Hmm... I have never seen Kara no Kyoukai OST releases with any meaningful names for the tracks. Are you sure they even do have names at all?

According to various sources, the release date for the last movie dvd (7) will be 9th of December. A small worry arises from the fact the previous movies were subbed by gg-TakaJun. As we all know, gg fired its quality checkers and lowered the editor's pay so much that no QC is performed at any point of the process. I wonder what this all means considering our precious Kara no Kyoukai...
Wait, they actually make money?
I assumed they were, and still are a profit-free sub group.
It was just a figure of speech used to complain about their degrading work ethics. If they were making money, they of course couldn't drop all quality from their products.

I'm not disappointed by this last episode, although it did change my view of the story (the whole series) a little bit. In the end this was a small-scale story. Basically nothing more than Shiki finding and accepting her own place. Although a couple of the episode didn't contribute as much to that end and their relevance was somewhat fuzzier. This last episode surely finalized that view of mine.
I hadn't really realised Shiki hadn't killed anybody before. Explains for good why she didn't kill Fujino. There surely wasn't anywhere as much pressure back then as in this episode where she thought it's all over anyway. This also explains Kokutou's stance far better - after all, he always believed (correctly) that she hadn't killed.
I'm still having hard times deciding just what manner of a dude Kokutou is. He's surely in some way delusional, thinking everything can be solved peacefully, that is, his way, even to the point he can't even imagine he might lose his own life should someone disagree. But I suppose if he had been been anything else, he wouldn't have possessed the power to prevent Shiki from killing (this long).
A beautiful love story, all in all. The part after the credits was a nice peaceful conclusion. Kokutou even got his own special eye out of it! Har har.

How's the quality?
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The quality's good, comparable to the previous episodes. Looks like gg didn't want to botch up this one.
I loved Touko's explanation on the difference between murder and slaughter. The weight is indeed different, depending on how one looks at the victim, or if they even consider the target a victim at all.
While I generally dislike naive characters like Mikiya, and I was beginning to get irritated by how he was forcing Shiki not to kill, it all changed in the final few minutes of the movie. I initially thought he didn't want Shiki to kill because he wanted her to fit into his "ideal and clean" form of a human being. I thought that would be too selfish, and even if he did think it was for her sake that he was coercing her to suppress her desires, the fact that it is his own mental framework that supports those standards would still mean it is still rooted in his own selfishness.
But that was not the case. The reason why he did not want her to kill was because he knew that despite Shiki saying otherwise, she was the one who subscribed to the ideal of staying clean, of not ever committing the single murder allowed per person. Even without the facts regarding Shiki's grandfather and his will, he knew Shiki enough to understand that she herself will get irrevocably scarred once she kills another.
Mikiya even lied, saying that he will never forgive her if she ever commits murder. While it was obvious he would never condemn her for it, the final scene when Shiki admits her deed clearly portrayed how Mikiya never really cared about such standards, at least when it comes to Shiki. He just wanted her not to be hurt. He just wanted her to be happy. And in the perfectly anticlimactic epilogue, she was just simply that.
I also initially thought this was a show about supernatural mysteries, and of a greater plot about saving the world or such. I cannot be more thankful about how mistaken I am. Like in Crest/Banner of the Stars, I am greatly appreciative of anime stories that actually know how to focus on certain characters, and abandon the temptation to encompass an unnecessarily wider landscape. This was a story about Mikiya and Shiki, and that was it.
A beautiful love story indeed.
Peace.
I think shinta covered it pretty well, saying most of what I would have pointed out. So I really just have four things to add.
- I don't know if they showed it before in the previous episodes, but Touko's pupils are slits. I wonder how much that might mean to her character. She's basically a monster anyway, since she can't really be killed.
- I like the shots showing that the bridge was still "turned."
- If the bridge was turned, that means that Shiki certainly had a doll arm on. The thumb she bit off was part of that arm. I'm a bit surprised that she didn't mention that to Lio, it probably would have pissed him off more.
- The slobber scene was gross. Like seriously disgusting.
Shiki was very cute in this episode, and I liked Mikiya's response to her admitting she murdered someone. It came off very romantic, despite the massive amounts of blood everywhere. Her lines about not visiting him because Azaka would have killed her were funny too, a good way of breaking some of the remaining tension.
I loved Shiki's line about wanting to kill Azaka because she went to the restaurant Shiki wanted to go to with Mikiya. The way she phrased it was really cute and funny.
Peace.
I'm kinda sad it's all over now. This series has been a treat. Shiki was too damn cute.
I'm sure Touko could have reconstructed Mikiya's face. A functional eye mightn't be impossible neither.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Too bad she is gone then. I guess Mikiya will become a detective now, with Shiki being the brawn.
Peace.
According to the offical site, a bluray box will be released 2.2.2011 and it will contain a 30 minutes final chapter, previously unanimated.
This is the best news since the last best news! Something definite to look forward in 2011 as well.
Are you serious?
<faints>
Peace.
Just watched the first movie, and it was completely boring. I realize that the series is out of chronological order, but regardless too much crap talking monologues in here.
Hopefully the rest will be better.
You are a failure as an anime watcher. There's no hope left for you.Originally Posted by Munsu
Or perhaps you simply don't like Type Moon productions. Don't bother with the rest. Nobody wants to hear you bash them in your misunderstanding.
I thought it was confusing as hell, but not boring. Maybe there's only a thin line between the two.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
