WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
"Visually and musically the STAND ALONE COMPLEX is of the highest quality. Intriguing stories that question the line between man and machine from every perspective; I'm in heaven! … Ideally, you should get all of the volumes at once, because the suspense of awaiting the next instalment is killing me! 8/10" – BUTTONHOLE.COM
LUNAR LEGEND TSUKIHIME COLLECTION
The ability to see the threads that bind everything and to be able to destroy anything simply by severing them is known as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Shiki has such a power, or rather, bears such a curse that he must endure. Thankfully, he was given glasses that sealed the curse and has since lived life normally... until now.
When Shiki is strangely attracted to a woman and unwillingly kills her, his life takes a strange turn. Despite the curse, the woman lives! After all, it takes more than a simple cut to kill a vampire...
As seen on SBS TV, this box-set contains all twenty-six episodes across seven exciting DVD volumes!
