Review
Tsukihime started well, but sadly fails to live up to its early promise. While there's plenty of atmosphere and a lot of good character work is done throughout the series, the main story has a hard time supporting them, while poor pacing robs the events and revelations on this volume of the impact they should have had. The end result is a show that falls short of expectations. (Anime-On-DVD)
