Assassinator Wrote:Story basically 90% determines whether the show is good or not. You don't see people going around saying "This is an excellent show because it has the best soundtrack ever, even though the plot sucks donkey".

No, but there are plenty of other things to like a show over.
Example I can think of right now, Excel Saga.

Assassinator Wrote:It (Tsukihime) just had a great story over all, nothing to do with the vampires. Kara no Kyoukai is a 7 part movie series, of which the story is partially linked to Tsukihime (same world, lots of parallels). It has no vampires, only magicians. Now one of them has the story, and the other has production quality far superior to 99% of other anime. Put it together, and you eliminate all the bad points of each.

I found the plot fairly average to be honest.
