27 August 2008: Kara no Kyoukai makes me want to get an eye exam
Why are all Shikis so stabby-stabby?
All y'all failed to tell me ufotable is animating episodes of Kara no Koukai. And that Kajiura Yuki is composing the music. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm so there.
Nice glasses.
I fully support Girl Shiki's decision to wear combat boots and a red leather jacket with her kimono.
Yellow raincoats, not so much.
That extended fight scene in the first episode gave me End of Evangelion flashbacks. I could almost hear Sakamoto Maaya saying ERSTE in my head. Moreover, the music backing that fight is exactly the kind of thing I miss so much in My-Otome 0~S.ifr.
So that's what happens when you take Asuka off the meds.
Through the first three 50-minute installments, I have to admit Kara no Koukai is a little heavy, but that's to be expected given the subject matter and source material. It's good to indulge in moments like these to balance out the brain-sapping boobery of, say, Kanokon.
