| more 2deep4me armchair philosophy completely based off a fictional universe disappointing and totally unnecessary, could have been done in 5 minutes |

| I thought it was pretty decent. It cleared up some of the problems I had in the movies fairly well |
| The couple of minutes in this movie spent explaining exactly what Shiki is and why she's important really should have been integrated into the main series rather than being shoved in this DVD bonus, it would have made the motivations of certain characters a lot more understandable and thus made those characters more interesting. Oh well, I suppose that final blunder is a fitting end to this embarrassing pseudointellectual cringefest. |
Verdale said: What if they read the novels first, and then watch the films in chronological order?I agree that the order in which these movies were released add to the overall enjoyment of them. I cringe when I hear people say they watched them in chronological order the first time because they didn't want to be confused... You're just missing out on so much hidden and subliminal production value by doing that. |

| It seems weird the episode explaining the various personalities is the last one. Also "Shiki", "Ryougi Shiki" and "SHIKI" as names for the three personalities is kinda funny but weird. Anyways, I don't have that much to say, it kinda felt like it rambled on a bit (I don't know how many times they said her origin was nothingness or that she was the consciousness of the body) but it wasn't that bad. Though I will remember that orange sky screensaver they put behind almost every scene. |

| This epilogue was not meant for action. It only had dialogues between Kokotou and supposedly a third personality of shiki. I think this special started to create more confusion about Shiki in the beginning but I guess they wrapped it up fine. Basically the Shiki we know so far in all the previous movies had no intention to kill Kokotou or anyone else I guess. It wasn't bad. It does give additional information which might seem somewhat important so I guess its not recommended to skip it. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Pretty interesting conversation kinda want to see old shiki some more though |
| Inhales oxygen |
| Short but really full with dialogues that explains more things regarding Shiki. Not the most intriguing one for me but Shiki is very beautiful here so i guess it's still worth the watch. |
 |
| Philosophical graphomania. But i liked the calm and the night snowy city in orange. |
| imagine listening to a dialog about nothingness and expecting to find something? The whole thing with how shiki interacts with the root bascally makes her god and the way she disappeared at the end could be her using the root. Mages who has been hunting for the origin as that is the purpose of most of them should be head hunting shiki nonstop but only araya has done so and touko doesn't seem to care but keeps her closeby. |

| What I was able to get from this epilogue is that Shiki was nothingness to counter this she made SHIKI and shiki that made her who she was today. This archetype was Shikis true nature that was inside her that knew everything but it was pointless, She could change the world but that would be more energy wasted so she layed inside of shiki. Even with all this she was only able to speak because of Shiki. "because i'm no more than a physical body" Archetype shiki was also the cause of the murderous nature towards Mikiya, Also being connected to the spiral "where everything is provided, and thus, where theres nothing." Lastly a explation on mikiyas character so all those mfs who hated him for being "bland" got a reason to like him now. Hes so natural nobody tries to understand him, he will live and die "as a matter of course," he doesn't wish for anything so he remains alone. Lots of information in 20 minutes I had a headache trying to process all this, I even pulled the video up to write this since I couldn't find out how to start, Even with all this I feel like im missing something here or mentally. |
