Shingetsu Tsukihime

[Dracos]

Tsukihime was one of many beautiful late 2003 animes.  It was a short, well controlled example of how to tell a slightly complicated tale.  It was well drawn, cohesive, well editted, and well written.  The tale these skills go to telling is the story of Tohno-kun, the lone son of an ancient clan who had been in a terrible accident which he has great difficulty remembering.  He also has a very special power.  He can see special lines that run across everything and wields a knife of death and can only control this by wearing a special set of glasses.  Add to this vampires, excellently done foreshadowing, and a genuinely well done tale of intrigue as Tonho hunts for what really is going on.

I highly recommend watching this.  It's only twelve episodes and a good enjoyable experience with some exciting knife fights and bits of romance.

Of note: The character on the right doesn't exist in the official continuity.  She was added for Melty Blood (a fan-created game).

Two years ago, there was a website that had some of the background they introduce in the game and leave out of the anime (What is magic?  All about Ciel and religion.  History of vampires and the moon.  Etc.), but I can't seem to find it ATM.  I'll post it if I find it in the near future.
