Lunar Legend Tsukihime English Sub & Dub

About Lunar Legend Tsukihime

If you are hunting for a new action series, Lunar Legend Tsukihime (Shingetsutan Tsukihime) deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. The setup: Shiki Toono sustained a life threatening injury as a child, and due to that incident he was sent away from the Toono household and was given to a relative to be raised. Years later, when Shiki is in high school, the head of the Toono household—his father—dies, and he is ordered to move back in by his sister Akiha, who is the new head of the household.

Another thread: However, Shiki holds a huge secret. Ever since that injury, he has been seeing lines on objects, and only with a special pair of glasses is he able to stop seeing them. Also he is unable to remember anything well from the time before his accident.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by J.C.Staff, so the studio's house style defines how Lunar Legend Tsukihime looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2003, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
