| Hello, I would like to know how I should watch this series, there is a lot of movies and I already know that the story of the movies takes place on different times, my question is should I watch the movies by the release date order, or by the order of the story? Sorry if I sound a little confusing. |
| release order for the first run. If you decide to re-watch it then you can watch it in chronological order. It takes something from the story if you don't watch it in release order first. |

| Release order will confuse you as first. Better is to watch it 2 times, so both release & chronologically. |
| I want to watch all of the Kara no Kyoukai movie's but I'm not sure in what order. Should I watch them as they are released or is there a better order? |
| If you liked Memento and Pulp Fiction, watch them in the release order. If not, in the chronological order. |
 |
| Watch them in their intended order - you won't gain anything by watching them chronologically, because they are ultimately standalone stories with some overarching story elements. Also each film is meant to add a little bit more to the built up suspense - with the 7th being the emotional high and fulfilling end. - You would deprive yourself of that. |
 |
| I have to say its not confusing at all in release order, maybe you'll be like, "what's going on?" during the first movie, but everything falls into place really well by the end of the fourth movie. I personally like it when they mix the story around, like they did in Haruhi 2006. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Definitely 1-7. It might be a bit confusing at first, but by the end, everything will make sense, and you'll probably catch yourself going "wow" |
| Watch them in the release order. Indeed, it might be a bit confusing but I really loved that about the movies. It's like a puzzle in which all the pieces fall in place. If you're afraid that you won't be able to follow the story, then keep track of the timeline. Every movie shows the year and month in which it takes place. |

| I'm interested in the movies for a long time now and I got my hands on the Limited Edition Collection of the movies really cheap for like 30 bucks and now I want to start. But I heard that the movies' release order isn't really the chronological order. So what do you guys suggest, watch it in the original/intended or the chronological order? Thanks in advance. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| Release order, as intended. If you can't deal with non-chronological, then KnK was probably too much to digest in the first place. Hope it's to your liking. |
| Release order. Things are better that way though the first movie will seem a little strange to you since it's not the actually beginning |

| Fantastic, thanks guys. I'll get right to it. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| Should I watch it in release order or watch it like this? Kara no Kyoukai 2: Satsujin Kousatsu (Part 1) Kara no Kyoukai 7: Satsujin Kousatsu (Part 2) Kara no Kyoukai 4: Garan no Dou (June 1998) Kara no Kyoukai 3: Tsuukaku Zanryuu (July 1998) Kara no Kyoukai 1: Fukan Fuukei (September 1998) Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen (November 1998) Kara no Kyoukai 6: Boukyaku Rokuon (January 1999) seems confusing but I think I'm going to watch it in release order for the sake of it. But does it make any difference really? Please no spoilers thanks :) |

| for starters you got the chronological order wrong it goes like this 2 4 3 1 5 6 7 and no you shouldnt, its best to watch the series as it was released, just dont expect a lingering question or two from the 2nd movie to be answered until the final film |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| wait it's not in chronological order? no wonder i dropped it after first movie |
| Moved to KnK subboard |
 I am a banana. |
| Release order, release order, release order That's how it's meant to be viewed and that's how it's best viewed. |
 |
| So i got Kara No Kyoukai series,but not sure which one comes first and last lol -_- Also,i guess i am missing one or two of them,not sure of them either.... Looking for a help >< (lol) What i got so far:  heard that theres Kara No Kyoukai Mirai Fukain or something?? or is it included?? thanks in advance :D |
| How about watching 01, then going on to 02, followed by 03, 04, 05, 06 and finally 07? I know this sounds weird but maybe give it a try. |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/14807/Kara_no_Kyoukai:_Mirai_Fukuin ?? I don't know, just typed it in the search bar. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| I thought that movie was just there to sum up some of the scenes in the first 6 movies. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer! |
| Yeah I watched in the order 1 through 6, then Gate of seventh gate, then 7, then epilogue and then mirai fukuin |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| when in doubt watch in release order http://tinyurl.com/kamul5u |

| I'm gonna start watching this movie series over spring break and I'd rather watch it in chronological order |
 |
| In chronological order : 2-4-3-1-5-6-7 Or in initial order : 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 |

| You i just found that here is more movies of Kara no Kyouka i read in one forum that this is the correct order: Kara no Kyoukai 2: Satsujin Kousatsu (Part 1) Kara no Kyoukai 7: Satsujin Kousatsu (Part 2) Kara no Kyoukai 4: Garan no Dou Kara no Kyoukai 3: Tsuukaku Zanryuu Kara no Kyoukai 1: Fukan Fuukei Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen Kara no Kyoukai 6: Boukyaku Rokuon Kara no Kyoukai: Epilogue(special) So i wonder if this is right or not... and if no which one is correct then.  |

| I'm going to watch it in chronological order. |
| That the release order does not match the in-anime-chronology is on purpose. For me having watched them in release order not only raised the attention I paid, it also overall enhanced my experience resp. enjoyment. also : watch it with the "manner movies" if feasible. |
| *darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.* |
| I am not a fan of KnK, just finished it like yesterday, so i don't know if this is the right order or not. I watched it with this order: KnK Movie 1-6 KnK Remix Gate of Seventh Heaven KnK Movie 7 KnK Shuushou KnK Mirai Fukuin KnK Mirai Fukuin Extra Chorus |

saeed1m said: It's better to watch it in chronological order like this: How is that in any way better ? I suggest release order. Also, I suggest watching them WITH the "manner movies" - individual stop-motion shorts that in cinemas ran before the film. Moreover - with film 7 the whole thing closes; the epilogue short (Shuushou) then is a sort of summary for all those that want questions answered they still have. Imo. it does so in a way that is a disgrace to the film series, so it might be worth considering skipping that one, or watching it without subtitles on (to watch the pretty snowing). |

| I just want to know that if it's okay to watch in chronological order, I will not spoil myself in that way, will I? I tried in broadcasting order a few years back and I didn't like it that way. |

NekoZamurai said: I just want to know that if it's okay to watch in chronological order. No. The Novel/Movies were intentionally made in non-chronogical order to add a lot of tension/mystery/confusion in it. Watching it chronologically will take away a huge amount of the mystery/confusion , which is , in my opinion , what makes Kara no Kyoukai so special. The "chronogical order" is not even chronological because the Movie 5 is just back and forth in time (Not time travel) while Movie 7 contains flashback from the Movie 2 that were not shown then. (Movie 9 : Mirai Fukuin & 10 : Extra Chorus are also composed of 3 parts each , taking place at completely different points in the timeline.) Overall , you can watch it in the "chronological order" but it's not recommanded at all. (Once you watched Movie 1-6 , you can watch the Remix which recap the Movies in chronogical order with an AMV format.) Edit : to completely respond to you : NekoZamurai said: I will not spoil myself in that way, will I? No , but you will take away a lot of mystery/confusion. NekoZamurai said: I tried in broadcasting order a few years back and I didn't like it that way. Then maybe Kara no Kyoukai is not for you. I personally prefer Kara no Kyoukai over the Fate Series exactly because it focus way more on the mystery side rather than action one. |

| I think you should try it again in the normal (/broadcast) order. Like the user above said, the story was told in a nonlinear way on purpose. |
| Are you sure that it's just a fault of order of watching solely? It's a pretty strange anime with a good animation and even more great music but kinda overwhelmed with pretentious silent scenes and overall fatalist roughness. |
