(L) Shingetsutan Tsukihime

[Mistwrath]

The anime doesn't explain quite some stuff regarding the characters compared to the doujin or game leaving some of the fans clueless

Well it is already episode 10 and still a lot of things are uncertain up to this point of time, let's hope they can make a good plot of the 4 remaining episodes.

Man this is like KgnE, the suspense is killing me !

[lavarock]

I really hope this series has a second season, you just can't unwrap all these plots in 14 episodes...

Hmm... I found some interesting screenshots of a Street Fighter type of game for Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

Thanks to Mentar...

wow, thats.. odd
lol - cool though

[Drakes]

Tboz - Thats Melty Blood, the storyline in that game follows up a year after Tsukihime. Theres another sequel called "Kagetsu Tohya".

Spoiler:

Both storylines can't exist at the same time due to being in paralell universes. Well....thats just from what I've heard.

Anyways I've got it on my comp, pretty good game, although as you can see the character sprites are quite pixely. I can bear with it seeing some of the "effects" are abit flashy, heh.

My biggest gripe with this game is you can't fongire your keyboard, so to play it with ease you gotta get a gamepad of sorts.

[Commissar]

With all this talk about Melty Blood, what exactly happens in the storyline of Melty Blood? After the first game, what are they fighting over?

Supposedly Shiki meets this "cop" named Sion/Shion (Sion is how they spell it in the game) and they team up to hunt vampires. It's basically a visual novel, interspersed with fighting scenes. There's also just a fighting part you can play, instead of the story mode.

I have this game on my computer... gotta play it in the break.

Guess I'll go abit deeper into the storyline....

Spoiler:

As with Tsukihime there are many routes, I'm just saying what'd I think would be the "main" one.

Shiki meets this alchemist Sion(not your tradional kinds, shes supposed to have different abilities). Anyways there appears to be a serial-killer on the loose again I think. Sion was bitten by a vampire acouple years ago, and since then has slowly been turning through not fully turned yet. Shes here to find Arcueid and hopfully find some information on how to cure vampirism.

I'm not sure myself why do most of the fights even happen, but it appears that Warakia(supposed shito) is manifesting as fears of people and such.

Anyways, from close to the end it seems that he manifested as Nero Chaos

the final battles and endings vary quite abit so I'm not going to add much into that.

[Commissar]

Does anyone know what happens in the game when you get the "True" ending with Arc? I am dying to know what happens when you get this in the game. Any details would be much appreciated. Thanks.

A couple of people had reviewed "Melty Blood" at Himeya Soft. There's a list of the characters and some of their powers from there.

[chibikit]

I like the way the anime plays on the anticipation and suspicion of the viewer (well, mine anyway).

Spoiler:

Ever since Arcueid mentioned that Lore changes bodies every so often, I've been looking at who it could possibly be every episode. The show drops red herrings that it might be so-and-so, draws the suspense and suspicion out, then shows that it isn't. And now, with the other guy who has Death's Eyes in the picture, it becomes even more mysterious.

Quite simply, I ca't wait for the next episode of this series every week. ^_^

You mean Roa?

Doesn't he only change bodies when the previous host dies?

Thanks to Mentar...

Heh Cool. I was wondering what Melty Blood was because it was all over the Tsukihime BT file.

[kj1980]

Only two more episodes to go, and in Ep. 10 they talked about Ciel's secret...

Spoiler:

Now to cram Roa and the real Tohno Shiki connection, Akiha's role, Hisui and Kohaku roles into the next two series...

I'm wondering how there are going to end this.

Spoiler:

What will become of Akiha well she fully reverses?
What will become of Kohaku when the truth is revealed?
What will become of Arcueid after this ends?

and what the heck to they have in mind for Satsuki?

At this rate, Hisui might be the only sole survivor of the series.

[Keitaro]

I'm hoping for an S2, so they wouldn't have to cram everthing in those last 2 episodes.

P.S anyone listen to Tsukihime Original Soundtrack yet its awesome

Ah... so that's Melty Blood, I have heard something about it but wasn't show of its connection with Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

Thanks.

I must agree that many questions are still unanswered, I would hate to see the story being rushed for the ending.
