Can you make a 50 minutes episode which won't give you even 1 thing that makes you want to watch the 2nd episode? Well, Kara no Kyoukai certainly can.

This is one of those anime that put you in a middle of an unknown story and makes you sit through 50 minutes of dialogues without knowing what is going on. Some people like this, some people hate, but it can be okay as long as you get ANYTHING else from the anime to make you want to watch. It can be anything, but when:

- You don't get anything about the characters, their past, personality. Literally nothing, it feels like watching some random people talk for 50 minutes about stuff you don't know nothing about, but even worse, about what you don't care.

- Dialogues are vague, are not smart, are not deep (they try to sound deep but they are not for me at the least).

- There is pretty much no action at all, and when you do get some of it it is badly animated, not exciting

- Blood and gore is not properly matched to the reality, for example a girl committed a suicide by jumping out of the building, but she is massacred and covered in blood as if someone blew her up with a shotgun

- Music is decent, but it feels not properly matched to what is going on (on top of that remember, that you don't know what is going on)

- The episode does not finish with any cliffhanger nor shows any possibility of story development. Sure, I don't expect corny cliffhangers but when I just sat through 50 minutes of "I don't know whats going on" and then they finish me with "Ok, it is done" then please, I want to know who made this anime and I will never watch your stuff again in my life.

TO SUM UP: If you want to watch this anime, at the least prepare to invest 50 minutes of your time after which you won't know nothing, you won't feel nothing and you won't enjoy nor action nor dialogues. I dropped this after 1 episode and it is not because I only like easy and corny shonen anime, but because I really got nothing out of my 50 minutes so how can anyone expect me to go and invest more?
