Lunar Legend Tsukihime
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Thin lines run through everything Shiki Tohno can see: people, walls, objects, and if he cuts those lines, whatever he's looking at ceases to exist. He wears special glasses to suppress the ability because living with that knowledge about everything around you is genuinely unsettling. Then one day, walking home from school, he crosses paths with a woman named Arcueid, red eyes, white hair, impossible to ignore, and things go sideways fast in a way that kicks the whole story into motion. What follows is a 12-episode TV series that blends urban supernatural mystery with a slow-burn romance you probably didn't expect to care about as much as you will. The atmosphere is the real draw here: quiet city streets that feel slightly off, a haunting soundtrack, and a protagonist trying to hold a normal life together while something ancient and dangerous pulls at the edges of it. If you've watched Kara no Kyoukai and liked the moody supernatural detective energy, this covers similar ground with a more grounded romantic core. Fans of Fate/stay night who want to explore adjacent Type-Moon material will find familiar DNA in the intricate power systems and morally complicated characters. It's not flashy or fast-paced, it takes its time, but if dark mystery with genuine tension and a romance that actually develops between interesting people sounds appealing, Tsukihime is worth the twelve episodes.

Quedaron huecos argumentales. Tuvo un final plano y sin nada que destacar. Se entiende que es así porque la serie solo servía como publicidad del juego. El villano parecía no tener propósito real. El protagonista recuerda tarde que puede hacer algo y Ciel aparece mil años después.
No pasa nada extraordinario y ya casi nos cuentan toda la verdad. Todos estaremos de acuerdo en que no queríamos que Roa estuviera en ese cuerpo, porque lo hacía menos dramático. Quedan detalles de la familia del protagonista por resolver y ocurre una escena innecesaria para su edad y anticlimática.
Me frustra que el protagonista tenga por costumbre preguntar y luego no saber aceptar la respuesta que le dan. Lo positivo es que este capítulo no se sintió con tanto relleno. De nuevo nos dan un poco de información y la cosa se pone interesante.
La historia comienza a avanzar y por fin el protagonista no se hace el ignorante cuando lo tratan de loco por imaginar y soñar cosas. Insiste en buscar respuestas. No explican los misterios, pero ahora sí dan buenas pistas. Un capítulo imperdible, aunque igual de lento.
Tohno sigue distraído y apesadumbrado, pero por fin ocurre algo interesante en la segunda mitad. La primera mitad es pesada, aunque hay sucesos ligados a los misterios. Lo único agradable son los momentos donde se desarrollan más las relaciones entre los personajes.
No es el capítulo más intrigante ni el más emocionante, pero nos dan más migajas de información sobre ciertos personajes y sus relaciones. Pasan la primera parte sin hacer nada importante; recién se va poniendo bueno casi al final.
Ahora sí se sintió que el anime avanzó; se desarrolla más la relación del protagonista con su familia y la princesa de los Shinso. Me gustó que, aunque no ocurriera ningún suceso importante, al menos nos dieran más información a través de los personajes.
Por fin tenemos un poco de información, aunque en realidad es muy poca, y esto ocurre casi al final del capítulo. Así que la historia no avanza mucho más. No vemos a los protagonistas haciendo nada importante y solo van por ahí recorriendo las calles.
Es un capítulo lento donde no ocurre gran cosa, salvo por la aparición de cierto personaje. No se explica mucho, pero su presencia te hace dudar. Además, solo hay fragmentos de recuerdos del pasado de algunos personajes, sin aportar mucha información.
Bad adaptation just play the game or watch the remake even tho it's different
The soundtrack was actually very good, and that's where the positives end. The mystery and the intrigue were very captivating at first, but this adaptation didn't do it justice; even the sad ending didn't make much of an impact because the romance wasn't believable, so I didn't really care. Big letdown
This is frustratingly incomplete as an adaptation and it ended up being bad overall. Only the soundtrack is the one thing consistently good. To be fair, fitting a story this long into a single season was impossible from the start. Sad ending too. Hard skip on this anime unless you're mildly curious about the source material's reputation.
Everything has finally come together, but there are still some holes, like they still haven't explained why Shiki tried to murder Arc in episode 1. The villain's choice of action in this episode was also very nonsensical and incoherent
Did not see that certain scene at the end coming. The story has gotten more clearer this episode, though it feels like some pieces are still missing. Also wondering where someone disappeared to.
We're reaching the climax of the series, and this episode focuses on providing the final details needed to conclude the story by revealing the secret identities of some key characters and exploring the relationship between Shiki and Arc. Also eliminates some of the issues with the character writing
More revelations this episode, a mix of filler and actual plot. A character's true identity comes out and the tension around Arcueid ramps up. It feel like things are about to escalate, good momentum going into the next.
