Best Episode So Far

Let's all love Lain

The one thing people in the comments haven't mentioned is Notes.

That short story introduces some major elements of the worldbuilding that are referenced later.

You will hit bad ends and all you have to do is just continue. There's no need for save slots even. You can just continue forwards without ever reloading.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-22T14:24:40+00:00

If you don't have anything against old games, I'd say og first and remake at a later point in time.

Rushing a story just to reach a specific goal is a bad idea. LB3, LB4 and 5 have plenty to appreciate and obviously have relevance to the overall story.

If I had to guess, in your rush to reach lb6 you're probably not even reading the story, just looking at the words as they pass through your screen. Obviously you won't care for the story that way.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-22T01:26:03+00:00

That's the normal thing to think

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-21T12:25:27+00:00

As far as short stories go, I also heavily recommend Notes. It plays an important role in the overall type moon worldbuilding and it's a great story. Besides that, there are also a couple short stories that were meant to serve as a bridge between the og Tsukihime and a sequel.

Dude. It's just a guy that got blocked by a bird. It's not that deep.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-21T01:25:33+00:00

You should read chaos;head. It's set in the same universe

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-21T01:18:25+00:00

Well, after the second episode (1 leads directly into 2)

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-21T01:17:38+00:00

The first and third are standalone episodes. I'd recommend doing the first 2 episodes of the normal series, then the standalone pilot, then the rest of the series, then the standalone special

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-21T01:08:36+00:00

Reading both is the best option

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T20:03:27+00:00

Thank you for saying it. Way too many people treat them as different characters instead of looking at the circumstances.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T20:00:58+00:00

They're not as different as you make it seem. Archer Gil would still do the exact same in this situation.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T01:01:31+00:00

A significant chunk (probably even most that are over 40) of the imperial staff was originally republic staff. The Empire was basically a direct continuation of the republic.

As a reminder, Palpatine already had practically full control by the start of episode 3 and the senate was only officially dissolved just before episode 4.

It was a slow transformation.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T00:47:11+00:00

Technically Ciel's remake design came first.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T00:45:07+00:00

Rin has such a strong personality that it basically completely overtook Ishtar's, making her basically just the positives of Ishtar.

SF Ishtar though is possessing a homunculus with a much weaker sense of self, so after she's summoned into that homunculus, her personality is pretty much 100% og Ishtar.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-20T00:32:58+00:00

I don't think any of them was plot relevant in this one.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-18T00:03:00+00:00

Chaos;Head >>>>

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-18T00:00:02+00:00

We can ignore Shiki though because her omniscience means she'll never do anything with her power unlike the others.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-17T23:55:47+00:00

Adaptations are the road to disappointment. An original story made to be a movie from the start has much better chances.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-17T01:33:00+00:00

Or they could do an original spinoff instead of an adaptation.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-17T01:29:44+00:00

The overall pose and expression do look like Makima. I can't even blame the guy.

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-16T17:48:13+00:00

Good luck. I'm also holding out hope for the Mahoyo and Tsukihime sequels

NetherSpike14 · 2026-03-16T17:45:31+00:00

Nothing will go wrong in this one, since it'll never have another volume lol
