TYPE-MOON Long Interview - Kanwa Tsukihime Kanwa Tsukihime (Tsukihime Idle Talk) is a long interview conducted by Mandarake with TYPE-MOON in 2001, after the release of 「Tsukihime」. The original interview was posted on Mandarake's website (it is no longer available on Mandarake). A revised version of the interview appeared in 「Tsukihime Dokuhon Plus Period」 in 2004. The republished version is more concise, easier to read, with less extraneous words, with unncessary bits left out, and left out an extra section. This is a translation of the original web version of the interview, with several parts revised using contents from the republished version.

TYPE-MOON Long Interview Do you know anyone who can write 40 manuscript pages per day? Who will cut hours from their sleep and rest time to draw? Who will contract hundreds of store entities "for the fans?" I do. The doujin circle TYPE-MOON. I've heard their voices mumbling complaints as they work toward shocking levels of quality. (This interview happened on May 24, 2001) Nasu Kinoko Director and Composer for TYPE-MOON scenarios. Nasu's minute, serene sentences and destructive, misleading kanji usage have a way of entrancing readers. Nasu's original novels are published by his other circle, Bamboo Broom. Takeuchi Takashi Representative of TYPE-MOON, his areas of expertise are art, planning, and maids. He's basically a nice guy that really really loves maids. His original manga is published through Bamboo Broom. OKSG Administrator of the TYPE-MOON home page. A fan of Nasu and Takeuchi since their early days. She was in charge of food for the scenario writer and provided production assistance for Tsukihime. Currently, she does secretarial work and sales.
