I'll be honest right away – I didn't get a buzz from watching it. Everything went like the most typical harem, coupled with the fast-paced graphics of 2003, and as always, this harem was saved only by the 12-episode format and the mystical component. As it is, everything looks crumpled and contrived, cropped and poorly glued. It's too banal, there are too many girls around, there are too many vampires, action, and "reality lines." I don't even want to say anything much, because I hardly remember the anime itself, and I don't want to offend the fans. On the plus side, I really liked Ciel (I dream of a big and beautiful figure with her) and was hysterical when I watched the Carnival. Oh, they gutted this anime.
Sadly... For those who want to see a good ending and understand everything better, I recommend reading the manga, and if you're too lazy, just read the latest issue. You won't regret it - this is exactly the case when both the drawing and the plot of the manga are superior to the anime (there are a couple of unpleasant moments, but you can scroll through them).
@RinaSatsu: if someone vilifies Kara no Kyokai, then in nine cases out of ten this person not only did not read the ranobe, but also did not watch the anime to the end. The tenth category includes those who simply do not like this genre. Tsukihime is a less "adult" anime. It has a very simplified plot, a lot of emphasis is placed on the vampire theme - in the manga, more emphasis is placed on the present and foster families of GG, the activities of the Church, etc. (although the main line of GG and the Arcueid still prevails). And more importantly, according to Tsukihime, this is eroge with a rating of 18+, so the plot vector invariably goes in this direction. But, as I wrote before, manga is much better than anime, albeit for an amateur. The same can be said about Kara no Kyoukai - if you want to get into the plot, read ranobe. And now there's manga too.
I don't understand why everyone praises Tsukihime and vilifies Kara no Kyoukai so much. From normal novels with a coolly thought-out setting and the most gorgeous philosophical component, something dreary turned out. Neither the characters nor (most offensively) the setting are particularly revealed. Some kind of vampires, which are divided into two types, the church, and demon hunters... A monstrously small amount of time has been devoted to this. Instead, it's unclear what's going on for 12 episodes. It's dull, drawn out, and worthless. The whole plot can fit into 2-3 episodes, but instead we are forced to stare at the benches in the garden for half a minute, the landscapes outside the window (which are not particularly beautiful and the quality of the drawing is not different), the face of the main character, who during the battle can spend five minutes thinking about the meaning of life and other stuff. Sethra GG seemed like an interesting character, but alas! - you're a minor character, so we'll just say that you're a vampire. We'll show the experiences of GG for two episodes instead of revealing you better... I really hope that the manga and the game didn't come out so boring and that they managed to tell a little more about the characters than nothing.
