Dunno if anyone mentioned it yet but at 1:44:05 Shiki has both thumbs when she's not supposed to.

Great finale imo, and honestly it felt like the most simple and honest of all the KnK movies. Even a sweet happy ending, that was beautifully animated by the way.

I can definitely see this as being a series that I'll visit multiple times down the road.

Holy shit, that was...really dark. Really enjoyable. Nice ending. I can't come up with a whole bunch of crap to write about it, but it was really good. Sorry for sounding so inarticulate. Anyway, as for score...I kind of want to give it a 10, but I can't for some reason.

I haven't played the Visual Novel so I was quite surprised at the happy ending considering Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night. Surprised and happy and satisfied.

Straight 10s from me. I watched all seven movies in one sitting and the experience is hands down one of the best 9-10 hour marathons I've ever done. I wish I could add all seven movies to my favorites list but unfortunately we're only allowed five and I would consider it unfair to list just one.

You don't want to kill a serial killer. What do you do???
1. You let him almost kill you and your friend.
or
2. You kick the shit out of him and hand him over to the police.

Hard choice...

PS: don't remind me the Legend of Galactic Heroes. I dropped it after the first episodes... who the heck came up with those idiotic strategies???

Obviously I care. The ending was too childish and stupid... not even Familiar of Zero II, which is more childish than this one and the main male character didn't want to kill other people, had this kind of stupid ending.

So what??? It's better to beat him for a second time (she kicked the shit out of him 3 times!!!) rather than getting themselves killed.

But as you can see it doesn't work like that.

And what's she supposed to say? "Hey I cut off the arm of this guy, but he's the murderer so please arrest him"?

Killing someone in self-defense is not a murder. So yeah... you can cut off the arm of a serial killer when he tries to kill you without worrying about the law. That's common sense.

Furthermore Shiki should have killed him when he said that he was going to kill her friend. It wouldn't be the first time (Araya) and Kokuto haven't told her yet not to kill him. Of course then we would have a 1 hour movie instead of 2 hours movie. ;)

No it's not. If you cut off the arm of someone and hands them over to the police, obviously there's going to be some heavy questioning. You're an idiot if you think that killing someone in self defense simply let's you get away. ( ´_ゝ`)
Either way, she wouldn't involve the police in this.

The guy was covered with the blood of the murdered people, the murder weapon had his fingerprints and his stomach had pieces of human flesh! You don't need more evidence. On the other hand it is against the law to know information about a serial killer and not inform the police.

Listen to what Mikia says about the killing of the guy, he had clearly described the reasons why Shiki wouldn't kill [anyone]. Also, Shiki's grandfather told her about that. Good luck.

Maybe, magician is not considered as normal human being in case of all this moral stuff and reasons to choose the way of killing or not, etc. Though I can't answer you exactly, of course.

Well, Mikia saw that Lio still had something: he haven't killed Mikia in the room and went away while he could control himself 'cause of Mikia's kindness, that's why Mikia wanted to save him.

Whatever... she could have damage his leg in order for her to escape... she could have anonymously tipped of the police about his identity (his arm was left on the crime scene!)... she could have done something... it's common sense. I can't teach you common sense. It was just stupid. It's that simple. You can't just stand there and die... that's freaking obvious...

If you're trying to say that it's illogical, then I agree with you. But this movie (well, not only this -- a lot of them) is about message. All is seem to be logical when you're looking at work through the prism of the message, but illogical from common point of view. Well, for you it can be even stupid. Yes, she could escape or tell the police about the guy, but by doing so she would run away from herself, and it would not make any sense in the context of the message and the whole movie. What price are you ready to pay to remain human? I think, she paid the whole price. Human is more human when he is ready to sacrifice and does not depend not only on some material things, but even on his own principles... There's a term "zone of comfort" in psychology. The more you are ready to leave it behind, the more you are human. Shiki has passed through such humiliation with humility. I mean, even if she killed Lio then, now she doesn't depend so much as before and she can live as a normal human... and to love, despite the circumstances.

Damn, I just don't like to argue some ambiguous things, but it seems that I had to :) . You know, they say, "each has its own truth".

They could have showed us the message they wanted with a logical plot.
In the end she killed him... so why the heck did we wait??? Not to mention that she killed him for revenge and not to protect Kokuto or other people. Yeah... nice message... don't kill in order to protect yourselves... don't kill in order to protect others... kill for revenge. :p

She had to pass through all the things Lio had done to her and not to loose her human face, that's what I meant. So maybe after that she could kill Lio, 'cause she had already learned to sacrifice and to love. Also, she killed him without real anger confusing the mind, I'd say she was cold-blooded then.

So she is a masochist... she should have killed him earlier. No reason to pass through anything... we don't need to be threaten by a serial killer in order to learn to sacrifice and to love.

Am I the only who thinks that there was actually a kiss in this installment?

Right at the very end of the movie, after the part where it shows the date of when the movie took place, something more happened with the hug scene between Mikilya and Shiki. It only show from the shoulders down though.

You can seee Mikiya hold Shiki tighter and Shiki's upper half of her body moved in close.


Many people do not realize that scene.

I like the last movie not so much as the novel but still remains a good adaptation I hope to see soon the epilogue.

This is the one film that actually goes into the details of Mikiya and Shiki and their relationship. We actually get some real focus on them instead of the tsudenere crap that was just touched upon here and there in the other movies.

It was good in some aspects. I mean I finally understood why Shiki can "kill anything" once Aozaki explained about the concept of reincarnation with the point of origin. We saw what happened with that part 2 stuff and the whole dual personality with Shiki and why he/she was so crazy about Mikiya.

But Mikiya makes no sense. I get he's a normal dude (well not really I mean he survived getting beaten in Movie 5 and survived all that crap in movie 7.) and just wants to be regular but some of the stuff he does is not logical or realistic. One can argue that he was infatuated with Shiki and already in love with her and love makes you do crazy things but it still seems weird. Camping out on someone's hosue to prevent them from going around killing things? Trying to seek help for some crazy guy that a Class A mage tells you is unsavable? All at the expense of his and his friend's health. Guy is too weird. And look what it got him...Shiki STILL killed that freak and he has a bad leg and one eye (dude get an eyepatch or a glass eye not a fucking bad comb over)

The drool scene was weird and I thought Lio was trying to infect her with the parasite or whatever that he had in his body but apparently it was just CG drool. I don't think people can drool that much but ok. Speaking of parasites they showed Lio spazzing out in the first encounter and talking about how he doesn't have much time and yet nothing happens later on. He just dies very easily. I'm assuming that was an after effect of all his past lives existing at once but I can only speculate.

And I still don't get why Aozaki didn't go and help them. I get she plays the part of the old wise leader that is pretty powerful but never gets off her ass and she does it in an endearing and likable way but still it was weird in this aspect cause this case seemed rather personal. Maybe that's why she didn't get involved. And what was up with her leaving? When she was talking to Mikiya's sister (who is also weird with her incest fetish)?

The mystery played out well. It wasn't super confusing like Paradox Spiral (who's non linear style and expositonal dropping of various concepts made it lolwut) but still worth putting clues and thinking about stuff as well as drawing from past episodes.

The music was godly as always. The fights were meh. I think past movies did a better job.

And did Shiki really bite her thumb off? Why didn't she just take off her fake arm or break it off? You could always get another one. And didn't her arm have powers? I remember in the first movie it could do some DevilMayCry4/Jojo's Bizarre Adventure esque type things when it grabbed that ghost girl.

In the end the series was pretty much a supernatural love story like Twilight but you know good. 7 out of 10.

You fail at understanding what these movies mean.

If you didn't get what others have been telling you, you pretty much just stick with Twilight rubbish and Narutard shit.
