| I felt nothing but rage watching this series. So much was left out. I liked the manga infinitely times more. |
 |
| Ive really love the manga version more.. :3 And about the anime.. it really left me in the air... geee... it really would have been better!! :3 |
 |
| I really enjoyed the series, and the ending was a solid one. And hey, at least they got together in the second to last episode. I can dig the loose ends open ending stuff, the only bit that I wanted to see more of is when Satsuki ran crying. I'd guess she revealed her feelings, but was rejected since Shiki isn't over Arcueid, which would make sense. All in all, while I can imagine why fans of the visual novel are often disappointed with it, I really like this show. It drew me in, had a good ambiance, and got the job done. |
| I was about to drop this anime because it was damn boring in the 1st 3 episode but still continued, the mystery revolves in the story keeps me going. It was getting interesting as i watched half of the episodes, until Arcueid and Shiki had their one night stand (idk why but that disappoints me somehow). The ending is atleast passed to me it's not that good and it's definitely not that bad too. 8/10 |
| This where some pretty good last two episodes, specially if you compare them to the rest of the anime. The main reason i felt the first episodes where awful is because of Shiki and his rather "apathetic towards life" personality. It gave me the feeling that he was there because a male lead was needed rather than because he was suppose to make something for the story. On top the pace in which events where narrated was really slow (I haven't played/read the novel but i heard is rather eventful), yet the last episodes really try to redeem this anime. The good stuff: - Shiki grows as a person/character and is able to express his feeling (fully) towards Arcueid, and is willing to fight for her. He no longer chickens out and realizes this is his responsibly. - Arcueid and Roa died. Awesome. Two creature from the same era die on the same night, I felt it was a rather nice way to end them. What didn't really compute: - Shiki/Roa was put in the room after he attempted against Akiha's life. By some reason it is shown the same age Akiha (like girls on the 8-years ago flashbacks) been the one to free him, rather than an older Akiha (even the dress was the same). - If Ciel was Roa, that means that there was a way to kill/expelled/exorcise Roa which out killing Shiki. Why was that idea never mention? - Why if Arcueid vanishes in mid air she comes back at the end, just to make him cry? That was not closure, that was evil. - Shiki (good one), barely mourn Arcueid. Was this on hopes she was going to keep her promise? - Childhood friend rejection scene was completely unnecessary. 7/10 ~ As good as the ending was the road to it was just too boring |

| huh? |
 Isn't it sad, Sacchin? btw Satsuki seemed a lot cuter in this than in the VN. I think it was the voice. |
 |
| I like the final, but i was expecting better fights. Also, I think the final is solid. The only thing I didnt understand is Why did Shiki kill Arcueid? choyos said: Roa left Ciel by his own, because he used her body to the limit.- If Ciel was Roa, that means that there was a way to kill/expelled/exorcise Roa which out killing Shiki. Why was that idea never mention? choyos said: I call that romance. They wanted to talk to each other once again and she came somehow, maybe it was just Shiki imagination.- Why if Arcueid vanishes in mid air she comes back at the end, just to make him cry? That was not closure, that was evil. choyos said: Which scene are you talking about? I think all these scenes were necessary.- Childhood friend rejection scene was completely unnecessary. |

     |
| Watched because of Carnival Phantasm. but hell, it was meh. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| It was meh but you gave it a 8? It wasn't that bad then |
| What kind of ending was that? I need more closure. |
| Storyline and concept was OK but the music and pacing was crappy. Music repeating itself destroyed the atmosphere most of the time and people standing there for 5 minutes doing nothing is silly. Will check out the VN some day. Now on to Carnival Phantasm. 6/10 Araya said: It was meh but you gave it a 8? It wasn't that bad then Some people just don't know how to rate things... |
| Too many questions are left unanswered. Shame really. The back story is really good and I like the characters, the music and the gothic ambient. But I think the pacing is really awkward and the dialogue was poor. No more than 7 from me. |

| I liked it, but well, as mentioned over 9000 times already, too short. 8/10 |
| Too many loose ends. The characters themselves are pretty interesting and deep, but it feels like the anime didn't do justice to them. 7/10 from me. |
| The ending was strong, the action wasn't, but the story it self was very good. I understand the jokes from Carnival Phantasm more now. |
| Beginning of the anime had me going..was pretty good. Towards the end though.. a big nasty fart. And the ending? That was just stupid..to many holes were still open and random Arcueid death.. I mean seriously, that was just so random and stupid and made little to no sense. I also never figured out why he attacked and killed Arcueid in the beginning anyways..unless I'm missing something. |

| i recommend for all of you that was dissatisfied by the anime, to play the VN, or at least read the manga, there's more closure involved. Alot of the plot involving the nanaya clan wasn't even in the anime. And i remain on good standpoints that the maids were my favorites. Especially in the VN. |

| I love the work of Type-Moon. Not sure if they do it on purpose, but the fact that their endings always make you wish for more actually makes you go look for more. They are always able to make me a little obsessed. FS/N was like that too. The series was enjoyable, the ending complete and yet unsatisfying, but that's what makes a series good in my opinion. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| .. 6/10 .. this anime missed so many aspects.. cant really explain well.. but whole anime felt really awkward.. wanted give 7.. but just the final episode didnt give what it was missing.. |
 |
| That....that was just bad man. How did that even get approved for as an adaptation. |

| Seriously this adaptation is bad and it was very rushed. But at least they didn't alter the ending. And this was only 1/9 endings in the VN which also includes the good end where everyone is satisfied. Most of the people were saying that Tsukihime anime doesn't exits and i mostly agree with them. |

| I liked this series, a lot more than I thought I would after all the 'this anime doesn't exist' stuff. Very bitter-sweet ending and enjoyable series, it's made me want to hunt out the VN, sure maybe it didn't answer all the questions but then again it's an adaptation not a word for word reproduction, I'm happy to go find the source material of adaptations I enjoy watching. |
 |
| I'll give this a 9 and the ending was so sad ; __ ; I miss arcueid and so many things they left unanswered.but overall it was enjoyable. |
| You know, I could write what I thought was good and bad about this anime but I think I'll leave my comment with as much thought as J. C. Staff put into their adaptation: VN ero spoiler: |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Pretty good overall, coming from someone who hasn't read the manga or VN. That said this last episode bothered me a bit. It could have ended better, too melodramatic for my taste. |
 |
| Good thing I played the VN long before this. That said, it was fun to see this attempt, and I'll acknowledge it. Arcueid focus, there's memorable music, and it was cool/funny that Nanaya was voiced by Suzumura Kenichi. In the end, excluding some of Arcueid's route, it wasn't a good adaptation really and could of easily been directed better. However, my bias allows me to still like it. I especially enjoyed the filler episode at the amusement park. Oh, and Arcueid shooting a basketball at the school gym lol. :) |

| i just think the idea of the story is nice and the anime isn't bad, but it had a lot of potencial and i think it was wasted.... the endind yeah it was really like FSN only that in FSN it actually makes sense and it doesn't feel sucky at all |
 |
| Well, as far as adaptation goes, it was one horrible mess, sasuga J. C. Staff, you didn't disappoint me with you butchery. If we just look at it on it's own, it isn't a lot better. Low production values, rushed execution, unanswered questions, a very weak end product. 4/10. I did, however, like three things. The opening song was really nice and they managed to create a very good, foreboding, heavy atmosphere, as opposed to the VN that was more of a psychological thriller. Last, but not least, the VA choices with special mention to Ciel and Shiki, I prefer them over their Carnival Phantasm ones. I'm not sure how to feel about how they left out the mastermind behind the events. On the one hand I would have liked to see the build-up and the reveal, on the other hand, this way those who only read the VN after the anime still have one major surprise coming for them. |
| crazy anime i feel like so much was missing sad ep T-T |
 |
| i doesnt like the ending, FSN ending is better it felt rush and the explaination seem vague overall 8/10 |
| Well fuck. What exactly did he tell what'sherface? "I like Arcuied better" or "Yea, I don't really like you." Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel like Arc shouldn't have died, but I was happy that she did. I can't believe that just being stabbed killed Arc tho. I mean, Shiki DID chop her up in 17 pieces before... |
 |
| Great series, would have been a 9/10, but that ending was pretty irritating for me. I get that anime hates fairy tale esque endings but jesus christ it gets old... |
| I gave this series a 10/10. I loved it, such a brilliant story. The ending was rather depressing, I hated that Arc died. Not sure I understand why so many say that this ending left a lot unanswered? I understood everything perfectly, and found that the ending even though it was very depressing wrapped everything into a neat little bow. I am not familiar with the VN, not like I am with Fate/Stay Night, so I am judging this series strictly by the 12 episodes of the anime. I realize that most, if not all, of the VN fans consider this series an epic failure and claim that it does not exist- but, even if I was familiar with the VN I doubt I would have had much hate for such a masterpiece. I may have rated it lower, but I don't think I would have hated it. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| arc... shouldn't have died...OH GOD NO!. FFFFFFFUUUU... but series was 7/10 |
| Satisfied, and the ending did make me teared. While I do notice that they barely did any explanations to Shiki's Nanaya past (according to what I know from the anime, he is a family of demon-hunters and that is all) and skimped the parts regarding Ciel, Tohno and even Arcueid, J.C. Staff managed to pull a conclusion across and wrapped up things nicely more or less. I have never expected a full-blown main course explaining everything every detail of the original VN work, so I was never disappointed with this anime at all. The minimalistic amount of action did not bother me at all, I expected a decent romance and drama, and it managed to weap up and come across as great. I should be glad I have not played the VN first. In the end, Shiki could not let go of Arcueid, considering the amount of development and chemistry between them over the course of the anime. A bittersweet conclusion is kind of expected for a romance that can never be, although I have my qualms that Arcueid really died, or just went to resting in some other place before coming back many years later. Shiki can only wait until then...till inevitable death takes him. 9/10 |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| I watched this anime after reading the vn and the follow up plus disk and kagestu tooya because I got curious when i read about how horrible people said it was... well as an anime by itself it's not too bad but as an adaptation it's really lacking. Many things were rushed (for instance: the fight against nero wasn't anywhere as easy as it was in the anime... it almost looked like a walk in the park... eheh get it?) or left out althogeter (it's only a 12 episode anime so they had to I suppose), but the worst is that the characters feel very different that the vn ones. |
 |
| Well so that's the non-existent Tsukihime anime. It certainly wasn't that good but still enjoyable. 5/10 |
| I feel like this had so much potential but honestly I was kinda bored watching it... |
