add recWith what could have been a normal slice-of-life type show, both Tsukihime and Eight Clouds revel in darkness, leading the viewer by the hand and along a very dark path. Filled with blood and gore, action is not the most important part of either show. Taking their time with slowly unfolding back story and building up the characters, the shows will appeal to viewers who like something to think about - as well as seeing plenty of troubled teens with a sudden urge for blood.
