I also didn't know why I haven't watched this anime yet.

It is so cool. Also, the VA of Shirou is also Tohno? LOL!

It also reminds me of Sasuke.. Ouch! LOL!


Love it!

Its confusing... *speechless*

What is going on?



Perhaps, I should watch the entire series before knowing what is going on. Shingetsutan Tsukihime is one of the TYPE-MOON series that branched out to 7 movies: Kara no Kyoukai, as well as many games such as the Melty Blood series. The sound of that is very interesting yet this first episode of the main anime is confusing..

I wouldn't call Shiki a coward, you know. He's just Ordinary High Schooler who just got thrown neck deep into crazy shit. This is bound to become real awesome.

BTW, poor Shiki who lives in a Nazi household :S

All the small differences to the VN bother me. It's because there are too many of them.

And you people should read the VN instead of watching this crap. If anything, you should watch this afterwards.

Wow, my first time playing through a Visual Novel and then watching the adaptation. A full-length "novel" versus a 12-episode anime series. I was expecting it to be shortened, but this was like... plot dump plot dump plot dump, rushing through everything. Compared to the novel, this went through things so damn fast, I can understand how it's confusing to first-time viewers.

Well, at least I hope that going this fast, it'll cover a bit of each ending, not just Arcueid's. I'm interested in seeing a bit of Hisui's and Kohaku's routes adapted.

Nice music and I like the gothic feel of things.

After seeing Baccano and Steins Gate I've learned not to be discouraged by confusing first chapters. Things should be cleared up soon enough.

Finishing Carnival Phantasm I really wanted to check out this one.
I didn't have much expectations though, because its so old (2003)
The shows been done by a different company named J.C Staff.

All I can say its quite vague and more serious than FNS and maybe on par with Fate Zero and Kara no Kyoukai.

Don't like it. I thought people hated it because the story does it's own thing, but I'm already considering dropping it. Maybe having Carnival Phantasm as my first time seeing these characters animated and voiced spoiled me, but this is just hard to watch. Maybe once I get the pre conceptions of the characters based on the VN out of my head it'll be better.

Well I've heard this is the anime the fandom rejects as ever being created.
I've not read the VN or manga but I am interested so far. I like that everything is a bit eerie and unexplained. As long as there are explanations eventually, I'm happy to wait.

This episode was way too rushed compare to the VN. LMAO Arcueid was never killed in the park -_-
And it's way to soon for Ciel to make her appearance.

My sole reason for watching this is a morbid curiosity to see how badly J.C. Staff can mess up if they try. Not disappointed so far, it was rushed, some of the characters were presented in a terrible way, one doesn't even resemble their VN counterpart in the least, etc. Even after only one episode, I can tell that the "Tsukihime anime doesn't exist" phrase has a valid reason to be uttered. I can't wait for all the botching up to follow!

In all seriousness, I did like that they showed Ciel partaking in the PE class, plus one point for that. I guess that makes the standing somewhere between -40 to -60.

I started reading the mnga a while ago. And compared to it, its quite rushed and has a totally different feeling.
I mean the manga is also confusing, and the further you go the more questions and answers you get.
But I did not like it that much as a first ep.
Let`s see if it recovers further on

What even is this? It skips the entire prologue where Shiki describes going into the forest and get's nearly killed. I only read the first part of the VN so far, but even that's enough for me to see how AWFUL this adaptation truly is. Where is all the dialogue with Sensei about his eyes, and the lines? Everything about this anime is an insult to the VN it seems. Why even show her for like a second and give her one line about being a sorceress only to skip their entire 7 days together and skip to chapter 1 8 years later? It just seems like a bizarre choice. It's just terrible. :/

It's interesting to note that Shiki Ryougi and Shiki Toono suffered from a car accident around 1995, and their powers activated during that time. I initially thought Toono was the male Shiki that "died" in Kara no Kyouko, but yeah, they are in entirely separate timelines. It would've been cool if they shared the same timeline.

Why did he attack Arcueid?
Is Ciel really a vampire hunter/magus?
Intriguing start and the girls in this show are pretty too. The only one not in my strike zone is Ciel. Arcueid looks hotter in long hair. I wish she didn't cut it.

- this soundtrack is giving me chills!
- This looks like it’s going to be trippy and confusing.
- He murdered that blonde girl? It was Grusome too
- His Senpai seems to be some sort of vampire hunter. She also uses the same blades that those of the church use in fate, which is interesting
