LOL SHIKI SPREADING AIDS.
what if arcueid is pregnant now. o:
ahhhh... what do you expect from "one night stands" (well it wasnt really a one night stand) but then can vampires get aids? like it would suck cuz wow there are so many people these days that have AID them vamps have watch what they eat.. (i feel sorry for them)
Tohno Shiki and Nanaya Shiki had switched places. The Nanaya family is responsible for exterminating demons, while the Tohno family carries the special vampire bloodline. When Nanaya Shiki found his entire clan covered in blood with corpses all over the places, he collapsed and was taken away by the former leader of the Tohno family who also happens to be a vampire and the father of Tohno Akiha and Tohno Shiki. The guy adopted Nanaya Shiki because he shared the same name as his own son and his abilities were also similar as that they both wield switchblades and have the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Only difference was that one is a vampire and the other is human. However..
Tohno Shiki became the container for Roa, a vampire who made the white princess of the moon, Arcueid Brunsteid a vampire by tricking her into drinking a special red liquid on a white flower that will quench her non-stop thirst. That special red liquid is blood and it made her into a blood-drinking vampire who desires to prey on humans but due to her strong will. She spent her past 800 years by just sleeping, gathering information, and killing Roa over and over again. By doing so, Arcueid do not require the taste of human blood to survive and thus, avoids killing humans.
Unfortunately, as Arcueid grows closer to Shiki, she starts to lose control of her strong consciousness and becomes fragile, once again desires the taste of human blood to quench her hunger and thirst. The more Arcueid desires human blood, the more Ciel-senpai found it necessary to kill her. After all, Ciel was the container for the bloody murderer shinso Roa meaning she once killed for blood..
Confusing parts..
Nanaya Shiki and Tohno Shiki are two different people but then, this makes no sense. Why did Nanaya Shiki killed Arcueid Brunsteid when they first met, turning her into 108 pieces of corpse which caused her regeneration abilities quite some toll. For that matter, Arcueid originally hated Nanaya Shiki and wanted to seek revenge by getting close to him, so she can kill and drink his blood as means of vengeance but somehow, she became happy hanging out with Shiki as that she hadn't done so for more than 800 years. In fact, she was alone from the beginning prior to her 800 years of loop where she only kills Roa and sleeps as a means of lifestyle. Tohno Shiki after getting possessed by Roa attempted to murder Akiha which caused Nanaya Shiki to take the stab for Akiha, causing Nanaya to die as a result. Seeing how the situation appeared, the father of Akiha and Shiki kills Tohno Shiki, the container of Roa but unfortunately.. Tohno Shiki didn't die and instead tricked Akiha into releasing him from his dungeon.
Nanaya Shiki died as a result of protecting Akiha but Akiha as a vampire gave him some of her life force, reviving Nanaya Shiki who also lost his memory as a result of death was tricked into believing that he had a car accident and had shards of glass pierced into his chest. More over, Nanaya Shiki was also deceived into believing that he is Tohno Shiki, the elder brother of Tohno Akiha while Nanaya Shiki do not exist. Unfortunately, thanks Arcueid.. Nanaya Shiki regained his memory and everything. Thus, the battle awaits them..
Pretty interesting, I don't see why this anime is bad. The story is rather inconsistent with the visual novel but it is common practice for animation studios to modify stories of mangas and visual novels when making an anime. Shingetsutan Tsukihime is no exception.
Its rare in mainstream anime to see a scene that leaves no doubt that two people made love. Generally producers kind leave it somewhat vague for the most part.
Well the plot has become much clearer now, but somehow the whole thing still is missing something. Tension perhaps.
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii
There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov
Now that is good. I am convinced that the love is real, unlike a certain anime
Kimi ni Todoke
which never even had the couple kiss in 37 episodes worth of animation. (Not saying I'm hatin it, it is just...you know.) I really liked Arcueid being with Shiki IMO, they had a rough and eventful start, and that desire to pursue him made her subconsciously becomes a fun and enjoyable time for her, despite being 'meaningless'; she found something which she has never known: happiness.
Besides the romance and the sex, I would like to praise the episode's execution, it was superbly done. Everything was downright concise and articulate, answers given clear regarding the 'killer' Shiki's identity and his origins. Although my guess was slightly wrong, thinking that it was the other Shiki which killed Arcueid, I was correct to think of two physically separate Shikis and the fact that Roa is involved with the Tohno in some way or another.
I guess the subsequent episode would be the finale, although it would be expected and likely uneventful. Nevertheless, this anime really kept its fundamentals and plot scenarios extremely coherent, and I am considering giving it a high score for it.
5/5

Just kidding.
Did not see that comeing, but loved it
I never say a NO to a anime/manga sex scene
Yes Im a pervert deal with it

holy crap the MC actually got to bang someone. If thats not a red flag I dont know what is. We got some more info here and it seems shikis adopted father was kinda a dick. Well off to the final episode.
I didn't expect that sex scene from a wimp like him. Way to go, bro! Damn, Arcueid is yummy. I would've screwed her since episode 2!
However, if I were Shiki, I would go for the Akiha route. She's so my type, and Shiki is alive thanks to her. It's only natural that they should be connected physically as well!
Lots of interesting revelations yet again. I wonder why Shiki and Roa have access to Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. I need to read about that later.
- nearing of the end of the series, this last episode will be rushed as hell, no doubt.
- Shiki was killed by the other Shiki? This is getting confusing?
- Long hair Arc looks cute, not that that’s her though.
- That hug though!
Everything is clear, but it ruins the entire anime, frankly. It's a bad episode. The real Shiki kills his adopted son for no apparent reason, and the father and sister don't tell Shiki from the beginning, and he's in danger.
