Tsukihime never ends! It will continue on, stretching indefinitely into the horizon, an unbroken stream of messy vampire romance action horror for the rest of our lives. Or, you know, a couple more months at least. I (Benn) got scolded for dragging the episodes out with hyper-granular detail again, but I promise I’m working on it. Sub 3.5 hour episodes will arrive, I promise. Also me and fen bicker a lot about vampire metaphysics in this one, so that’s fun.

This episode we discuss the latest heroine, Yumizuka Satsuki, an ordinary girl with an ordinary crush on our protaganist, Tohno Shiki. Wait. One sec. I’m being told this is the Akiha route. Yumizuka isn’t one of the routes? Huh. Well in any case, this episode is pretty light on Akiha, but I’m sure we’ll get to her next episode, which will cover Akiha days 4-7.
