day in grief, crying while he hugged the mangled corpse of the old two hundred gigabyte hard drive. To make an already long story a bit longer and deviate from the point even more, the boy built a whole new PC, replacing the old drive with a bonus of fifty gigabytes for about half the price, and he even met up with a five hundred gigabyte external drive off of a dating service called Newegg. They hit it off well and their relationship is still progressing further and further with each passing day. That all aside, the boy went around looking for more Type-Moon projects. He discovered Fate/stay, but refused to play it until the translation was complete, so he watched the anime and then resigned himself to lurking endlessly on IRC channels with the small hope he might be able to help somehow. The chance came eventually, but he blew it because he was passed out on the keyboard due to the crash after last night's 'hardcore gaming' session. When he came to, he mumbled something about needing four more levels and began nursing his waffleface. The call for help had ended and voice insertion progressed as normal. Suddenly a few days later, the patch was completed, and he jumped on it. He had the game finished in less than a week and was left with nothing to do because a murderous squirrel had chewed through his cable line a few days before and Comcast was taking forever to get someone out to fix it. They proceeded to charge him cable fees for the month he was without internet. He appealed it, of course; he didn't have any service and it was their damn fault for not getting someone out to fix it. But they said it was somehow his fault, and charged him for it anyway. During this appeal time, he found another game called Battle Moon Wars. He's currently still playing it, albeit slowly since it's so damn long and contains spoilers for Fate/hollow ataraxia, which hasn't been fully translated yet (to my knowledge, anyway. I'm too tired to look into it right now). A month and a half passed; it was then January of 2009. Ferios--I mean, no, the boy. Actually more of a man by that point. Anyway, the young man had just recieved his Tsukihime disk back from the friend he loaned it to (the same one that had loaned him Ever17, actually). It's more accurate to say that his friend had put it on the young man's desk (or so he claims) when he brought it back because the young man was not in the house when his friend came over. Unfortunately, a psycho cat had other ideas about where CDs should be stored. The young man came home, lazily shrugging out of his jacket and kicking off his shoes as he went over toward the computer. He heard a snap and froze in place, slowly lifting his foot up from the ground. Horror flooded over him, for he had just stepped on and broken his favorite visual novel of all time. He quickly browsed over to eBay and snagged a new copy without really stopping to read product details. To his delight, the package that he unknowingly bought was actually the release that contained both the PLUS disk and Kagetsu Tohya in addition to the original game, Tsukibako. He snatched up translations for both and played them in the order written above. In fact, he finished the main story of Kagetsu (and thoroughly rewrote a terrible and largely incorrect walkthrough for it) just last weekend. If you've read this far, I have to applaud your diligence. As of right now the young man is spending his days honing his skills in Act Cadenza while he gloomily awaits the release of Sacchin's arc that still hasn't made it into any of the fan disks. Sad face. And no, he still hasn't gotten around to reading the manga yet. |

| I first watched the F/SN anime on Animax, then I looked it up in Wikipedia & found out that it was inspired from a visual novel (I didn't even know what a visual novel is in the first place), then I played the Visual novel (Fate Route), kinda liked it, so I looked for previous works by TYPE-MOON & found the Tsukihime Visual Novel, played it, finished all routes, then completed all routes of F/SN, Tsukihime Plus+ Disc & Kagetsu Tohya as well, came across the english dub of the Anime(Tsukihime) (Got disgusted of the alterations & left it, I think it doesn't do justice to the Game). Also I finished the Melty Blood Manga. Currently reading Tsukihime Manga. |

Order is: Tsukime manga, Tsukihime VN, Kara no Kyoukai light novels, FSN VN/anime, Kagetsu Tohya, Melty Blood after manga i started "so-called" Tsukihime anime.It was disgusting.They made Shiki like a sissy =_= so i dropped it. |
