That's a good point. If Shiki hadn't been sent away (or 'killed' for that matter), then Akiha's view of him would probably be quite different. I don't think they could have a normal sibling relationship though. The Tohno family's abnormalities alone would skewer that. Also, Akiha seemed to be endeared to him since their early days at the mansion, so regardless of whether Shiki left or not she would probably still harbor feelings for him. Whether she would realize those or not is a different story.
Ever wonder what a vampire's brain looks like?

Are you saying Rei was a red herring? It was a necessary clarification of Rika's circumstances. Rena's psycho face in episode 2 was odd and relatively pointless, so you could call that a red herring, but the majority of Rei was as one would expect. Less mystery and more revelation.
Rina's death could be a red herring I suppose. I think I've resolved to accept her death as the trigger of Satoko's tragedy. Tragedy sounds a bit odd, since I wouldn't have associated the word with Higurashi at first given all the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the mystery. Looking back though, Higurashi is essentially the telling of one tragedy after another. At the least the question arcs are.

It's not "a story about sex with children", but it comes close. It's bad to simply dismiss the show on those grounds, but you would have to be blind not to see the implied relationship between Daisuke and Rin. Thankfully the relationship doesn't go so far, but Daisuke finds himself in very prickly situations more than once. They did explain Rin's reasons, but even then the story is hard to swallow. It's not easy to make a show with such themes into a lighthearted comedy. No matter which country you're in, Rin would be considered abnormal. That abnormality creates a certain tension while watching. It's not horrible, it's just not easy to accept. Perhaps this much should be expected when watching an R+ series.
Harry Potter doesn't promote witchcraft?

Omg! I can't imagine! That must have been traumetizing for u watching clannad while your wife was pregnant 0.o Yeah I like both Akio and Tomoya. I felt so aweful for them having almost lost what was so important to them. I can't even imagine it...
Have u watche Air?

haha~ k~ np
I was offline for a while too~

No, in Kashimashi, Tomari was definitely the 'man' in the relationship. And she has a heart of steel.

Oh? So Akiha is locked in a tragic never-ending and hopeless wait for the one she loves to come home? Sounds like a post-war story. She waits patiently while listening to the sounds of crashing waves from the nonexistent sea before her. I can't even begin to fathom what that must be like.

Isn't that the ever-prevalent goal of shounen manga, to set up an intricate system of rules and then have the protagonist usurp and surpass all of them? I can always keep myself amused by imagining how <insert Type Moon protagonist here> can escape death in any given situation.

Yes, that is indeed Tatarigoroshi-hen, the arc where people who are bludgeoned with a shovel and buried, people who fall off bridges, and people who "transfer" all manage to survive. Some of those are delusions, but nonetheless Tatarigoroshi is where the impossible becomes possible!

Autopsy: The victim is female, estimated to be around twenty or thirty years of age. Her nose and ears were cut off, and her intestines pulled out. A nail was driven into each joint of each finger on each of her hands for a total of 30 nails. This is oddly similar to what Shion was going to do to Keiichi in Watanagashi-hen. A variety of instruments were likely used to cut open the stomach, and at least one other person had to be present to hold up the victim's head. It is suggested that the victim remained alive as all of this was done. Finally, the body was weighed down with dumbbells and thrown into a river. It is likely that at least three grown men would have been necessary for this task. This autopsy was given in the VN.

Satoshi is a potential candidate that I hadn't considered, but of course the autopsy couldn't mistake gender like that. Unless Satoshi was a... no. Satoko was my first thought, since they might have been showing her fate after the 'gas explosion', but it looks like this murder took place before the rest of the events in Watanagashi. Also there's an age discrepancy. Takano matches the description, but she doesn't die. It could be her body double, but in that case the corpse was released too early for her plans and it wasn't burned as usual. It seems that the anime's depiction of blond hair was off. The VN eventually yields that the corpse is that of "Rina" Mamiya, though that just raises more questions. I infer that the reason Teppei returned to live with Satoko is because of Mamiya's death, though he might not be aware that she died. Why did Rina die? How is this related to the story? I'll continue reading.

I have seen Kodomo no Jikan, though I haven't seen the OVAs. The story was a bit hard to swallow since it deals with some serious themes. Rin took the role of the proactive loli too far and Daisuke came across as a pushover. There were a lot of fun moments though, and of course, there's also Genghis Khan candy.

Mayora-Hime | 01-26-10, 1:49 PM
Oh it is! Wow I'm I blind XD
Aaaw that's so cute! What's her name?
And yeah I hope so, Tomoya deprived Ushio for five years. I really hated that part from After story. It was a very immature and irresponsible decision from him. He's my fave character, but that part seriously made me hate him. But also when I saw how much Ushio resembled Nagisa, I couldn't help but understand his depression. I mean she looked JUST like her, it's like a constant reminder of what he lost :(
I guess he just needed some time, but five years was WAY too long.
Also as much as it pained him to see Nagisa through Ushio, it must've been the same (if not more) for Akio and Sanae That was extremely selfish of him. But I guess he realized it on that ep when Akio comforted Sanae as she cried for Nagisa.
Hehehe sorry I rambled on too much ^.^''

Mayora-Hime | 01-26-10, 1:22 PM
Oh you have a daughter? Congrats! ^.^ How old is she?
And yes, but Tomoya now has Ushio :)
(I checked your anime list to check if you've seen After story, didn't want to give u a spoiler by accident :P)

I just finished the Fate/Stay Night VN just in time for the new movie that just came out. I'm currently playing Da Capo II at the moment.

btw, if you havent seen Ookamikakushi yet you should definitely give it a try. it invokes the atmosphere of Higurashi that im sorely missing in anime these days

awesome! we could get in contact with each other the days of the con and find some time and place to meet up. im coming with a whole bunch of newbies this year along with 4 (possibly 5) other MAL members. we could go on a dealer's room run together :)

Mayora-Hime | 01-22-10, 7:23 PM
I love your signarure! It's cool :P

Nasuversepro | 01-22-10, 4:25 PM
no worries ^_^

yeah, Satsuki is practically the only "Normal Vampire" among the characters...she deserves to have her route published U_U


ikuto | 01-22-10, 4:21 PM
np~ ^^

Ahh k~ Thanks for the awesome detail, I think I understand but, maybe its just cuz i dont like the art, who know~. Yeah playing the VN would make me like it if I played that first. ^^

Sorry for the late reply, Misa_Ryuuguu. I had a long vacation and just returned on Sunday. Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year.

Ah… So you can't make a choice after all? Let’s talk about something else then: Isn’t your government aware at all about the flaws of the welfare system? Haven’t they tried to do anything about it? And you guys just elected a new president not too long ago -- has nothing at all changed since then? Anyway, like you, I also don’t have much respect for people who don’t want to work to earn their keeps. I remember this hilarious old skit which tackles the issue (among other things). It focused specifically on the black demographic though -- I suppose there’s a similar term for the whites as well?

Compatibility rating? You mean that little number below other users’ anime stats? Well, I don’t care about that thing at all. Okay, my compatibilities with users whose tastes are similar to me tend to be higher than those whose tastes aren’t, so obviously the feature is not completely useless. But things do get pretty weird sometimes. I have come across two users with more than 90% compatibility -- One of them rates everything a 10, while the other only gave 9s and 10s. My ratings for the same shows, on the other hand, were all over the entire 1-10 range. It’s baffling. I suppose when you like everything there would be minimal friction with others, but still that’s a pretty demented reason.

Well, being an older anime fan has its own advantages. :) Raina is a good name -- it’s unique enough, but not too unique that it would pose a problem for your daughter when it’s time for her to enter school later. It’s always the ones with the weird names who get bullied, you know? Oh, is there any other sort of special significance attached to the name?

And yes, parenting is one of the greatest joys in life, although there are many singles in this world who would consider us crazy for thinking that. ;) Not that it’s all roses and kittens. When I had my first kid I was a mere jobless fresh graduate, and my wife was still attending college, so it got really stressful at times -- physically, mentally, and financially -- and the fact that we were still young and somewhat immature just made things that much worse. But, just like you, all it took was a smile and I would feel to make me feel -- for the moment -- as if these problems just miraculously disappeared. Of course, over the years I began to realize that there’s something very grand and satisfying about being committed and taking up family responsibilities… or maybe I’m just getting old here?

I think to move forward, both girls needed to break off their relationship with Takayuki. That's how it worked out too. Takayuki broke off his past and present relationships so that he could start over anew at the end with the girl he chose. It wasn't just Haruka who needed to separate herself from her past relationship. Takayuki and Mitsuki's relationship was restrained and messed up in its own ways as well. That's why they started over at the end.

I think that's one of the most common lines in a harem. The guy is just 'too nice' to hurt anyone and thus hurts everyone. You really can't be called a nice guy from the moment you enter a harem. I can't accept Takayuki's indecisiveness but seeing his situation gives me pause. That might be part of why the drama was so compelling, because I had to question my own thoughts on what should be done.

I can kind of see what you mean since a lot of characters seem to fit certain archetypes, but calling her less than a person seems harsh. Her accident did seem a bit extreme and it's amazing that she didn't suffer brain damage or anything. I find that if you pick apart the circumstances for a show, it only leads to contempt, so I try not to do that. Instead I try to accept the circumstances and imagine what kind of impact that has on the characters.

The OVA could have been done a lot better, though there was a limit to how much it could do. The anime had already been aired and many opinions had already been swayed by the given ending. There's a bias there based on what people have already seen and accepted as the ending to Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Mitsuki was removed from the picture in the OVA just as Haruka was removed in the given ending. They could have given Mitsuki a heart-breaking goodbye scene with Takayuki, but she had already known Takayuki's decision. To make it easier for herself and everyone else, she exited the stage herself. The OVA felt kind of slow-paced with its massive dialogue and lack of drama and romantic intrigue. The main drama of choosing a heroine was completed in the original series, so the OVA was literally just a wrap up ending.



The anime is a short 12 episodes so it focuses on Arcueid's route (she is supposedly the main heroine after all). I have to agree that they didn't feel like the main storyline of Tsukihime. The far side arcs felt a lot more close to home for Shiki. Having a "supernatural girlfriend" sounds pretty exciting though. Of course all the heroines in Tsukihime, whether they be vampires, immortals, or synchronizers, are supernatural. I'm used to the idea that the main/true story is supposed to come last (in cases where there is a main story). By that logic Kohaku's true end would be the main story which seems rather odd. It was the 'happiest' true end (with fewest deaths), but still.

Did Akiha say something like that? That she expected him to return one day? I seem to recall something like that now, but that is odd. I've been wondering this for a while, but what exactly is Shiki? Surely he's a Type Moon character that actually dies when killed... right?
Akiha and Kohaku's bond wasn't entirely "fake" so much as it was "not a true bond". They mentioned in either Hisui or Kohaku's route that the bond could only properly be formed with a member of the opposite sex. The way Akiha and Kohaku made their bond actually furthered Akiha's breakdown rather than slowing it. This was all part of Kohaku's evil master plan if you recall.
As far as whether living or dying is more selfish in that case, I don't think either would care about how selfish the decision was. Shiki made the decision that he thought would benefit Akiha the most whether that would be him living or her living freely. In a way his decision is selfless, and in another, since his interests are aligned with Akiha's best interests, his decision is very selfish. It's kind of paradoxical in a way that makes it less important how selfish the decision is. Akiha is probably pained by Shiki's death in the true end, but she's also strong enough to live with it, especially knowing that she lives for both of them now (in a sense). The logic ends up being circular, so I think both are good decisions, better than revoking the command seal at any rate.

Arcueid will claw out your eyes if you say something like that. The last thing you want to do is act like you understand a woman, a vampire woman at that. As far as the cliche goes, she's still leagues ahead of Twilight or any other vampire story you can think of. Except Karin I suppose. No matter how you look at it, nosebleed vampires are a rarity.

We're down to 2 pages now, huzzah!
One thing I've been wondering is in the beginning of Tatarigoroshi-hen, whose dead body was found at the intro to the arc? The autopsy said she was a woman in her 30's with 15 nails in each hand, ripped open intestines and that kind of fun stuff. In the anime it seemed she had blond hair as well. I would say Takano, but she shouldn't be dead, right?

Nasuversepro | 01-09-10, 4:37 PM
well, in the Plus Disc, the sprites are shown, and like Tsukihime 2, there are spoilers. THerefore i still have hopes ^_^ but even a rmk and new info about the story are worth right? :D
