This Shiki's voice has a lulling tone to it. I got sleepy in the middle of this epilogue lol. :P

I find the snowy landscape very beautiful. Perfect backdrop for a deep conversation.

Kara, I am disappoint.


Same. I really wanted to love this anime, but it was only worse and worse. The epilogue is awful...

Such a waste.

Great Scenery
Good animation/drawing

Other then that, its just a shithole.
Shiki personality automatically reminded me of the Elfen Lied Manga.
The talk is godawful boring.
The current Shiki is terrible.
The soundtrack is also awful.

Can't believe my expectation from high went down to low in 4 minutes.

This is not what I have waited for for more than a year. And the "Blu-ray" movies are mostly DVD upscales. Ufotable, I am disappoint.

Bullshit. Did you even see it?

I'l make it easy for you
this is dvd upscale - http://twitvideo.jp/contents/img/04fNv
and this is what we got - http://twitvideo.jp/contents/img/04fNs

Moreover, the epilogue look amazing.

No, the movies are upconverts. It's a little more complicated than scaling the picture up, which is what happened to that DVD frame you linked to. The picture is better in the bluray because it's missing all the dvd artifacts that were in the earlier release. More bandwidth for video, no color banding, and no edge haloing. But the artwork itself really isn't any finer lined than it was in the last release.

It's funny, I remember when people used to talk about how awesome the new DVD transfer was of X film and how much better it was than the previous VHS version, and now DVD is actually recognized as being not that great for all the reasons I just mentioned.

The Epilogue however, that does look like a true HD production.

Regarding the limp: I don't think she healed it. He picks up his leg to turn and walk away, but if you watch the scene as we pan out he still seems to be dragging it. Even a useless leg can be picked up by a working hip.

Shiki pretty much summed up this episode. 30 fucking minute saying the same shit over and over and over and over and over.

How the fuck did her finger grow back by the way?

That's probably the only good thing about this episode.

They repeated themselves many times and the whole conversation could have been quicker and simpler. I was expecting something like this though, so I can't really say I'm disappointed. I still enjoyed it quite a bit actually. The atmosphere was fantastic and I understand a lot more about Shiki and the whole Kara series now. So even if it wasn't anything amazing, the epilogue completed it's purpose and at the same time kept me interested enough during the half hour.

Touko probably gave her a new one : Shiki "removed" the thumb on her artificial arm (the left one).

It's 33 minutes of long, boring talk between Kokutou and Shiki.

Uhm, doesn't the synopsis say so?
MAL synopsis said:
The epilogue titled "Kara no Kyoukai" is about a conversation between Mikiya and 「 」.

I didn't even bother to read the synopsis after all it was KnK. if i knew there is all talk in 33 minutes which is not even shiki herself but her third personality who don't even have a name. i would have never ever watched this epilogue. how could i wasted my 40 minutes. (pause and try to understand some dialogues) but oh well.

This epilogue was good, except the repetitive dialogue and length. The meaning and outcome behind their whole conversation was acceptable, but it was just... mmm... it could have been better done, but nevertheless at least the conclusion to the story was OK and understandable. In the end all I can say regarding this story is that it had a nice and decent ending.

It was pretty boring but the dialogues were meaningful to a certain extend.

Shiki has got to me one of the most complex and interesting characters I've ever seen, you really gotta watch every Kara no Kyoukai movie to even start to grasp and understand the multiple layers that exist within Ryougi Shiki.

Overall this was a pretty nice conclusion to the Kara no Kyoukai saga. While still leaving us with some pieces for us to put together, it warped the main point rather well.

Like others have already said, the long drawn out repeating dialog was unneeded. They could have summed up everything they said in 5 no 10 mins comfortably. Even for an Epilogue it was painfully long and contributed very little to the overall story.

No, she did not fix his leg. Watch the ending scene where he's moving down the hill. He lifts one leg up while dragging the other it's clear as day.

The visuals where great but the overall OVA was a waste of time to watch. I wasn't expecting much to begin with since it was an Epilogue but I have to say this left a sour taste in my mouth. The series as a whole was amazing though. It's definitely worth buying and rematching over and over again.
