The idea of two guys going to an amusement park with four girls is pretty fun and amazing but not in this case.

I'm going to make a wild guess but I'm guess they aren't really brother and sister... because although the blue haired girl... may have sounded sarcastic but... she said that "I can't believe you guys are siblings... you guys look nothing alike"...... if you think about it... he did lose his memories from before the accident. May I repeat... it's just a wild guess. I know I ... a lot!

So everybody loves Shiki and everybody's non-human (with the exception of the friend chick). Whatev. This show would be a lot better if it focused less on romance and more on mystery/thriller. There are a bunch of questions we need answered:

1. Why did Shiki go crazy and kill Arcueid? (The most important and obvious question IMO.)
2. What kind of creature is Ciel/Akiha?
3. Who is the boy in Shiki's flashback? My money's on his [twin] brother.
4. Are Shiki and Akiha actually related? I'm guessing no.
5. Why can't Shiki remember anything before this ~mysterious~ accident? My guess is that he's a clone.
6. Who was the chick who gave Shiki the glasses when he was young?
7. Why and how does Shiki have shinigami eyes?
8. How do Ciel and Arcueid know each other?
9. Are the twin maids non-human as well?
10. Why is Shiki so fucking pathetic? He doesn't stand up to ANYONE in this ep. If I were him I'd have told Akiha to stfu and stop being rude, and ditto to Ciel and Arcueid. They're all insensitive bitches. Especially Akiha, though -- she thinks that because she's "worried" about Shiki that she can force him to live under lock&key and 24hr supervision? Crazy chick.

Etc etc.

All of these questions have also been running through my mind. But I think it's a good thing they're still unanswered. It's what's keeping me interested. I hope they get good answers later on though.

And here I though Akiha would be more pleasant. In all honesty I was expecting a very good show, since Type-Moon= win for me. But this harem nonsense is ridiculous, the VN is darker.

I sincerely hope this was just a crazy filler, and we'll never mention it again.

Yup. Its a Harem alright.

I hope it gets better and they focus more on the mistery aspectcs of it.

Not a bad episode, but they needed to focus more on the darker side of the story. Till now, all we've seen is introductory stuff, and little to no decent action.

On a side note, I think the vampire princess needs a change of clothes; she's always wearing the same dress!

It seems that Type Moon MCs end up being babe magnets, and yet they do not know that. Their are completely ignorant of their incredible luck. Shirou from Fate/Stay Night and Shiki are incredible lucky bastards, and probably the weakest aspects in the Type Moon Universe.

Well, besides that, I find it suspicious that after Shiki left, someone get their blood drained from the amusement park. Very suspicious.

Read the VNs. They are much better characters than the adaptations portray them.
And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible.

Harem? Now we have an episode in which the abnormal is normal already. I guess there are hints foreshadowing future events, and according to my conjecture, Shiki may be unrelated to the Tohno family (adopted son), and the Tohno family being a not-so-normal family after all. Non-human lineage?

They do if you make a certain choice on one of the days you go scouting with Arc; Arc ends up going to your house because Shiki doesn't show up one day. You can still get the True End with this so I guess it's canon.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

From the way people were talking about this episode, I figured that this "filler episode" was going to be a silly slice of life comedy.
But, tell me, how was this a filler episode? What I got was the opposite. It was a character driven drama, and while this was not in the visual novel, that doesn't make it filler.

This is an adaptation. It doesn't have to be the same as the visual novel, as long as it can tell its own coherent story and follow the same themes.
This episode did just that.
Since they merged the routes into one anime, they needed to do something different to connect the pieces, so to speak. This wasn't filler, this gave lots of insight into the character's backgrounds and personalities.

Here, we learn Akiha isn't ignorant to the happenings of the Church. She is familiar with Executioners since she right away has disdain for Ciel.
Ciel talks to Arcueid in the ferris wheel that Akiha isn't a normal human.
Shiki and Akiha's relationship is still awkward and feels distant; we know that they have a long ways to go in becoming closer to one another.
Ciel correctly assumes that Akiha is not human, which disgusts Akiha-- so this tells us that she probably isn't human, with her reaction to it. Ciel also makes an observation that the excuse for the accident that happened to Shiki eight years ago was just that: a convenient "excuse".
Arcueid talks to Satsuki about Shiki and how Shiki does care for Satsuki more than she gives herself credit for.

That's totally true, we do get hints at that from this episode, as well! They comment that Shiki and Akiha look nothing alike-- which was also in the visual novel, glad they put that in the anime, because that's an important hint.

Tsukihime, even the visual novel, is very much a drama. This episode further explore the character drama, and it does it excellently. Not once was I bored; I still don't get the "it's sooooo slow" complaint. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I am a diehard fan of drama, and I can take dialogue because I find conversations between people with very different perspectives fascinating.

Filler would be scenes that doesn't further the existing narrative.
This episode most certainly furthers the narrative. If you skipped this episode, you would be lost in the next one, and you would miss out on characterization.

Not filler, and, in my subjective taste, not boring.

Arcueid must have been living under a highly advanced rock for 800 years if she has never been to a hot spring before.

Something I don't quite understand (didn't read the VN): what's so special about Shiki's power? He sees lines which, if interrupted, will kill the object. I guess if anyone cuts anyone/anything along almost any line across their body, you wouldn't do them any good anyway, would you?

Akiha is so beautiful that if I were Shiki, there's no question I would commit incest with her! She would've lost her virginity a few episodes ago, including those gorgeous twin maids!

This is my favorite episode so far. It's so amusing to watch Shiki's waifus bicker with each other. I kinda feel bad for Yumizuka since she's so behind the other girls.

If it seems that Shiki's sister has a supernatural ability or something, and then everyone has become supernatural beings of different classifications - Arquid, Lacey, and now Akihara, or Aba was her name - these plot threads must be explained.
