Sorry I couldn't be as diplomatic as you regarding the first movie.
Ah, I see where I erred. I should've used "peaceful". And probably should've simply pointed out that it didn't "contain a really strong plot", which of course would've made me "sad".
Haha. I guess you got me there, Bud. I had no recollection the first ep might have been weaker during the first watch.
So when are the BDs coming out?
February 2nd for Japan and February 8th for North America.
Aniplex of America announced on Monday that it will release Ufotable's entire Kara no Kyoukai - the Garden of sinners film series in an English-subtitled Blu-ray Disc box in North America on February 8, 2011. The eight-disc box will include the seven theatrical chapters of the franchise plus the bonus Final Chapter that will be available for the first time in February. The online retailer Right Stuf will be the exclusive distributor.
The Japanese Blu-ray Disc box of the film series will ship less than a week earlier on February 2. Right Stuf will offer the North American version for US $398.98. (The Japanese release will sell for 52,500 yen or about US $620, although that is the suggested retail price before discounts.)
One of the early releases:
Final Chapter 720p ~1.2GB
Final Chapter subtitles + fonts

I felt adventurous and downloaded this. It's surely a lot for 33 minutes, no matter how you look at it, but waiting for a more reasonable sized release I thought to check it out in the mean time. First and foremost I have to confess this felt somewhat underwhelming. Maybe because after the ending of the ch7, I was expecting some mushy Kokutou+Shiki scenes. Instead this was psychological talk that wouldn't feel ashamed standing next to the last eps of the original Eva... There were a couple of a nice moments but otherwise this is quite forgettable, unfortunately. I'm not saying this was bad but hardly anything to talk about in comparison to the actual episodes.
Oh, well. What is done is done. At least it suggested those two are still together.
GG is doing these right?
[66] Kara no Kyoukai - Epilogue: Torrent | DDL
We used the English subs provided with the BluRay instead of doing it from scratch so we tagged this as [66]. Like, gg’s evil twin or something. (fuck idk) The subtitles were ocr’d and retimed. We changed Rio to Lio because of the lion line. The subs having western name order and no honorifics is how the Aniplex subs came. Deal with it.
There was also a very effortless effort to proofread the BD subs but the BD subs are Pretty Good and generally make more sense than the fansubs so we’re just going to chalk up any strangeness (read: proofreading laziness) as a result of :nasuwords:.
The release order will be “some random contrived order” based on when they’re finished encoding and being retimed. Epilogue goes first since we assume there’s a higher demand for that compared to the other movies.
The video quality of movies 1-7 unfortunately is kinda shitty (tho still better than dvd) and I’m pretty sure we’re only doing them still because TheFluff bought the BD box and took 2 days off of work to encode them. (Very serious fansubbing!) We’ll only be doing 720p due to the quality. Anyway, the epilogue looks better compared to the rest of the movies.

This final chapter did indeed have a pretty good video quality. But on the other hand it only had a single scene and setting, so it would have been truly unforgivable for it to have poor graphics. Half of the screen time was even claimed by the sky and the static city scene, anyway. While those looked very good, lighting included, it was still a single matte painting and a sky full of falling snow, which could be handled easily enough with CGI.
It was pretty flat indeed. I expected too much thinking it was an extra ep instead of being an epilogue.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Just yesterday I was coincidentally thinking how cool it would be if Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin got animated. And now I see an ANN news article telling it will. The best news today, for sure.
I don't know much about this final chapter (apparently it's not as old as the rest of the novels but was written by Nasu when the other movies were being made, according to somebody from the internets, explaining why there are basically two epilogues), but what I do know is that it features Mikiya and Shiki's daughter:
I'm as interested in seeing her animated and voiced as seeing just what kind of a mother Shiki could ever be!
Hmm, I think I only watched the first movie. Will see about watching the rest while I'm gone.
Loli sighted. Will watch.
Kidding aside, I just hope there is no surprise tragedy like Shiki or Mikiya already being dead in this epilogue.
Peace.
There's a Mirai Fukuin PV available now.
Naturally even a single line from Mana (Shiki and Mikiya's kid) would have been impossible, to reveal her VA, so no choice but to wait. According to ANN, the movie will premiere in Japan this fall, so I guess it's a year from now for us.
It's going to be Hanazawa Kana anyway...
(I'm only half-joking.)
Looks like the release date is this September, according to ANN. So, no surprises, luckily not bad ones either. The BD ought to appear during the first half of next year for our pleasure. A long wait, but it will be worth it.
Mirai Fukuin 720p | 1080p - Commie
Extra Chorus - KoyuuKekkai
Extra Chorus is half an hour story that can be watched after or before Mirai Fukuin, it doesn't matter. Although it needs to be watched after the older movies.

I have to confess first and foremost I'm somewhat distressed by my own false expectations and the disappointment they caused, after a fashion. I thought Mirai Fukuin would be a somewhat different story compared to the earlier ones and would show Mana fooling around, perhaps even dangerously like Rin in F/Z, with Shiki being a weird mom and Kokutou... Well, the kind of gray (boring) but wise and resourceful father one would expect him to be. Instead the first half, or rather a little more, was about everything else, although I suppose it was totally similar in theme to the older episodes, so it's not strange as such. Seo getting some exposition isn't bad either, plus we got to see the reason for Mikiya's after the credits lines in the 7th movie, but this all meant Mana's portion was cut regrettably short. And when she finally appeared, she was only together with the bloody bomber dude of the first half and we never saw her doing anything with mom and dad.
The first half of the movie was a wholesome story, as much as the previous independent episodes, but Mana's portion felt incomplete. The episode ended right when it would have got genuinely interesting. In that respect the Extra Chorus would be even the better one of these two... Although it's not like a whole lot happened in it nor was the stuff so meaningful.
Should I watch extra chorus after the movie to leave a better taste?
Peace.
That's what I did, though not on purpose, and I'm happy I did. Apparently in theaters it played before the movie. But it's not connected to it in any particular way, so afterwards is just fine.
Mana felt almost entirely superfluous, she could have been replaced with anyone else in the same age range, even a Prisma Illya character. That said, I did like the last third of the story overall, but it wasn't as good as the first two thirds.
The faint hint that the Mother of Mifune could in fact be Mitsuru's relative (too old to be his mother though) was an interesting touch. I didn't expect that.
