Kara no Kyoukai - Mujun Rasen

This was too awesome to stay gone.

To those who haven't watched it yet - do it now. And to those who have - ... do it again :P

Built points of the 5th OVA:

- More action than ever
- Longer then ever
- Less subtle then previously to allow more eye candy and fleshing out several characters
- A whole gallery of awesome Shiki reactions. Everything form cute to badass
- More. Far more.

IMO the best of the 5.

Next time it's finally time for Azaka to come into play. Regrettably the date for the 6th OVA hasn't been announced yet :(

when I watched the 6th trailer on Youtube I saw some guy saying it's going to be released in end of February or the start of March.. I don't know where he got that info tho..

edit: here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Z4NfWmZeY read nastukage's reply
oh great now this one says it's coming out in July.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-WlhgCrx8

That's the thing - the official date hasn't been announced yet as far as I know (a recent topic on gg's IRC channel said the same thing and those guys are good at gathering info). Seeing how long and high budget Mujun Rasen was and how fairly quickly it premiered after the 4th ova I'm afraid that the next isn't going to show up anytime soon.

The artwork in this series is just plain phenomenal. Mad props to the artists and cg people. Also the way they lead you around with the story is pretty sweet.

Shiki was a guy before his accident and became a girl after? I thought Shiki was always a girl. Can anyone clarify this?

These aren't really spoilers but I'll hide it not to deprive anyone of solving the mysteries of KnK:

All that info (and more) is actually to be found in the first 4 OVAs if one looks hard enough. 8)

Ah, I get it now. It's just that Azaka's joke about whether Mikiya would still fall in love with Shiki if she was a guy threw me way off. Thanks for the clarification.

This part made me laugh.




I'm glad she's still alive. We also get to see Shiki and her be all badassed.

Also interesting to note

I GAVE UP ON SHINSEN-SUBS AND SO I FINALLY WATCHED THIS GODDAMNFUCKINGEPICSHIT WITH GG! THIS MOTHERFUCKER OF A SERIES DEFINITELY DESERVES A SECOND GO AFTER ALL 7 MOVIES ARE DONE AND COMPLETED; THOUGH I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T MIND IF THEY OPT TO GO FOR 3 MORE, EVEN BETTER IF TWICE OR THRICE AS MUCH!

WE SERIOUSLY NEED MORE OF THE LIKE. THE THING IS, THEY COULD ONLY EITHER BE AN OVA OR MOVIE SERIES AS SUCH CAUSE THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY BE AIRED/BROADCASTED ON TV FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO SEE (AT LEAST NOT JUST YET)!

NO NEED FOR DISCUSSIONS AND THAT AIN'T WHY I'M POSTING ANYWAY. I'M ONLY HOPING THAT MORE USERS HERE GETS A WIND OF THIS AWESOME SERIES AND BE AWARE OF ITS EXISTENCE!

IF THERE'S BUT LITTLE OF ANYTHING DISAPPOINTING, IT'S THAT TWO AWESOME GUYS DIDN'T LAST LONGER FOR ANY POTENTIAL REAPPEARANCE IN THE SERIES' REMAINDER. :(

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME WITH THE ALL CAPS, I'M MERELY TRYING TO EMPHASIZE HERE, OR SO I BELIEVE. I'M PRETTY MUCH DONE ANYWAYS. :razz:

ALSO, FUCK THE SPOILERS! I AIN'T USING ANY FOR THESE CAPS I'M POSTING SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS YET, BEST TO NO LONGER SCROLL FURTHER DOWN. (YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!)

* I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S DISCONTENTMENT! *

MY FAVORITE SCENES:


[size=12]I REALLY LIKED THIS GUY. TOO BAD HE WAS ALL TALK. I STILL ADMIRE HIM THOUGH FOR HIS FASHION SENSE AND FOR MOLESTING AN ALREADY MUTILATED HEAD, I GIVE HIM AN A+ IN MY PSYCHOANALYSIS; HE WAS VERY AMUSING IN THE VERY SHORT WHILE HE LASTED... [/h]


[size=12]POOR MIKIYA, ALMOST GETTING HIS BRAIN SPLATTERED IN THE WALL LIKE THAT. NEVERTHELESS, I LOVE THE SHOES MAN! (I WISH I COULD AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT) 8)


AND HERE WE HAVE YET ANOTHER GRUESOME/AWESOME GUY. THE ONLY FAULT THAT I CAN FIND IN HIM IS THAT HE WENT TO WAR WITHOUT BEING FULLY PREPARED! SHIT, SUCH A WASTE OF CHARACTER... NEVERTHELESS, HE WAS PRETTY ADMIRABLE WITH HIS INTENTION; TO SEE THE END OF A SPIRAL CALLED LIFE ITSELF. GUYS LIKE THESE CERTAINLY DON'T COME BY MUCH OFTEN AND TO EVEN THINK THAT I'D GREW FOND OF ANOTHER SORCERER OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT (ASIDE FROM LEZARD VALETH) WHO BENDS ALL LOGIC AND BRINGS NOTHING BUT ABSURDNESS TO THIS PRAGMATIC MIND OF MINE.[/h]


LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST... KAWAII~ :D


[size=12]I STILL THINK I LIKE SHIKI THIS WAY THE BEST! I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT SHE SHOULD STOP BEING BADASS BUT...

AND OF COURSE, GOTTA GIVE HALF OF THE CREDIT TO MAAYA SAKAMOTO. THIS SCENE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE BEST OTHERWISE.[/h]

PS: DONE! TO ALL THOSE WHO BOTHERED READING THIS POST, SORRY FOR THE UNNECESSARY EYESORE/MESS. IT WAS ALL INTENTIONAL BTW. :razz:

^ This ladies and gentlemen is a typical case of prolonged Kara no Kyoukai starvation. For your own safety don't try this at home ^_^


Lol - sorry for that hermit. No offense meant obviously. I remember I was quite fired up about this with my first topic, but the time warp erased all evidence. The fact that you managed to hold out this long is quite commendable. I somewhat wonder what you hold in higher regard right now - KnK or HellsingU. ?

Oh and about them two wasted characters you mentioned. I don't spoil myself about the story but it would seem you might get to see one of them once again ... future, past or whatever. You're also in for a change of atmosphere if you intend to watch Oblivion Recorder in the near future.

Sateto ... guess it's about time to watch this baby for the 3rd time ... or is it the 4th ...

Kara no Kyoukai is the best motherfucking Type-Moon Creation EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IMO

Shiki is badass
Touko is badass
Mikiya is Google
Mikiya's sis is badass

everyone is fucking badass and google

at first i was like who's bringing back this old post but then i saw the kara no kyoukai screenies and the Shiki-bed-blush I FUCKING JIZZED! (Almost)

that was like the first ever scene that i saw Shiki like that and it was awesome xD
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and Touko is so badass One hit KO Cornelius and Would've killed Araya too if he wasnt in the apartment complex xD

oh man and Shiki using Kuj Kanesada is so badass i dont know why but "Kill Bill" popped into my head though this is totally more badass.

and it was so hawt when the kimono Shiki was wearing showed up to her thigh XD

god cant wait dam it AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i fucking hope they include mirai gospel



WIN^

None taken anyway and yes, it's quite unfortunate that old wounds had to resurface from my mere posting here. But what can I say, I'm but a patient man; I had plenty of other stuff to take care of first. In any case, I've always believed that there's a perfect time for everything; I surely am not one to hurry.


By now, you must already know the answer to that yourself.. I definitely have EQUALLY (VERY) HIGH REGARDS for both series, only on two different platters (if you know what I mean). :wink:


Well, that ought to be good if ever true. Not that I don't believe it coming from you of course.


UNDOUBTEDLY I WILL although not anytime soon, unfortunately.

As for the atmospheric change, I sure don't think it would be of any issue to me but thanks for the warning; I'd certainly be prepared for it when the time comes. :D

As for KnK being "the best motherfucking Type-Moon Creation EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" ... I can't really comment as I've never really been into any T-M games, nor any VN whatsoever for that matter. I could only agree about the KnK movie series production to be AWESOME but mainly due to the fact that it's a MOVIE PRODUCTION and NOT quite your usual ANIME TV SERIES; rendered in a limited broadcast duration and a fixed amount of episodes, not mentioning the lesser budget given to them. Anyways, while I'm not really trying to insinuate anything, KnK definitely has (not exactly very original but) an intriguing story plus that very unique style of storytelling added to its movies, making it nevertheless ONE OF THE VERY BEST (FINEST) ANIMES I'VE EVER WITNESSED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!

That said, while I'm not expecting any much of a difference from the anime, I have high hopes on seeing CANAAN's theatrical/film adaptation to be on-PAR to say the least to that of KnK's overall production qualities. :D -Though the "movie-repackaging-move" certainly smells like shit from afar, I'm still wondering as to why venture on such an obvious money-making project if it's gonna be exactly just the way we saw it on TV, and be divided into 3-parts moresoever. :roll:

^This has been what I was meaning to discuss in its rightful thread not so long ago.. (another case of my typical "off-topic-absent-mindedness") :razz:

best T-M creation ever was in my opinion

And I wasn't denying that opinion, I was merely giving my own. Also, was it even necessary to quote my entire post? It was mostly a response to Das' anyway..

Aww, come on now Bitch; your former name in case you've already forgotten it yourself. Just because you've changed your name into "Superior" means that I'll exempt you from my whims. You know me, I always post this way. Just don't take it too personally bro, it was never intended to be.

Btw, congratz on your marriage, esp with Canaan. ... Sorry, I just can't help but lo...l.. Anyways, I'd at least try to refrain from commenting/saying anything foul against her for a couple of days, in regards to the joyous occasion; your wedding. Again, congratulations bro. :D

@Das: I apologize for yet another fuckin off-topic post. You can go ahead and kill me if you want; if it's you, I surely wouldn't mind. [size=3]But I'll definitely take you with me in the after life (preferably hell), whether you believe in its existence or not.[/h]
