more anime pt 9
I finished watching Tsukihime Lunar Legend. At first, I thought I wasn't going to get into it. I had the first disk for about a week and a half before I finished all 4 episodes. That is unusual for an anime addict like myself, who typically watches a disk and half of anime a day. (I had a weird work schedule where I had a three hour break in the middle of the day, but couldn't leave. I actually just left the job though, for exactly that reason.) By the middle of the second disk, though, I was hooked.
The anime follows the adventure of a highschool student who is gifted with eyes that can see lines of destruction. He contains his power with a special pair of glasses. One night, however, he loses control of his power and murders a woman in a park, only to find she is not really dead, but a vampire. A non-blood sucking, 800 year old assassin vampire...
There is little character development in terms of personal development, but there are plot twists and mysteries which provide insight into each characters behavior. The ending was abrupt - typical for a short anime series, but worth the slow beginning. And while the plot twists weren't exactly original, there were enough surprises to bring the series to an exciting climax. Worth the watch - particularly if you like vampire anime. Just don't expect TLL to be another Hellsing or Vampire Hunter, and you won't be disappointed.
