Shingetsutan Tsukihime Shingetsutan Tsukihime -(Moon Princess)

i've only downloaded episode 1. i can't seem to find the prologue but i have to say thta its interesting. i'm gonna download more cuz i wanna know this anime more oh and arcueid(or whatshername ) is very pretty^_^ and shiki's kinda...hawt :blush2:

 

I was a bit late watching this series, so this is quite a bump.

Finally got around to it last week and I'm glad I did. Like so many good shows, it was over too fast (thanks to me watching it in two sittings. I just couldn't stop)

I had a constant lump in my throat from episode 8 on, mostly out of dread. I was pretty down for 24 hours or so after I finished. It helped to dive into the backstory and read as much as I could about the history, and about the original game.

I'll have to try out Melty Blood as it is likely the closest thing we will get to a sequel. (MB is a fighting game that takes off from one of the original game's "good" endings as opposed to the "true" ending portrayed in the anime.

The original game itself sounds like quite a downer The true endings aren't the good ones, and even some of the good ones end up with a major player dead.

Anyway, with Melty Blood I'll just ignore the last episode for a while and pretend things happened another way, as I beat up on maids and immortal nuns.

I really should have gotten to this sooner.. thanks Arcueid (our Arcueid) for telling me about this months ago, it finally paid off.

Excellent show, great ending, all that

 

Okay people, seriously: SPOILERS AHEAD

Stop reading if you haven't seen the whole series.

THe has the power of reincarnation. It's said that such a thing runs contrary to the Church's belifes, and so they do not consider him one of the dead apostles.) Thus Ciel and Arc can't really kill him permanently.

While Shiki/Roa's power of discernment lets him kill things, Shiki's power lets him erase things from existence (side effect: they die). I guess by 'erasing' Roa, Shiki was ablke to prevent him from ever coming back..

It gets rather confusing for me. Shiki can kill Arc, though not permanently. Roa however seems to be able to kill her permanently (or so it seems!). On the other hand, Arc and Ciel can't kill Roa permanently, but in this case, Shiki can. hurm..

I guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with this: Roa can reincarnate after Arc kills him, but Shiki erased him by puncturing his 'Death Dot,' which I assume he did not do when he chopped Arcueid up.

 

I remember that of course. Still, it was Shiki who positioned the knife at the "death dot." Ciel appears only to have pushed the knife it (with Shiki still holding it no less). That's barely enough for her to be able to claim she did it, to save him from the sinfulness of it, but she could not have done it without Shiki's sight.

I think my earlier reasoning still stands, if one just ignores exactly which one of them gave the knife the final push.

 

Unfortunately, I've never seen the Tsukihime anime.

I've never played the relevant video games.

And I really want to hear Akiha's voice.

However, I already like Akiha very much. She's cute, but rather morose. I really like her eyes. For that reason, I have decided to give her the epithet glaucopis (with grayish blue eyes... it can also refer to owl eyes or terrible eyes).

Moreover, I gave her the epithet Autumnifolia, meaning of an autumn-leaf.

 

Even more of a bump! \o/

Anyway, I've started watching Tsukihime the other day. I've watched up to I think the 7th episode. I lost track somewhere along the way. Wasn't easy to skip all those spoilers...

Have to say I like it. It's very different from what I expected, though it's proven quite interesting. I can't wait to see how it'll turn out.

Can't say I have a preference for any character, they're all looking and seeming really great. In-depth, interesting, not to mention good-looking.

IN any case, although I'll wait until I've had a chance to finish watching it to give a definate opinion, I'm definately saying now it's something great. I'm impressed.
