I would like to know your true thoughts on the Tsukihime anime and don't hold back.

Honestly speaking, the anime sucks... compared to the visual novel which is the best thing I've ever read, so I can't hate the anime either... I'm really sad about Arc tho, she doesn't look so pretty in the anime.

the only thing I liked about the anime, is the art. but the plot is a total let down.

I agree, with the above post about arcueid's true ending. In the anime, I didn't feel anything but when I viewed the same ending in the VN, I got depressed for a week...I really felt sad about how arcueid had to say farewell....:(

I didn't care for the character design in the anime but my biggest problem with it was that they didn't explain Shiki's past.

their biggest mistake was letting the anime run short..so no time for explainations

Yeah, Shingetsutan Tsukihime is one example of a continues episodes of "Great VNs being adapted into a 1 cour long anime". They just had to squeeze everything into just 12 episodes! Hell, it took me about 4-6 weeks to finish the VN (yes, I have a busy life and I enjoy reading slowly) and the anime had just a total of:

12 episodes X 20 mins = 240 mins / 60 = 4 hours!

Even Sacchin's story wasn't this short... Something like Tsukihime needs at least a 2 cour series. That's the main reason why the story was horrible compared to the VN, they didn't explain anything.

But on the merit side, the OST was rather good especially the OP, it was great. The character design was different from the VN but it wasn't that bad. I actually liked Shiki's design in the anime more than the novel, he looks nerdier XD Nrvqsr Chaos too, he looked like a freak in the VN but had a more calm, intimidating look in the anime. And the final merit point would go to the amusement park episode. It was like a fanservice anime where you got all the (except for the maids T.T) fight over Shiki, it was hilarious!

I gave it a 10 because I'm rating it as a stand-alone series without adding the VN to the equation. I'm rate mostly on stories and I loved Tsukihime's story so much that I ignored the horrible plot and the compact story.

P.S: I don't know which is moe'er, No-Breast-Akiha or Brain-Washing-Detective-Hisui...

i have no negative comment about the anime, i watched it 3 times n still interested to watch it again n again~
ironic is.. this is the only serious anime.. i mean the many blah blah scenes that i not bored to enjoy :)

serious anime is right...though Arcueid still has her bubbly attitude..but it was better in the VN...

I would've prefered they made it longer...so that there's time to cover the characters' stories...

The anime sucked hard.
The characters wasn't played enough.
Arcueid wasn't as chieldish as in the game
Kohaku wasn't as cute as in the game
Shiki was stupider then in the game ( ok he was never smart to begin whit. )
The fight against Chaos sucked compared to the fight in the game
Sacchin is even less important in the anime...-_-
And even if the anime is about Arc's path. If it's an anime then it should have reviled the other main characters important things. Like in Shuffle. The anime was Asa's path but it still reviled the split personality of Sia and the "twin" of Nerine...Etc. ( Ok the Shuffle anime was batter then the game. ^^" )

And on top of that all. The worst thing in the anime that was just...un speakebly stupid.
The scean where Shiki kills Arc.
Arc runing away from Shiki. WHAT IS THAT?!?! You have got to be kidding me!
The Princess of the True Ancestors runing in fear from a human. THAT IS IMPOSIBLE!!!
In the game Shiki ( Nanaya to be exact who is way stronger then Shiki / Shiki gets his power from Nanaya. ) did a surprise attack. He assassinated Arc in one secound and he succeded becouse he didn't give Arc enough time to realise that she is attacked. If Arc wear to realise the fact then she would:

A: Arc is way faster then either Shiki or Nanaya so she can attack before he dose and she can kill Shiki whit one strike. Even in day time.

B: She is still faster so she can just dodge the attack and then either attack, disarm or question Shiki. Even in day time.

C: She is still faster so if we say that she would run away like in the anime then Shiki would never ever catch her. While Nanaya can move faster then the normal human's ( / Vermillion Akiha's ) eye Arc can move faster then Shiki's eye. Even in day time. ^^"

Arc is faster. Arc dosen't have the fealing of fear to begin whit so she can't be scared. even if she could she knows that she can't be harmed whit any normal wepon so a random human whit a knife can't harm her ( at least at the moment she would think that rather then runing away. )

This is the most unrealist and stupid scean i ever sow. I just can't explain how stupid it is. ^^"

Any way this is my oppinion.

And any way

You sure do hate the anime phoenix. I do agree with you on the Arcued scene but the scene i had the biggest problem with was the final battle with Chaos, they fail to explain the points and on top of that shiki kills him by cutting him.



I was also thinking about putting up that pic.

that says it all....

and yes...there is NO reason for that scene to happen!!! >.<

The only logical explain of the Arc killing scene is (when putting Arc's childish personality from the VN):
Arc saw a cute little human running at her with a knife, thinking she's a very attractive foreign girl.
She thought to herself "awww... how cute, he's just a poor sick sadist who wants to kill/rape me. Let's play tag with him and then surprise him :D"
Arc starts running like a normal human girl while shouting "hentai! hentai! hentai! tasukate!"
And as he got closer to her, she got more excited and was like "ooh he's going to kill me now, how cute :)"
Shiki catches up and slices Arc into 17 pieces
Arc fell there, in pieces, in a state of "wtf just happaned?" until she was revived.
--End of logical explanation, damn the anime scenario writer must've been high or something...

you're tellin' me...

My thoughts of the animé?

1) Why do they all look older?
2) Why did they remove every single piece of humor from the game?
3) Why did they give away Ciel's true self in the first episode?
4) Why did Satsuki live?
5) Why did they reveal Shiki's past connection to Hisui and Kohaku and then ignore it?
6) Why did they add an amusement park episode?
7) Where's my succubus scene? They animated the sex scene so why not?
8) Akiha vs. Roa? Why?
9) Why does Shiki have no emotion?

If I thought long enough I could list off a bunch more unnecessary or wrong elements that should not have existed in the animé. Tsukihime goes on top of my list of shows that I think need to be redone. I know it's virtually impossible to adequately animate a visual novel, but good God, they didn't even TRY.

you all seem to have played the visual novel, I haven't, therefore I really like the anime 'cuz I don't compare :C

You really, REALLY need to play it. The animé is waaaaaaaaay off.

Rengemaru:
Problem is the following. It is explaind ( by nasu after the creation of tsuki )
That Arc understood that useless/pointless/unecsesury things that is not part of her mission is necesery becous she got killed by Shiki. In the proloug it's said that she would never trip in a rock abous it's unecsasury. After she got killed by Shiki she started realising things that is not part of her mission at all. Untill then she was more like a vampire killing machine then an actuall person.

or not. I have no interest in visual novels.

You're loss.

Yeah I know that. However, I was complaining about the pre-killing Arc, the supposedly "unemotional arc", who was running away from Shiki.
