I had made a review of this before but i lost it on the MAL crash a while ago ;-; so here it goes again. Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen is the fifth and currently the longest running KnK movie to date. This movie really is something special for those who enjoy getting mindfucked. Trust me.
Story:
+ Very unique presentation for the plot
+ Very interesting plot itself once you realize what is going on
+ 2 hour long movie improved the amount of development for characters and plot itself
- It can very easily confuse the viewer if they are not paying full attention at the movie. Since events in a way are not happening in chronological order.
Art
+ Fantastic background art
+ Awesome animation considering the fast pace of some scenes
+ Detailed look at decomposing and served people >_>
- Some slight weird faces there and then but nothing major
Sound
+ Fantastic background music, there really isnt much else to say...it was flawless in this category. Hat goes off once again to Kajiura Yuki
Character
+ Aozaki finally gets some decent screentime and development
+ Shiki is just a very mysterious and interesting character in general
+ Great character development overall, a notch up from the previous movies
- Kokuto is once again useless and non important >_>
Enjoyment: Easily one of the better anime movies i've seen, and by far my favourite Kara no Kyoukai movie yet. This movie made me a fan of the series. Can't wait for more.
Overall: If you enjoy deep and complex plots with lots of gore and unique presentation. Then this movie is perfect for you, it brings a very interesting plot, a lot of fantastic action scenes, and overall just a lot of entertainment. Fans of KnK will cum buckets over this. Those who havent watched any of the Kara no Kyoukai movies yet I highly recommend you watch them first, it just makes this movie more awesome and the time spend to just get to this movie will be worth it
