Akiba Hobby has his review up of Akiha Tohno from the Melty Blood series. Well made figure but she kinda has a sinister look. Nice pantsu though. Never seen the anime - recommended?
So you do cut faces out for good reasons. This leads to my impression she has a face that implies certain evilness... Good looking figure and nice pantsu though.
I think not seeing the face is helping.. thats usually where the figure maker fails. Also.. "Melty Blood".... thats like saying: 下痢のトラ Seriously, now I am going to go make this manga and sell it over here.
there's already a melty blood manga and its quite good.
heh, Melty Blood isnt an anime, its a fighting game. Based off the visual novels Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya by Type-Moon :P
huh, cant seem to edit posts. I forgot to comment that the figure seems to have an oddly prominent nose XD
Goes to show you how much I dont know about the series ^^;
melty blood is a 2d fighting game. but i never heard that there is a anime version
Ok, here it goes Melty Blood is a 2D fighting game which is made base on the visual novel "Tsukihime" of Type-Moon Melty Blood has 3 version: 1/ Melty Blood 2/ Melty Blood reAct 3/ Melty Blood Act Cadenza The story of Melty Blood is actually a sequel of the visual novel Tsuhikihime. BY THE WAY, the anime Tsukihime DOESN'T EXIST. And anyone who says otherwise is a blatant liar. So, if you want to understand more about Melty Blood, go and play Tsukihime. It's just one of the best visual novels one can lay one's hands on. :) By the way, both Tsukihime and Fate/stay night are written by Kinoko Nasu. You might hear his name along with the Kara no Kyoukai movie.
Well there was a Tsuikihime anime, but I'd avoid that like the plague if I were you.
Akiha is originally from Type-Moon's doujin visual novel game series Tsukihime and there is an anime version of it. Story and action is rather mediocre so I don't really suggest watching it. However, manga version of Tsukihime is pretty good so you can check it out when you get a chance. There's manga version of Melty Blood series as well but compared to Tsukihime, Melty Blood manga itself is little funky IMO. One can play the doujin game to know the full story behind the series but due to the huge popularity of Type-Moon nowadays, doujin game of Tsukihime are super expensive, cost around 8-10,000yen at place like Toranoana >_
I have the game. Yay for Malaysian piracy. If you like pixel art, you'll like Melty Blood.. Perhaps I should post some screen shots of the game? Reply me if you guys wanna see it.
Thanks Akiba-Kid... I was wondering if I would watch Tsukihime one day (it would not be one on top of my watchlist anyway) because of Fate/Stay Night, but since you and other commenters said it wasn't much the trouble... And lots of gore as early as first episode didn't help at all. Got lots of catching up to do already anyway. ^^
Well, never really liked Akiha, I prefer Arcueid (which I already own a figure of) and Ciel. As far as the anime Tsukihime goes, I thought it was pretty good, but many fans thought it was lackluster. TYPE-MOON animes are generally good though, ie. Fate Stay Night, so it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Finally I leave you with this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrDNk_K095o
On average the figure looks decent however is it me or does the sinister looking smile just not fit Akiha? I think it would be much better if it were her kurenai form, with maybe a few drops of blood dripping from the side of her mouth or something. I still prefer Satsuki and Kohaku to Akiha anyway. Anyways in terms of the anime, it is at best mediocre. In fact most of Type-Moon animes are, especially when compared to with their manga and novel counterparts, with the exception of Garden of Sinners, which I heard was quite good. The Tsukihime visual novel is totally epic in my opinion, quite possibly my favorite novel of all time, (yeah yeah. I know I'm a fanboy) however it is quite hard to find a legal copy, especially due to the insane prices people sell it at.
Lunar Legend Tsukihime - Manga: Good Melty Blood (Latest being Act Cadenza and soon to come out Actress again) - Fighting Game: Good Tsukihime - Visual Novel: Good if you're in to VNs Tsukihime - Anime: Bad My opinion at least.
Tsukihime anime? I've never heard of such a thing. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z278/mravix9000/Doujin/Hisuisays.jpg But you should get Tsukihime visual novel if you get a chance. Tsukihime sold me to visual novel and was the first eroge I played and felt it would be worth to buy(Except 100+$ might be a little more then I'm willing to pay for any game >
A part of my comment was cut. I think the Akiha figure look alright but not good enought for me to buy it. I'll wait for a better one to get. Also, Twin Maids FTW(I need to get an Hisui and Kohaku figure)!
oooh... hisui is being too hard on my eyes(SO). the look in akiha's face suits her image though. add some gore plz.
The VN by TYPE-MOON has a solid story... There is an anime adaptation of Tsukihime but it's crap.
The VN never gets released outside Japan, unfortunately >_<
http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1259,wbwozy,shingetsutan_ts.html i can see most here are go enrage by the freaking animated version lol..
I don't know why everyone is saying the anime is crap. Its not great, but there are far worse. Out of the tsukihime girls, I think Akiha is my favorite. Something about her face looks weird though, I think its her eyes.
LOL, which eyes?
Her real eyes seem just a bit too big.
don, so there are fake eyes? Hahaha, don't pay attention to what I said.
I thought this figure was pretty decent. Am now very much thinking of buying it... And in my opinion, the Tsukihime anime wasn't too bad, but that's probably because I watched it before I played the game. After that the difference becomes clear. Also, Melty Blood its itself a great game of awesomeness. Definitely one of my favourite 2D fighters.
The anime was quite good but a little slow sometimes... Never played the game but downloaded the characters in MUGEN, got Shiki and the two maids but couldn't find Arcueid anywhere...
Lol, Danny picked the only angle that matter. :P
i'am a huge fan of all the production of type-moon i started with tsukihime then fate then the games i really like how they manage their characteres ..their music ...and now i'm currently translating the 900 page novel of kara no kyoukai their fisrt production to my original language ....mmm...yes...yes i recommend the anime
I see her first in a game, in an anime and you can watch it on crunchyroll, hehe and on comics too, hehe, sugoi, kawai pantsu, kawai!^^
Much as I love that game/anime/manga, her ass is just too small. I made this deduction after coming back for a 2nd look. Theres just not enough there... looks weird....
