| First three movies were 10 on my scale, but this one is 9. It was kind of slow and not exciting as the others. The best scene was : "All right. Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz ... XD |
Hard_Sir said: Well I must say I thought it was a bit different than the previous ones. I couldn't however understand why the hell is SHIKI referred to as he in the 4 movie, fansubbed by gg? ... Really my good sir? If you had been paying attention (or at least read the synopsis of one of the movies) you would know that Shiki had two different personalities. And so on and so forth. :| |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| just awesome pace on this episode going very smoothly IMO n shiki chara development explained with very well too 9/10 |
 |
| This is defiantly my favorite so far and I am so excited to see the 5th movie~ :D 9/10 |
 |
| As many have said, IT WAS TOO SHORT! It was not much longer than a regular 30minute anime episode...TT-TT Although this episode wasnt as action packed as the previous ones, it was still interesting to watch. It was one of the more emotional movies in the series; It was quite sad to see Shiki in such a state... On the other hand, Touko is becoming a better character in each movie I watch! I say her voice actress is doing a great job with Touko's different personalities. :] I'm really looking forward to the next episode; it seems quite exciting! |
Bleed for me.  |
| well, this was good. some questions were answered. looking forward to 5 |
| Hmm. The level of writing has stayed consistent from last episode. Which is to say that it's worked itself out of the negatives, and can start accomplishing things. Still not exactly a fan of the series, but I haven't hated the past two episodes. The pacing of this movie was the best so far. I wasn't constantly checking the time to see how much was left. The fact that it was shorter probably had a lot to do with this, and I'm kind of nervous to see that the fifth one will be twice as long as the earlier movies. The fact that Touko could tell what Shiki's ability was (and even had a name for it) is weird. The impression I got was that the Death Eyes ability was unique to Shiki, but apparently not. I can accept that event as "whatever, maybe Touko made up a name on the fly," though. I also don't like the fact that Shiki stabbed herself, especially after the anti-suicide message of the first episode. "Kill my weaker self," sounds pretty cool, but it's inconsistent with the previously established theme. Overall, not a bad episode. Some much-needed development for both Shiki and Touko. I still don't understand either of them, but at least we're headed in the right direction. 6/10 |

You're thinking about Blue, Aoko, her sister, she who only has one magic circuit but yet inherited the magic. In before I'm killed by Touko. |

How in the world would I know that at this point? I'm assuming you've read the novels, or else the 5th movie explains it. Besides, like sobzob pointed out, that sounds more like Aoko from Melty Blood/Tsukihime.

Yes, I know. As weird I think the ability to "kill" appendicitis is (with a knife, no less), I'll take it in with the series. I'm just upset that she essentially committed suicide after they made an anti-suicide statement in episode 1. |

Ah....So it´s only Aoko, Until now I tough that the both could use...I will reserch this better later. naikou said: APepper said: 1-It is not weird, Touko is a graded magician and one of the only 5 people who can use the true magic.This ability is not unique to Shiki but is very rare, also Touko didn´t built up the name.

Well I read everything translated from type-moon excepect for the knk novels.But keep in mind that Touko can be powerfull |

Read. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/suicide Now compare it to your sentence and rethink this over. |
| It was suicide. She killed the male part of herself. |
naikou said: She killed the male part of herself. No. |
| She just killed an "alien" to her body, for her own sake |
|
| huh. I was under the impression that she killed SHIKI-kun. Where did the "alien to her body" come from? |
naikou said: huh. I was under the impression that she killed SHIKI-kun. Where did the "alien to her body" come from? Watch it again. SHIKI 'died' in the car accident. She killed the spirit that tried to possess her and changed herself to live up for the man within her who was lost. |
| I see. My bad. I got confused because when she did it, she said something like, "Now I'll kill my weaker self." |
| this fourth installment is weak IMHO |
| the 3rd "episode" had more action but this one was actually pretty good in his own way, because the character development was the biggest part in here. |
| This was best movie out of the first 4 in my opinion cause it actually helped make everything make sense a lot more. |
 |
| Development, yes. <3 I enjoyed this. It was so beautiful. Art and animation was top-notch, as always. I can really feel for the characters in this series, they're so loveable. Not as much action, but character/plot development made up for it, yes. I would have given this a 10, if it weren't for the whole "I'M SIIIIINGING IN ZE RAIINNNNN~" If he had been singing another song (that he could pronounce properly) I wouldn't have laughed so damn hard. Kinda ruined the mood tbh. |
|
aero said: Ahh, why so short ;__; But anyway, animation and sound is still top notch. my thoughts exactly. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| ugh.. i already have fate/zero novel on hold i want to start reading kara no kyoukai now |
 |
| It was confusing.. However, I think I can understand a little, just a little.. Next episode... |
 |
| SINGING IN THE RAIN! |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Another great movie, but short I was kinda confused about which Shiki is presented, but it's all good. Judging from the comments, Shiki lost the male part. |
| Short great movie is really great!!! 9/10 for me... Kinda confused in the ending, but I think it's alright. |
     |
| Kinda confusing, but now I get it ^^. Great music + animation. 8/10 |
| Nice one, but not so good like the earlier ones. 8/10. |
 |
| I liked Touko from the first episode, and now I love her. She's a surprising woman. I still prefer the first episode, but this one gets very close. Its ending too. |
| I thought that this was the best one so far. |
 |
| I thought this part of the story was going to be explained in the last movie. Don't know why, perhaps because of the names? It was short, but really good. The next one is going to be very long though. |
| Another great entry in the series, I can't describe how much I liked it or if I liked the previous entries better, what I know is that I'm getting more and more interested in the story, and that every movie is fantastic in their own way. 2 things in common though: Superb Animation and Music. I think I will eventually rewatch the movies again, chronologically, after I finish all 7, it will be a different, still great experience. |
 |
| Shiki with long hair was the BEST. Combined with those shining blue eyes, she was SO pretty. |
     |
| Great again and the ED is lovely. |
 |
| Damn this was totally awesome (especially Mikia's "singing in the rain" XD) . 10/10 |
| i'm a little disappointed with this one,this needs more action and exciting moments :-) nevertheless... 8/10 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| So much for me understanding anything that went on. Oh well, long-haired Shiki was cute and ED was wonderful though. |
| I thought it was gonna be a boring episode, but that fight made this episode enjoyable. |
 |
| I wonder why the sequences of the movies are like this.. Anyway 7/10 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Woah, Shiki should of stayed long haired >_> I'm also pretty annoyed that the storyline doesn't follow through chronologically in the movies - but I can still understand what goes where so meh.. And I must comment - I love the colours in this series. Her eyes look way cool LOL. |
| I prefer long-haired Shiki as well ^_^ |
| "Isn't life, by nature, a contest decided by a single round? However trifling the matter, it's not possible to return to the last save point by pushing some reset button." - Kazuki Hoshino, Hakomari, Vol. 1 |
| This one had less action than the previous ones but the character development really made up for it. For some one who hasn'tread the novels this had some great info in it. |
| 6/10 It was very short. I can tell this episode with few lines... seriously: Shiki is in the hospital for some reason, SHIKI-KUN escaped her body somehow but ended up in a dead body, Shiki meets whatshername with red hair who turned out to be some kind of magician, Shiki ended up fighting SHIKI inside a dead body, SHIKI penetrates Shiki after getting owned by Shiki with sharingan (lol), Shiki commits suicide to kill SHIKI but SHIKI dies only, Shiki is alive in the hospital. Add animation, cheesy emo scenes to make this series look "deep" and a great sound track. Still much better than the two firsts episode. The third is the best so far. I hope the fifth lives up to the hype, considering it's the highest rated and is the longest of the series. |
 |
| SHIKI was a male? >> One question answered, another question added. |
xxtsubasa said: Shiki with long hair was the BEST. Combined with those shining blue eyes, she was SO pretty. This. Ep was short but more good as we get to know more about Shiki. Am curious Who that man is?!. Well anyway, I'll continue watching as i have all episodes... (`o´) |
