Drugs are bad, mmmkay? (Also, marijuana is NOT eaten.)

Nasu’s pitch for anti-drug use: “You are criminal homicidal maniac.”

Too…

short. >_<

First off, let me say that I’m a bit disappointed with the revealed circumstances regarding Shiki’s accident; Araya’s involvment was disappointingly short, considering how much hype there was surrounding his “comeback” ; I expected around amount of beatings during Spiral Paradox and was rewarded with the one scene in the trailer and the flashback scene of this fight put together in a manner of 30 seconds or so. Although it’s more of a complaint against the 6th movie than this one, Shiki all of a sudden having a goal felt a bit sudden, considering she spent most of the movies amnesiac and clueless about the past, and now all of that is fixed with a wave of a hand. Also, the entire concept of drugs was hilarious to me, almost like a subliminal D.A.R.E. commercial.

Now that that’s out of the way, I loved this movie. Yes, I’m biased towards Type-Moon in general, but the excitement I had toward this movie was so high, I didn’t mind most of the “loltalking” scenes…for the most part.

Part of it that made it enjoyable was the whole romantic theme regarding Mikiya and Shiki, this movie being it’s chance to fully develop and bloom; even the little opening claymation nods towards it’s direction. Sure, the wordy metaphors about murder and killing referring to their love seems kinda corny, but otherwise the romance factor, especially during Shiki’s internal monologue after she’s drugged and the ending, makes the movie full of DAAAAAAAWWW…inbetween all the blood and dismembered body parts anyway. The only problem would be that little tease near the end where they don’t actually kiss, but the loving embrace Show ▼

makes up for it. Hell, dere-dere Shiki itself makes up for it.

…You lost me.

To some extent, I believe that theme of romance just sorta…slightly…kinda…extends to Lio (yes, other than THAT). Not only just his desire to be with Shiki, but also his relationship with Mikiya. Since Lio has conditioned himself to emulate Shiki as much as possible, you can also see it as a parallel for him to want Mikiya’s presence with him as much as Shiki does. As Lio has stated that Mikiya was one of the only people still standing up for him (FYI, Lio left school to do “what he wanted to do,” everyone looked down on this except Mikiya who wished him good luck), it can be linked with Mikiya being one of the only friend Shiki had during high school. Along with Lio being able to contain himself somewhat around Mikiya, his persistence to make Mikiya join him by awakening his origin and becoming “special” (this, again, through marijuana and LSD), and by his visibly upset expression when, in his eyes, Mikiya rejects him in favor of Shiki, and subsequent shock when he “kills” Mikiya can all prove how much he held Mikiya in regard and how it hurt him when he was betrayed. In this respect, I guess he’s a little sympathetic…

FFFFFFFFFFFFF….

…Fuck that. Kill it with fire.

That’s really all I can say about it. Words can’t really describe much else I’m feeling. Maybe I’m just that bad of a writer, or I’m overly sentimental or something. Time to nitpick.

Why the fuck would Shiki have to go back to school? The Ryougi’s are just as rich as the Tohno’s are, Shiki’s already the head of the family like Akiha, why the fuck does she need to go to school other than learning to cook and Fate/stay in kitchen?

I’m not a fan of Mikiya’s emo-hair. He really should just bandage his eye(s) up.

Touko denwa?

I love how Touko just called to troll Mikiya’s cousin.

Who in their right mind would think that trying LSD for shits is a good idea?

Mmm, Shiki tits.

Overview of Kara no Kyoukai

Nasu himself stated that Kara no Kyoukai wasn’t really all that fit for animation and also said that being one of his first ventures into fiction, he wasn’t particularly proud of the original books. Thanks to ufotable’s efforts, however, Kara no Kyoukai turned out to be an amazing experience, what with beautiful animation and an awesome soundrack to boot. Thanks to Nasu-verse workings, it won’t really be everyone’s cup of tea, and thus won’t be easily understood by people with a short attention span during the dialogue scenes where word after word is explained. It might be better since now all movies are released and thus marathoning would enable one to keep the basic concepts fresh when watching, but it still requires a bit of thinking if the terms aren’t all that familiar (i.e. people who didn’t play Tsukihime and/or payed attention to Fate besides “EKUSU-CALIBAAAA”). Still, the overall story is nice, and at times a bit emotionally invoking (“I was here…” ;_;), so I think it’s definitely worth the ride.

Also, my favorite movie order after watching everything.

;________;

1. Movie 5: Spiral Paradox (WITCHES AND SWORDS. Also, Tomoe’s family, Araya, and Willy Wonka).

=D

2. Movie 7: Murder Speculation: Part 2 (More linear in it’s story, drugs, D’AAAAAW, and Lio is full of lolz)

Fujinon. ;_; (First choice was tits, but we might get in trouble.)

3. Movie 3: Remaining Sense of Pain (Noto Mamiko and nipples. Also, MAGARE)

Future JACKHAMMERING potential.

4. Movie 6: Oblivion Recorder (Azaka? Moar liek Akiha, amirite? Don’t burn be moe HNNNNNNNG)

Anything in a kimono, apparently.

5. Movie 1: Overlooking View (lol words, debut of KnK hype theme music)

DOHOHOHOHOHOHO.

6. Movie 2: Murder Speculation: Part 1 (More swords, but no witches/dirty reds until the end. No hype music. Lio is a faggot.)

For all it’s faults, long haired Shiki was a plus.

7. Movie 4: Hollow Shrine (One lame action scene compared to the others, short, “I’m singing in the rain.”)

So now, the next Type-Moon thing will be the Fate/Stay Night UBW movie. I can’t wait, hopefully they get the same attention to detail Kara no Kyoukai had. The trailer looked really nice…

NASUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Oh yeah…DEEN and 90 Minutes. Fuck. ufotable should just do all Type-Moon related works from now on.

And with this, we are now not on hiatus any longer! Comeback is progressing smoothly!

Finally time to leave Meltan/BB alone for a while…
