TYPE-MOON Fans! Fate/Stay Night, Shingetsutan Tsukihime

[Mew]

Ah, I didn't see you around, and the Rin I did see I saw in the restrooms, so.... .^^;;

[Makou]

I've never seen anyone cosplay Archer before..... Anyone got pics? I've only seen Saber and Rin.

There were like 3 or 4 Archer cosplays at Fanime 06. I was one of them (with Chloe as Rin):

(Yes, I'm wearing an SOS-dan armband.)

Dude... I got your picture...

To think this whole time I didn't know that was you. Aye...
*smacks his own head.

Anyway... back on topic. I think there will be a new Type-moon anime coming out. Something about the female Shiki (Ryogi Shiki) from the written novels (Kara no Kyoukai).

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember seeing a youtube video showing Ryogi Shiki in some anime. If that's enough to make Type-moon fans jump, then we also got the Fate/Stay Night prequel in the making.

I'm thinking more people will start reading or watching Nasu's genius creations. Type-moon hijack, HOOOOO!


EDIT: I found the video featuring Kara no Kyoukai. I think it's coming in August.

Tsubasa has it on pre-order.

As soon as he gets it, that CD's getting installed on at least like five different machines.

So I got Arc's true ending in the game. It really was pretty close to the anime. I really, really don't see what people hate about the anime. It has better music, it's fully animated, and IMO the art is better. And thanks to Kinoku Nasu's longwindedness, they cover everything needed for Arc's scenario in the anime.

I guess that's really the difference. For people who care about characters other than Arcueid, the anime drastically shortchanges them. But for me, Arc is so much better than the others, that I really don't care.

I mean, at this point, I'm not sure I'll even go back and play it over again. Arcueid's ending is the only one my heart is in. I might enjoy the Hisui or Kohaku endings but it seems like so much work to get there now that I've finished it once...

Akiha > all

WRONG!

Sacchin is > all.

Now she just needs her own route.
Isn't it sad, Sacchin? T__T

Joking, joking, I swear!

I really, really don't see what people hate about

Akiha. Is. Not. An. Awesome. Tsudere. Imouto.

Aoko. Is. Not. Kansai-ben. Toting. Witch.

Near. Zero. Backstory. For. Arcueid. And. Others.

To put it frankly,

"Hmm... Cover-up Music and different Art style."

"I've got it!"

"It is shit."

Sacchin is awesome, but she's no Arcueid. If she had a path of her own, though, I'd probably play it.

Akiha is maybe a little hotter in the games but it still does nothing for me.

Aoko, whatever, even in the original game she doesn't get that much time. It's only in Melty Blood that she develops that much personality. So it's not really something that the original Tsukihime did better than the anime. Heck, in the first volume of the manga she only gets two pages.

There was plenty of backstory for the other characters, including Arcueid. I don't know what you're saying is missing, but I played through her true ending and didn't really get any significant new information. It was just elaborated in excruciating Nasu-detail. I mean, come on, people don't hate on the Fate/stay night anime just because it followed mostly the Fate arc. There are all kinds of details and important background information that are only hinted in that anime.

Also, the amusement park episode of the anime was one of my favorites - it had me literally laughing out loud. And I didn't encounter that scene at all in the game. Is it Kagagetsu Touya stuff, or is it anime-original?

So I discovered that playing Tsukihime with the anime soundtrack really does work and it makes it a hell of a lot better. We'll see if I have the patience to make it through Akiha's, Hisui's, and Kohaku's arcs. It'll probably require a LOT of time...

Looking forward to the Tsukihime remake with Sacchin path, oh yeah! Of course... it'll likely be a long while before it's translated...

In the  meantime, Kara no Kyoukai is hot.

Trust me, you won't miss the Arc and Ciel side of the moon in these storylines. They're good. Real good.

You're half right. I missed Arc, but Akiha's path was good anyway. It didn't change my opinions on anything but it was enjoyable. I really wanted there to be a real Satsuki path.

I got talked into playing through Ciel's path, too, now. It's already bugging me but I'm hoping it'll get better once I've passed the generic start-of-game stuff. I wish he'd stop lying about how "beautiful" Curry-senpai is.

So the series "CANAAN" just started. It's based on a section from Chunsoft's 428 visual novel for Wii, a section that has story collaboration and character designs by Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi of TYPE-MOON. And... well, it's really good. Animation is by a new studio, P.A. Works, and the first episode is pretty high quality all around - except for the 3DCG, which is... kinda blegh. But that doesn't matter. What does matter is that the show is good, it's pretty TYPE-MOON, and you should watch it.

OP by Faylan (Ga-Rei -Zero- insert songs) is pretty solid, too.
