| 10/10 Spectacular movie, definitely my favorite Kara no Kyoukai movie so far :) |
 |

I like those bloods and organs in this episode XD yummy! XD damn! I was shock when seeing touko's heart is destroyed by araya.. :3 if touko was really dead.. I dont know what to say.. I'm really sad.. but I was really cheering when seeing touko is come again to help mikiya XD seriously in the end shiki was really cool with that sword XD I hope that sword is still exist in the next episode :3 btw in the end shiki was really damn cute XD when she's requesting mikiya's house key XD and looks like next episode would awesome too XD :3 I cant wait azaka and shiki school together? CMIIW :3 |
| WOW, this was confusing at first, so watched it again. You really need to focus really well to understand for my case. But overall this is one of the best so far and will watch the rest later on the day. I kinda teared up a little about Enjou and his story. |
 |
| All I can say is that this was a flawless masterpiece. |
kdog7815 said: All I can say is that this was a flawless masterpiece. Can only echo this. The plot was AMAZING. It was so INTERESTING, HAD MINDFLIPPING TWISTS, and amazing character development. Oh and the OST was as good as always. Really did get attached to Enjou in this movie, and when Touko said that Araya made a mistake, i lost it. Oh and i lost it when she came back into the hotel. Lost it alot throughout this movie i guess. |
| 03:15 no blood on the knife? wth 10:52 KONO BAKA! 25:43 kare wa zonbi o mita 43:43 young Toukochan so cute SPEECHLESS. 10/10 masterpiece. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Finally got around to watching this and this didn't disappoint me. This was fucking AMAZING! I was confused for the majority of the anime but it all made sense towards the end when Shiki came back. This film had really good in-depth writing. I just loved the plot twists, totally caught me off guard. You have to pay attention while watching this movie or else you'll be really confused. The OST was fantastic it really amplified the intensity of the film, love you Yuki Kajiura. Shiki is such a badass, you've got to love her. Tomoe was a really great character, loved his character development and interactions between Shiki and Kokotou. Shiki blushing at the end while asking for a key to Kokotou's house was really cute. :) This is truly one of the best anime films I've ever seen, and a mind-fucked one too. xD 10/10 |
 |
| This movie really lived up to the hype I've heard so much about. Amazing animation with an incredible soundtrack and unique story (excluding other Type Moon works). Even though this is the first movie to continue in order of the storyline, it was cool how they kept showing future and past scenes mixed in. I'm still feeling chills from this |

| I finished watching the whole series, and definitely the 5th one is where it peaked (it went disappointingly down after). Aozaki's badass moment had me whooping, she's my favourite character of the series. I felt a lot more sympathy for Enjou Tomoe, felt like had a lot to offer as a person and not just a mere character, in one movie compared to Kokutou in seven movies. Hell I was feeling almost teary eyed at the end. This proves that they could definitely introduce and successfully flesh out a character in a single movie. Personally I think Kokutou (and Shiki to some extent) doesn't feel like a "real" person. He's nice but that's about it, hell his sister had more character development and she has zero impact in the story. He's more of a compass than a person. |
| Masterpiece! I only knew about the Kara no Kyoukai movies after watching a short fight clip of Paradox Spiral in Youtube. I realized then that there were 7 movies. I wanted to watch this first but I decided to follow it from the start. So far I really enjoed KnK but Paradox Spiral tops them all. I really love it from the very beginning. The fight scenes were amazing, the background music was superb and the development is really great. I loved Enjou. Never really cared for Mikiya. I really hoped that Enjou would survive in the end. I absolutely loved his confession. I enjoyed his interactions with Shiki and the part where he said that even though he was a fake, his feelings for Shiki were real. Damn! I loved that part! Too bad he died but even so, he died an epic death. So sad for him. Well the cafe scene was heartwarming and overall this was one of the very enjoyable 1 hour and 54 minutes of my life. No regrets! Enjou x Shiki forevah! <3 |
 |
| When Aozaki was brutally killed, I was so sad :( But then, epic shit happen! I really though Mikiya was dead too, getting your head banged like this, it can be fatal. Shiki with a saber is pretty epic. I like it more than a knife, though the knife is more original. The paradox were really interresting. All the camera angle were really mindfucking. The building concept was really cool. I didn't understand at first what was it meaning, but the doll concept was clever. It's a tragic destiny, being a doll and not even knowing it. I though at first that Tomoe was annoying and a bit boring, but in the end, is story was really interresting. Gnawed by remorse, he found comfort in Shiki. Araya vision of his ideal was really interresting. It's true that not everyone are remembered and honored on the same level. Some people die in a total anonymity. Alba was really annoying though, and the way he squashed Aozaki made impatient of his death. Seeing Shiki blush at the end was really weird and cute at the same time :P |

| I can rewatch this forever. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| Rewatched this too, for the first time. I never grow old to the OST, it's near perfection. :3 And the plot is naturally really interesting with a ton of rewatch value because of the constant jumping in places and time. Wish there was more stuff in the Nasuverse, I really love the world KnK explores. Shiki is perhaps the most badass female character also, imo. I never get used to how well Ufotable can animate backgrounds, transitions and fight scenes. |
 |
| Damn, what a movie :o The previous 4 were too short but this one was something else. Cant wait to see the next one ^_^ |
 |
| This was excellent. |
   |
| It's a strange sensation, I can't even begin to describe what I've just watched, but it all came together and I was able to make sense of most of it. And even the things that didn't make sense added to the wonder and remained beautiful in the unknown. Just like the previous movies I've seen, this had some of the greatest art and animation I've seen and it went a step further with Shiki vs those corpses and the final confrontation with Araya. Easily a 9/10, now I can see why this is so heavily praised. |
 |
| What a film. Animation quality and directing was Godly. Plot was a bit confusing. I'll probably re-watch it soon, so I could understand it better. |
| One of the best animated films ive ever watched and without a doubt the best Kara no Kyoukai movie. The last few films were good but this set the bar that others couldn't reach, it delivered and then some. There's not really much to say besides they it will probably resonate with you more if your an expert or familiar with the TypeMoon/Nasu Universe. 10/10 |
| I wasn't a fan of the ending, but that's probably because I have no knowledge about the Nasuverse. |

ThreePercent said: I wasn't a fan of the ending, but that's probably because I have no knowledge about the Nasuverse. Wait, I'm kinda confused. What do you mean by that? Which part of the ending exactly? o_O Much of Movie 5's ending has little to do with the Nasuverse as a whole and is actually based on real-world philosophy and religious concepts (most of it barely gets touched on in other Type-Moon works ever again and remains pretty isolated in KNK). It should also be noted that Kara No Kyoukai is Type-Moon's first published work, so knowing anything about the Nasuverse isn't some sort of requirement to understand the story and the concepts it goes into considering how it's the one that lays the groundwork of the lore in the Nasuverse. |

The Araya concept is used on the other works like Fate/Stay Night, this movie presented some basic concepts of Nasuverse, Touko even talk about Counter Guardians. |

The Araya concept is used on the other works like Fate/Stay Night, this movie presented some basic concepts of Nasuverse, Touko even talk about Counter Guardians. Yeah I know it did, but the concepts used in KNK are mostly self-contained (in terms of how they're applied not necessarily their mention), and it's not like you need to know the rest of the Nasuverse to understand or contextualize what they're talking about in KNK. This is because a lot of "Nasuverse" concepts used in KNK are derived from real-life concepts/philosophy and it's much more obvious here in KNK than other Type-Moon works since it was their first published work where most of the ideas are written to stand on their own. In this regard, the following works that came after KNK simply expanded on the lore, not the other way around. |
| This movie was incredibly amazing. At times it was confusing and strange, but ultimately it is a masterpiece. The best of the series so far, deserves to be re-watched. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| Err that was kinda confusing. Will rewatch soon to understand better, but a nice film overall. 8/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Lasting two hours to compensate for the previous one. Splendid, truly one of the best in the series if not the best, the way of the story being told seems strange, but fits perfectly with the episode is like a spiral, switching between present, past and future. The soundtrack keeps the habit of being exceptional. Shiki was so cute in the end when she asks for the key to kokutou. |
 |
| Not as good as I thought itd be but still pretty good. |
| This movie was obviously a magnum opus. It blended in the material of the previous movies together into the story of this movie for a great twist. They didn't just dedicate a movie to Fujino Asagami and Kirie Fujo for a petty reason. As always, the animation was high quality; the combat scenes were fluid, and the backgrounds were precisely beautiful all throughout the movie. Enjou Tomoe. I love this guy. A ton of development was aimed at him who I thought was an uninteresting character. I couldn't have been more wrong now that I found myself attached to him. The tragic fate of Enjou Tomoe was what made him an interesting character of which I wished he didn't have to disappear in the end. He was a very nice character even if he had only appeared once in the KnK movie series. 10/10. One of the few anime that I could call a masterpiece. |
| RIP Rocket Pencils. Never forget. |
~my list
| Huge improvement from the previous 4 films imo. Execution was flawless and the narrative was creatively done. It was definitely the most professional thing I've ever watched. This is actually making other films look bad in comparison. I'm reluctant at giving a 10/10 when I haven't even finished the much talked about 7th film but this movie deserves it. 10/10 |
 |
Adramelech said: The best one so far. Only thing that bugged me was when the homeless guy called security and Tomoe's father was alive. It shouldn't be so because we knew that the Tomoe that ran away was fake and lived in the house 405, so they should have been dead until morning. Well, maybe that was Araya's doing. I may be wrong here, but I think the fact that the officer rang the doorbell triggered them to respawn. I think that's why Shiki decided to open the door to the Enjou apartment instead of ringing it. Anyway, third time I've re-watched this and it gets better every time. 9/10 (joint favourite with movie 7) |

Anyway, third time I've re-watched this and it gets better every time. 9/10 (joint favourite with movie 7) Pretty much, by ringing the doorbell the officer incidentally caused them to repeat their cycle as if nothing had happened. As shown when Shiki and Tomoe entered the premises without knocking, the events proceeded as they were meant to instead of the cycle being repeated through outside interference. Also yeah I definitely agree, this and and the 7th film are tied as the best films in the series. |
| Rewatched this. Somehow, the film is even better than I remembered it. In fact, I found most of the films more enjoyable the second time around (excluding film 4 because I was already well aware of the mechanics behind Shiki's power the second time around). Brilliant. |
 |
| Not sure if it's the length or the content but this movie is better than the previous ones. The way the story was presented reminded me of Baccano! for some reason. Most of the moments were done right but I think the best one was Tomoe's flashback when he went to his old home, what a good character considering the screen time he had. He is more fleshed out in the novel but the movie did a great job. 10/10 |
 |
| Those breath taking fights! 9/10 |

| That was great. probably my favorite of the series. loved everything about it. Damn i really did like Tomoe. anyway great movie 10/10 |
| Amazing movie. The best from the Kara no Kyoukai series I've seen so far. Infinitely superior. Tomoe Enjou's dispair, the hate of Alba Cornelius and the fights with Araya... Everything. Damn good. |
| Another great movie. I like how everything came together and made sense in the ending. We get some info about Touko's past and about magus in general. And a very interesting scene that looks like a dream of Shiki. Was that afterlife? And that one was SHIKI? If Shiki and Tomoe were meant to symbolize Yin and Yang in this scene I guess it couldn't be SHIKI (since SHIKI represents the male side of her personality). I supposed it would be explained later on. We still haven't seen that blonde guy from the end of movie 4. |
 |
| Holy shit,this was amazing.Best movie in the series so far. Really good in every way possible. |
| Good but overrated. |
Drucoz said: Bit confused as to how Shiki spoke to Tomoe at the end but I guess this series goes along with confusion lol. Do you mean the dream or the sequence where Shiki was talking to Tomoe while she was still trapped inside the apartment? Due to Shiki's affinity and strong connection to the Origin, she was able to witness many events throughout history during the time while she was in a coma after being subdued by Araya (one of them being a conversation she had with Tomoe). In the case of the dream it's essentially the same reasoning (her strong connection to the Origin), rather the surreal presentation is meant to signify Tomoe's parting and farewell to Shiki. Drucoz said: Alba was a bit cheesy but eh, passable. Was he that guy in F/Z? Indeed he was. In F/Z those were his glory days before he met Touko... XD |

| I thought I'd try rewatching this film a second time and... And... God, now that I actually understand the Nasuverse in its entirety, thoroughly immersed all the way through whilst enjoying the nonlinear continuity, picking up all these little details, practically teared up Enjou's story, and even got the CUTEST AFTER-CREDITS SCENE I HADN'T KNOWN WAS THERE BEFORE WHICH MADE THE 11/10 SCORE I ALREADY FOR IT UP TO 12/10. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, this is just too amazing, too amazing, everything about this movie is simply all too perfect...! |
 |
| Amazing style of story telling. I was wondering how they could make a new character work, and oh boy did they pull it off big time. The animation and music are godly, and I love every single character in this movie. The non-stop mindfuckery they use after the 40-minute mark is amazing, and the way they tie everything together is just brilliant. 10/10, best KnK movie so far. Hands down. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| holy shit. 10/10. im speechless. best movie yet. hope 6 can top this. didnt think anything would personally top #3, but this blew the fuck out of the rest of the movies. |
Grapekiwi said: holy shit. 10/10. im speechless. best movie yet. hope 6 can top this. didnt think anything would personally top #3, but this blew the fuck out of the rest of the movies. Movie 6 is more of a "breather" sort of film after Movie 5. While Movie 5 serves as the climax for the supernatural elements of the series, Movie 7 on the other hand acts as the proper closure to Shiki and Mikiya's relationship. |
