   Shingetsutan Tsukihime...
GO WATCH SHINGETSUTAN TSUKIHIME!!!! That show is freakin' awesome. I d/led it a few days ago, but I just watched it last night/ today. It was really really cool. The artwork was gorgeous. It was simple and smooth, but at the same time sharp. And the storyline is one that I had never really seen before. It was creative and a bit complex. But in the end it all works out well. My only real beef is that it is only 12 episodes long. It should be longer!!

Here is the basic plot:

Eight years ago, Tohno Shiki was involved in a car accident. After the accident, Shiki is sent away to live with some distant relatives. Ever since the accident, Shiki has had a secret. He has the Eyes of the Grim Reaper. That is, he can see the lines of death; by cutting one of those lines, the entire object, be it chair, desk, or person, falls to pieces. Then Shiki meets a woman that gives him a special pair of glasses that make these "lines of death" disappear. Thanks to this mysterious woman, Shiki is able to live a normal life.

Eight years later, Shiki recieves some disturbing news. The head of the Tohno family -- Shiki's father -- has died. By orders of the new head of the family-- Shiki's sister, Akiha-- Shiki must now return to his childhood home. This is where the story begins... and Shiki's "normal life" will never be the same.

-----------------------------

How awesome is that? You really ought to check it out. I mean, it has so much more than what it seems to based on the description, including my favorite twist ever in the end. Trust me on this one.... you will really enjoy this one.

NOTE: It also goes by just Tsukihime and Moon Princess.

E D I T: Thanks to Shinmaru, I now remembered yet another wonderful thing about this show: the music. The entire show would not be the same without the music. The intro/ending is filled with the beautifulness of violins. Even this little thing that interupts you in the middle has a violin. It adds a bit of a classical element to it. Oh so good...
