| Finally got around this time. The animation and music is something you'd expect from any Ufotable thing but still feels like there's a lot I don't know about. I know this release order being different from chronological order so yeah would take a bit grasping the things around. Also Shiki too has those eyes of death perception same as Tohno Shiki, well not like I didn't knew about but still feels good again witnessing that same thing. 7/10 for now but might change it after completion. |
| bored out of my mind to be brutally honest |
| Hard to get into this since it isn't chronological and we aren't given a lot of information about the characters and their motivations. Nonetheless, not a bad start. I liked the background music and while I found most of Toko's dialogue to be eye-roll inducing (Except for the "Don't choose your path based on the sins you bear but bear your sins along the path you've chosen" line), I liked the character interactions. On to the sequels !!!! |
| this was fantastic!! really beautiful art and animation i can tell the story is likely only just starting, which i'm excited for as i really liked this first movie/"episode" shiki is really cool and i can tell i'm going to like it more and more i actually quite like that this series, so far, seems vague and 'confusing'. when done in an interesting and good way, that kind of thing can be really interesting and draw me into a series. i'm sure that the confusing concepts will be explained later, which i think makes it a little more fun! ost was awesome too, i was thinking to myself "wow, this is fantastic" supposedly the episodes/movies aren't chronological, so that makes it really interesting and more of a mystery. i'm curious to see how everything plays out i like the late 90s japan setting a lot as a fate fan, i'm really excited to venture out into more of the nasuverse and i think this movie has left a really fantastic impression on me, and has confirmed the good things i've heard ab the rest of the nasuverse |

| holy fuck this is the epitome of pseudo but i'll watch some more, hopefully the rest aint as bad |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| Finally starting these movies and I absolutely loved this movie. Cant believe this came out so many years ago. The animation, the visuals, the sound effects and Ost, everything about this rivals most anime that comes out nowadays. The plot was indeed a bit confusing for now since the order will be different but I already expected it. We will quite possibly go back in the past or maybe jump in the future as well in the next movies so I guess it would be good to binge them so I dont forget the timeline and stuff. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
I'll admit i didn't know what was happening a lot of the time diving head first into this series mostly blind, I'm only familiar with Nasu's Fate series works but so far i loved this movie. The visuals, atmosphere and OST for this movie was fucking spectacular. Even though the plot for a first time watcher felt confusing, i was in absolute awe over some of the scenery and the OST with it. The amount of suspense that was built up in some scenes was great and really overall such a selling point for me. Some of the writing dialogue and symbolism as well felt really thoughtful, i definitely didn't clock all of it, but i kinda understood the meanings between "flying" "floating" and the links to Fujou Kirie. If the other movies have some of these deeper dialogues and messages, i'd be really hooked to watch more. |

| how the hell is this movie from 2007? |
 |
| Oh to be that strawberry haagen dazs ice cream Just checking ufotable's other well known work besides the fate series and demon slayer, the one that I believe started to really put them on the map, and all the way back at 2007 at that. So initial, brief thoughts: not bad, pretty good actually, clean animation as expected even from back then. The visuals and music make this feel straight out of fate stay night- or maybe it should be the other way around since this was released several years prior. Personally not exactly interested enough to keep going, but maybe I'll watch at least the next part or two. In case I don't and you as some odd soul roaming these parts catches this, let me know if I'm missing out, especially on parts 5 and 7 which are supposed to be really good. This is coming from someone mostly impartial to this first movie though, feeling about a 6/10 for this first movie (release-date wise, I'm assuming this isn't exactly released chronologically because of course not. If there even is a chronological order, idk at this point if it works like that) in the Kara no Kyoukai series. I liked the conversation those two had about death and suicide at the end there. Pretty deep. Anyway, most likely not gonna keep watching, but I might, these are only like an hour-long each after all, so idk just yet. In the mean time, cya 'round. This is actually the very last anime that I have on my PTW list. Yeah since I started from early 2020 I've finally cleared it out completely, not counting the titles that have yet to be aired. Yeah while I have nothing but seasonals and re-watches on my mind, maybe I'll keep going. This didn't feel like 50 minutes after all, did feel half as long. Maybe that's saying something. Oh yeah, there's a post credits scene which I almost missed, just a fyi. 6.5/10 |

It depends on what you seek. Most of the Movies appear to be episodic psychological supernatural cases , but they are all deeply linked together , forming an overarching plot. Movie 5 is the most well liked , because he has the most impactful and developed psychological themes and symbolisms , while also linking together the 6 other main Movies. He's often considered as the real end/climax of the franchise. Movie 7 is the one that complete the development of the 2 main characters , with a case that is deeply personally connected to them. Movie 1 is merely selling you the general ambiance of the franchise , while Movie 2 will set the characters and their relationship. You will feel like there is no "real story" before Movie 5. What i personally love about Kara no Kyoukai , is the mystery element. Actually , the mysteries that are introduced in Movie 2 are revealed only extremely subtly through all the Movies. (Especially the 7th) Coupled with the non-linear stories and their psychological themes , it makes the entire franchise extremely confusing , requiring the viewer to pay attention to the smallest details , and often even re-watch everything to get the full picture. BetaMaleUltra said: release-date wise, I'm assuming this isn't exactly released chronologically because of course not. If there even is a chronological order, idk at this point if it works like that Each Movie show the date they take place , so it's not too complicate to arrange them to be chronological. The problem is that Movie 5 himself is not chronological. He goes back and forth in his own timeline. Movie 7 also includes flashback of off-screen scenes of Movie 2 , and Movie 9 & 10 contains 3 parts taking place at different places between Movies. So it's already not a good idea to mess with the intentional confusion that was created , but it can't even be fully chronological anyway. |

| KNK is a lot better to watch in chronological order |
| I've been putting these films off for a while. But I've also been running out of animated Nasuverse stuff to watch. But this is the first time I'd say, I liked this film. But I don't understand why.  I'm okay with that maybe it just a soft spot for Nasu work which I can't defend nor explain. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Visiting this series again because I feel like I missed a lot of things when I first watch it. The first movie didn't really give much to tell and it tell its story in a non-linear way, so it's only normal to be confused about some things in the series. The visual and animation are very nice as expected from Ufotable and the music are very beautiful as what I'd expect from Kajiura (especially Kalafina performance at the end of the Movie, can't wait to hear them in the other movies). And the ambience is as atmospheric as I remember, definitely one of my favorite part of this series other than the ost. Not really the best start but better than what i remembered before. |

| Very fitting music and animation. I like some of the dialogs but Im not 100% sure what i just watched. I will watch some more cuz it is intriguing. |
  |
| Dark, surreal, cool, beautiful, stylish - as always. This movie especially shows the cute side of Shiki. I really like how she protects Kokutou and literally says "I won't give him to you". It's romantic, but romantic in the unique style of this anime. And the ice cream moments are just amazing and very cute. I think Shiki missed Kokutou a little when he was sleeping, so she decided to eat the ice cream he bought - Shiki is such a cutie for real. |
| She really loves him... OwO RIP to the girls who died, such a waste of life. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Every time something new in another rewatch. |
 |
| Watching this movie today ater putting it off for years, I can see how a lot of normies would feel lost watching this first movie. I came here after having read mahoutsukai no yoru so I come with an understanding of how the nasuverse world works. These witches are cruel af and some things just never changes with a beta male character. This movie is a piece of art. |
| finally got to rewatching this movie and probably going to rewatch the entire series. I remember watching the first one a year ago and being baffled I had really no clue what was happening nonetheless I still loved it especially with the atmosphere, soundtrack, animation etc. The difference this time was I had experience with the series AND I read mahoyo and tsukire now on fate in short I think im decent with the terms and how the story works. I actually had a clue what was going on and the date order ain't confuse me too as last time switching years confused me. |
 |
| Finally on the Shiki hype train .It has been over a decade but whatever.The floating ghosts reminds me of a certain event in fgo .Crippled lady taking over unsuspecting girls and making them fall .What could go wrong.There are a few questions left unanswered .Anyway nice start.The atmospheric ambience and psychological telling of the incidents is classic Nasu.Probably have to revisit the episode to get the whole picture later |
