Are Kara no Kyokai movies good example of how anime adaptations should be done? And are they supposed to be seen with previous knowledge of novel material?

| Watched only the first one. Didn't like it but I'll check out the rest eventually. Isn't my priority though. |

Psajdak said: Wait, are you guys serious that KnK movies were bad? I mean, it wasn't the best anime stuff I ever saw, but quality was amazing. As for substance, I guess everyone will say differently, although, for me they weren't really shallow, to be honest. not really..there are about 7-8 obligatory vocal people who will harp on similar stuff OT:I kinda agree with your using KNK as an example except KNK6 which was a mess. As to the second question,no..it should be standing on its own. |

| Of course you want something to look good. Adaptions also seem better well received if the only changes done or made are simply aesthetic or make something more likable even at the expense of the source. No one complains about flamethrower spears in Seirei no Moribito or making the prince important instead of an asshole as in the book. |
| while i have recently finished KnK and still have my wild admiration for it, i would say not to. KnK is a very specific story that, i feel, had to be done in the way it was done. i would not recommend that others follow its way. it's way too unique. |

| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I didn't know anything about the source and I loved them. So for the first part I can't say and second question is a no; an adaptation should be an adequate substitute for the source. Although, the source is usually more detailed and expanded. |
