To think I really have to retype out my old post? Ugh, oh well, it's for the good of man-kind!
Ok, let's start with the basics shall we? Kara No Kyoukai (which from now on, we shall call KnK, because that is a mouthful to keep typing) is a series of doujin novel created by the doujin circle known as Type-Moon back in 1998. The book was considered the prototype for the eroge known as Tsukihime, but that is for a different time, in a different thread.
KnK revolves around the heroine, Shiki Ryogi, a seemingly normal teenage girl, but with a slight difference. For one, she has a unique ability known as "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception", which allows her to see absolute death in all things. But thing's don't stop their, members born into Ryogi family are raised with two personalities, normally a male and a female, where one will be able to excel as fighting, while the other is able to tend to other things. But Shiki finds that she no longer has her male side after waking up from a two year coma due to a traffic accident.
Now, because I don't want to ruin the story, I will stop about such things and continue on about the recently published anime.
Currently, volume one (of seven) has been released onto DVD, with volume 2 and 3 following on their respective dates of 2008/06/25 and 2008/07/23, with volume four to soon be hitting theaters in Japan.
Now, in all honesty, I'm trying to push this onto everyone I know, because it's an amazing story, and the movie so far is very well done. The only true problem I had with it, was the fact that it felt to rush. But saying that, they did an amazing job of fitting the prologue into an hour segment. Currently I'll post the animesuki link to it, now enjoy!
