(Tsukihime (月姫) is a Japanese adult visual novel created by the dōjin circle Type-Moon, who first released it at the Winter Comiket in December 2000. In 2003, it was [NOT] adapted into both an [NON-EXISTENT] anime television series, Lunar Legend Tsukihime, animated by J.C.Staff, and a manga series, which was serialized between 2003 and 2010 in MediaWorks seinen magazine Dengeki Daioh, with 10 volumes released)

If you're watching this comment and let me know where you're coming from! I'm interested to hear how you found this video.

Correction bro. Near side is arcueid and ciel, far side is the other 4 girls.

I also agree with you that the manga should ideally be the starting point of anyone who doesn't want to read the novel in general and I'd recommend it to people who have read the vn as well considering it is the basis of the remake according to nasu.

Personally speaking it does justice to not just near side but also certain critical elements of far side and melty, as well as kagetsu tohya that were not in the original novel for various reasons.

What Tsukihime anime? I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s absolutely no such thing as a Tsukihime anime! How can anyone watch an anime that doesn’t exist?

Official Translation coming next Lesssgooo

Damn it looks so similar to FSN 1:53 the characters almost look the same, I should have read it ages ago. Also the early 2000s VN vibe is so comfy, that alone makes me want to read the original.
This should have more views, great video, mate. +1 sub

[nuetella]

Yes, even if its dated af i still say yes

[arcwiz]

Having finished the whole visual novel a couple of weeks ago, I absolutely recommend it. Hisui's route made me feel things that no other VN had made me feel before.

[myolgiden]

I'll be honest about remake.
Nasu messed up Tsukihime so hard.
Most of the new characters do not fit the game and its atmosphere. They are just out of the place.
Especially Noel and that doctor. They just don't feel like Tsukihime character. Doctor is the worst one but... Come of the think maybe loli Noel is the worst lol 😂 Nasu must have been on drugs while writing that character and thinking her design.
Mario was just... meh, not needed but if we have him it won't hurt game.
I really like Vlov though. He fits Tsukihime well and I have no complain whatsoever about him.
But why don't we have Nero? Seeing Nero and Vlov together in the novel would have been amazing.
Also, why all the girls are way too skinny? I hate that ufotable design, making all the girls extra skinny and only make their boobs bigger. I prefer 2003 anime designs (which reflects og tsukihime vn character designs perfectly) over new ufotable ones any time.
Soundtrack and Ciel route ending remake was really good though. Og Tsukihime Ciel route and endings were really bad, so I must give credit Nasu about remake and make better Ciel's route. (even though Ciel route have that extremely annoying Noel the route itself still better than old Tsukihime)

Also we don't know when will near side routes become playable and how Nasu will mess up it, so playing the original Tsukihime novel is still a good choice.

[yourassistant]

Died at the anime part but i will admit for such a trash anime the soundtrack was one of the best i've heard in atleast a 2000s anime and i will always listen to it from time to time because its just that good.

[joeriley]

I think it's worth mentioning that there are releases of the game (That are pretty easy to track down) that completely mod out the H-Scenes.
I personally will say that I do think all of the routes are equally interesting, as I do find the vampiric lore stuff quite fascinating (Especially with how it's further expounded upon within Melty Blood, with the existence of Red Arcueid as a creation of TATARI being based on the few scenes in which she loses control in the original Tsukihime), though building further on Shiki and the residents of the Tohno mansion as actual characters proves to be an interesting point in the other routes, though I believe that intrigue doesn't work quite as well without the Near Side routes of Arcuied and Ciel building up some of the mystery behind them.

[soulmantis]

Yes you should. It's not the same as the new one.

[ltraltier]

I liked the arcueid route more than the far side routes.
The anime was garbage and even added in nonsense scenes that didn't happen in the VN.

[fox_evo]

I just finished the Manga so I searched Tsukihime on google and so many things popped up visual novels, sequel, video games? I am so confused I just thought it was only a manga

[のこジャンプ]

man the part 3:47 was the funniest and the dumbest shit shiki have talked to ciel
i dont know but nasu really smoked too much that he said fuck this WE BALLIN with this part

[Yuseids]

How to install the original melty blood?

[Meklein]

TBH this video coulda been a 2 second video of an image of the word yes.

[gldwkqg]

Both have 全然 different 雰囲気.
We should read them three. Original, kagetsu, melty blood.
But remake great too.

[strykerzero]

Should you read Tsukihime?

Of course, it has the cute Kohaku as a main heroine... Kohaku is the best girl and has the best ending, and if you don't agree with me I'll wait for you behind the school tomorrow to fix it!!!


Nice video, I already read it but after listening to what you said it made me want to play it again. It's a shame we have to wait another 10 years for Other Side of Red Garden's routes (and the worst thing is that they haven't announced a Shiki's master route...)

[syedshakaibanwar]

Can you choose which routes to read or do I have to go through Ciel and Arc's routes as well?

[TooCulturedSaiful]

Hey, can this tsukihime playing on phone?
