Is there anything else as gripping into the danger, horror the drama, the mindfuck? Is Tsukihime still unmatched as an experience? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wBCcsDtKBM
I feel like this VN is best enjoyed in your teenage years. The angst, mystery, violence, and sex all just perfectly encapsulated in this amateurish work of fiction. No other piece of media has ever made me feel this nostalgic for the melancholy of my youth.
>>743403782I finally read this recently and had really a great time. Probably was most engaged with the sisters' routes, and the classmate not having one herself is egregious considering she shows up in half of them. But apparently that's a complaint as ancient as 4chan itself
Eternal ReminderOnly secondaries hate Ciel.Ciel's route has legitimately some of the best scenes in the VN -Shiki staying the night and Ciel's conversation with him about kindness and atonement after he kills Arc and she stopped him from committing suicide, the entire fight between Shiki and Ciel in the school when Ciel's cold facade completely falls apart due to Shiki's sincere care for her and refusal to blame or hate her for having to kill him understanding the situation is forced on her, her being terrified of fighting an extremely pissed off Arc but doing so anyway to protect Shiki and getting her heart torn out in the process, Shiki going toe-to-toe with Arc a bit for possibly the only time in the novel, that scene of Roa accepting his death with dignity and the pages of his book fading away is pure kino, and the remnants of Nanaya sacrificing himself the same way SHIKI Ryougi did for Shiki in KNK so Tohno could live with Ciel, Ciel's crying over Shiki, etc, etc - There are plenty of great moments and Ciel, if you don't just take her at surface level is a very well-written, competent, yet tragic heroine with some of the most natural chemistry with Shiki and can be genuinely cute and endearing if you give her a chance. I, for one, think we should love and appreciate our Curry-senpai a bit more.
>>743403782Tsukihime Classic's soundtrack could be used as torture.
>>743408185As a newbie I thought it was alright, just a bit fucking LOUD, and with no way to turn down even the global game volume let alone music
>>743403782Just read this last year but it gives me some odd vibes, like I have a yearning for a place and time I've never been.
>>743408185the only issue I have with them is that they don't loop correctly
>>743409985>>743404991The music tinged with melancholy, pensive atmosphere of the writing, and somberly amateurish artwork all culminate in a visual novel of forlorn youth and general malaise. The creators grew up towards the end of Japan's booming economic bubble only to find themselves entering adulthood during the Lost Decade, a time of uncertainty and missed opportunities. To some effect, I believe this left its mark on their work, as I feel Tsukihime perfectly encapsulates the fear, worry, and wistful feelings that come from everyone's transitory adolescence. For such a shared experience it is no wonder we can find solace and nostalgia in the evocations of a familiar yet fantastical reminiscence.

>>743408142but the greatest moment of all...
>>743408142>the entire fight between Shiki and Ciel in the schoolI was sawing logs for her whole route up until that point. Amazing chapter, but I sadly didn't care for any of the others nearly as much
