Shingetsutan Tsukihime 12 (Final)


I can't say I'm dissatisfied with how everything ended. It was conclusive, at least.

The series as a whole, however, was a bit of a disappointment, especially given my high initial expectations. The original story from the game obviously has a lot of meat to it, but it felt as if the show never really dug deep enough to offer anything truly compelling. For too long, serious story development was missing in action, and when it finally did appear, it was rushed and clunky. There were moments in which the series shined, but overall, I found it to be a mediocre experience.

Mystery can make a show enjoyable and addictive, but you have to stop raising new questions at some point and start offering answers. Unfortunately, it wasn't until very near the end that everything started to come together, and by then, I was already bored with the whole affair. It wasn't the result of poor writing, necessarily - more poor execution.

An awesome animate! The music is particularly attractive.It creates that kind of melodramic and mysterious effect.I have to admit that the characters are not fully developed. I never played the game. There are too many questions in my mind even after finishing all the episodes. All the important things are stuffed in the last two or three episodes. However, it's already a luxury listening to those people's voices and the music.
