Then it would be the best anime ever made.
Then it would be the best anime ever made.
But it'd also be the worst.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
Pop Quiz!
Which one is more horrible? Fate anime series (and UBW movie) by DEEN? Fate Manga? orTsukihime Anime?
TBH, Fate anime series at least introduced me to Tainaka Sachi and to Nasuverse... I remember the time before reading the VN that anime was quite decent somehow...
However, the non-existent tsukihime anime? I dropped after episode 4... Just can't watch it... just... CAN NOT

It exists.
FSN anime was OK. The parts it adapted straight were decent, and Archer vs Berserker was universally well received. The Caster mini-arc was pretty cancerous but at least it ended quick. Backporting the UBW Rider and Assassin fights wasn't a bad idea and it succeeded in making those characters more relevant without detracting from the big picture. The music was pretty good too. The voice actors added to the characterizations (honorable mentions: Kotomine, Saber, Gilgamesh really "owned" their characters), with the possible exception of Shirou (I was pretty puzzled by the choice of Sugiyama, his previous roles didn't make me think he could pull off a stoic protagonist - in the end I grew accustomed to him, but he changed my mental image of Shirou). I found the final episode pretty inspired too, with the VN throwbacks and the final Shirou-Saber conversation being high points.
Tsukihime anime... well, it had pretty music.

don't quote me on this
I barely could stand through one episode of Tsukihime anime. DEEN anime didn't seem awful, I even enjoyed some of the stuff in the first three episodes. I'm usually not much bothered with bad art style or animation and dropped it simply because "meh, it's just Fate route". Also watched Archer vs Berserker episode later and got some laughs and cringes out of it.
We've had to endure much, you and I, but within the week there will be old men running the world
OLD MEN ARE THE FUTURE
This wasn't in first 3 episodes then.

I don't like the F/SN anime as a fan of the VN. However, you will find countless people that do love it. Either people that don't care about anything beyond the anime or people that got introduced to Type-Moon through it. Recent ports of the VNs and the Fate/Zero anime have changed this but for a long time the majority of people knew of Fate only through that anime and they were fine with this. Find any non-TM forum talking of F/SN from 2006-2011 or so and you'll no doubt find only people praising or discussing the anime. DEEN's adaptations of Higurashi and Umineko have similar situations, people who loved the VNs hated them but people who didn't "know better" tended to like them.
Nobody liked the Tsukihime anime. It was just a straight-up horrible anime on it's own and a laughable adaptation. It's on a whole different level than the DEEN stuff.
I feel I might as well get over my previous bias of DEEN anime and watch it.
And if I feel any unsatisfaction, I can always go back to reading the VN again.
If you see the anime you don't need to read the VN/LN. Worked for me with every Type Moon franchise so far. And if source material is too much work just read some fanfiction instead!
I read through Tsukihime's VN first, then tried to watch the anime. I thought that this is the internet, everybody blows everything out of proportion. But I was wrong! DEAR GOD, I WAS WRONG!
I didn't think it was all that bad. Thought it really got a bad rap.
Still kinda do, though I don't have any love for it anymore now that I read the VN.
It got a few of my friends into Tsukihime, one of them started reading the VN after watching it.
^^^Truly a standard we should all emulate.
