Review

Despite the presence of vampires, demons, and executioners, Tsukihime stays well away from the sort of action-based stories that you'd expect from those sorts of characters, instead setting its stall out firmly as a character-based show. While these episodes do a good job of filling in who's what and teasing you along by slowly revealing everyone's secrets, the slow pacing again spoils the feel of the show. Tsukihime's not a bad series by any stretch of the imagination, but it would be considerably more enjoyable if it was a little quicker about getting to where it's going. (Anime-On-DVD)
