| Does anyone know what Araya meant when he said "We finally meet, Ryougi!". He mention how she was holding back and that self-suggestion brought forth power when she held the sword. Does this mean the other Shiki (Masculine) is back? |
| I can clearly say, that this is the best anime movie I have ever seen... No comments... |
| No sig :( |

That's a pretty misleading way of putting it. She has the power to change herself, but the result isn't another personality, although it is a new Shiki in a way. It's still the same consciousness. "We finally meet" shouldn't be taken too literally. |

| I may have a theory as to why Shiki decided to help Tomoe. Perhaps she sees him, a false existence, existing. The same way her brother Shiki resides within herself. I remember hearing Aozaki mention something about Shiki(female) wanting to honor her brother's existence by acting the way she does. -It was a conversation in the office between Aozaki and Mikiya. |
| 3:45 Thank god, he didn't eat them. 36:21 Holy crap that was awesome. 1:12:35 O_O 1:22 Holy crap whats wrong with this people. 1:44:56 and he is dead, not the most original villain, but he was alright. ☺ 6-7/10 Good sequel the animation and the music (I'm downloading the ending song as I write this) never disappoints. |

| Definitely the best one so far! Overall score 8.5/10 |
     |
| I certainly can't describe the feelings I had watching this movie and the experience that came with it, I'm just certain of this: It was the first time ever that I raised the score of a movie/anime by 1 just because of the combination and quality of the animation and soundtrack. 10/10. |
 |
| Wow. It was amazing. *-* 10/10 |
Nick_xD said: Honestly, I had no idea what the hell was going on half the time. Maybe this is why I thought this was the worst KnK movie so far. Counter force? Tajit whatever? Yin and Yang? What were all those bottles? Why's that guy part of the building? O_O . cbf rewatching gonna look for a summary lol Counter force is a "device" of a kind, which maintains the state of the world. It's purpose is to prevent the end of the world either by removing the threat or empowering the third party opposing the threat. The idea of counter-force was quite possible to grasp from the discussions Touko and Souren had in the movie. That kind of system is also present in some others fantasy settings I've encountered. Taiji is quite common, I guess most of audience knows the symbol in advance. Yin and Yang partly symbolized the two sides of Shiki, along with several others antithesis present in the movie. If you mean the "bottles" under the Ogawa Apartment, my lucky guess is that they're used to power up the whole Souren's experiment, or something like that. Souren is very adapted in the creaton of Bounded Fields, so by utilizing his skills he could create the building exactly to his liking (he could teleport and move within it as freely as he did in the movie). I myself could grasp nearly everything what was happening and the point of vast majority of discussions between the characters during my second re-watch. Maybe one or two things weren't perfectly clear, but I can't even recall them now. The mages' pursue for the spiral of origin is one of the most thrilling themes I've ever encountered in anime. Also watching this masterpiece after reading some of the Type-moon wiki enchanced my experience even further. Oh, how much would I've given for the apparatus erasing my memory of the previous 2 hours. I'd use it every time after watching Paradox Spiral and experence that thrilling piece of art every day. I don't believe I'd ever get tired of this movie anyways, given the sensible periods of time between re-watches. |
 |
| Wow, that was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. The storytelling style was kinda confusing, but it was amazing anyway. Epic music and animation. That last part made me smile. Tomoe x Shiki looks like a cute couple. :D |
     |
| Truly a masterpiece , my head is still spinning XD. 10/10 |
| I feel left out, am I the only who is clueless right now? Because I still do not know what was going on. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| man this was...i have no words PS:was i the only one who laughed when Enjou's mother hit her husband in the head with a pan? xD 10/10 it felt like i was watching a batman movie,only that it was 10x more awesome and with Shiki <3 next episode looks freakin amazing :D |

| Enjou! ;_; He was so amazing. Really reminded me a lot of Emiya from the VN, aside from just looking the same. Best episode so far. I'm not sure if I can give it a 10, so 9/10, but it might change after I rewatch it later on. |
| The best one so far. Good ending. |
 |
| One thing I like about this series is the producers ability to tension build. They do it sublimely in this one. Great stuff. |
 |
| Well I finally got round to watching this. First thing I'd noticed was how this movie was noticeable longer than the previous ones. That said, I don't remember ever feeling bored; one big plus for this series is that no matter how cryptic and confusing it is at times, it keeps the viewer entertained. There was something about this movie that evoked my memories of Fate/stay night and Tsukihime (visual novels), possibly because the main villain reminded me greatly of Kotomine Kirei with a hint of that necro-vampire from Tsukihime (forgot his name). Not to mention how Enjou's physical appearance is almost identical to that of Emiya Shirou. Apart from that, I could feel that same atmosphere I felt while playing those visual novels: a highly fantastical setting with overstreched motives behind every character that still somehow feels vivid, important and makes you want to dive in it headfirst. Another huge plus. What prevented me from classifying it as anything more than "good" was that it felt like this was more aimed towards the audience who has previously read the novels. A lot of stuff felt confusing and for someone not ready to rewind the movie after every other sentence or at least reread the synopsis of the previous movies and character's backgrounds, it gets overwhelming. |

| overrated shit :/ 8/10 |
Mokuton said: overrated shit :/ 8/10 It's overrated AND shit, yet you give it an 8? Doesn't that mean very good on the scales? |
| |
| Loved it. I was screaming "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" when Touko died, but then she came back anyway, phew LOL. |
| Pretty amazing.. the only thing I hate about this is the rewind-fast forward for a lot of different scenes but this doesn't concern how will I rate the movie FTW |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Nice and all, just too much rewinding and fast forwarding. And the time used for development of one-movie-only character(Tomoe) was kinda pointless IMO.(atleast I think he is only in this one.) |
| 10/10 |
| Wow i really enjoyed this movie best one so far |
| I watched it twice and still don't understand what's so good about it. |
| 3/10 Wow... just wow. I have never seen that much bullshit in a single movie since End of Evangelion. I think I'm overrating this series, 3/10 is just to much for this pointless borefest. The animation and sound track saved this from being an unwatchable movie. The worst of the first 5 movies. I just can't see why it's rated higher than the others. So anyone care to tell me what the hell just happened in this movie? Why the hell do they try to make things complicated. Complicated =/= Deep |
 |
| WOW best one yet. The fight scenes in these movies would make for great videogames. |
SuperSaiyen said: So anyone care to tell me what the hell just happened in this movie? Why the hell do they try to make things complicated. Uhm.. to keep it long enough to bore you? :) I also think that it is a bit too long for not that complex storyt but that does not mean I did not enjoy it. The rewinds/fast forwards just made me go rewind it again to get the point.. Btw, anyone already mentioned the similarity of the characters from each movie to the ones in other Type-moon series? Not to mention the names? |
SuperSaiyen said: Why the hell do they try to make things complicated. To piss off people like you, I guess :3 The midpart of the movie with all these rewinds etc. really was a bit overdone, but for me its the best one of the movies. Still, I had a rewatch few days ago, because I understood shit after the first go :S |
| After re-watching KnK in the chronological order (with some knowledge on what was going on and knowing the characters) I have to say: One of the most intense things I have ever seen. The beginning of the movie is gripping, the middle is complicated, the ending is mind-blowing. When things start to get pretty intense you understand what was the meaning of those re-winds and mixed past and present scenes (took me a second watch). Just watch the re-awakening of Shiki in the apartment complex. All ends up making sense (I do agree the movie in not exactly easy to watch, especially if you are going for just some entertainment, the story IS complicated) 10/10 for a near-perfect movie whose masterful animation and unforgettable soundtrack make this one of the most memorable experiences in anime. I think Im gonna skip the 6th one and jump to the 7th movie! |
| |
| Shiting bricks after watch this... |
| Looking for to see fifth movie of Kara No Kyoukai current watching fourth movie of Kara No Kyoukai. |
| And now I ask myself: did I actually understand that all? I need to stop watching serious anime so late at night when I'm out of it. I'm gonna try and find a summary or something tomorrow. -_- |
| Ok this was incredible! First: 1hour and 53 min. yay~ for so long time :) This movie was the best, loved the Animation and it had an excellent story. 9/10 |
     |
| i dont think i can say any more than what has already been said. Just WOW.... amazing movie! |
 |
| Despite the amazing action in the movie, I still find myself somewhat confused after watching the movie. The third movie was better at this point. It's pretty impressive nonetheless, but even at this date, it's still pretty high to get an 8.86 out of 10 7/10 for me. |

| Wow , so mindfucking in this movie ,I love non-linear story telling but i think they overused it a bit. There's something i didnt get, how much time did enjou spend with shiki? , and when did exactly mikiya came back from his trip? he started to investigate the case about the building before his trip? did shiki really went out for killing those days? (when she told enjou) |
