Reviewing The Anime That Doesn't Exist 

I remember being young and playing Melty blood at the arcade over and over since all the stoners were playing third strike and MVC and no one seemed to ever be playing it. I had such fun I’d play it for hours because people would rarely challenge me. Until the owner of the arcade one day came over and put his quarter in and just demolished me with Red Arcueid. He told me I played well and started to tell me about the anime and the lore and we ended up watching it with friends after the arcade closed. Good times man.. I miss that place so much

After Heaven's Feel, they probably going to reboot Fate route. Fate has a secret ending that can only be unlocked after completing all three, and this is actually a good time to remake this route

Coming here after the Remake announcement

I for one remember being very bored with this anime. And I'm not one to get bored with anime. Hell I watched Haruhi's infamous endless eight all the way through... at least EIGHT TIMES, no joke.

Definitely other factors... leaving out many character plot points or motivations even if its the main route... Bland choreography for fights, completely ignoring Shiki alternate personality or vampire hunting persona. There's alot. Adamittedly it is a good introduction before looking into the manga or reading the light novel.

This aged beautifully lol

It's because of the anime that I'm a fan of Tsukihime

I love this show so far I haven't finished it yet and I hope that they can make a remake or season 2 or something similar cuz I would really like to watch that

I watched the anime before VN so I didnt had any problems with it, I really liked the music and backgrounds as you mentioned. I thought I was alone who liked those stuff. They are specially good since its an old anime people should cut it some slack they didnt had the budget like Fate series have today. rather i liked it and made me wanna play VN , in my opinion VN was the best followed by the anime I didnt read the manga , wasnt looking interesting enough

I suppose this adaption probably would’ve gone down better if it was 24 episodes. I still think it should exist, since I have seen far worse anime, adaptions included.

Personally my favourite thing about the anime is the art, and the way they used subdued colours. In my opinion it fits with the atmosphere and it’s not something that I’ve seen used in other anime (granted I haven’t watched much of the pre-2000’s shows). The plot is another matter, and since I’m nowhere near finishing the first route (Arcueid) of the visual novel, I can’t really comment on what it missed. There were random things that were mentioned yet never explained, and things that felt totally unnecessary to the plot, character development, and setting. The whole anime evoked a sense of mystery, similar to Kara No Kyoukai, but unlike the former it never explored it properly nor made any sense of it. From my point of view, it definitely wasn’t the best Type-Moon anime adaptation, and definitely could do with a reboot after the visual novel gets one, but overall it wasn’t so bad that it ‘shouldn’t exist’. Then again, my opinion could change after I finish the novel, since I’d know the full extent of what they left out.

I watched it before i played the visual novel, so I didnt have any expectation on its anime quality. That was my fortune. I still like both of them.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE HD VERSION OF THE ANIME?

This anime became shirou and saber

I loved this anime. Still do.

I love how when you said "I will admit that" it sounded like "I will omit that" which is nearly the opposite. English amirite?

Well, the remake is out. Some of us are still waiting for Tsukihime 2, Satsujinki and Dark Six(whatever the hell that is).

It's definitely underrated. It's probably at least like a 7/10, held back mostly by plotholes, a seemingly rushed ending, and poor representation of the antagonists and action. Going into it blind with modest expectations I still enjoyed it a lot.

i came to tsukihime after playing Melty Blood: Actress Again. i wanted to see the source material behind these fun looking characters. when i realized it was a vampire story, i braced myself for disappointment as i usually do with that genre. and then i heard the voice acting. i always watch the JP voices because i'm trying to learn Japanese. so, what i got was voice acting on par with Elfen Lied. "ok", i thought. "i can make this work." so, i keep watching. i watched the first three episodes, and... while there were things i liked about it, i opted out of continuing. instead, i listened to the fandom's advice and read the manga, and formed my opinion on the series off of that. (my opinion being... "i like it. it's nothing groundbreaking. but the vamps are cool. not VTM:B cool, but still cool. my one real complaint is i really didn't like the protagonist. i find him annoying. overall, 7/10.") as for the anime, i'd give that a 5/10. not as bad as everyone says, but there are better ways to enjoy this story. tl:dr, it did not impact me that much. the problem was my inability to get invested in shiki's story, due to not liking him enough to care.

What are you talking about? There's no Tsukihime anime. No, it doesn't exist at all.

I want to see the remake. The Blue glass moon opening is one of the best anime openings iv ever heard.

I rlly want to see ufotable remake this into an anime

The ending and the rushed development don't bother me so much. Like you said, there are definitely some redeeming aspects for this anime, especially the music and general atmosphere. My biggest complaint is that characters (most notably Arcueid) come off very different in this anime than they do in the manga or VN. There are scenes where they don't even feel like the same people. So while as a stand alone anime viewing Tsukihime can be an enjoyable experience, I'm with most fans in recommending the manga instead.

if it weren’t for the tsukihime anime i wouldn’t have gone out of my way to read the vn

I remember not understanding the anime. But I did watch it and didn’t knew it was related to Fate.

i see you have taken the clue from Rising sempai to review stuff that does not exist :D

I actually like this anime and I even played the VN

The art makes them look freaking old in the anime.

I may be wrong bit even still this show will be a 8 out of 10 for me

As an anime only who never read the manga or play the vn, totally a great watch alright. Sometimes i don't even understand how it's a 6/10 as i don't really feel whole plot hole fuss and all. Though i do kind of understand the disappointment of someone who watched an anime expecting something to happen just for it to not happen. I would problably give this anime an 8/10 instead but maybe it does deserve some of the hate

I took a shot every time he mispronounced Tsukihime or another Japanese word/name, and now I'm in the hospital.

Tsukihime anime wasnt bad if you have exams and anything but studying is interesting

I might be weird but I got into the series from the anime I liked it I might read the manga now

where to read it and whats type moon and nasu

Will there be a season 2?

The reason I would say it’s an anime that doesn’t exist is because I can’t find it anywhere, where am I supposed to watch it?

So people are saying that this is the Aruicrad (probably spelling that wrong) route? Does that mean it's like Fate/stay night where there's multiple routes? And if so what are they?

It had a horrible ending. I liked the anime hated the ending because Arcueid died. And especially after Shiki made love to her. That's what broke me.

Thanks for your vidéo and regard

When I watched carnival phantasm I always thought who are these other girls and this boy which I had never seen in fate series now I understand

I think the pros that you raise are fair. However...i feel like a lot of the cons VASTLY outweight them. Did we really need a pointless amusement park episode that doesnt go anywhere except for tension between the girls? Why even add akiha's demonic heritage if it wasnt even going to be a thing you were going to explain? Why focus on sacchin and arihiko for SO LONG when that time could have been spent focusing on actually making the plot work? Why did they erase the entire concept of Nanaya shiki from the story(if you notice, not once is Tohno EVER shown to be a badass like in the source material, he just runs away for most of the series or gets lucky flailing the knife around) Why do all the girls have their characters SO subdued that they literally all act the same?(When you cant tell Kohaku and Hisui apart because they barely emote, that's a problem) Why say your focusing on Arc's route yet DONT focus on the origins of ROA, the backstory of Akiha, SHIKI and Nanaya, so the entire climax of the story doesnt make sense? Who is ciel and why is she even in the show? Did they even explain anything about her in the first place? I feel like its more annoying because a lot of these criticisms could have been avoided if they had actually trimmed a lot of the plot down as its own thing, so there were not a bazillion hanging plot threads and tons of wasted space. If you wanted to focus on the core story, just ignore akiha's demonic origins and just say she's the normal sister. If you want to explain away ciel just say she's a church person coming to kill ROA. If you want to explain ROA, just say he's a vampire that reincarnated in this era that has nothing to do with shiki or akiha or the mansion or Arc anything. If you didnt want to fully explain Shiki's history and all that, dont even allude to it, just say he was a dude who was in a near death accident that mysteriously gave him eye powers. If you want to explain Arc, just say she's a special vampire who kills other vampires. Shit like that are so simple to do in order to make this adaption a fairly simple to understand story, yet they didnt do that and needlessly complicated it in a 12 episode timespan with no payoff. I think THAT'S primarily why people say the anime doesnt exist. Because its not just a failure as an anime adaption of a vastly more expansive source material(like FSN 06, which is actually average to good on its own), its bad as its own as a individual work and just brings up too many questions than it ever bothers to ever answer.

I'm learning the series cuz u know the series order is kind of messy since it also got an alter

I’ve been looking for the anime, but can’t find it. I don’t understand what the story is about

Someone please tell me where to watch this

This anime had all the kinoku nasu elements, the atmosphere, suspense , mystery and the dark feel to it, its the pacing that drags the story. Everything feels slow, you want to go to sleep put this thing on.😅😅

The way he pronounced tsukihime at the start though…

I remember the firsttime i saw this anime, and it was seriously wierd for me. Fast forward almost 12 years later, and i watched it again, this time having played the og game, and knowing the nasuverse from notes to ataraxia. This anime is said to not exist because it is absurdly weak compare dto the source material, and really, only the music saves it from being the absolute worst thing i've ever watched. The characters are stiff, they don't emote the way they normally would, side characters get their exposition over even massive plot points (i love sachhin and akiho, but they should not be as prominent as they are in the story). Hisui and Kohaku? Their characters are decimated, arc, instead of being one of the most fun characters is more often than not rather dark and dull with her attitude, shiki gets virtually none of his badass moments the way they should be, and the list goes on. This anime could easily have been worse, but it _should_ have been so much better considering when it came out, there were leagues more anime from decades earlier that were far truer to their source material, and had leagues better animation.

As someone who only got into anime in 2020, I honestly don't get the hate beyond the animation not being as high production quality as the Ufotable series and some skipped characterization.

you should listen to Arcueid voice in Latino ( Spanish) is amazing the tone

The fate route should get a remake

2:57 BRO WHAT IS THAT SCOOBY DOO AHH FACE

The characters all have gakuen handsome chins.

As someone who doesn't really give a fuck about the source material or any type moon shit, I enjoyed the anime a lot

I actually saw the anime first, then played the vn…now the remake, I prefer this over fate/stay night tbh

Well now we have the Tsukhime remake now don't we?

I found the manga after the remake was announced and just started chapter 1

"tsUkihimY"

melty blood comes from here :)

i personally actually found the anime to be the best anime i have seen storywise alone(i like other anime more,but for secondary reasons). it makes good use of main and sidecharacters and i did not actually notice anything being amiss when i watched it,so it is a bit of a surprise that there was stuff cut. it just occurred to me that ciel or the church had to have erased everyones memories at the end,but i guess it is the opposite and the memorything happened at the beginning. doesnt really matter. and the thing with the point of death...i literally understood it the moment the point was shown onscreen. really,i did not even have to wait for the guy to actually die to understand what was happening xD it is a giant point of "hit me here!" where multiple of his lines ended and it was the only time in the series where shiki was getting ready to stab someone instead of slashing them. i liked every minute of the anime actually and it actually felt like the anime was 24 episodes contentwise. when i say i like every minute...i actually mean minute,not second. i dont even mean the repeated short section after the short break,that is fine. but sometimes,the anime just takes a while to continue on certain shorts. it feels like they just did not manage to hit the episodelengh sometimes and then just did that bs. if that did not exist,then i would call the anime really great

Bro is spitting nothing. Its clear he never read the vn before making the video.

Read the manga if you don't want to read the VN, it's really good and it has a extended ending.

I’ve only ever read the manga. Never played the game and didn’t know there was even an anime or nonexistent anime.

Bruh I watched this as a teen. Found out It was for a game or from a game or something.

Listen the thing about keeping the Satsuki parts is more confusing because the anime and manga actually cut her arc. The manga is more agregious for this because they had the time to actually put it in. Not just that but the animes portrayal of the nero fight was absolutely lame. They cut out bits of shikis character arc during that fight.

1:07 screw you worldwide web it exists

ah yeas arcade bumstead

"sukihimi"

Yes

I would watch the anime IF I KNEW WHERE THE HELL TO WATCH IT

Wait this was your video

I am fan of lunar legend

The manga is one of my favourite mangas of all times

An anime based on the manga narrative would work. The manga tells you everything you need to know for the story to make sense and enjoy it. If they took their time with it, they could bring in more elements from other routes. Otherwise, there is no Tsukihime anime, but if there WAS, it would have two of the best anime soundtracks of all time.

I love this anime, it got me into the Nasuverse, but the understanding of the presenter from the dub is... how can I put it politely... flawed.

Wait so the anime does exist I knew it

This anime actually really needs a re adaptation by ufotable soon or later. I literally has not watched it but i can say that this anime will not disappoint any viewer if it gets an another adaptation.

I feel like the anime does exactly what its meant to, gets you just interested enough to go read the vn

Ciel killed the villain and the vampire told tohro that she is a member of church and uses magic

Ah this anime, I watched it but it was a mistake I did xD, I was gonna play "lunar: the silver star" and somehow ended up with this anime lol, maybe cause I was looking up anime for lunar and ended up with this

Any melty blood game fans ?

Neco arc

Welp Thank you for this!! Now that i know it's plot then i can enjoy 1/3 of Carnival Phantasm now xD

Anime exists

Who saw him 😂

So Tsukihime is another Melty Blood?

It's alright it average maybe below average

This anime got me into type moon material. This anime got me into the Tsukihime visual novel and Garden of sinners movies. This anime drew me in and even though it was a shallow adaption. The opening and ending theme and what I saw in the anime told me that there is much more to this series. The visual novel is on another level. The anime does have good music and great art style but that's about it. The manga is good and the visual novel is amazing.

Tsukihimmy

It wasn't that bad. It hasn't aged that badly either. The thing is... it's not as great as the VN and it's rushed. But, let's be objective: it's impossible to properly adapt such a complex story in just twelve episodes. It's not the first and won't be the last anime not to match the quality of the source material. Could it have been better? Definitely. Does it deserve a remake with a better pacing? Absolutely. Does it deseve the hate it's received? Not at all.

it's a good anime but i shit and piss my pants at the end, i recommend just getting the nv

So does this thing have an anime or doesn't it.

I actually like that filter/gain whatever called, I feel like it compliments the tone of Tsukihime well and I'm not sure if I would like a modern redo looking exactly like the UFOtable Fate/ and Kara no Kyoukai Anime. Since I just watched the Anime as it's own thing without comparing it I felt it was fine.

there wasnt enough neco arc

but I saw this anime

Honestly, looking at this I think I can say that Tsukihime fans got off lightly all things considered. Contrast that with what the Dies Irae fans have to put up with.

I just figured the anime was supposed to be an Experimental art experience.

Remake anime with 24 episodes at least

Better love story than twilight
