Practically everything I know about Tsukihime I learned from streams of Melty Blood, and there's like eight different versions of Arcueid there. Does Shiki sleep with all of them?

i read tsukihime when i was 11 and it brutally destroyed my brain and led to my sick obsession with all things type-moon. if i had just played super mario galaxy which i had bought on the same day this all could have been avoided

Arcueid has good fashion sense, and I too only know who she is through Melty Blood.

there's 3, and technically yes because it's all the same person

Arcueid Brunestud is the normal arc
Red Arcueid is Arcueid who's given into her desire for blood
Archetype Earth is arcueid at full power

If you must blink, do it now.
Melty Blood was my introduction to a lot of Nasu's stuff.

I didn't know anything about anyone at the time, so in true fighting game fashion I just picked the character I thought looked coolest: Nero.

The other reason I guess I haven't tried going back to tsukihime was the news that they were doing a remake. Course didn't realize at the time that type moon would take their sweet time on that, if at all.

apparently crunchyroll is putting a bunch of makoto shinkai movies up this weekend. which of these are good? I've seen voices of a distant star and 5 cm per second, but apparently he tends to repeat the same themes a lot and i'm wondering if it's worth watching any of the others

This was years ago, some guy at my anime club running a bootleg copy of what I presume was an earlier build.

Other characters were a schoolboy, two maids, a turtleneck vampire, and a woman in a T-shirt and jeans. In a vacuum, I went for the guy who could summon unicorns as a guard breaker.

Made it funnier when I actually got into Tsukihime proper and it turned out Nero was a huge chump.

Those two are probably fine for the most part. I remember liking The Place Promised in our Early Days but hell if I remember what it was about other than a girl trapped in a maybe metaphorical tower and two dudes wanting to fly a plane into it to break her out.

That's not too surprising. It's a recurring weakness in Narita's work.

Dude writes some great characters, but his plots are often just "Get everybody and the stuff together," and everything goes wrong. The end result is a lot of solid character chemistry but not much in the way of a compelling narrative.

Baccano's a bit better about this, but not always.

I watched a few episodes of both shows several years ago and couldn't muster the interest to stick with either one at the time but always meant to go back and give them another try. I'm putting a little more effort into it this time so hopefully I can actually finish Durarara and also get around to Baccano eventually.

A lot of my early fighting game character preferences were informed by who had the sickest-looking (or funniest) sprite animations.

Even nowadays when they released Skullgirls I knew I was gonna main Peacock from the first promotional video.

None of them are bad, you've just pretty much already watched all of them if you've already seen any one of them before. I think I liked Voices the most anyway.

E: I still don't understand what was wrong with the original title "Beyond The Clouds", it rolls off the tongue so much easier than "The Place Promised in Our Early Days".

What the gently caress does "Nrvnqsr" even mean? It's pronounced "Nero" but it's spelled by slamming your face on the keyboard so I'm assuming it's not just that.

It's Jewish numerology I think. Nero=666=Nrvnqsr, they're the same word.

This is also why one interpretation of Revelations is that it's referring to Nero the Emperor.

You don't find out who the true mastermind and best villain/girl of Tsukihime is until the end of route 4.

i woudln't really say he died like a chump, he got a cool fight scene.

like i said, tsukihime only has 3 fights total. and nrvnqsr honestly puts up more of a fight than roa, even though roa is the 'final boss.'

Nero's fight was pretty boss in the manga. Probably in the original VN as well.

Dude gets shafted in the anime though (which exists), but then again so does everyone.
