Toono Shiki was involved in a major accident in his childhood. He was so severely injured that people thought he was dead, but he miraculously survived. However, due to that incident, Shiki is sent away from the Toono household and put into the care of a distant relative's family.
Ever since the accident Shiki has changed. He now sees lines at which things and living beings completely "break" when stabbed with a blade. Troubled by this ability, young Shiki is given a pair of glasses by a women he calls Teacher, which stop the "lines of death" from being seen. Thanks to this, Shiki was able to live normally up until now.
But then he receives a sobering letter. The head of the Toono household — his father's household — has died. By orders of the new head of the household, he must return at once to the Toono house.
Shiki, now a high school student, thus returns to the Toono household, where all does not seem to be right...

reasons
Similar (if not the same) setting except switched roles of protagonists, but not in all aspects. Also, Tsukihime takes place in Nasuverse that is well elaborated in Kara no Kyoukai as well - well, it's only natural since it's Type-Moon production.

If you dont have read the manga then this anime, its truly almost complete, the other thing (eroge and manga) are not needed, but if you want a more complex devolpment of all characters (the relation between Arcueid and shiki, a deep view of Ciel senpai and overall the true end) then you must optionally read the manga, but overall is truly optional, this anime is beautiful as it is no other thing are needed

Probably one of the best anime ever made with a fascinating atmosphere and main heroine. A must see series that will prove to you that anime is not just an entertainment, but a high art!

For readers of the VN; I warn you.
Even though it is supposedly based on Arcueid's route, the storyline in the anime feels much more like a 6th route. A lot of vital scenes have either; been changed, been left out or replaced with completely different ones.
If you still insist on watching this, try to think of it as that 6th route which you weren't able to read in the VN.

Not the best Type-Moon work for sure, but I still found it fascinating and enjoyed it very much. It's even worth watching solely for the atmosphere and Type-Moon style storytelling.

I dont know why, but I REALLY HATE THE MAIN CHARACTER, I've never seen such a wimp, idiotic, useless (and yet powerful) character. On the other hand, if you ignore him and put yourself in his place, its really nice the anime.

It's good, but confusing at the start but the end explains everything and you will see kinda satisfying ending.

Awesome. Some scenes make it obvious, that the original work was a game. eg: sceene switches and so. I didnt like the ending, but it was most likely the only way to end it for good.

Somewhere in between average and good. Had its moments, but overall it could, SHOULD have been better. I'd like to say "for type moon fans", except that they would hate this show even more than those that don't know the source material.

female, bloodtype: A, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., elegantno description set, energy drainThis character can drain energy out of a victim. Most often, this happens through somehow sucking energy out of the victim`s body, but it may also involve absorbing the entire victim or some other mean.

For a similar band worn across the forehead primarily for athletic purposes, see headband., introvertIntroverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.
Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.
Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair., pettankoPettanko refers to a female character that places a great deal of importance on the fact that she is flat chested. It does not refer to characters that merely happen to be flat chested, but do not make any importance of this fact. The character may be extremely proud of the fact that she is flat chested, or extremely embarrassed of the fact., protection complexA character has a protection complex if the character is overly protective of other characters, beyond what would be considered a "normal" or "expected" duty of care. The magnitude of overprotection can vary. It can be as low as constantly nagging someone to "stay safe". It can be as extreme as the protector making it their mission in life to protect the other character.
