just finished movie 2 and while i have a lot of questions which could be answered in the coming movies i think that i’ll probably forget the ones i got from this one and add on more questions for the coming ones. so it’d be nice if you guys could tell me the ones that will be answered and the ones i should’ve got from this movie
-what’s the deal with shikis split persona. i’ve gathered that one side is her rebellious part and another is her ‘murderous’ part? or are they the same? or is there more than 2?
-shiki told kokutou that she might kill him. She also said that one of her personality parts only knows ‘loneliness’ or ‘isolation’. is it that she’s becoming attached to kokutou and that scares her so she doesn’t get hurt similarly to her own experiences?(i’m just guessing that part)
-was the trait that she has but not her brother the mystic eyes or whatever she had in the first movie?
Does the novel explain this somewhere or is just left ambiguous to the audience,
so i’ve just finished the first movie and it was a 7 imo with some pretty good dialogue. I’ve heard knk was an amazing series but mainly from people who have read the novel. does the anime do a good job of adapting the novel? i’ve heard the novel is also not translated too well but i wonder if the anime is a algood substiture
I watched Movie 1 I rated it a 7.5!
There are though some confusing parts I didnt understand.
Mainly about the "the hospital girl".
So From what I understood, she is a blind girl being all time at the hospital. However she has a second body given by someone we dont know (yet).
Why is a blind girl at the hospital, does she have other diseases?
Why does she control 2 bodies?
Did she kill the girls, because they couldnt see her "ghost body"?
I didnt understand the "flying and floating"
Is flying having a goal and floating living with no purpose?
did she kill herself because she had no purpose to keep going?
(please avoid answering the questions that get answerd in next movies)
I'm planning to watch Kara no Kyoukai, and I did my research, looks like originally the story is the 7 main movies, they adapt the original Dojin. then when the Dojin released commercially, (終章/空の境界, Owari Shō / Kara no Kyōkai) was included with the sixth and seventh stories as an extra (this important consideration for me). I want to ask, is this extra the source material for Epilogue OVA? (Q1)
Also when the movies adaption became popular Nazu/Takeuchi released a side story online, then commercially, this was adapted into the "Mirai Fukuin" movie, am I right ? (Q2)
Finally Takeuchi made manga of side stories and this is adapted into short film "Mirai Fukuin – Extra Chorus", right? (Q3) But was it written by Nazu too? (Q4)
Also they included a bonus LN "Final Record (終末録音, Shūmatsu Rokuon)" with the release of "Mirai Fukuin" movie, how does this relate to the rest of the story and was it written by Nazu too ? (Q5)
I think having these things right in my mind, the movies would make more sense, so help please
Edit: another question, Do the movies follow the same order as LN? Or does the LN follow chronological order while movies adopted an original order (I think Baccano! did this) (so Q6)
I remember thinking Fate Stay/Night would never get an official English translation, but today, not only do we have a Fate/Stay Night official English release, we have a Witch on the Holy Night and Tsukihime A Piece of Blue Glass Moon English release with the second half of Tsukihime coming in another year or so, so doesn't it kind of give us hope that the Kara no Kyoukai novels might just get an English translation? There hasn't been any news on it, but as far as speculation is concerned its sort of an interesting thought considering the landscape of Typemoon properties finally being released in the West. I guess I'm just hopeful that eventually Kara no Kyoukai might make its way to West, maybe even with an official English Dub of the anime, too.
Well what do you guys think?
