i watched episod three but something confused me. Does each Karas have their own teacher, like the girl and Otoha. And did Otoha's teacher die?

Episode 3 is out by Anime-Kraze for those interested:

I believe these "teachers" are called Yurines.
Secondly, no, I don't think Otoha's died because it seems like the Yurines are similar to the Karas. I'm pretty sure the one encased in the liquid tank in Ekou's building is Otoha's Yurine.
I thought the one in Ekou's was his own Yurine trapped in a state where he can release his sword whenever he wants. The two who were watching was a Yurine with her Karas (feisty girl had a sword that wouldn't come apart because only a Yurine can unseal it). And the end I'm guessing that Otoha returned to his comatose body and somehow managed to kill the youkai with it.Originally Posted by BOARD_of_command
Yep, I agree with Honoko... that's Ekou's own Yurine, and has somehow built a device that makes it possible for him to use his powers without the Yurine's approval or consent.
HOLY SHIT!?!?!? I just watched the first 3 parts, and I think my brain's graphics card fried. It looks amazing, and I just watched Advent Children yesterday so it means even more. From the age of this topic, I'm guessing i'll be waiting a while for the next ep, but damn, what a rush.
As to the Yurine thing, I was totally confused when Otoha chopped through that guy, I figured the Hippie would drink some donor blood and kick the jack-in-the-box's ass. I don't think Otoha's Yurine is dead however, because the Spider lady carried off her body, and you usually don't drag dead bodies around for no reason, even in anime.
so i rented the (newly released) movie and watched it tonight without having any prior knowledge of the series, which in retrospect was really not a good idea. i had been thinking that the movie was separate from the series, but yukimura's post makes me think that the movie was just the 3rd episode, and now i'm completely confused. is the movie the 3rd episode or is it just all 3 episodes in one or what's going on aaaaaahhh??
I believe I read in the Kraze forums that it airs in august, but I cant seem to find the post. Can anyone confirm?
Currently watching: Blood+, Black Lagoon, Karas, Hellsing Ultimate, Le Chevalier D'Eon, Ergo Proxy. Pumpkin Scissors, Mahjong Legend Akagi
Hmm... Raws for 5&6 appeared on Tokyotosho and the comment says: "TV caps, DVD for 5 is out, DVD for 6 will come out in a month. Enjoy."
If that is true, then let's rejoice. I don't know if Ani-Kraze uses the DVD raws only but I guess it's likely. Still, it shouldn't take anymore that long. At least not in theory. In any case Seirei no Moribito should have ended by then so it shouldn't get in the way.
lol its true kraco, ive seen ep 4 like in july, remember when in irc i said i stumbled apon something awesom but wasnt going to tell ;P.
Thats also when i found out about the release dates for 5 and 6,
The official page has a trailer about it btw:
http://www.karas-movie.com/pages/home.html
shows mostly footage from ep5, some ep4, and really few ep6.
Ep 4 was cool, but not as good as the previous 3, mainly because karas(otoha) is absent.
The female karas(En) is shown though. Lots of nice backstory also

Hmm... Interesting development. Two most interesting things of course happened right at the end: Ekou proved a Karas doesn't need a Yurine in order to operate, yet on the other hand since he killed Otoha's Yurine, it also made room for the city to create yet another one. Seemed like a pretty bad decision in that sense. Although I guess he believes he has some ultimate weapon at his disposal so he's obviously not worried.
An awesome series.
Just started watching, pretty good stuff. Amazing animation.
just started? omg, most ppl here have been waiting 3 years for these last 3 eps.
Seeing as how this is the only anime forum I frequent, a lot of animes like this slip through the cracks without me noticing them. I also haven't lurked through the archives.
This was really worth the wait. Definitely one of the best OAVs I have seen (it rivals RK betrayal). The story was so-so, but the animation is definitely amazing.
I specifically loved the first episode due to its astounding animation and great direction of the fights.
I also enjoyed the "almost" kissing scene between Otoha and his Yurine. It gave a lot of humanity and emotion to their relationship, which was too mechanical before, at least for me.
Good amount of violence, always a plus.
Peace.
Most epic anime ever, nr1 anime of all time. period
also, i also liked how the ending suggested more karas.

Here I was nonchalantly clicking the Tokyotosho bookmark, not expecting to find anything, in fact I wasn't anymore even sitting but was about to go get something to soothe my parched throat... But what did I know! It was no less than Karas #5 that was sitting there, as if nothing had happened.
Episode 5 - Ani-Kraze
Oh wow, what a BLOODY episode! To think that I watched this while eating my breakfast; lunch will definitely be skipped.
It was a little bit unbearable watching Otoha fight against the monster, especially towards the end where he was just being flung around. And the shards of glass to the eyes, OUCH! Details on this episode were amazing.
