Lunar Legend Tsukihime Episode 03
"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception"
Three episodes of Shingetsutan Tsukihime, and the thing that stands out the most to me is how consistent the pacing of each installment is. Definitely feels like we're getting one part of a story after another, rather than one or two one-shot episodes, then a three episode story arc, or something like that.
On the other hand, this is one of those really slow-moving anime series, where it feels like the first three episodes could have been condensed into one, and you still wouldn't really know what's going on. But like I've said before, the show seems perfectly happy to move slowly, using it to build up atmosphere.
We have a few story hooks so far, but not enough has been revealed to really grab you yet.
