Kinoko Nasu returned to write the scenario and direct the remake, and Takashi Takeuchi also returned as the character designer.
Type-Moon's original doujin game debuted at Winter Comic Market in 2000. A 12-episode anime adaptation premiered in 2003 and Geneon Entertainment released the series on DVD in North America.
Sasakishonen drew a manga based on Tsukihime beginning in 2004, and DrMaster released six of the 10 volumes of the series in English. Takeru Kirishima began a manga based on the sequel, Melty Blood, in 2006 and Kadokawa Shoten published the ninth and final compiled volume in 2010.
